King's Feast

[philpot]

Could not decide whether to place this in the Food or the Entertainment section but here it is.

We have attended the Kings Feast the last 5 years and had a forking good time !!

My wife and I did notice that the show last year just was not the same without the old cast. Does anyone know why the major cast change?

Already have the tickets for this year’s trip, and looking forward to the great food, Sangria and the show.

[Sir Martin]

I didn't attend the King's Feast, but was informed by several people (including a couple cast members) that the cast reductions over the past 3 to 4 years affected the King's Feast as well as stage acts and lane performers. There has been less music and other acts in the lanes the past few years and it has been noticeable. I know of one or two past performers who will be returning to TRF this year, so maybe this is being addressed.

[Rapier Half-Wit]

I went to one of the very first Kings Feasts (I think it was '78 or '79) and had a fantastic time and even back then it was expensive, but the entertainment was non-stop. from everything I have heard, the show now isn't 1/4 of what it used to be.

Hey RHW . . where did they hold the King's Feast back then? Was it in the current location, or was it possibly back in the Sherwood Forest area? The reason I ask is that there is still some covered seating that is not generally used behind one of the food shoppes in the Italian Village. I think there is a sign that they can be rented for family reunions etc., but I saw them the first time I attended TRF in 1982. Someone told me they used to hold the King's Feast there but I'm not sure they were correct.

[Rapier Half-Wit]

Yes, I beleive that's the place. I haven't been back there since, so I'm not exactly sure where you are speaking of. I know that the feast was in (what is now) Sherwood Forest; back then it was the Gypsy village.

[Sir Martin]

As you walk into Sherwood Forest, the area I'm referencing is all the way back and to the left. It is behind the Italian Village's pizza/sandwich shoppe. I just looked on last year's program and it is labeled "Royal Reunion". I guess they prepared the food back there for the King's Feast back in the 70's and early 80's. Some (or most) of the original covered seating is still there.

[Rapier Half-Wit]

I can see by the map where you are referring to, and i was even in the Italian village last year, but I didn't go all the way back in there. I will have to make the trek to the back to see if it triggers any memories. Thanks for the heads up about it. Lots of years have passed since then. I definitly recall the event, sitting there eating, drinking and making merry. It was definitly a good time. :D

[Sir Martin]

I envy you for being able to say you participated in that way back when. I'm really hoping that some folks will join the forum who might have pictures from the 70's or early 80's. I miss the Gypsy Wagon Stage. I believe it was just as you cross the bridge into Sherwood (over on the right side). They've replaced it with shoppes that do massages and sell incense etc.

[Rapier Half-Wit]

I'm sorry that I didn't think of taking pictures back then. I would love to be able to look back and not just at my hazy memories, but at actual pictures that I could share with others.
In my earliest memories of Gypsy village there were no permanent buildings or structures, but only just tents. And the vendors would all just lay their wares out on blankets or rugs. I don't even recall the stage that you mention, Sir Martin. A few years later that whole area was turned into Sherwood Forest and where the Carillon & elephants are now, there was a stage where Robin Hood and the Merry Men performed the legend of Robin Hood. But now that is gone as well.

[philpot]

I have only been attending for the last 5 years. It would be great to see how the grounds have changed over the years. I have seen the picture that someone posted of the tree carved as a dragon and a knight; I could not recognize any of the foreground at all.

I just posted over in 'Other TRF collectables' about my poster collection and that I have the map from 1976. As soon as I can get that scanned in, I'll post it and you'll be able to see how the faire grounds have changed since 1976.

[philpot]

That would be great, if it does not scan well set it to high resolution. I have a lady that works for me that can probably adjust the colors to bring more of it out. It will change the appearance, but let you see more detail.

You might need to send it to me via email but we can probably work it out !!!

[Sir Martin]

Ooooooohhh . . I'd love to see the 1976 map! :cool:

[Rapier Half-Wit]

My scanner is playing up, but I'll figure something out. Also, as the poster is 17" x 22" (with printing on both sides), it will take several scans to get it all, then to assemble all of the pieces together for one big image. It's going to take me a couple of days. I'll get it done.

[philpot]

Hey back on the orginal topic . . .

Anyone got any news on this year's show?

[Rapier Half-Wit]

Hey back on the orginal topic . . .

I guess that's a 'no'. Why don't you email Jeff Baldwin, the director of entertainment, at producer@texrenfest.com. I'm sure that he will know.

[Guenevere]

I have never done the King's Feast....I just cant gorge that much. I cant eat all that food or drink all that alcohol. I am a grazer....I like to nibble and snack my way thru the Renfest. I am also not a lush either so just two glasses of wine (mead) for me. :)

Besides I really enjoy visiting all the places and getting a little sample of this or that.

