Oh, it's got style.  An ugly style is still a style.

I strongly suspect that some photoshop trickery is in use here.

[Things that go bang]

Wrong on so many levels.

My shoes tend to be not period.  Velcro sandals and combat boots aren't period.

Question, Sir; since the goal here is anachronism, is period garb really an issue?

Yes.  The basic requirement of attending an SCA event is an attempt at pre 17th century clothing.  You don't need to match your garb to your persona unless you really want to, which is why I have ren-shirts.

This is one of the main bridges into Kherson. Cutting it off puts a fairly large number of Russian troops with out supply and a way out of the attack that the Ukrainians are planing.

No outfit is complete without cat hair.

Pretty much.

There was some variety of sauce, wish I could remember the name, that I tried once and reviewed as follows:
"A hot sauce with no heat, used to flavor food but it has no flavor. Why does this exist?"

I've had some sauces like that.  Most notably when I was in the Minnesota and had "BBQ".  Their sauce was bad, blander than even just ketchup.

A very short tunic, but I like the trim on this one.

[Pennsic]

Another linen on linen outfit, but this one is in period for me.

[Pennsic]

Nice dual color tunic.  No long enough to not need pants.

[Pennsic]

This one would be pants less, except it's split to about waist, so to avoid intermittent flashing I need to wear pants with it.

Checking my last stack of grab to see if it fits after being washed.  This is my linen shirt and pants combo.

The best way to end a sentence is with proof of innocence, a court ordered annulment of the sentence, and a compensatory payout for time served.

There are a lot of really bad ways to end a sentence. Being shanked by Roberto in the yard mere days before your release would probably be in the top ten.

Yeah, that seems like a good idea.

Well, he's sorta your friend until you let go of the spoon.  Then he's really not your friend any more.
