| Posted By: Dragonmaster Posted On: Aug 16, 2004 Views: 1428 | Of Topic..... I'm probably not going to post here for the next four days. There is a United Way dinner thursday that I'm helping with. Four days of 12/16 hour shifts, yay. So.........What sports would you like to see added to the Olympics? |

| Posted By: dragonmaster Posted On: Aug 16, 2004 Views: 1413 | RE: Of Topic..... Fencing has real stabbing. Thats not fencing that they practice at the olympics, thats hitting each other with a large guage length of wire. They should fence like your suposed to, using a 25lb. broadsword, now that takes endurence and strength. Anybody can put on one of those cloth suits and use a staightend hanger, very few people have what it takes to put on a 50/100lb. chain mail suit and use a 25lb. sword. |
| Posted By: Syrgot Posted On: Aug 16, 2004 Views: 1405 | RE: Of Topic..... Yeah... that'd be awesome. |
| Posted By: DA Posted On: Aug 16, 2004 Views: 1403 | RE: Of Topic..... Yeah, broadsword fighting.... that would not be the Olympics. That'd be a Renaissance Fair or Faire. Happens every weekend somewhere. |
| Posted By: dragonmaster Posted On: Aug 16, 2004 Views: 1385 | RE: Of Topic..... With fake swords, i hate going to those things. Nothing but pussies. The ones around here have nothing to do with the history, just drinking and BBQ's. It sucks. |
| Posted By: dragonmaster Posted On: Aug 16, 2004 Views: 1378 | RE: Of Topic..... wait.....not that either of those things suck, but if thats all your going to do at these fairs..... |
| Posted By: Novinha Posted On: Aug 16, 2004 Views: 1359 | RE: Of Topic..... I agree with sneaky. Unicycling would rock my socks off. OH OH and you haveto be dressed like a clown and race to 80s techno!! |
| Posted By: Dragonmaster Posted On: Aug 17, 2004 Views: 1341 | RE: Of Topic..... That would be funny, but why the 80's tech? |
| Posted By: skuzzy Posted On: Aug 17, 2004 Views: 1317 | RE: Of Topic..... i figured you for ren Faire fan. who'd thunk... i can just picture you with eating a turkey leg gawking the fat bar wenches |
| Posted By: Dragonmaster Posted On: Aug 17, 2004 Views: 1315 | RE: Of Topic..... na, I'm into the history of it. Those fairs arent anything like the way it was. |
| Posted By: ted nugent Posted On: Aug 17, 2004 Views: 1305 | RE: Of Topic..... so what was it like back then, dragonmaster? tell us the story. i'm half mocking, half really curious. don't take offense. :) i personally think they'd be more renaissance-esque if you could shoot the squirrels/birds yourself with a bow, or crossbow and marinade them with weeds and **** before you cook it over a woodburning flame. |
| Posted By: Dragonmaster Posted On: Aug 18, 2004 Views: 1153 | RE: Of Topic..... how much do you want me to post here? It's quite a lot of material. If you had questions about sertain people or events then that would help cut it down. |
| Posted By: Syrgot Posted On: Aug 18, 2004 Views: 1148 | RE: Of Topic..... Wait...are you under the assumption that you are a reincarnate from someone from the renaisance, dragonmaster? |
| Posted By: Dragonmaster Posted On: Aug 18, 2004 Views: 1143 | RE: Of Topic..... Na. I always felt that I was born in the wrong time period, so i study them so i can find out which one i should have been born in. God screwed up putting me in this one. So far as I can tell thats the one that most closly matches me. anyway, i'm most likely crasy or something but I don't care. i shouldent be here. I don't know how to explain it. I know things that I shoudent know, about people and places that I havent seen or heard of. Most of the places I remember arent called by that name anymore, and havent been in a long time. It's like a bad movie. i understand life sucks and I'm doing the best i can though. |