[kolath]

This will be my 7th or 8th feast on this year. I recently convinced the family to go. So this will be 3rd or 4th for them. The feast act has changed but it is still enjoyable. We noticed too that the act has changed from years past. I'm curious as to what is going on now. It's now the Pirate Feast hmmmm. I love it and will continue to go as long as they have it.
Fork on!!

[philpot]

The King's feast was wonderful this year! The food was good, the Sangria, beer, wine and tea were great!

At worst the chicken was a little dry but the pork and prime rib were excellent !!

Who performed?

[philpot]

The Pirates mainly, they always bring in a few of the acts ( Iris and Rose, etc) for a few minutes. It was better than last year's show.

[kolath]

good, i hope that they did a good job. did they also have the music and the pinky song? must stick with some good traditions like bringing out the mugs.

I don't have pictures from back then (before the age of digital cameras), but I do have a few programs from the early years. Since I don't see a method to post files on this forum, I haven't done so, plus I'm not sure about the copyright issue with scanning the documents and posting them. If someone from TRF could give an OFFICIAL policy releasing the scanned images, I'll be happy to post them for all to enjoy. (remember the chariot racing area?).

[kolath]

fair use. go ahead and post the images, just don't post them all. copyright issues say you can use images for personal use and not commercial use. I work with copyright almost everyday and have to watch it myself.
all you are doing is posting images for personal use, not for monetary gain.

[Norberto]

Anyone planning on attending the King's Feast / Wine Tasting this season?

[AngieP]

Hubby and I plan on doing the Kings Feast. I am going to call tomorrow and check date availability

Angie,

Awesome!! Let me know what you find out. I have attended before, but I would like to again.

Thanks,

Bert

[Sir Martin]

I think the wine tasting has been held for many years in succession. The beer tasting was canceled for one or two years, but I think they had one last year.

[Norberto]

No, I talked to the wine tasting staff last year and they informed me that they had ceased the beer tasting event due to numerous issues.

[Sir Martin]

Well then ... the "beer tasting" I heard about last season must have been an unofficial event. :D

[Nunyafb]

Man, and I was hoping to get a taste of a few great brews! Oh well, there's a fairly wide variety to choose from in various locations all over the grounds.

I guess I'll just have to have my own beer tasting!:D

[philpot]

My Wife and extra winch will be doing the King's Feast again, we keep talking about the wine tasting, maybe this year!

[Norberto]

Well then ... the "beer tasting" I heard about last season must have been an unofficial event. :D

I guess so. I inquired about it before Fest time and that's when they told me it was no longer to be held. I also asked the Wine tasting people during Fest.

Don't know if they'll ever bring it back, but I would definitely sign up.

[Sir Martin]

My Wife and extra winch will be doing the King's Feast again, we keep talking about the wine tasting, maybe this year!

I hope you are doing the King's Feast and Wine Tasting on different days. They keep your cups filled with wine, ale, etc., at the feast. It might be a sensory overload to have a wine tasting after that. :)

[Norberto]

That's right Philpot. They might tuck you away for the night if you did both of these on the same day. :D

[philpot]

Hmmm, sounds like what we are looking for, late night activities, will not be a hazzard, as long as they don't try to move me :D :eek:

[Norberto]

Well, I guess I didn't really feel all THAT violated.;)

Well, you could of gotten hurt. You need not partake in those sorts of activities.

[Nunyafb]

There was nothing I could do. I was attacked. I guess I'll just have to be on my guard and keep an eye out for suspicious looking wenches this year at TRF.:)

[philpot]

After those posts, I want to see pictures.

Lets have the whole story ! Are you holding back?

[Norberto]

After those posts, I want to see pictures.

Good Philpot,

You haven't heard the story? Nuny will have to post the clean version here, or e-mail you the truth/R-rated version. ;)

[Nunyafb]

After those posts, I want to see pictures.

Lets have the whole story ! Are you holding back?

I think I've told a version of this story in another thread, but I'll tell it again here.

One year at TRF (years ago) as I was just minding my own business resting under the shade of a tree, I was approached by one of the many TRF wenches. She said something like "I like a man with a beard!" and proceeded to grab me by the back of my head and rub my face all over her ample cleavage. After that I felt so violated that I had to go and purchase another beer.

[Norberto]

What's wrong with that? I love that story.

Actually, I am a little misty-eyed right now.

[philpot]

Well, I know the feeling, My wife and I were at the Kings Feast ( before the show started ) and my wife was telling one of the server ladies to mess with me.

She said the same thing and did the same thing ( probally the same winch ) ( I have a beard also )

When she let me up for air I just looked at her and smiled ( she ran away )

Then I had a beer, then sangria, then another sangria . . . .

[Norberto]

LOL!!! It just keeps getting better and better. I love it.

