Oh, the lit fans hate the film fans,
And the film fans hate the lit fans.
To hate all fans but your fans
Is an old established rule.

But at your Local Media Con, Local Media Con,
Bill Shatner and Ellison put their happy faces on.
It's fun to eulogize
The fandoms you despise,
As long as you don't think that they are cool.

Oh, the LARPers hate the filkers,
And the filkers hate the LARPers.
While the dealers make us paupers,
It's American as apple pie.

But at your Local Media Con, Local Media Con,
The 501st admit that they kinda liked The Wrath of Khan.
Step up and shake the hand
Of a GoH that you can't stand.
You can tolerate him if you try.

Oh, the SMOFs hate the Trekkies
And the Trekkies hate the gamers
And the Whozits hate the Warsies
And everybody hates the Furs!

But at your Local Media Con, Local Media Con,
It's None-of-us-have-got-a-freaking-life-a-Con.
Read a fanfic or two
Written by Mary Sue.
It's only a weekend, so pleae don't pine-
You can go home and flame them all online!
