| | Supported by Britain, the Turks took a firm stand against the Russians, who occupied the Danubian principalities (modern Romania) on the Russo-Turkish border in July 1853. The British fleet was ordered to Constantinople (Istanbul) on September 23. On October 4 the Turks declared war on Russia and in the same month opened an offensive against the Russians in the Danubian principalities. After the Russian Black Sea fleet destroyed a Turkish squadron at Sinope, on the Turkish side of the Black Sea, the British and French fleets entered the Black Sea on Jan. 3, 1854, to protect Turkish transports. On March 28, Britain and France declared war on Russia. To satisfy Austria and avoid having that country also enter the war, Russia evacuated the Danubian principalities. Austria occupied them in August 1854. In September 1854 the allies landed troops in Russian Crimea, on the north shore of the Black Sea, and began a year-long siege of the Russian fortress of Sevastopol. Major engagements were fought at the Alma River on September 20, at Balaklava on October 25, and at Inkerman on November 5. On Jan. 26, 1855, Sardinia-Piedmont entered the war and sent 10,000 troops. Finally, on Sept. 11, 1855, three days after a successful French assault on the Malakhov, a major strongpoint in the Russian defenses, the Russians blew up the forts, sank the ships, and evacuated Sevastopol. Secondary operations of the war were conducted in the Caucasus and in the Baltic Sea. |

| A true [[attention whore|primadonna]] among [[cosplay|cosplayers]], and that’s saying something. From his [[fucktard|attitude]] upon entering his first contests, to his late and unlamented career trying to run a cosplay (into the ground) himself, Corey Gough's [[trolling|shenanigans]] have been a [[lulz|comedy]] of [[retarded|errors]], replete with [[drama]], from start to finish. In fact, he’s been shitting his signature blend of high-pitched [[faggotry|hysterics]] and [[unwarranted self-importance]] all over the anime [[convention|con]] circuit for 10+ years now.
| | After Austria threatened to join the allies, Russia accepted preliminary peace terms on Feb. 1, 1856. The Congress of Paris worked out the final settlement from February 25 to March 30. The resulting Treaty of Paris, signed on March 30, 1856, guaranteed the integrity of Ottoman Turkey and obliged Russia to surrender southern Bessarabia, at the mouth of the Danube. The Black Sea was neutralized, and the Danube River was opened to the shipping of all nations. The Crimean War was managed and commanded very poorly on both sides. Disease accounted for a disproportionate number of the approximately 250,000 men lost by each side. |

| =Some Memorable Cosplay Entries=
| | The war did not settle the relations of the powers in eastern Europe. It did awaken the new Russian emperor Alexander II (who succeeded Nicholas I in March 1855) to the need to overcome Russia’s backwardness in order to compete successfully with the other European powers. A further result of the war was that Austria, having sided with Great Britain and France, lost the support of Russia in central European affairs. Austria became dependent on Britain and France, which failed to support that country, leading to the Austrian defeats in 1859 and 1866 that, in turn, led to the unification of Italy and Germany. |

