While we are pulling out the pulpit... I can't believe those of you who are saying that you want a full force cup shot for it to be good. You are crazy. CRAZY! I love my Junk too much for that man.... You tag that puppy, and 'watering down the sport' or not, i'm taking it. And i'm training my peopl...

I don't know how this falls on the ultimate cup shot scale but... NSTIW- when a dude got cracked in the jimmy and falls over screeming. Hold is called adn folks gather round. Help arives and his pants come down to reveal his cup had cracked and pinched a bit of manly parts in the cracked plastic th...

OK Ultimate cup shot story. One of the guys from the group I was in was fighting at one of the fort battles at Gulf Wars. He was S&S on his knees in the breach. He trusted upward and hit a fighter right in the cup. He started saying he was sorry for hitting the cup so hard when the guy replied, "You...

Going out for the lead role in Hellboy 2?

There is intimidation out there. When I was a young fighter it was Duke Olaf Askoldsson. Not that I was afraid to fight him, but felt I could not beat him so I was intimidated by his prowess. These days I have respect for fighters but not imtimidated by any. However, I have seen Duke Gareth, Duke Ai...

I agree with much of Kilkenny. Matter of fact these days I fight mostly spear in wars due to my Knees. I can't press or accept charges the way I once could I honestly think it takes less effort to be an effective spear fighter than being an effective shield man in a melee. Notice I said effective an...

All hail the Revival boots with the Vibram sole. They are great! I have been fighting in them for 3-4 months and they work wonderful. I was worried about ankle support and traction but I have had no ankle problems and traction is only even a question if the grass is wet. But if I move on my toes it...

I saw his outfit from last year and have yet to meet him. I just admire his whole kit.

This is my thought when a few off us talked about it before. 1) As Brennus said, donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t expect miracles 2) Get everyone on the same page and same idea of what they want out of the company. 3) Don't start one with all new fighters or fairly new guys. People grow in the SCA and their goals and d...

Winningas hooks, that's the name I brain farted on yesterday. I shouldn't try and post from work when it's my Anniversary

Hey Camric I thought you were out touring the world or something

How are you?

Thanks everone,
Vebrand

A few years back there was a thread on Norse/Viking leg wrappings and the hooks used to hold them. Since I have lost a lot of my saved info since then can someone give me there name and and links to pictures or merchants.

Thanks in advance,

I hate to say this.... but this SEM has shown, by his actions, a history of ruling by Fiat and issuing changes at a whim with NO regard to how it effects the Fighting community at large as long as it fits his personal agenda.... I really, really hate going here and this is one of the reasons I have...

Vebrand

Sarnac, I think people are reading to deeply into this. That is what is really mudding the waters. Now let me get this right. The SEM posted proposed changes out to the standards committee and the KEMs asking their opinion. Basically saying, "Hey, here are some changes I am looking at for the next r...

Now that's funny

One of the best I have heard of was, "This does not pay the rent".

A good funny one was..."No Sh** here you are".

PS- I thought Robert's kit looked pretty good last time I saw it.

Robert's kit has looked great for years, I am just shooting at others who have taken shots at him without knowing him.

Don't get me wrong, to me the SCA is still the most fun you can have with your clothes on, but rulings from on high lately have not impressed me overly much, because of the lack of uniform interpretation. But then people would call the BOD, SEM, or others dictators trying to ruin the SCA for everyo...

Vebrand

The SEM could not have put that in. I have seen way to many people on this board say the SEM has no clue about period apperance or fighting styles and thus would never put something like this in plae.....

Who Knows SEM, Likes the SEM, and considers him a good friend.

Thanks so much everyone. My home computedr's hard drive died so today is the first time I am able to check the AA.

I know this has come up before but I am asking for one of my suires. Does anyone know of the armourer in Calontir that makes the Valsgrad ^ helms?

Thanks,

Fat fingers, OK

Also my mistake Calontir not Caid.

They both start with a "C".

29 3/4 hat band size. That is huge.

You know, I have been fighting for about 5 years in aluminum legs with knees and they have held up very, very well. I hide them now-a-days under pants but they are very effective for SCA fighting.

Here is the terrible answer....EVERYONE...... Really, I adapt and take from others what see and what works for me. I have never had the chance to really study the masters and practice with others (though I wish one day to). SO everything I use, teach, and have learned has come from personal fighting...

Seeing that you are back in Nottinghill Coill, part of me feels that I should be moving back, too. From what I have seen (at gulf wars) and read on the baronial list, it looks like my old barony is just as full of great, entertaining (grin) people as ever. Arkie even posts from time to time, but do...

I am moved in to my house at Shaw AFB, Still have to get boxes unpacked but mostly the move is over

Might have messed up my achilles tendon at practice in Little Rock. I blame it on Brandr's back yard and not my jumping around like a young kid Vebrand This being the logical consequence of an old knight trying to teach a lesson to a mouthy squire. I, being far more young and vital, came through th...

Vebrand

Sir Vebrand, Just to make sure, do you have all of the information you need regarding the Cyddlain Downs practice, our canton and baronial yahoo groups, etc? Anything to help make the transition easier. That's one hell of a move you're making. It will be nice to have another fighter at practice too...
