Things I learned at Sherwood

[dfloyd888]

Things I have learned at Sherwood:

1:  Being as definite as possible with "wench" versus "winch".
2:  Turkey legs can be tossed in a cooler and be used for sandwiches later on.
3:  Sand is omnipresent.
4:  Claritin is an immense help.
5:  The puzzle how someone in a hoop skirt can fit into a standard size privy.  Sort of like folding space and time, or fitting a model train in a Coke bottle.
6:  If there were a zombie apocalypse, a renfaire would likely one of the safest places to be, due to the first rule of zombie combat:  blades do not need reloading.
7:  Pickle juice is a great pick-me-up.
8:  Faeries wear boots, and you gotta believe me.
9:  Ben Nye Remove-it-All is awesome stuff.  It even works on laundry.
10:  A checklist before heading to faire is a great help in preventing forgetting something important.
