Ohio Renaissance Festival Student Day #1

Points to ponder:

Perhaps we should tell the cast that when the kids take a pike college, they get a parchment certificate that states they are immune to sumptuary laws so that the cast can play up on that?

How many jesters have you seen that carry a 16-foot pike and a sword? (Okay, that's not just student days.)

Do I really look like the Queen? Danke! I'm quite flattered, but I'm not sure Her Majesty would be! (this is not limited to myself, but it appears that some kids thought the Queen had a beard and carried a pike).

If you can find soldiers throughout the village, how come there aren't questions to ask them?

Yes, it is a real gun/sword/pike/halberd and no, I won't shoot/slice/stab/hack your friend. (Gee, haven't heard that for at least 10 minutes).

You really don't want to know what is in the tent.

There are SO many uses for urine:

• How do you make a match for a matchlock?
• Can't get that vegetable dye to stay?
• Need to bleach that chemise?

What is so funny about a keg at a mercenary encampment that it requires pointing and giggling?

I wish they'd stop asking why I carry my mug/cup/bowl on my side when I'm holding my mug in my hand.
