I have been budgeting my calories all week in advance of this weekend.  I am going to gorge myself on various fried delicacies (crap).

Of course.  It's no fun to go and not eat all the fried foods.  That crap is good for you once in a while.

It's that time of year again.  I am going to DVR the game Saturday and head out there and enjoy some 70 degree weather and watch people fly their freak flags.

I am really looking forward to getting a Scotch Egg.  There are very few places around here where you can get them.  I am usually not a big turkey leg guy, but I just might do it this year.

My son always wants me to buy him some sort of weapon early in the day, so he can walk around the rest of the time like a boss. Typically a wooden sword and wooden shield.  I am going to try and steer him toward the toy crossbows this year.

Turkey legs are the best.  Just a big hunk of meat.  Makes me feel like a caveman or something and I just killed a mammoth with my bare hands and now I'm eating the spoils of my hunt.

Well, in 1993 (last time I went) I think there were like battle ax's, swords, crossbows, the spike ball on a chain with a handle, ninja stars, throwing knives, all sorts of junk

This is totally why I am pushing this one.  I think I may get one too.  Make it a bonding thing.  Less for the dogs that will choke and die on the balls, but you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette.

i think its safe to say that the weapons pre-obama administration are going to be much cooler (read: dangerous) and post-obama.

1993 would have been a good year to go. i bet that sword is worth $5,000 right now on the ren fest black market.
I think what my friend Mitch is trying to say is that true love is blind.

Sometimes I get fired up and include pics, like my former muse, the Straight Talk thread.

I will post a in depth picture blog in this thread about the weapons vendors at Renfest KC.  That way, when you dudes roll out there this year, you know exactly where and what you are after.  Also, probably a few pics of Scotch Eggs and Turkey Legs (that rhymes!)

Scotch Eggs and Turkey Legs

both would also be very good DJamer names with turkey legs being my favorite of the two. cause if i'm going with an egg based DJamer name it's going to be denver omelette.
