Freaking the mundanes

[LadyElizabeth]

Oh how hilarious!!  I think pirates are becoming more "Cool" these days, how great that those guys were wanting to even interact with you at a restaurant!! 

[FortuneRose]

I am sick as can be right now and thank goodness for these encounters making me giggle...  brightening my day a bit

[DragonWing]

FortuneRose, sorry to hear your sick. Hope you get well soon.

Wife and I were leaving Hawkwood late at night and we got pulled over for a headlight out.  When asked to provide my license, I informed the officer that my wallet was in my pouch in the trunk.  I stepped out of the car and the officer said, "Whoa!" at my kilt.  As I opened the trunk, he slammed it shut and asked, "Do you have any weapons in there?"  I replied that I did not.  Opening the trunk again revealed the Bat'leth my wife just bought for me.  The officer stared but said nothing as I handed over my License.

No ticket, no questions, just an admonition to fix my headlight.

The King in a kilt, huh?  Well very fun... Glad you got off!!

For my seventeenth birthday my dad and I went to Scarby. It was the first time to wear garb for the both of us, mom refused to wear garb so she wasn't invited, same with my little brother. For dinner that evening we went to Medieval times. AFTER the show, this rather large group of mundanes saw us and got all excited and were like "hey, can we take a picture witchu?" We did. Turns out they thought we were in the show...

Were you in a full Scottish outfit, or in a hybrid Trek-Scottish outfit?   

(I remember seeing you as a Trek character at Hawkwood, lo those many years ago.)

Generic kilt and black shirt.
I THINK I only did Original Trek once and hybrid Trek-Scottish once, both at Hawkwood.

I'm not sure this counts, but my twin and I very regularly freak out mundanes AT renaissance festivals when we're in our fairy garb...  We do some of the silliest stuff that most of the time people think we're insane!! 

For instance, Oops made up a game of "Mr. Obvious Finger" where she had a hole in her parasol and she stuck her finger through and used a male britsh accent for her new character.  She and I bantered back and forth and decided to stop and do our little "show" for 3 teenagers sitting under a tree.  They just looked at us like we were on drugs or were aliens or something, they were completely dumbfounded and had nothing to say... But as we walked away they started laughing hysterically.  I'm quite sure they were laughing at us and not with us!!  And then there's the game of "Hi" and "Bye" that never gets old... for us anyhow, though most people stop repeating the words after about 2 times...

We had a blast at an Italian Restaurant recently. They seated the four of us in the middle of the diniing room and moved the other tables away from our overflowing skirts.
Someone passing mumbled a comment about a man and panty hose and after scanning the room around us we all cracked up when we realized that they were referring to his Excellency Don Juan.
We're so used to seeing him in his slops that we forgot he was wearing tights!
