So I'm working on my research in a university computer lab, when I hear heavy footsteps and clanking. Thinking it is a workman carrying something I ignore it... then some guy in full chainmail carrying a ####### sword strides past... ?:oo
A few minutes later a guy in monk robes also carrying a sword races through.

How am I supposed to concentrate with distractions like this happening... I think the universe is telling me to go home and paint something... ?:;): What do you guys think? ?:D

Actually I have one of those inflatable maces (from a carnival) which I keep in my office for "special councelling interviews" :)

Yes, it could be a sign telling you to go home and paint minis. :D  A more likely explanantion is a group of LARP players.

Clearly you do not work for an American Corporation. I would not be able to get away with that at all.  :{

It does sound useful though.  :;):

More then likely an SCA event...LARP generally doesn't like live weapons...

I remember the one and only LARP event I went to. One of the "Knights" was running around in "Armor" made from grey carpet. The "Magic User" was tossing bean bags to see if his spells hit you. And the local Gamer Chick was showing more of her body then I wanted to see. (Think closing in on 450 pounds).

It was a bit more then I could take. I mean, I am a geek, but it was more then I was willing to let out in public. :p

Her name wasn't Debbie, was it?

I know what SCA is, was a Tuchuck fan long ago, but what is LARP?

Jaldon :oo

LARP = Live Action Role Playing

No, her real name was Terry and her "In Character" name was something like Liandra or some such odd fantasy name.  If you are into very large women she would have been your cup of tea. But if you wanted a date you could fit into a normal car, she was a pass.

(Man that was mean sounding. Sorry.)
