I am now spending money on a "Steampunk" costume

why would you want to disguise yourself? Aren't you content with being yourself?

Don't they have Halloween and Sci-fi/Comic Book Conventions in Germany?

no halloween and (to my knowledge) no comic book cons.
We do have SciFi cons (I regularly attend those in my town as an interpretor) but only the weirdos would put on make up and costumes. We always consider them borderline nuts and definitely ridiculous. Nobody does it at the cons in my town (unless you count a club badge or a club t-shirt as costume).
We Germans are a serious people. Make up and costumes are for clowns. And clowns belong at a circus, not at a convention.

It looks like I need to visit some cons in costume in Germany asap. I'd love to be able to start a new trend.

I think I finally understand why you defend Eloisel to the extent that you do.
You don't _really_ have a sense of humor either.
Afterparty at the base of the cross. Your's or her's. Makes no difference to me.

What you have is not a sense of humor, Gear. It is called putrid malignance.

eloisel puts people in a box, dare I say negatively before positively
Consumer just wants in your box
Gear is a box. Just kidding-I had nothing to say about you really.
Loktar is all sorts of fun!

That's exactly what we all know you would say. Or what a bitter old woman without a sense of humor would say. The ongoing effort to drag us all down to your miserable level. No thank you.
Sorry Eloisel, I don't want to be as sad as you. Not at any age.
How's your self-crucifixion going anyway? Pretty good by the looks of it. Good thinking picking a German to help.

Correction, Gear: E didn't put me to help. She is woman enough to look after herself (and better than any man could).
I interfered because we Germans stick with our friends without any ifs and buts.
As for my sense of humour - that's purely a matter of perspective. We Germans believe that in order to make fun about others, one must first be able to make fun about oneself. A concept that naturally must be bewildering to a member of the nation that is most famous for its culture of bullying, a talent honed to razor-sharpness over the course of the last 2 centuries as you had the grace to demonstrate.
I would, however, like to point out that the customary victim of a sharp razor is the person who holds it. So it might be a good idea if you'd put it down before you cause irreparable damage.

How hard do you think it would be to find a German who can actually make fun of themself?
Why if that were possible we wouldn't have BMW or Braun.

Given that it's a Celtic holiday, I wouldn't expect it to be big in Germany.
