I got it in an email that claimed "actually taken from student essays", but it seems too convienent to me. It strikes me though that it could be the work of one evil programmer and a very wron spellcheck program.

Good story Ringlancer.
Thanks. It gives me somthing to meditate on today.

Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 100 foot clipper.

Not an easy task!

Depends - any culture that used lamellar usually used a helm. That's lotts of centuries and lotts of places. ...from the Mongols, to the Romans, to the Brits, to the Russians, etc... The WMA plates are the D shaped (I'm limited in my knowledge on those). So the Q is: Who used D shaped lamellar plate...

Is this a good source for my research? The nineteenth century was a time of many great inventions and thoughts. The invention of the steamboat caused a network of rivers to spring up. Cyrus McCormick invented the McCormick raper, which did the work of a hundred men. Samuel Morse invented a code of t...

Here it is: Sarnac, have you thought of having your plates tumbled, you can buy a small tumbler for under 100.00 or you can find a service on the web or in your yellow pages to have them tumbled, i am fairly sure there is an agressive enough media to remove the powdercoating, then various media can ...

wow nice kit how do u not get your jaw broke or passed the marshalls? the face plate doesnt look like it covers the back molars great kit ooo - just noticed that! A side spear shot or thrusting pole looks like it could have you eating you hamburger throuh a straw! Sweet kit though. Any action shots?

I didn't have any burs o mine when I got em (2 yrs ago).
There's a machine that Adam Berry posted on Sarnac's "Going to the Darkside ... Noble Plastics thread"...

The rocks look like petrified dino-poop!
Eureka!!

Actually I found several #6's by tracks at work.
I figured, maybe they could be cleaned yp and used for fluting?

D. Sebastian

Very nice!

I envision an entire matching kit on the field, and both armies stanging and stairing at the fortunate and majestic warrior
...and noone sure quite what to do.

D. Sebastian

Nice job!

I've been soaking my rawhide doggie treats for shield edging. Unfortunately lotts came up and its been soaking 2 weeks now. (oops) The water doesn't smell, but it is getting cloudy. How can I tell if its still good to use? I prob wont be able to get to it for another 2 days. Recomendations? Thanks

Isn't purpously aiming for the groin illegal?

No.

Not to mention unchivalrous.

Yes.
But... still funny as hell. Made me shoot a donut out of my nose when I read it.

The second was at Blackstone Raids

Yeah - I was there for that.
That sucked.
The Marshalls shold have kept the hold till your spear war returned.

That is my favorite story ever!

Should we nix it instead?

I considered that it may come out to be a "reality TV" type thread, but I'm actually looking for the stories where the Marshals rule the day and where Marshals Court has the say.

(More of a "T. J. Hooker" or CHIPS, than Law and Order.)

At the very least I'm hoping for examples of how not to act.

D. Sebastian

Not a bad one but... The worst I've ever seen was a 6 on 6 melee. It was a rainy day and it all seemed to be going well until we realized that one of the fighters on our side started screaming at an opponent re: blowing off shots. "I hit you!!! I hit you!!! you're a cheater!!!" It was very embarrass...

m BdeB's thread got me thinking... Harsh or abusive language, Threaths, throwing wildly, Cursing, Punching, grappling...seen it all. I have seen it range from harsh words to fistfights and deliberate attempts to injure people on the field. Without naming names, describe the worst display of sportsma...

D. Sebastian

Very cool!!

When you get this project done and in production, I'd like to discuss the possibility of you designing and making a full set of manica arms (top of hand to shoulder) and legs (toe to top of leg) in the same style for my SCA cataphractos persona.

Nice!

Great price Steve.
