You're answer when someone says "You just drank a bug." is "Just more protein".
Steak is a finger food. (the rarer the better)
If it's served on a stick, you'll probably eat it.

-Husband asks what you would like for your anniversary and you say a leather mug.

-You have a glow about you and they know it's because you're going to a faire.

-You got your sister thinking of becoming a rennie. She wants you to come up for a pirates fest to help with garb.

A fly lands in your rum and instead of tossing out the bug, or the rum, you grab the bug up by his little wings and start shaking him screaming, "Cough it all up you little bugger!!! Give it back!!!"

You think anything less than waist-length hair is short - on men and women.

...you walk through a casino in garb and the employees ask you what time is your show.

...you are told by other tourist in a hotel that your garb looks better than the employees after telling them you don't work there.

-you posess a variety of random talents because you "picked it up at faire" and enjoy showing then off at oppertune moments in the real world

-every time you walk byt the outdoor fire pit at you favorite ski resort the smell of the fuel reminds you of your friend who is a fire master and you spend a few moments inhaling and reminiscing about faire

-you made a sheep joke when discussing a friends last name of McLeod (saddly no one got it)

[Rahne]

you would rather listen to the Cd's you just picked up at faire than anything else on the radio in your


your 4 year old knows the words to most of the songs on those Cd's and begs you to play that one again Mommy ( absolutely love health to the company and pounds on the car console at the appropriate spot)

you walk around work humming or singing faire songs, and none of your coworkers find it odd.


you gather up all of the broken gold chains you have in your jewelry box because you noticed that the jewelery store in town is buying gold.  You plan to sell it so you can put the money toward the sword you've been looking at the last 3 weeks at faire.

You have extra garb to lend your friends when you invite them to faire last minute.

Season passes to the faire are on your Christmas gift list for yourself and your spouse every year.

You buy your friends tickets to the faire for Christmas, and so that they don't have any excuse not to go you also make them garb.

People at work call you first every time their kid/niece/nephew/neighbor, etc. needs garb for a school/church/camp, etc. project.  Either to borrow said garb or for suggestions on how to put it together and/or make it.

Your son brings a new friend over and you admonish them that they're not to play with any of the swords.

When coworkers ask you why you don't wear garb to work on Hallow e'en you tell them 2 things...

#1.) A financial institution IS NOT ready for *that* much cleavage.

#2.) I don't wear my garb so everyone else has a chance to win the costume contest  (plus, I like to sit)

[Adriana Rose]

You have sung your child to sleep with one of your favorite pub sing song...


You attend another fair and hear stories of how some one snuck  your son away from the babysitter just to get a rise out of her... No wonder the poor thing looked frazzled a few days when she dropped him off..

[BubbleWright]

...in a Mundane situation that requires you to say "Thank You" , you say "Thank Thee". I did that to a cashier yesterday and, did I ever get a strange look!