| ==Skit #1==
| |
| | |
| He managed to get his entire skit team disqualified at the last Nekocon, by showing one skit at rehearsal, and then doing something rather different (taking a fake dump and humping somebody's leg) on stage. Well, you can see the whole pointless thing on YouTube, and it’s no wonder that this [[clusterfuck|tasteless mess]] got disqualified.
| |
| | |
| <center><youtube>ME8VlKAqCcs</youtube></center>
| |
| | |
| ==Skit #2==
| |
| | |
| Previously seen in this video was a cross dressing Cory, this time as some squeaky chara from Mao-chan. However, [[butthurt|he ended up removing the video from youtube]].
| |
| | |
| ==Skit #3==
| |
| | |
| Another awful skit full of whining and proving his skills as a cosplayer. And another video removed once he got smart enough to realize being a faggot is a bad thing.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ==Other Cosplay Wankery==
| |
| | |
| *His self importance was so great at one point that he claimed that "reading the fine print" on cosplay entry forms "wasn't his problem." It was, and he did not participate in that convention's [[cosplay]].
| |
| | |
| *Once [[unrealistic expectations|asked for a real grand piano]] to be put on stage, completely disregarding the logistics of such a request, and not caring that said piano would be in the way of other [[cosplayers]].
| |
| | |
| *At one [[cosplay]], literally 10 seconds before he was to go on stage, he asked to hook his laptop up to the tech table, completely disregarding the "work things out with tech crew" instructions he was given earlier that day during rehearsal.
| |
| | |
| ==Related ego-wank==
| |
| [[Image:Corey_Fansview.JPG|thumb|right|Oh look! He’s even a cosplay [[internet celebrity]]]]
| |
| Because nothing screams “I’ve arrived!” like shameless self-promotion. He clearly wrote up that nomination himself.
| |
| | |
| =Some Ego-tastic Anime Con Hijinks=
| |
| | |
| *He once threw a Nekocon voice actor guest out of her workshop room before her time was up, so he could set up early for one of his ridiculous [[faggotry|game shows]]. What overly complex bit of set-up necessitated disrupting a real guest’s panel? Handing the tech crew people a CD with [[anime]] theme songs on it. When informed of his error in timing, he proceeded to go ballistic on the head of tech crew, causing her to suffer a breakdown.
| |
| | |
| *He once failed to show up entirely for AUSA, leaving them with nobody to run a whole department, with “[[lies|medical emergency]]” as his excuse. And it’s not like he notified anybody beforehand; he just went AWOL. Way to screw over an entire [[convention|con]], [[douche|dickweed]]!
| |
| | |
| *He once handed a DVD of Japanese commercials to the tech crew at KatsuCon right before one of his game shows, with the instructions to “stop the video just before the actual product is shown.” Wow, those must be some kind of [[unrealistic expectations|psychic]] techies, if they can be expected to know when the products are going to be shown, without a chance to preview the video.

| =Satan’s Gift to Wimmin (Or, [[sex|overcompensating]]: yr doin it rite)=
| |
| | |
| Corey has a lot of trouble keeping his [[penis|dick]] in his pants. In fact, he has a lot of trouble keeping his dick in only one woman’s pants at a time. Here’s one short piece of his love life’s timeline:
| |
| | |
| #Dated anime fan “A”
| |
| #Cheated on “A” to be with “D”
| |
| #Got engaged to “D”, who moved to live with him
| |
| #Cheated on “D” to be with “?”, kicked “D” out, she had to go back to her parents
| |
| #Meanwhile, kept hitting on random cute female [[16 year old girls|cosplayers]] whose cel phone #s he got from their entry forms
| |
| #Went crawling back to “D”, moved to be near her
| |
| | |
| Wow. Lotta class there, [[loser|champ]].
| |
| | |
| =Hair Paranoia=
| |
| | |
| So [[batshit|paranoid]] about his premature balding, he stopped washing or combing his hair, wearing it in a ratty ponytail to try to avoid even a single hair from falling out due to cleanliness. However, since he’s now screwing a hairstylist, she has laid down the law and forced him not to look like the greasy creep he is.
| |
| | |
| [[Image:Coreys_Motivator.jpg|thumb|Back when he had more]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| The grease factor of what little hair is present in that delightful skullet has earned him frequent comparisons to The Crypt Keeper as well as The Rocky Horror Picture Show's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riff_Raff_(hunchback Riff-Raff]

