I don't know mate, but I'd like to shrug off that shackle and don my armour asap.<br /><br />Ali- Ahhh the good ol' medieval feast. We had one of those in high school I think. Good times indeed. I like the random grouping of anything vaguely 'ancient'..togas, sandles, cloaks, swords, viking helmets.. all together at last.<br /><br />Ahhh yes, the Medieval madness and monstrosities of the Inner West...Ben McLaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06921603204606787363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085574906114899399.post-48228295654276046902012-07-24T16:37:35.007+10:002012-07-24T16:37:35.007+10:00Or should that be tight rope ...Or should that be tight rope ...Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860216271350147224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085574906114899399.post-5350172876220084162012-07-24T16:33:07.011+10:002012-07-24T16:33:07.011+10:00We did plenty of medieval re-enactment in my youth...We did plenty of medieval re-enactment in my youth-group days. I have been to a cutlery-free medieval feast dressed in sack-cloth (the ugg-boots maybe didn't quite cut it) once and made a right disgusting wench of myself gnawing on hunks of some pit-roasted something. Good times.<br /><br />The weirdest people in this country hang out near where I live, and I too have seen this in parks. The other day a guy had a fancy looking tape strung up between two trees and was trying to type-rope walk it.
