Red Solo cups are period.
The image in question is from the Tacuinum Sanitatis, which may end up being a Christmas present for my wife. It’s the sort of thing that’s of interest to her and she’ll certainly get this joke. Continue reading Exciting news from the Society for Creative Anachronism!
I’m not asking why. That’s your business. But if you need to do it, play this.
‘This’ being Black Nag, which is one of the standard go-to beginning dances taught to all SCA newcomers. So… watch for the person who has cocked his or her head to the side, visibly counting the beats, and twitching his or her foot. There. That’s your SCAdian.

When a man broke into Karen Dolley’s home on Thursday night, her training in medieval combat came in handy. So did her sword.
…which is to say, it ended with the guy cowering manfully in a corner and being really really really sorry that he had invaded the nice woman’s house and oh, wow, here are some wonderful policemen come to save him.

Or something.
People ask me – usually rhetorically – When’s the last time you’ve ever seen a Lefty who likes the Second Amendment?… and then they look shocked when I blink and say Umm, last Saturday? Seriously, join the SCA and you’ll end up seeing every counterculture fusion there is. Gun-toting hippies. Neo-pagan Republicans. Women who might think that your science fiction jokes are funny.
Plus, there’s beer.