| =The Epic Uber Fucking Four-Year Trollage=
| |
| | |
| Most of this is still posted publicly! Joy joy joy. Lap it up while it lasts, you [[drama whore|drama junkies]] you.
| |
| | |
| Corey once sent a lovely little email to former staffers at KatsuCon that he eventually replaced. Proving once again that [[drama queens|cosplayers]] tend to be ungrateful, whiny little bitches. And here was another whine, thinly disguised. So the couple had a terrible, wonderful idea. [[trolling|Troll-time]]! They wrote back, daring him ‘if you think you can do a better job, go ahead and try.’ Which brought a following, much friendlier email. See them both here:
| |
| | |
| [http://csue-n-moo.livejournal.com/12354.html]
| |
| | |
| They already wanted KatsuCon to suffer, and absolutely hated this insufferable little prick. So what better idea than to make sure that the con got the worst possible replacement? Everybody in the know was sure Corey’d fail, and nobody was disappointed. The secondary troll-goal became: Let Corey see how it feels to be forced to do some work, to not be allowed to be the center of attention, and to get [[pwned|sacked]]. It was sure to happen eventually; all that was required was to be patient, poke him with a stick once in a while to feed his paranoia, and point out all the many things he did wrong. They all got trolled on a long-term basis, and it was [[lulz|epic]].
| |
| | |
| ==Rough Start==
| |
| | |
| The first thing they did was to convince the con staff that a [[lies|friend of theirs was willing to take over their job]]. She didn’t, of course; she just kept the seat warm for a few months, while Corey jumped up and down with his tongue hanging out, begging for the job. By the time she made it clear she wasn’t doing any work, they had no choice but to take him, and then they were stuck.
| |
| | |
| Next, they started [[troll|posting selected emails]] from the super-secret staff-only KatsuCon mailing list. Every so often, they’d randomly post some amusing shit from the ML just to remind them that they still could. Anything they wanted kept private, got made public for ridicule and mock. Sure enough, a witch-hunt ensued, with the con trying to figure out just who was passing out dirt. They still don't know.
| |
| | |
| Oh, yeah, and the [[you|stupid fuckers]] forgot to swap over the con’s re-mailer to Corey's address for months, resulting in some hijinx:
| |
| | |
| [http://csue-n-moo.livejournal.com/8292.html]
| |
| | |
| Of course there had to be some [[faggotry|wank]] stirred up on cosplay.com, captured here for your amusement, just to let him know he would be tested right from the start:

| |
| | |
| ==Ahead, Troll Factor Ten!==
| |
| [[Image:Coreys_Haircut.JPG|thumb|A combover by any other name is still a lame adaptive strategy]]
| |
| Then the real [[lulz|shenanigans]] began. He’d made such a big deal about how exclusive his cosplay was going to be, and how all the spots would be taken so fast after the reg form went online. So the trolls ginned up five [[lies|fake entries]], and submitted them. All but one were accepted – He may have spotted the obvious fake, but he didn’t spot the other four, even though they were mailed from the same IP address - Which left a pretty thin cosplay that year, when those four (of course) didn’t show up.
| |
| | |
| [http://csue-n-moo.livejournal.com/15230.html Start here and troll forward a few entries for all 5 lulz-a-licious hoax details]
| |
| | |
| Fake entries were probably what led him to start requiring cell phone numbers on all of his entries. Of course, this gave him the added bonus of being able to phone up and [[sex|hit on]] all the cute girls who entered, that he might feel like sleeping with. And call them he did. Ewww. Here’s hoping his current fucktoy has gotten all her STD shots.
| |
| | |
| Cosplayers always cause [[lulz|wank]] when they don’t win, but some of the decisions his judges made baffled everybody. But did he learn? Not Corey. Here’s his reaction to the fuss kicked up:

