A friend of mine worked the MD Festival for a few years in the role of a German mercenary guard. A lady member of the "police" pointed out that his doublet was Italian and he was German. He told her he got it from an Italian while he was in Rome, because its former owner "didn't need it anymore."

I remember the last Ren Faire I attended. It was a Sunday afternoon, things were shutting down and you could tell many of the people working it were pretty tired.

We were at one of the food vendors, when I overheard some guy telling one of the girls working the stand, "Hey, there's ice in this drink. I thought they didn't have ice back then."

The girl - in an extremely bored, sarcastic voice answered: "Good my lord, This is brought down from the mountain top by the mystic dwarves - I know not the magic they use to make these tiny frozen cubes. Now do you want the Coke, or not?"

Completely cracked me up!

Todd, I don't think you were out of line!

I think you're in the front line!

NP, I enjoy your input on these issues.

I recall a similar incident at the PA Renn Faire.

The queen was making her entrance, so of course all the actors and many of the spectators were bowing at her approach. One of the peasant actors noticed a 20-something young man not bowing.

"Sir, you must bow. The queen is coming."

"I don't bow to any queen. I'm an American."

"A what sir?"

"An American."

"Oh, you're from the colonies." (Actually, that is anachronistic, as Virginia wasn't settled until 1607, after Elizabeth had died.)

Pulling out a dollar bill. "No, an American. See!"

"Ah, an English pound."

"No, it says right here, United States of America."

"I'm sorry, sir, but I cannot read."


That cracked me up.

My lady and I went to the Great Lakes Ren faire and had a great time .....
..... Some guy told me that my shirt wasn't "historically" acurate.

The Faire's are terrific fun. Ever notice how there are sooo many experts and information spouts, and sooo few of them that haven't a clue as to what they're talking about nor whom it is they're talking to? Imagine some of those folks asking qestions and sharing their need-to-know curious interests before shedding so much light upon their own vacancy of facts.
It is a delight to meet people with questions and accurate info and fun experiences to talk about.
