Oh. Gotcha, George. I think we're all on the same page as you, it's just that some have different ways of expressing the unity for Ralph. As for the phrase, "playing 'fast and loose'": Both the words "fast" and "loose" are terms used in archery, dating back to the Middle Ages; when the "provost of t...

Hi, George -

Sorry you feel that way about the origin of various phrases....I think the topic is fascinating! Like the term, "playing 'fast and loose'" which has it's origin....

Oh, that's right....we aren't doing that....

Just do what you need to do, Ralph. We're all behind you.

Hang in there, Ralph. We're sticking with you, buddy.

You're wicked, you know? On the other hand...Gus deserves a LOT worse...Hmmmmmm

You didn't find one at the EMT's meal tent next to the troll booth? The local EMT's reputedly get 90% of their annual operating budget from that 10-day concession {grin}!

Were you up in the woods near the highway or out on the Serengeti (open field)?

Both of the SCA "kingdoms" of Atlantia (VA, NC, SC) and Meridies (GA, AL, MS, TN, LA, parts of KY, WV, FL) have "equestrian colleges" with horse games like ring tilting ("ring jousting"), horseback archery, "tent pegging" (hitting a small ground target with a spear while riding by), and quintaine jo...

Yep, Pennsic XXV was '96. I was in the Meridian encampment out on the "Serengeti"...about 150 yards from the highway. We were a stone's throw from the Ansteorran encampment where the tall scaffolding and plywood tower was erected. I shot in the war point archery tournament - did decently, not great,...

{grin} Mothspiral...they've said much more than that over the years! What I hated was when they blew their horns going by the campground late at night (both years I went, our encampment was near the highway). I drew a comic once where a trucker was pulled over and there were about 50 arrows through ...

Ralph, What I interpreted george as saying is that violence - particularly overt, vindictive violence - in reply to violence, can be counterproductive. To her statement, I'll add, "Violence is not the end-all answer to violence; in our world, violence may at some point in a conflict of wills become ...

Well said, george. Well said.

Oh, man......I'm gonna miss him......

Considering that Ben apparently is using a longbow (an invention of the <i>Welsh</i> rather than English), a LOT of things can go wrong on the shot and little of what passes for archery using a compound bow - or pistol, for that matter - will translate into "traditional" archery. For one thing: no s...

Hi, Garm. Here in the 'States, the "RenFaires" have jousting "shows", choreographed swordfights and fencing, etc., for entertainment. Generally, many Renfaires use a loose definition of the "Reniassance period" to include Robin Hood (very early Medieval period - just after the Norman invasion of Eng...

THAT's definitely gonna leave a mark....

Yeah! Morty in an Hawaiian print shirt! Gotta love that image....

Chuck (beeepbeeep!) Jones.

Has it occured to anyone else here that Lily might have been teasing Ben? I got that impression from her expression when she asked about his motives... It sure looked like an unspoken "suuure that's all there is to it..." Seriously, a large part of the fun of Renfaires is the chance to (so to speak...
