So, some of you may have heard of a little list that's been circulating around. The things Skippy is no longer allowed to do in the military? In essence, it's a list of things the man in questions has either a) done, b)seen happen, c) was informed he wasn't allowed to do, d)a clarification of the above, or e)just kind of happened.
For said list, see here
http://skippyslist.com/list/ (http://skippyslist.com/list/)
What I propose to start here is the list of thing we're no longer allowed to do at a Renaissance Festival. Feel free to give as much or as little explanation for specific events as you need. Some of my own:
1)Not allowed to try and see how many Royals we can fit in a port-a-john
2)Must remind female patrons of the color of their shirts when attempting to recruit them to play Dueling Buckets.
3)I cannot do anybodies role better then them, even if I can.
4)Fifty inflatable (adult rated) sheep are not considered an appropriate coronation gift for the King of Scotland.
4.5)Especially not if I have access to a helium tank.
5) I can no longer pass around pictures of womans ankles to pass off as period pornogrophy.
6) Writing "Hi. -God" on a piece of wood is NOT a sign from God.
7) I am not allowed to encourage the audience in changing the script of a stage show, no matter how funny it might be, even if the performers approve.
8) It doesn't matter of Jenny Breeden did it, leaf blowers are not allowed on faire site during hours.
Go wild!
*snortgiggle*
Gotta show that to the hubby, that's his nickname! ;D
8. Shall NOT polish armored boots to a mirror-like shine to see up ladies dresses.
9. shall not polish ladies' shoes in the same manner, to see up men's kilts!
I may not distribute small bottles of Bacardi rum to cast members, vendors, or the serious playtrons I see week after week.
Distributing them with my own label taped to the bottle bearing a cartoon caricature of me, clearly identifying myself as the source, probably isn't a good idea, even if it's funny.
Never drop one right in front of a security guard.
(A few members of this forum recieved these from me. ;))
Shall not incite the pre-opening crowd to storm the gates before the opening cannon fires.
Not allowed to fall into the Queen's procession and begin loudly calling "Privy parade!"
Shall NOT setup cast member pirates, for my own laughs, who have scripted paytron interaction sketches...by carrying a small treasure chest with a rubber buttocks inside...and opening and displaying it when they say they want my "booty".
Not allowed to insert new lines into "ball of ballimore". Even if it helps out the performers who "accidentally" left themselves off. Even if they thought it was funny too.
Not allowed to... but still gonna!
*still allowed to hand out my samples of rum though. I doubt they could stop me really lol.*
No longer allowed to show fellow cast members my son's blue ribbon. In reality, said child was an anatomically correct cabbage patch doll in a shirt and kilt, and blue ribbon.
Dayna
No longer allowed to use Yon Kilt Lifting Stick on pretzel sellers.
No, not even the mirrored end.
NO, not even a "little."
Still allowed, however, to carry it 'round with the sign reading "Smile if thou art not wearing any undergarments."
....NO, not even if they -do- smile.
Shall not take liberties with other women's playtoys.
Shall not forget to wear skivvies if I'm gonna be lifting my skirts.
Shall not chase down the "mustard man".
Shall not pop pills at Queen's Tea.
Shall not force loki on the unwilling, unless they just REALLY need to get drunk.
I shall not make a sign with the words "Free GRAB" and a picture of some pants and shirts on it...and then grope the ladies who come over wanting free garb but just thought I was bad at spelling.
Also I shall not use the excuse that "it DOES say FREE GRAB!".
Regards,
CB
Skippy (or Skipette) shall not pinch the bum of attractive men in tights because "They were asking for it."
I shall not take the fact that the man wore the kilt in the first place as an open invitation for kilt checking.
Skippy shall not deflower the nobles in public...(right Biggerstaff?) ;D
Skippy may no longer approach the uniformed security and invite them to a reciprocal pat search.
/dangnubbit...
Skippy is no longer allowed to commandeer a stage with his brothers for the purpose of picture-taking whilest the next act is hawking the crowd.
Not allowed to pull the wings off of Fairies...
...man do they get mad.
I've been good ;D ;D
well i did call the village idiot Lose but someone did let him off the tree
No unsolicited "motorboating"!
I am TOLD that Skippy is no longer allowed to mudwrestle at Faire, either...
I didn't mention this one in my first post because I have to admit to a crime, but I really don't care anymore.
Skippy may not give one of the aforementioned small bottles of Bacardi to a person he knows to be under the age of 21, even if the recipient is a Marine who just got back from Iraq.
Skippy is also not allowed to buy that Marine a beer in the pub and deliver it to him. :-X
Skippy may no longer offer to help warm up belly dancer's ching-chings on cool days, even if they obviously need it.
Synikul,
I spent 12 yrs in the ARMY, and the real crime is in NOT allowing those who risk their lives for our freedom to enjoy in its simple pleasures.
I applaud your discretion. I too, have committed the same crime...
Well done!
So very sad...my renn behavior is so much better then my military behavior....I could add a ton to the original Skippy list LOL
Skippy is no longer allowed to bring home unauthorized souvenirs from faire.
Especially if Skippy still lives at home and is expecting the unauthorized souvenir to be allowed to share his/her bedroom.
So no unauthorized souveniers that breath, or should be breathing.
Skippy shall not shout insults back at the 'pelt a pirate', especially if it make him break character ;)
Not allowed to taunt the french... no matter how far away I can smell them
*still allowed to see how much rum I can get into the gate with...*
..not allowed to sing "BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER with the Germans anymore.
Hey...I was only a *little* off key. :'(
deflower a flower in front of mundanes and children at faire.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6MJmNV8AyY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6MJmNV8AyY)
Some more I have remembered:
The petting Zoo is no longer to be referred to as "The Scottish Brothel" in front of patrons.
The rabbits names are not "Stew, Lunch, and Dinner."
The goat does not want some mead, no matter how much it looks like he does.
There is not "good eating" on anyones children.
I cannot walk around faire with a steering wheel in my pants.
Skippy is not allowed to make period-incorrect jokes about the results of a Google search on French Military Victories
Skippy is no longer allowed to scream "GOD! SHAVE THE QUEEN!" during the parade, no matter how drunk Skippy may be.
Skippy is NOT allowed to excuse himself when talking to the mundanes by saying, 'Excuse me, but I have to see a wench about making a baby.' ::)
Yep, he did.
Use that excuse.
Not....never mind. :-[
Skippy is no longer allowed to march members of the Starfleet Away Team over to a group of lovely wenches and ask them to "Please fix this!"
Skippy is not allowed to

