| Thirteen Things about Aginoth
It's Thursday again....
So what shall it be today
13 things Members of the Public (MOPs) ask Medieval Re-enactors...
1. Is that Fire Real?....No it's a Hologram
2. Are you going to eat that?....Spoon poised to put food in mouth
3. Do you know Robin Hood/King Arthur/Ivanhoe....slight problem with them being mythical
4. How do you turn off the Doll?....The doll was actually LMB crying aged 6 months or so.
5. Of Course Swords never killed anyone....Parent to eight year old son - we tried not to fall over laughing
6. Do you live here all the time....What do these people use for brains?
7. Isn't it great that they built the Castle so close to the Motorway....American Tourists !
8. We're in the UK for 2 weeks to see all of the castles....all 1100 plus of them; that's some itiniary
9. Can I kill my brother with this....you could but we wouldn't recommend it, ahhh what the hell one less in the gene pool
10. Can I take this home?....MOP picking up my longbow; ummmm let me think...NO!
11. Really? There were no potatoes in the 14th Century?....the number of people who don't know potatoes came from South America in the 16th Century (Sir Francis Drake) always amazes me.
12. Can I go in your tent?....can I come in your house and poke around maybe wake up your children? No? Didn't think so matey, the door is tied shut for a reason.
13. Did they have children in teh Middle Ages?....OK...now first you need a Mummy and a Daddy, shall I carry on the explanation?

i guess I'm in the bad category, cuz I didn't know about the potatoes either! :)
Think of all the educating you get to do!
Thanks for visiting my TT.
How do you not laugh out loud!!!! I am amazed that some people are able to dress themselves.
Great list...and thanks for stopping by mine.
Haha, great list! I don't re-enact myself, but some of my friends do. I love to visit medieval festivals.
My TT is about birthday facts this week.
OMG!! That list is hysterical!!
#13 is my favorite!!!
Thanks for dropping by. I thoroughly enjoyed your site.

Grat list. I know a lot of SCA members here and they just got back from Pennsic War. No matter how much fun they tell me it is, lounging around in Medieval garb for two weeks just never appealed to me.
Thanks for stopping by my T13.
LOL, this was a good laugh! I knew about potatoes because that's what we South Americans keep asking ourselves...what did Europeans eat before "our" contribution to the haute cuisine... Happy TT, Aginoth!
on number 9...i wished i could have killed my norhter too when we were small and growing up. he was a terror!
That's a great list. I can imagine. I went to a midievil Fare in Germany and it was so much fun. I didn't understand any of the language, but so much of the understanding comes with the physical acting!
No way. NO WAY! That's unbelievable. "Of course swords never killed anyone."
I've always wanted to go to a SCA event, but never have. Next to Regency-era England, the middle ages are my favorite time period.
Well, I had no idea about potatoes! (and I just ate some "chips" in your honor!)
Funny list!
Hahahaha...Those were cute! If only we could say to people what we really thought.
'Wow - honey! They had TENTS in those days!' :-)
What may possibly be my last TT is up, dear...

this is definately a funny list, loving it!! :D thx for stopping by.
you mean that i have FD for potatoes!!! bloody hell!!!
What a great list!! Made me lol!!!
Happy TT!!!
Glad to see sarcasm and irony are flourishing in the MREs :-)
Thanks for visiting!
Great list! I loved #13--I mean, really? Were there children? Some people have brain problems.
My TT is up!
Great list! #5, #7 and #13 sound too fantastic to be true! I guess it takes all kinds of people to mke the world!
These were really great. Reminds me of friends who worked ona cruise. They said people asked the craziest questions, like what time is the midnight buffet? Do these stairs go up?
Great list,
Candy
LOL! I missed this last week, mainly because I didn't do a T13, so I didn't go blog surfing that day, either.
To be honest, I never really gave much thought to potatoes, therefore I didn't know they came from South America. I used to live in Idaho, which was penned the "spud' state by... well, I really don't know who. Anyhow, everytime I told people that I was from Idaho, they always said something stupid about me being a potato farmer. Yeah. Whatever.
Thanks for the chuckles this morning, Mr. A; funny stuff.
Those are great! :)
