No s**t, there I was, coming late to an event. My boyfriend went ahead the day before because he didn't have to work, and he set up camp for us.
When I arrived, late, hungry, and generally annoyed, I trudged into our modest pavilion to drop off my things. There was my boyfriend's duffle bag, but off in a corner there was an unfamiliar bag--it was purple and all covered with Celtic knots. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against purple knotted tote bags, but it didn't look like anything my ex-green-beret boyfriend would be sporting. When I asked about the mysterious luggage, he explained that it was his ex-girlfriend's.
"It's not like I invited her in.... she just kind of made herself at home!"
Me, my boyfriend, and my boyfriend's ex? I think not.

Imzy Shnelt After a fight some herald started giving honors to those who have fought noteworthy, and I was celebrated for leading a charge. anyway he go's on and on about "Mi'lords bravery" and "this mans skill" (the brigandine I wear doesn't have any curves) but when he asks me to take off my helmet it's obvious I am no man, and he turns bright red with embarressment and slaps himself, whilst apologizing. Oh, you totally should have whipped off your helmet, tossed your hair, and said, "I am no man!" a'la Eowyn from LotR. biggrin
hahaha, that would have been awesome!

Alrighty, a common Bard's No s**t tale...
No s**t, there I was, squaring off against the King of Calontir and his Huscarl. I wielded a Seven foot greatsword, No! a longsword, No! a short sword, No!...a toothpick. And as the mighty force before me came crashing down upon me like a tidal wave upon a shore village, I flicked my mighty rattan toothpick at the king. It entered his helm and he fell, dead. He fell upon one of his Huscalr, tripping him, which tripped all those behind in a mighty chain of metal, leather, and bruised flesh. I had won the fight, a noble-yet humble warrior of Ansteorra.
*take a good look to the crowd and a dramatic pause*
No s**t, there I was.
It's a popular one among the groups I've run with. Insert the kingdom of your choice and replace Huscarl with Knights and go with it. Who knows, you might get somewhere in a bardic competion ( albeit a more...revel-oriented one). I learned it from a very nice Calontiri... too bad I picked his kingdom to pick on...

Imzy Gaijin32 Hehe, Bagel Hockey. Funny! On a more SCA-related topic, there was one time, a lot of years back, when I was still an informal part of the then-shire of Windhaven. It was at a dance class, or a practice, and everyone was really putting their weight on it. We went from one dance to another, until we got to the one that got me sitting out. The Koro Bushka. Dunno if I'm spelling it right, but that's how it sounds. Anyway, we were in a huge circle around this gymnasium, dancing, and loving every minute. Then I take a bad step, and the outer edge of my boot comes down on the floor instead of the sole. My ankle folded without breaking (somehow), and I went down on my side, startled as all blue hell. But the good part is, as soon as I went down like that, there were about 4 or 5 people all rushing my way, to be sure I was all right. They walked me to a chair and had me sit down for a few, to take stock, see if anything was still unusually sore. I was fine, luckily. A lot more scared than hurt. I kinda stayed with the simpler dances after that, but have since forgotten them all. *sigh* *lol* ah, yes, the karabushka (I think...). That dance can be lethal, especially if you have anything weighty dangling from your belt, or long tippets on your sleeves, or anything like that. biggrin Is that the russian cossak dance that has you squat close to the ground and kick out?

My first night in the SCA my lord squire told this tale to me...Wich is the reason I never want to meet his Knight...
"No s**t, there I was, At the '92 (or '93???) West/Ciad war, there was a rez capture the flag battle. I was walking to the rez point to wait my 2 min and go back out there. My Knight, Valgard, met me there. He waited untill my 2 min was up, then he said, "Squire, come with me." (later to be known as the most imfamous phrase in our household) So, being a good squire, I went with him. He lead me to the Ciadan line, and calmly said, "Just walk natually." Now mind you he was Prince of the Mists at the time, he was wearing the Prince's tabard, and his shield had -all bright and new- the Device of the Mists. So, walking natually, we walked towards the Ciadan flag.
We where about 20 yards away from the flag when some guy turns around...and sees us. He starts hollering and nudging the guy next to him. So the two of them get the attention of Giaus' boy and Draufin (sp?). They broke off of the front lines and turned around towards us. I was bug eyed and already feeling it. "Just walk natually." says my knight...
Needless to say we got hamburgered, 5 feet from the flag..."
So now my page sister (his daughter) and I tease him about it.
Please, forgive the typos and misspellings biggrin