Skippy must be ever mindful of appearances when he wears tights with a shirt that tends to ride up in the front because its the only one that was clean.

I shall not advise the Queen, ion my capacity as diplomat, that unless payment of 5'000 sovereigns is tendered within 3 days, the Norwegian fleet will disrupt trade in the English channel.

Skippy should never, ever give the Queen a very small whip (nipple whip) and then show her how to use it on the King...very bad Skippy!
I'm writing all these down btw.
-Even though The Swordsmen sing "Your kind donations will keep us out of your hooooome," Skippy is not allowed to ask them "If I donate, it will keep you out of my home, yes?" And when Skippy gets the affirmative, Skippy may not reply "So, if I -take- your donations, does that mean you will come TO my home?"
-Skippy is no longer permitted to run from a crowd of kilted men screaming "The Scots are coming, the Scots are coming! DEAR GOD, HIDE YOUR SHEEP! THE SCOTS ARE COMING!" ...Even if it -does- make the Queen laugh. ESPECIALLY if it makes the Queen laugh so hard she snorts. (This comes from a friend at a different Faire, not myself.)
-Skippy is no longer allowed to use her hands to "size up" potential crew members for her make-believe ship...The Nutty Royale.
-Skippy is no longer allowed to talk about the Mud Monsters that live in the mud and steal all cheese...especially if this causes a cast member to flail about in the mud frantically, trying to retrieve said cheese.
-Skippy is no longer allowed to give candy to the trolls lurking under the bridge. (In this case, a friend was Skippy, and I was the one screaming "How many times do I have to tell you not to give candy to strangers?!")
-Skippy is no longer allowed to respond to the question "Does your lady need a rose for those?" with "Do you need a hat for that?"
I am no longer allowed to talk about King Richard like he was George Bush in order to drum up support for Prince John.
(C'mon, Richard? He got us into that war in the middle east we can't get out of. Sure, bring the word of god to the heathens, but when are the troops gonna come home?)
No asking girls in schoolgirl outfits (plaid pleated skirts) what clan they are, it only confuses them.
Can no longer ask the beggar if he would knock off the banging of pans if a generous donation was made. Heat, hat, headache, godawful noise do not a happy Skippy make.

Must remember to drop a 20 in Scratch's pan when Taffy is around...
Unfortunately, Scratch said last season that it was his last- he's retiring.
Gonna miss that guy! :'(

I have a friend that actually dropped a $100.00 into Scratch's pan one season. The following year I saw Scratch at Scarby and as I approached, I pulled out my cash (had a couple of $100's) and Scratch recognized me from that time with my friend and just started shaking his head "NO" and then I dropped a $20.00 into his pan.. LOL
Gordo might be retiring Scratch full time, but I'll bet he shows up ocassionally to beat himself stupid.
I hope so!
Skippy is no longer allowed to:
1. give the cheap scotch drinking Baron good rum. this decried by the Baroness.... Amazing what 80 proof rum does to a persons 40 proof scotch system.....
2. Walk up to unsuspecting patrons and ask if he can get a picture with them (instead of the other way around). <-- yeah so that goes into effected after MNRF opening weekend....lol...
Skippy is no longer allowed to casually drift in with a group of goth kids, grungy pirates, or similar, and start humming, 'I Feel Pretty.'

