even better: Bruce Campbell IS Elvis! 

Old Elvis. Old Elvis, in a nursing home.

Old Elvis, in a nursing home....with a rather interesting case of...well, you folks will just have to rent it. 


Great movie. Wierd as all get out, but great.

Bubba Ho-Tep rocks.  Unfortunately, the sequel will be lacking Bruce Campbell, but *will* star Ron Perlman and Paul Giamatti (for whom I possess a healthy dose of hetero-man-love).

When I first started playing Elizabeth here at MiRF, I heard the question often.  After all, I took the role after years of having a king and queen here.  Ten years of hard work has created this fair an Elizabethan faire.  That coupled with the numerous movies (Shakepeare in Love, Elizabeth, The Golden Age, etc.) even with their numerous historical inaccuracies, has helped further to educate people on Elizabeth.  Many of my bits regarding a husband are rarely pulled out any more.  In fact, this year, I think I have only done the no-husband bits maybe three times!

How many times a day does Caroline, the performers making up the court, or the rest of the cast get asked "Where is the King?".  We hear it constantly.

"No *NEED* of a husband." I'm close enough to hear it in the morning and the way you look at Burleigh, should make the mans blood run cold. It's hysterical. The best part about it, is that it's an aside not everybody gets to enjoy. It's conversational and not overplayed. When the Vulgarians asked about your children, today, I not only heard a couple of the cast members say, "we are your children," but a couple of the playtrons as well. I was really thrilled that the people are getting that part of her story. That she not only was a brilliant politician, but a mother to all of England. It was what made her a great queen. Not that she held power, and stayed off usurpers, but that she did it in a way that made her countrymen love her.

It's very possible that they are not asking about the king to QE, but -A- king, as there have been numerous ones at MiRF in the last 10 years, including Spanish, French, German, and that guy in blue who didn't work at MiRF but kept telling people he was king.  With none of them here in 2009, and assuming that the average patron comes every 2-3 years, it is very possible that the last time they were at MiRF there was a king.

"alot more people to kill"

Oh yes and with the invasion of the Outlanders and their allies the Brethren of the Great Lakes this coming weekend- we as QEI's personal privateers/mercs and our Fleets et al make it nearly impossible for the Spanish Armada - hmmm - kinda reminds me of the burning boat I did near the fountain mmm??

I indeed do pity the Spanish.... - nah - but I do like their jewelry :0 (pilfering as we speak)

Always in your service,

What's funny though is that even if Queen Elizabeth had married. I don't think the people of England would've thought him/a king as powerful as Queen Elizabeth, Because of her running the kingdom so smoothly for as long as she did, and she probably wouldn't let him possess as much power. Though it may have been a man's world back then. Queen Elizabeth was the exception to the rule. If you think about it. We only want to change presidents if they are no good, so why would they want to replace a good Queen with a King, just because he's male. Times were changing then, and times were getting better.

Pipere,

I absolutely LOVE your new character this year.  I'm happy to see you more involved in the whole show, not just the opening skit (as well as the one who played Pandora last year, she's a hoot too!).  You (and your male counterpart) are so much fun to watch, and your interactions with the crowd are AWESOME! Keep up the good work and please pass on the compliments to your fellow Vulgarians!!

Hail Vulgaria...Hail Yes!!

[Pipere]

Aww, well thank you Virgil, I can really appreciate that coming from somebody such as yourself who attends regularly. I have to say, I'm enjoying the character switch too and I'll pass that along to my brother and cousin.

(Blood makes the grass grow:Kill! Kill! Kill!)

Pipere actually smiles her head off back stage. I love seeing her and Sean love doing this part so very much.

The evil that oozes from her always comes with a satisfaction I find disturbing, in a really good way. It's darn hard to play evil at a Festival and she has it down pat. Evil and ridiculous. So perfect.

[Lord Virgil]

Oh, you can tell Pipere and her fellow Vulgarians are having a great time playing these characters.  Getting to be bad can be way more fun than being good.  As long as you play it like they do (they consider the boos as cheers) it's gotta be fun to do.  I harass them every time they pass the pub and you can acutally see their faces light up as you boo them, great fun!! 

[Severus Schmidt]

I want to be a mute Vulgarian please I would be great at it I never say anything. And I would like to note I read this whole thread while I was at work

[Poldugarian Warrior]

Don't let them at work find that out. I used to access this site at work, and evryone else accessed their sites they liked as well when things got slow. But, now nobody can access any sites that aren't work related even on lunch break.

[Severus Schmidt]

True but im the IT guy lol but thanks
