The renfaire's are awfully in their dedication to making everything
completely accurate but for what they want to ignore
funny for example because they had these vendors carrying around what
looked
like wooden antennas, but what was obviously some ancient hanger devices.
They were strung with pretzels and bags of nuts.
Once again, I wondered where in the renaissance they got all that salt for
the soft
pretzels and all that paper for the bags of nuts
they had many vendors there who sold plenty of mead
and beer
things like Old Milwaukee, which was named for that ancient Celtic city of
Milwaukee apparently, as were
the other beers, of fiefdoms from Budweiser, and Michelob.
i didn't see any dogs, hot, coon or otherwise,
there were plenty of jousting horses
i worried whether the horses were using disc or drum brakes
'and wondered if the knights cursed, would they deduct points off their
total, just as they said they would do for Nascar
but more interesting was the existence of an elephant on the premises,
because of
course, somewhere in the world, there were elephants coexisting with
renaissance britain. since they were coequal in time, it was ok to have
them there pretending
to be an amusement ride.
i think the festival designers got mixed up when they were watching the
flintstones.