Skippy will not sneak out of the Louisville Swamp behind MNRF and enter the "Secret Garden" dressed as Swamp Thing.
He will not steal one of the earth moving machines from the gravel pit next to MNRF and try to park in the handicapped parking section -even if he does have a handicapped parking tag.
OMG! Those are too funny! ;D
Will not wear a Tyvek suit labeled "Homeland Security" and chase the "Wacky Chickens" with a garden sprayer full of water and labeled Bird Flu disinfectant.
(They got me back with a pie in the face for that one...)
Will not present a egg dyed "robin's egg blue" to the "chicken man" of the Wacky Chickens and accuse his hen of having an affair...
Will never again the cover the stage used by the Wacky Chickens with Peeps...
Oh man....I think I married Skippy....

Stumble out of a port a john and grab passing patrons to tell them that they have to prepare for the coming of the daleks.
Hang out in the privies opening various doors going "Is it this one? Damn." repeatedly.

I want to party with you. Do you ever make to ORF, GLMF, or TnRF? I have a feeling that anyone who takes the name "sealclubber" will share my sense of humor. ;D
Just out of curiosity, sealclubber, are you by chance on KoL?
I visited ORF last year, wasn't impressed enough to make a return visit. I spend all my faire time at the Michigan faires.
I do indeed play KOL, but that's not where I got the name from. My wife ran a daycare in home, and there was this little baby seal stuffed animal that i appropriated, to tie on my belt. I used a bunch of bad puns with it (of approval, royal, all weather) and using it as 'Slappy, my Seal Club' and it just grew from there.

I've even seen yellow. A sunny color for a dirty business.
Not allowed to join the rear of any procession while singing "OH EE OH, YO OH" even if the rear half of the procession has joined in by the time we all reach the front gate.
Somewhere I heard that they are actually saying "Oh we love the old one." I can't remember where it was, though, so I can't verify that. Off to go check IMDB, though.
EDIT:
Copy-paste from IMDB:
There are many alleged lyrics to the "Winkie Chant" performed by the Witch's guards, including "All we own, we owe her", "Oh we love the old one", and "Oh we loathe the old one". However, the correct version, seen in the film's screenplay, is "O-Ee-Yah! Eoh-Ah!" and any other interpretations are simply the result of the listener's mind treating the chant as an audio ink blot.
Okay then, nevermind. ;D
And I always thought it was the OREO song! :-[

No, not even the third party ones.

at home, in between faires Skippy is no longer allowed to turn the TV off, and then back on...repeatedly... just because it scares the poop out of the Golden Retriever.

In the same vein, "at home, in between faires (or faire weekends...)" Skippy is no longer allowed to put on Ren music as loud as Skippy can manage and dance with the mop when cleaning the kitchen, singing in a not-so harmonious manner....just because it freaks the meter-reader out a little.
>.>
Alas! I have never met anyone at faire named Skippy. Is he cute? Single? Perhaps we must meet at faire and he can teach me a thing or two?- Or vise versa? Wink!
Good Queen Bonnie know you that I will be keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best for you that Skippy will turn out to be the wizard that you have been long looking for.

Rickrolling is for the internet, not the middle of Greensleaves.
Skippy is not allowed to walk behind a procession of monks singing.

Unfortunately, Scratch said last season that it was his last- he's retiring.
Gonna miss that guy! :'(
That's what I heard, but yet he's here now at the MNRF doing both of his characters.
I have done that...... ::)
Just call me Skippy

Yep- he told me that he is pretty much branching out in areas outside of fest but will still do MNRF as it is his home faire. Now we can taunt other faires that we still have him and they don't.
;D
Skippy is not allowed to fall on her backside at Pub sing ever again! (Damn sand makes it slippery to do an Irish high kick, especially when wearing a hoop!)
Yikes, hope whoever fell didn't hurt anything. And if, Your Grace, that fallee was you, can't you just command that it never really happened?
dem, where's the video when we need it?
Escarlata, If only it were so easy, as I was "on stage" in front of the pub sing audience dancing with Liz. I have no doubt someone caught it on film! I started laughing so hard when I landed that I fell over on my back!

Wow. It actually only needs a little bit of fudging for Never Gonna Give You Up to scan to the melody of Greensleeves.
AWESOME!!!!

