Hey, my tinfoil hat has a propeller!

I did a murder mystery night with the family not long ago, and I had
to dress up as a nerd. I wore my regular clothes, used my Motorola
Canopy Training badge on a retractable leash as my name tag, I had my
Blackberry, and company pager (as I was on call), plus a gadget bag on
my belt full of nifty toys that I have collected. During the course of
the evening, I was instructed to try and find the person with the
largest flash drive... well, needless to say, I won that one, and you
didn't even have to add the capacity of all three drives that I had on
me at the time. (No, I didn't know about needing a flash drive before
hand). The only special things I did, was slick down my hair, wear
some glasses with tape on them, and hike my pants up a little higher
than usual... BTW, everyone really liked my pocket shoe shine kit!

I didn't even take any ham radio gear with me!

The photo proof is on Facebook...
