Funniest pics ever

Hey man... I dig doing the costuming and armor and dressing up for the local renaissance festivals here. But I draw the line at LARPing. If it's anything like when I used to roll dice back in the day, I'll be lying on the ground dead more than I'd be running around!
 
I admit, if this took place in like an airplane hangar, far far far away from any public eye, I'd do it if they at least used wood weapons. Itd be like medieval paintballing. Oh fuck, did I just admit that?
 
Yes, Ben, you did just admit that.

The last guy I dated claimed to have done some of this, though not in the year+ we were together. As geeky as I can be sometimes, I still couldn't help laughing at him. I just think it's about the goofiest, most "butt" damn thing I've ever heard of, but then again, I'll be freezing my ass off in 2 months to shoot at foam animals, so maybe I don't have much room to talk. :)

And, yes, I'm willing to bet some of them listen to Rhapsody. And probably Stratovarius and even some Blind Guardian. lol
 
I mean like one of the captions said, they wouldnt be total Manginas if they didnt use foam swords. Really, it wouldnt be super gay if they used dull steel or at least wooden shit. Even though it wouldnt be total gay, itd still be spooning shirtless with another man awkardness that should never be told to anyone.
 
I could make a fortune making weapons for these chodes.... I have a fondness for woodworking... I could be the game's blacksmith, and forge their weapons for money, then buy the hottest wench for myself...


....except they prolly don't have any 'hottest' wenches...


...just one grade of wench...


....I could settle for a D- wench as long as she don't make me listen to rap....


...I suppose....
 
hahahaha. this is the best convo i have ever read. wenches? you have to have fine malted ale and meat ripe from the bone then too. and hobbits.
 
:hotjump: u guys are all untrue metal warriors .and yes i'd definitely go to that festival,and i'd tell them to put a rhapsody music for us.oh man do i feel like killing some dragons? :rock:
 
hehehehe

BTW, before saying how 'gheigh' using foam weapons is......have YOU ever gotten thwacked with a blunted, non-edged steel sword? Uh, having it happen once will make you go for padded weapons every time.* I suspect wooden weapons would hurt about as much.

The Society for Creative Anachronism, the international and long-established medieval reenactment group, allows only padded weapons (but full armor, and full-force blows). They were effectively LARPing long before it became 'popular.'

The Pennsic War, which is their annual gathering in the States, is something that has to be seen to be believed.

* Yes, this hurts! I work for Starfire Swords each spring at the GA Rennaissance Faire, and we make combat-ready carbon-steel weapons for stage and screen. We don't fool around as much at the booth these days...ahem. Heck, dropping a battle-axe head on your foot is painful enough, even wearing boots!
