Renaissance Faires. Good time for young & old, or just an excuse for wankers to gather in the park?

Poll question: Renaissance Faires. Good time for young & old, or just an excuse for wankers to gather in the park?

1. Other, Cleavage - orama

5. LOL, very true

Somewhere I have a picture of me dressed as a peasant woman for a Renaissance fair. Me and my D cups...LOL, even I was surprised at how much the costumes add....:evilgrin:

2. depends on your attitude, I would suppose and of course the mead.

3. I like them.

It was the guy offering Shakespearean insults for a quarter that got me.

[gratuitous]

4. If Patton Oswalt's there, a good time is guaranteed

Otherwise, it's probably not my cup of . . . runnymede?

[Curmudgeoness]

6. Other, I enjoy going to see all the wankers in the park.

But I am not going to all the trouble of dressing up myself. Or my cat.

[GoneOffShore]

7. All depends on the Faire

Some are good, some are full of wankers.

8. Well, They're "tossers" rather than "wankers"

but other than that. Yeah, get the fuck out of my park before I take your sillyboy sword from you and break it over your lumpy noggin, Sir Virgin LaMeass.

The only thing I'd ever want to see at a Ren Faire is "Epic Cage Death Match Melee: Ren Faire Weenies versus SCAdians." Of course, that only works if you break time-period and gun down the victors with a Browning machine gun.

Afterwards, we can go to Medieval Times and root for the wrong knight for our section.

9. Odds bodikins if they oughtn't all be castaway in the Firth of Forsooth

[Mopar151]

10. How can you not dig the Mud Show?

or the ladies who "dress to impress"?

[Codeine]

11. I remember the RenFair here in southern California.

It was just a sea of sweaty, heaving, barely contained bosoms. Heaven, really.

[PaddyBlueEyes]

17. I never thought I would say this...

but I hope to someday find myself trapped between Havoc and Chaos...

[RadiationTherapy]

12. Ren Faires are lame but THAT is Patton Oswalt.

One of the greatest in today's comedy scene and a legend in the making.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

13. I know...I posted that deliberately.

He's probably the single greatest all-time guest star on "Reno 911."

[Orsino]

14. Wankers gathering in the park is a good time for young and old. n/t

15. The RennFest in Magnolia, TX, is fun. NW of Houston.

Lots of fun.

At the one in Magnolia, TX, I remember the guy who was doing a headstand on a board he held on both ends, which was on top of a cylinder rolling around on another board. And he admitted he had a physics degree!!!

Practical applications of physics! :rofl:

I wore my african skirt and jacket. Pink and black with stylized snakes on it.

[Rambis]

16. Good excuse for two things

[NewJeffCT]

18. Believe it or not, I've never been to one

but, I have no problem at all with them - think they're probably fun.

I've never been to an RPG gaming convention, either.

20. Take it from me: Don't do acid at a RenFaire

In Riverside, CA. When it's really, really hot.
