So much ground to cover!The bit about the head butting.Ok.So, we were all in real life at King Richard's Faire -- a Rennaisance Faire outside of Boston, and Kidcthulhu and Bandeeto tried their hand at one of those carnival games where you have to hit a thingum with a mallet to try to ring a bell. (King Richard's Faire is the least historically accurate Rennaisance Faire ever produced--don't get on my case about it--it seems that after viewing the hash the competition was making of the job of historical re-enactment, the goodly folks at KRF gave up altogether and just decided to have a good time. )So anyway, the mallet thing. Apparently it was pretty difficult and it took quite a few attempts for one of them to ring the bell. I don't remember who succeeded at last--I think it may have been Kidcthulhu, who is surprisingly strong for her size. And in a strange moment of pure jubilation, feeling very masculine and pumped, Kidcthulhu and Bandeeto actually did headbutt each other--I can't type I'm laughing myself to tears recalling this--ok, whew--and nearly knocked each other senseless."Ok" they both said, reeling around the fair. "Why did we DO that?" Maybe you  had to be there. I remember trying very hard to be sympathetic and keep a straight face at the time. Maybe that's why I'm still cracking  up about it all these years later. Anyway, this moment of stupidity parodied in Piratecat's campaign, immortalized for you by me.What else was there?Does anyone still have a copy of Alix's letter to his dad? It was special. Something about "Get stuffed, you flatulent bastard"?Also, we heckled Tao about the Southern Swamps episode for years. If you ever really want to get up her nose, try heckling her about that one, Wulf.Cadrienne actually went and spent a proficiency slot on Stellar Navigation after hearing about this incident, not realizing that technically, it's only meant to be used at sea, and having no idea that she was going to develop a morbid fear of boats. Which will be another story for another day.The proficiency actually did turn out to be useful later when Cadrienne's foster son wanted to grow up to be a pirate and she subverted his ambition by teaching him the art and getting him apprenticed to a pilot. See Dylrath's earlier assertion that he knows where to find the current Defenders a top notch navigator for their new boat.I try never to waste anything.</blockquote>
