7: A tall mast also makes for an interesting sight when Whiskey Boy is standing atop two pirates' shoulders in a KILT whilst trying to affix the Lanterns on said Mast! lol. Beware all ye down below...there's a Scottsman overhead!



I think I'll go stand over at POW. Tell me when it's safe.


Do you want to tell her that there's only one T in "Scotsman" or should I?  ;)  Well, if  they were from clan Scott it would be different.... ;D

I was just trying not to look at all. I didn't even notice the typos.

Lol gee whiz Fraser, thanks! ;) Actually I always wondered what was the correct spelling. It's sad, really; I'm a spelling bee champ and the residential Grammar Nazi at my office and among most of my friends, yet here I am messing up like this! I'm a bit on the embarrassed side..but luckily there's RUM to fix that!! lol. And, actually, James isn't entirely sure what clan(s) he's traced to, so maybe he is a Clan Scott!? :D

W00t!! That makes me one happy Juju! Thanks mucho Frasie! I'm glad to have seen several of my Fairemily sporting the Snarfs..James and I put a lot of work into them, and, despite their design flaws, are proud of our first faire favors :) If yours or anyone's Snarfs are falling apart, come see us; we'll have a new, hopefully more-sturdy batch of fluffy cutenesses to give out this weekend! :)

1. Battery-heated socks and silk thermals are worth every. single. penny.
2. Just when you think you have all the garb you'll ever need....
3. Safety pins and spare laces are your friends.Same applies to backup garb pieces.
4. There's nothing like a fresh change of underpinnings after a brutally hot day to change your whole outlook on life.
5. Dress in layers; it's possible to freeze and roast in the same day.
6. Rennies sun themselves like lizards on chilly days.
7. Put sunscreen where the sun don't shine, 'cause it do.
8. Take my own advice, see #7.
9. It is possible for someone to be so oblivious that they blunder into the arse-end of a 6-foot tall, 1800-pound live horse.
10. Just when you think you've seen everything...now and then, someone shows up than make even rennies say "Damn - WTF?"

If the temp is anywhere below 65 folks will ask you if you're cold in your kilt!?!

Memory foam pillows turn into rocks in cold weather.

No matter how many layers of blankets/sleeping bags/clothes you have under you, over you, and on you, its still extremely difficult to stay warm in 35 degree weather.

There are some people in the campgrounds who think they own the place and can push around whoever they like.

You can wander the grounds all day and not run into a single member of this forum.   :P  (Actually, I have to correct myself, Martin found us!)

You can definitely run into the one's who are trapped, working in their shops.  Finding the one's who are prowling around on the loose may not be so easy...

1. Thorin mead can be bought by the bottle and taken home ;)

Oh wow, which shop sells that?

I got it at the The Wonkey Wally

Far as I know, Wonkey Wally, Sea Devil Tavern and I think Prince of Wales.
Its also available at Enchanted Manor Winery.  The mead-master has been working very hard to get it carried elsewhere.  I know for sure that it will be at Sherwood.
