leavin on tuesday for more of this sort of stuff:

just kidding about the bike jousting thing. way too dangerous.

they use harleys...

You forgot this part:

^^ Yes, that part comes after the "sword-fighting", as they like to call it.

i cannot deny that there are indeed homos there.

we tried to keep them out, but apparently they're period.

That's what we're doing in Colorado tomorrow.

The Faire, not the gay sex.

That would be awkward since my mom is tagging along.

That picture of gay sex aroused me so I must now dress like a celt and bludgeon somebody.

Damn, I just went to a baseball game this weekend. Clearly I need to broaden my horizons.

Guess I should've seen the White Sox instead of the Orioles and Yankees...

Every time I drive past a park with people jumping around with swords, spears and the like it really makes me want to fight.  I just don't fucking understand. And if you don't understand something you need to become violent towards it.

sounds like you need to hit someone with a sword.....

and rest assured this is NOT the live action role playing turds running around with their foam swords and 'fireball spell' beanbags.

this is highly regulated, full contact armored combat. definitely not for the meek.

If no one dies, then it's not real.

So you basically just hit each other senseless? We do that here too. Only without the armour.

sweet. you should try it sometime. its not real. no one dies of anything but heatstroke. and maybe extreme hangovers. but this has not been medically proven.

T-minus 22 hours to go.

There will be pictures.

I feel that way, too. So I usually just drive over the curb and then run them down with my SUV +3 vs. SCA Dorks. Last time I got a midget stuck in one of my skid plates and the car wash didn't get it off. So when I got home I had to pry it out with a screwdriver. Ewwwww!

It'd look like this.

I went to the Colorado Renaissance Festival and came home with this jollie olde customme Bowie knife.

I shall sticke a poniard in the codpiece of a motherfucker!

This knife is correct for the Colorado Renaissance.

had to pop back into town to work tonight.

it has been a booby filled war so far. there will be a NSFW thread to celebrate this.

god i'm hungover....

I...ahh...thought we were gonna be getting some boobie pictures from this trip?

Perhaps he died in battle? Perhaps.

hot bi ren slut orgy

The second picture is not only hilarious but it has the watermarked letters 'SC' in the top right hand corner.

this particular war sucked for so many reasons they can't all be listed here. suffice to say after 20 years of doing this damn thing, i'm done for a few years at least.

although i did buy a very nice sword from Badger Blades which i'll post a pic of whenever i get around to it

We almost got something from Badger Blades, but we were on a budget this year. Next year I plan to have something to fight the zombie horde.

badgers are great blades. for some of the ren faires they work they buy an old washer or dryer and let you hack the living shit out of it with one of their swords. it doesn't even scratch the blades....

Just like they did back in medieval times!

And you yell TRICK 'R STAB!!
