Tampa Renaissance Fair #1


Ren Fair 016, originally uploaded by bucklesw1.

Enjoyed a pleasant Easter Sunday, I had the house to myself since everyone had donned their Medieval drag and departed for the Renaissance Festival.
In the meantime, Ben rented one of those power washers like they use on elephants and knocked all the grime off my RV bus, looks good as new.
During all this excitement, I lay in repose, watching the NCAA Basketball Tournament.

I was later told that Bones had the elephant ride up in So. Carolina but his camels and ponies were here.

as amusing that Feld Inc went to a Ren Fair to cut their deal to lease "Lancelot" the "unicorn" on the show in the 1980's. A "New Age" guy who caled himself Oberon Zell-Ravenheart made ten of those unicorns by transplanting the horn buds on kid goats. He had them on the Ren Fairs for many years. EXCEPT for the four year stretch when he leased Lancelot to GSOE. I'm surprised nobody else carried on the tradition.

Ben,
I suggest if they had everybody would now be crying about how much better they liked the 2 horned goats.
Look what has happened with the white tigers. I guess now that you are "crewed up" you have time to blog. LOL

Amazing what a difference an actual tent crew can make. We had yesterday "off," so today with no jump it's pretty laid back. Maybe not as laid back as that other show where Capt McCoy notes that the owner took the show out to an Irish Pub for Easter. I don't know what the official PETA position is on Ren Fairs, all those people walking around gnawing on large turkey legs. How many turkeys had to die so that fair fans could dress in chain mail and eat with their fingers?

Ben,
Now you are trying to tell me that clown Canine has a rank. Capt.? I've been at this game longer then him. Who do I see about one of those deals? Congratulation's Ben, I see you have learned how to beat those outrageous gas prices. Couple more jumps like you did yesterday, and you can buy the whole tent crew cabbage at the Irish Pub. LOL

Mr Burck, given your knowledge of both the American and the European schools, I'm sure that your could sport the golden oak clusters of a Colonel. How come nobody presenting cats gets to be a Field Marshal?

Ben,
I think they called Gunther The Field Marshal. Yes, they did that's right, I remember, because Mishu called Charley The Reich Fuerer. Thanks for mentioning that "cluster" deal, Ben. Now Casey has an opening to mention me in reference to another type of "cluster"

Speaking of titles, Bubba Voss once asked Roy Zinzer if he was a full colonel or just a Lt. Col.
The Colonel asked Bubba why he wan't to know and Bubba answered thast he wanted to know if the Col. outranked him. After Zinzer answered him, Bubba admitted that he was only a Pvt 1st Class.
