The same thing happened when my husband and I saw PF. We liked it so
much that we now use it regularly around the house -- of course, when
we say "I'm gonna get downright medieval on your ass" we probably mean
something a *bit* different than what Marcellus meant!

Teach Mr T
You are teaching about World War II and are talking about how the Germans
were the first to use the teachnique of blitzkrieg.
Then you remember a recent conversation at and event and you find yourself
saying . . . "Well, I have a friend who studies ancient historical
battles, and he says the Romans actually used a tactic like that."
You chuckle to yourself, wondering what His Grace Duke Sir Lucan would say
if he knew you were quoting him in class.

When the following things happen as you serve as Best Man at a

You think of SCA feasts as you offer the happy couple a speech
and toast. To begin the toast, you the attendees to charge
their glasses; to end it, you shout, "Vivat!" three times...
You get away with it, because the is supposed to be a "peasant
wedding," and you're in garb, along with one or two of the

Several guests tell you the speech and toast were wonderful, and
unlike any they'd ever heard. You smile inside, because you've

I have a compounded form of this problem -- when I was a child (okay, for those
of you who know me, a much *smaller* child -- odd to be talking of one's
childhood when such events took place a within the last ten years, but I
suppose it will be odder still when I am a Grown-Up), I was a member of an 18th
century re-enactment group. (And for those of you who may know my folks, Mr. &
Mrs. Stick-In-The-Mud Mundane, no, my parents were not involved in this group
-- this was something I had wanted to do ever since I could remember, and I
decided at the advanced age of ten that I was old enough to try my hand at
re-enactment.)
Anyway, before I leap into another completely irrelevant parenthetical remark
(as, for example, that the sixteenth-century Big Blue Monstrosity that I wear
now because it's SPRING!! includes an eighteenth-century shift and skirt with
the addition of an Irish dress -- sure, it's cheating, but it looks good and
it's machine-washable), I will always at some level equate my experience as an
eighteenth-century milliner with my experience as a sixteenth-century Dane.
So if, perchance, you greet me at an event, and I answer with a cheery "Good
day!" do not look at me as if I had gone mad -- I was *trained* to say that,
honest I was. ;) (And anyway, if I say it quietly enough, it sounds a little
like "Goddag!" which is the same expression, but in Danish ...)

And there could be a special data file so that all we had to do was
input the name of the current King (Prince, Baron, etc.) and the program
would automatically calculate the "personalized" SCA time for how late

Being married, with one child, we've outgrown the *extended* minivan,
and will shortly be shopping for a half-ton crew cab pickup.

nahh ... just the mazda extended cab w/shell (great for the nights when
the camp washes away ... at least i'm dry in the morning) and the utility
trailer (sized to hold the "heavy" gear - the firepit, wood,
charcol, water, camp crates, someday the yurt/ger, and the harley when
necessary) ... only thing lacking so far is a roof rack system to lash on
the overly long items like the spears and camp poles.
all things considered, should have bought that west-german army surplus
unimog (their version of a 2 1/2 tonner ... mercedes diesal, 6x drive,
power take offs, on board compressor and electrical generator, awesome
ground clearance, mega carrying and pulling capacity ...) when i had a
chance ... whould have made a *class* tourney machine

Yeah, but I'll bet the spear made a great looking sissybar on the back

And your station wagon/van has roof racks and you have a trailer

This piqued my interest, and I proceeded to look at all the camping
equipment and baskets in the van in order to see if I knew this guy. I
walked into the business in front of which the van was parked, and I
noticed a whole bunch of people watching me. I had to convince them I was
not "casing" the truck (the owner turned out to be mundane). O tempore, O

Or when you purchase the *new* minivan (3rd generation), you specifically
request the captain (bucket) seats in place of the middle bench because
you travel with adults a lot. (The dealer tried to get us a van
without the captain seats because he thought they were just a perk -
I explained that the captian chairs were a *safety* issue for adults
riding in the back seat).
Plus, they give the kids their own space for long trips.

Long time back, a fellow name of Tivar (now Master Don tivar,
thank-you-very-much!) used to ride his bicycle to swash practice in
Austin, TX. tights, Doublet, cape, and using the rapier to fend off the
neighborhood dogs.
Later, he was engaged by a local repertory company to stage the fight
scenes in a Shakespeare production. After one dress rehearsal he was
loading up the microbus (he was single atthe time), and a fellow comes up
to him and says, "Hey! I've been looking for you for years! You're in
the SCA, right?"
To which Chris replied with a slow, savoring smile,
"No, my good man. I'm in a play."
True story.

and your first thought is,
"uh, lets see, damsel? wench?"
and then you stop short, thinking,
"hm, perhaps those are actually later-period terms"
and *finally* you realize they're looking for a calendar date in the form
of MC__, and you idly muse that you'd be able to do multiplication in
roman numerals if they asked you to, as well.

Same thing happened to one Duke James Greyhelm, formerly of the West, now
living in An Tir. He was instructing for the fight scenes in MacBeth,
when he was loading his weapons in the back of his truck, and someone
asked him if he was in the SCA. He answered the same as your fellow.

I do hope that after he had his fun, he was kind enough to offer this
young man SOME form of information on joining the SCA, even if he wasn't
engaging in an SCA activity at the time.
Courtesy is a good idea ALL the time, even to the mundanes.

<howling with laughter for a few minutes>
This is particularly amusing, as I live within twenty minutes of both a
performing arts center and the Living History folks' Ren Faire. My lady
and I figured out one day that we could have paid for a trip to faire if
we'd gotten a dollar from everyone who asked use "Are you with the
REnaissance faire?" or "Are you in a play?"
With regards to this, here's my first YKYITSCAW...
I have a friend whose AoA goes back to about AS 5 or 6. One time we were
in a Denny's, in garb, and got asked "the question". As it was just
about time for faire to start, I think that was the question. Anyway, he
just nods and says "Yes, we are." As they went off, I looked at him and
said "Don't even bother anymore?" He smiled resignedly and shook his
head. I responded "You know you've been in the SCA for a long time..."
Second one: Coming out of Rob Roy (in garb) you see a poster for
Braveheart, and you and the other stickjocks gather around to critique
the armor...

: To which Chris replied with a slow, savoring smile,
: "No, my good man. I'm in a play."
Some years back, I and some SCA friends got hired on as extras for a
wretchedly bad fantasy flick; the low-budget studio making the film
(which, we later learned, was trying to break out of the porno
market...) wanted extras who would provide their own costumes.
So, during the lunch break, we were sitting around outside when
another friend drove by, and teasingly leaned out the window to yell
"Are you in a play?"
To which we gleefully hollered back, almost in unison, "No! We're in
a movie!"
The film, btw, in case any of you like watching really _bad_ movies
for laughs, is "Lords Of Magick". We were in a tavern scene; we persuaded
the director that the song they'd written for us to sing was absolutely
un-singable, and taught the stars to sing "The Ball Of Carranmore"
(the one in which "4 & 20 virgins come down from Inverness/ and when the
ball was over, there were 4&20 less!") instead.
