DON'T. JUST PLEASE DON'T.

Just because some jerks on a bulletin board needed the taste of blood and chose mine, don't forget why you got involved in the first place.

Does rainbringer have the ropes sewn into it leading from the peak down to the eaves? Maeryk No, the ropes were supposed to pull on the seams. One of the reasons why we converted her to spokes. "Rainbringer" is the name of our monster round--so called because everytime we put her up, it rains.

Hushgirl

Reach into the opposing line.

Pick up a handful of opposing fighters.

Throw them away until you find the guy with the white belt.

Use him to clobber the Duke.

Here's the pic.

How did you get it to look like that without spokes or poles? When we put up Rainbringer per instructions we got a big old ugly teepee, no matter how far out we put the stakes.

People in this hobby are always in a recession.

How long does it take to put this up?

The bad photography is my fault. I accidentally deleted the good shots.

Hushgirl

Any further news?

All the really cool knights just know where it is.

We though about something a little earlier. With a good tan, I could pass as the other side of my heritage. He could be a freedman trapper who traded for me. Then he could own me.

I'd likely try to find a detachment of the 54th Massachucetts USCV. I'd get the kit of a simple private, and tour ACW battle sites. Trouble is, the only way Hush and I could participate together would be if she portrayed a Southern woman of quality, and I portray her valet... I would not!! I'd be a...

I looked, but didn't ahve much luck. Being isolated, it may be possible their "folk" dress didn't change much. Beats me.

Maiming and killing your opponent is period.

We're planning to report to Da Duke the weekend after for recovery (cleaning, repair, etc.) and we're bringing ribs. Da Duke has a yard and a grill.

He's here somewhere.

When a whitebelt changes his address.....

When you need a thickener for your liqueur and the supply store is across the lake and a member of the chivalry takes a dory across to get it and bring it back.....

Knight row glycerin.

Chiv in a Hawaiian shirt and lei, with a MaiTai and a boombox......Party knight.

Chiv at the top of a dogpile.......Slow knight.

Knight with twelve squires, a wife, a girlfriend and four kids....busy knight.

Knight who can never remember the words to his chanson.....karaoke knight.

How do you Owen a helm? Did you share it with other people? Argue politics in it? Wear it to political protests?

(attempt at lightening the mood)

Semantics are important. Would you rather your child told your boss on the phone that you were indisposed, or that you were in the bathroom with the runs? It's a written medium . He's trying to point out to you that you're being unreasonable. You don't seem to be able to hear (or speak) any language...

Hushgirl

T-Bob is too nice to tell you when you're being a jerk.

I, however, was raised among plainer-speaking folk.

Paladia, you're being a jerk. Lighten up.

Warren Cummins at Hoseki Leather does 11th century reenactment with me, he makes great blowing horns. All natural, and they sound brilliant. Contact is here:

Good luck,

I don't see them on that site.

Well, I'm sorry but he did say:

Knowing how quick some people are to snipe, I was just trying to keep him from getting off on the wrong foot.

Hushgirl

A google search will help with the armour. You do know it was ceremonial and only worn for special occasions?? It's not garb, and wearing it as such will tick off the Jewish membership. In the meantime, you need to change that name. "Sir" is a rank you do not yet hold. "Yeshua Lightseeker" will not ...

**FWAP!**

Now go and document sequinned catseye glasses.

Sounds landsknechty.

Hushgirl

I'm sure somebody will think of something.

Hushgirl

Not that I'm encouraging such chastisement (because I grow weary of it, personally), but I believe you mean "Jehan", not "Peder". In defense of Jehan, I will say that some of my best research has been born from attempting to back-document a 'common' garment seen all over the SCA -- the so-called fe...

Hushgirl

The line to chastise Peder for buying and wearing before he documents forms to the right....

You knew it would happen.

I'm told olive oil has a nutty smell. It doesn't burn quite as clean as parafin oil, so be prepared for smudging at the top of your tent. Tea lights also put themselves out, and they have those neat little cups to hold the residue. Since we have a spoked wheel, T-Bob made a light fixture with (yes) ...

Unfortunately, things have probably gotten too bad for any compromise to be acceptable, and certain persons will have nothing but complete removal of CA from the field, however reasnable they might try to seem to be. You can kill an elephant one thorn at a time.