I've been known to carry around a length of rope that has one end tied to my waist. You see, I must be kept on a leash because I am not yet house trained- it's just that no one said who had to be HOLDING the leash.
Skippy is my middle name.
skippy is no longer allowed to "go swimming" in a toxic waste "pool" with the geese in birthday suit
skippy can't use children for "rat pucking"

I may not distribute small bottles of Bacardi rum to cast members, vendors, or the serious playtrons I see week after week.
Distributing them with my own label taped to the bottle bearing a cartoon caricature of me, clearly identifying myself as the source, probably isn't a good idea, even if it's funny.
Never drop one right in front of a security guard.
(A few members of this forum recieved these from me. ;))
I have one! I kept the bottle ;D
Skippy must restrain himself from adding a colorful metaphor at the end of the statement when I say "Knock it off." to a drunk female patron when she tries to pull my wings off because she thinks I'm a statue. It's my own fault. :)
Skippy is no longer allowed to buy cheap swords from obnoxious vendors and chop them in half with his expensive one in front of their booth to prove a point. :D

Wait, chop the sword in half, or the vendor? :D
We will let your imagination decide. ;)
Skippy is no longer allowed to suggest that patrons in her shop "come in, play dress up, braid each other's hair, talk about boys, and practice kissing".
Skippy is not allowed to dress cabbage patch kids in altar boy outfits, and offer them to anyone dressed in a preistly garb.
Sounds like my old schtick, I had a cabbage patch child in a suit of chain mail, and then branched out into "theme babies", a scotsman with kilt and blue ribbon, an archer in lincoln green with bow and quiver, a friar in a cistercian habit, a cavalier, a dancer in seven layers of cabbage leaves, etc.
I still have people who ask me what ever happened to the cabbage patch knight, wish I knew...

I am TOLD that Skippy is no longer allowed to mudwrestle at Faire, either...
That will be enough from
you........ ;D
skippy will not ask kids who say trick or treat... for tricks....
skippy will not trade candy with children or steal candy from them
Just because I know all the words to 'eskimo Nell' does not give me permission to sing it.
...Especially while near/in the Childrens Realm.
.......And a singalong is right out.

What's the point? That you think they're obnoxious and their wares are cheap but hey...you'll buy one anyway?

Though not allowed to SUGGEST it, are we still allowed to do it? ;)

I shall not take the fact that the man wore the kilt in the first place as an open invitation for kilt checking.
...but it is, isn't it? I always meant it that way!
Skippy is not longer allowed to walk up to Scots and ask "Is that a sgain dubh in your sporran, or are you just happy to see me?" Because one way or another, Skippy may get stabbed...
I've just finished reading the original from the first post (here (http://skippyslist.com/list/) if you don't want to wander back to the beginning).
I think these should be added to our list, especially in regard to opening tailgate, which is coming soon to a Faire near you!
124. Two drink limit does not mean first and last.
125. Two drink limit does not mean two kinds of drinks.
126. Two drink limit does not mean the drinks can be as large as I like.
127. "No Drinking Of Alcoholic Beverages" does not imply that a Jack Daniel's ® IV is acceptable.

Way back when, I knew an Army Captain who had a 1 liter beer stein. When drinking from it, he would never empty it but alway fill it up again. That way, when he went home he could tell his wife, "But Honey, I only had one.".

Now that I think about it, I may be directly related to Skippy.
Present the performers with gifts that may annoy the directors of the faire.
Again I would like to apologize to the directors of the Carolina renaissance festival. I had no idea that jimmy would throw the rickroll grenade into your meeting. I humbly ask your forgiveness and to please be allowed to visit the faire next year.
Skippy shall not serve Irish Coffee to performers on cold mornings....

What about random passers by?
Skippy will not tell the kids visiting the mermaids to ask them to "show me your crabs"
Feed new playtrons-to-be the drink I created known as The Bloody Knight and declare it a "right of passage" and laugh after one of them renders them useless.
Will not challenge visiting locals to a "mead drinking contest".
Will not cause the adult pub sing to become incredibly loud and to run over by 15 minutes, thus rendering a noise complaint from parking lot security that they could hear the shout out from Donnegal Express at the main pub" to be filed and the resident pirate band be scolded... two weeks in a row.
Will not follow the kids pull along pirate ship asking the "helmsman" if it is the Good Ship Venus.
Will not accidentally refer to cast by their real names
Will not call bluff of the mud show people about jumping into the pit.
Will not bring many of my friends who fall into the "Tight nit and possibly drunk" category to the joust and pick the "barbaric" group and become loud for our team.
And most IMPORTANTLY:
Will not challenge the Trebuchet Marshmallow guy to proove the accuracy of his siege weapons by firing into corsets and cheering as he sinks shot after shot.... (those are some ACCURATE trebuchets)
Will not follow fairies around with a staff that looks like a giant pin, mumbling about needing to finish his bug collection.
