Ah, yeah, Free fall when there were actual evil antagonists.  Don't get me wrong, I like it, read it every time it updates, but their current problems have been with economics and labor relationships.  Which may actually be harder to deal with than evil, when you get down to it.

Watching basketball at the Olympics and I realize I miss the trapezoid key.

It was visual shorthand reminding me this wasn't an NCAA or NBA game.

I know it's silly.

 . . . . .

For a real challenge, forget the trapezoid and play on a pyramid.  Can you slam dunk into a crocodile's jaw?

Real croc of some sorta fake plastic thing?

Why use a fake with so many real crocs using up the best beaches on the Nile?

That would put the shoe on the other foot... which would be bitten off.

Someone thought of this before I did. There goes my future fortune.

Talk about missing the point. Then again, not surprised that Faceplant f*@%ed up with less than excellent service.

At least they did you a favor.

I'm amused by the fact that the HTML standard references the Papal bull of 1582 as part the standard.

I went to the NC Ren Faire yesterday (it's the big one for NC), and one of the things they had was a tree man; an actor in a tree suit with a puppet opossum and a puppet raccoon for dialog. He was wearing a sign that said "Please tip the tree man". Seems like that would hurt, falling over like that.

[mlooney 3,839]

I'm internet and Pennsic friends with a belly dancer that does the ren-fair circuit, but I think NC is a little far south for her.

[Darth Fluffy 378]

The character of the Ren Faires I've been to has changed over time. They used to be focused on period reenactment, now there is a big element of fantasy. Elf ears were all over the place.

Most of the Renaissance Festivals I've attended have been small shows based on really bad jokes.

Must go back.

Just wait until a subset of the re-enactment/fantasy community crosses over with a subset of the furry community.

Wren Faires.

I see at least one furry everytime I go to a ren fair.  Granted not a wren.  Haven't seen a "bird" furry in a long time.  Unless you count the "chicken" that leads the chicken dances at Oklahoma "Oktoberfest".

I have seen people wandering around in dragon costumes, not at this Faire, but at a couple of the smaller ones. Mitigating that, they have been good looking women in somewhat skimpy costumes.

During a nature hike ate one of the state parks nearby, we happened across a furry gathering. That was almost painful to see. I suppose I should not kink shame. I'll just avoid it.

Wrens aren't actually furry, they are feathery; this came up in the context of stumbling past the gathering. Birds and lizards are represented, so I guess 'furry' means feathery and scaly too. Possibly they are just that dumb, hard to tell these days.
