Ten Things *Plus1* Learned when Camping!!
1. Never call the person flogging you a wuss!!
2. When getting flogged make sure there is no cameras around!!
3. Never give Plus1 chocolate covered strawberry Loki and expect it back!!
4. Never flash Plus1 expecting a camera not to be present!!
5. When given a shot, just drink it don't ask what it is!!
6. Don't think I won't stare if you expose yourself and are a woman!! :o
7. Don't think I won't point and laugh if you expose yourself and are a man!! :D
8. There is something hypnotic about the sound of 40 generators and a drum beat!!
9. 2 bottles of Loki, 1 bottle of sake and a bottle of rum make for a good nap!!
10. What Happens In the Tent STAYS in the Tent!!
Sounds like a very insightful lesson was learned ;D
I think I learned to not just visit McLotofus, but STAY with McLotofus...oh, and hang out with Plus1.
I have been camping for a looooooong time at TRF and I have been truly having a blast these last 2 years at the Mclotofus camp. So I would always tell people to come camp with Mclotofus because you never know what is gonna happen.
I'll testify to that. :D

Unless you're Fraser, in which case the snoring will escape the tent and be heard six counties away ;D
Is that what woke me up over the generators down in row 12?

Ok, I'm beating myself in the head trying to figure out who this "Plus1" is....

Now Fraser... what on earth would you have had to be pissed off about?!? :o (and I'm fascinated to know why it would affect your snoring...) And a drunken Fraser... damn, sounds like I missed more than just Thanksgiving dinner last weekend... :'(
Ummm... and a
quiet Mouse?!? Somehow that just does not
compute... :P :D

"Plus 1" is my hubby! Last year Lady Jessica and a few others got to calling him that. Because that is how I introduced him and also because I never could get him on the forums.

No it doesn't I've not been on the boards longer than a few days and just meet a few of McLot over the final weekend but, I have known Mouse for over a decade and he can be described in many ways but, quite is not one of them. The nickname comes more form his stature and the constant squeaking. :P
I am not THAT loud! "Judge me by my size you do?" *squeak*
OK, seriously, what night were you at McLotofus cause it definitely isn't Sat night you're talking about. I was there from 8:30 or so until close to 2... and none of the above happened!! There was good music, a few belly dancers, lots of people coming and going all night long, good ribs, and a nice fire. It was a good night, but not some insane sort of flashing craziness!!
... but of course flogging is a big part of pretty much any part of TRF camping experience, especially for the virgins!!!
None the less. Belly Dancers, ribs, fire, flogging. I should have listened to Valt's advice and stayed around a few moment longer Saturday night. Atlas, one of our newbies wanted to do more of the actual walking part of a walkabout as it was their first full night in camp. That what I get for listening to cute blondes.... got to learn to stick with redheads.
What Blue Learned at Faire This Year
1. Any gypsy can be persuaded by free food, Yukon Jack, or Ouzo.
2. When hauling an accordion, multiple rest stops are necessary.
3. Airbeds are tricksy when you need them the most.
4. Patrons laugh when you throw things at them.
5. "Soft, creamy beige" Bailey's is best when you drink it out of a shoe.
6. Late night drunken shower time = HILARITY!
7. Beds are warmer when you cram a bunch of people into them.
8. When hauling the "Booze Backpack o'Doom", everyone is your bestest buddy.
9. Drum circles are welcoming, as long as you can carry a rhythm.
10. Never, EVER, EVAR go into the port o privvy without a proper light and a roll of toilet paper. You will regret it later.
That is quite the list there Blue. Sounds like they were learned the hard way too. lmao

I learned a lot more than that, but it's not at all appropriate for this forum LOLOL!
I like this theme, posting top 10s.... Here are my top ten of fair this year:
1. My new Barbarian claws and "scary eyes" truly are terrifying, even in pics (no wonder we made small children cry!)
2. 30 really is the new 20, and all the 20 yr olds think so too... teehee
3. "Baaaaa" can actually be an affective pick up line!!
4. Chocolate covered bananas taste better with a crowd watching you eat it!
5. Loki is just as good for breakfast as for dinner, and 2nd breakfast, and onesies, and twosies....
6. Singing Happy Birthday in the lanes to friends can not only bring a smile to your friend, but also win you a cameo on facebook videos
7. Wearing chainmail is a truly liberating experience, one all should try!
8. Scotsmen ticklers, foot mirrors, and fans with mirrors can all be used in lue of a true kilt check and cause lots of laughs!!
9. If you've lost a friend and have looked at your tent, the bathrooms, their fav shop, and everywhere else, remember next time to always check the SeaDevil first!!
10. Pirates really are the naughtiest characters!!!

I want to see the pics. Those should be really interesting.
I learned that concerning loki, the more flavours attached to its name, the more interested in it I am going to be. How dare you guys wave that five word long bottle in front of me and not offer the Mouse a nip?!
*ponders brewing seventeen-word-label Loki to see how quickly he can put Mouse into Blotto-ville* ;D
Togatogatoga?

We of McLotofus try to have a good time... and try... and try... and try... and then pass out. I find waking up the hard part but as my clans people can testify, i find a few drags on a bottle Johnnie Walker Black helps revive me.
*we are notorious gluttens for punishment too*