| |
| After 4 years of this, he had managed to piss off virtually every department at KatsuCon. The tech crew hated him. Security despised him. The webmaster openly mocked him. The senior staff got fed up with making his hotel reservations for him. The new hall costume department had defected from him in disgust. Even his own staffers turned on him. And of course, at meetings he never bothered to attend, all these pissed-off staffers were complaining to the con chair, who decided to sack him weeks before the con was held. They just couldn’t get rid of him until his last show was over, because who would step in at the last minute to run the [[clusterfuck|fucking mess]] he’d created?
| |
| | |
| So the show went on, with a record number of [[lulz|fuck-ups]]. He took no control over his own rehearsal. He tried to reserve a huge number of seats in the tiny hall for his contestants to occupy, but that was a [[unwarranted_self_importance|ridiculous]] request since seating was so limited, so they got stowed in a green room (where they belong) instead (Never mind that he was informed that his cosplayers were Green Room bound at least 6 months before the con.) And the hall filled slowly, due to security’s anal-retentive need to ensure that nobody saved a seat. And there were tech glitches, as there always are, because electronic equipment is as fragile as it is powerful, and Shit Happens; [[lies|none of that happened on purpose]].
| |
| | |
| But the worst problem, entirely his fault, was that he required his judges to put on a skit. Judges are there to do a job, not [[attention_whore|hog the limelight]], but then again, when you turn judging into a thing-to-be-got-by-sucking-up, and when your cosplay director sets such a fine, spotlight-hogging example, these are the kinds of judges you get. Well, they went off to a room to practice their skit, when they should have been wrangled to their seats, and got themselves locked into that room, and nobody bothered unlocking the door for another 45 minutes.
| |
| | |
| The con chair was thanking and congratulating his replacement before the staff dinner was over.
| |
| | |
| He’d been fired, and [http://csue-n-moo.livejournal.com/142610.html everybody knew it but him].
| |
| | |
| It didn’t help that his private [[faggotry|writeup]] on “things to improve for next year” included a lot of insults to everybody surrounding him, including all the judges he’d chosen, and a lot of the staff. Nope, [http://csue-n-moo.livejournal.com/145307.html he still didn’t get it;] [[retarded|he was the problem]], and had been all along.
| |
| | |
| ==A Hissy-Fit is Born==
| |
| | |
| Of course, when the public announcement was made after the Dead Dog meeting, he went [[batshit|apeshit]], and claimed it was all a [[lies|conspiracy]] between the ex-staffers and the entire current staff of the con to get him fired. See his attempted [[faggotry|shitstorm]] here, from 4-chan:

| Now, you know if you read it on LJ or 4-chan, it must be true. XP
| |
| | |
| Tl;dr – Here’s the summary:
| |
| | |
| #Corey: Bitch set me up!!
| |
| #4chan: Horrible! Blargh! Vengeance is ours!
| |
| #Corey: Yes, my minions – Now, attack!
| |
| #4chan: *Yawn* Bored now.
| |
| #Corey: But, but... *sputter*
| |
| #4chan: We’re not your personal army. TITS or GTFO.
| |
| #Corey: [[wambulance|WAHHH!]] **Headsplodin'**
| |
| | |
| As you can see, his [[bump|attempts to incite the masses]] just led to more and more apathy. He tried starting a 3rd thread, but that was so pathetic that it wasn’t worth even screencapping. Corey may be a douchenozzle, but even he deserves some [[goatse|dignity]].
| |
| | |
| Anybody else out there still think cosplay is srs biznez? Ahead, troll factor ’’twelve!’’ XD
| |
| | |
| =Hypocrisy Much?=
| |
| | |
| One explanation for Corey's behavior is the fact that he is a self-admitted, card carrying [[Conservatism|conservative]]. And we aren't talking the kinda cool conservative like [[John McCain|McCain]]. No, we are talking the hardcore ultra-right-wing kind that shares company with the likes of [[Billo The Clown|Bill-O]], [[Rush Limbaugh|Rush]], and [[Ann Coulter|Coultergeist]]. He's so far to the right that he once called a moderate "friend" of his, "A liberal that was too much of a pussy to admit it." This explains his holier than thou attitude, his sense of entitlement, and general feelings that the rules don't apply to him. He's just emulating his heroes in congress!
| |
| | |
| But one has to wonder: What would his Ultra-Conservative cohorts think of his [[Tranny|cross-dressing]], [[Anna Nicole Smith|promiscuity]], or his [[Cosplay|deviant]] [[Furry|lifestyle]] choices?