I just have a goatee.....:(

LOL!!!

[Nunyafb]

LOL!!! It just keeps getting better and better. I love it.

I just have a goatee.....:(

LOL!!!

Maybe this year you'll hear "I just love a man with a goatee!" and before you know it, you'll be violated too.

[Norberto]

Maybe this year you'll hear "I just love a man with a goatee!" and before you know it, you'll be violated too.

One can only hope.......

[Nunyafb]

One can only hope.......

Or, maybe someone will sic two or three belly dancers on you like they did to me one year.

[Norberto]

Life would be complete, my friend. :)

[Nunyafb]

Life would be complete, my friend. :)

I know I felt all refreshed, tingly, and full of life after that.:)

[Sir Martin]

I wasn't going to comment until someone mentioned the belly dancers. :) One thing that disappoints me is the lack of available light on the Castle Stage. Shunyata belly dance (as well as the Washing Well Wenches) are very difficult to photograph because this is the darkest of TRF's three major stages.

I noticed that last year as I caught the last moments of one of their shows. I guess the netting over the top kind of darkens the stage quite a bit.

Sir Martin,

I agree. I have taken pictures here, and I have had the same problem. Granted I am not the photographer as most would take seriously, but I noticed after I developed that this area was definitely darker due to the height of the backstage as well as the surroundings. My flash did not help either.

Also, there is quite the lush background as well as overhang creating somewhat of a dark environment alltogether.

Yes ... exactly the trouble I was having. Most flashes only work up to 15 - 20 feet, and you can be out of range on a large stage like this. The back of the stage is indeed high and dark, and, even though it is beautiful, not much light comes through that translucent multi-colored zodiac symbol over the stage. Still ... it's hard to complain because the shade is really nice on the sunny days.

That's true indeed, I forgot about that. There is a stained glass mosaic that sends light rays every which way, which also causes a problem for most cameras.

I had several bad shots of my second favorite type of dancers due to this very problem.

[AngieP]

Not to take the focus off of Belly Dancers and Beautiful stages, but I just had to say that today I reserved my seats at the King's feast!!! Seats are selling out quickly from what the lady told me. Has anyone ever sat at table 23? How was the view?

Hi Angie,

I will need to review the layout map posted in their site to exactly see where #23 is situated, but the Feast Hall layout is superb. Let me ease your mind a bit. I can honestly say that the room really doesn't have a bad spot. Naturally, some views are better than others, but the stage is set so high that everyone can clearly see and hear what is going on. There are large support beams that exist around the room, but even then you can position yourself around these.

[philpot]

Angie, this your first time to the Kings Feast ?

[Sir Martin]

Angie - I think you will have a fine view. Although I haven't attended a Feast, I walked back into the feast hall with one of the clerks from the Merchant Prince gift shoppe. The layout is nice and, as Bert said, you should be able to position yourself for a good view. The entertainers will most likely be moving on and off the stage throughout the feast. Have fun. :)

[AngieP]

Angie, this your first time to the Kings Feast ?

Yes this will be the 1st time for myself, hubby and our 2 friends going with us. One is a renfest Virgin even!
and
Thank you all for the input. I am very excited!!!

P.S does anyone have a pic of one of the drinking vessels from the king's feast in the past? Just wondering what they look like

[philpot]

They have varied over the last few years, they are more like Gobblets than stiens. Some of them will not fit in the standard loop holder that you can wear on your garb, only compliant I have.

You know, I have one of those loop holders that you speak of, but I don't know why I haven't used it at all. I wear it though. Hmmm. I wonder.....

It would be nice if The Merchant Prince would have pictures of past items on their web site, but they have only owned The King's Feast for about 10 years (and the Feast has been going on for almost 30 years). Unfortunately, they might not have pictures or info on items from the distant past. I wish they would because it would be great to see how the designs have changed over the years.

I know what you mean about the variations, though, because my friend who attends the feast has at least one of the goblet style and one of the tankard style. I have a mug (tankard) strap from Rev's Armour Werx that I really like. It goes around the handle of a tankard, but probably wouldn't fit around the base of the goblets. Take a look at the link below, and the mug and goblet straps are listed under Product Catalogue / Drinking Accessories.

Here you go Angie. I've already posted this photo in another thread here, but I thought I'd post it again for you here. Although I've never been to the King's Feast, I bought a couple like this one from a local antique shop. I also found in a different shop, a few of the later King's Feast goblet type vessels like Phil has described. The goblets were made of fairly thick aluminum or pewter and had emblems on them similar to the one on the tankard shown here. All of the ones I saw were really nice looking, heavy and seemed to be well made.

Have fun at the feast!!

This one is from 2000.

[Sir Martin]

Good pic, Nuny. That's the style that will fit in the mug straps that Philpot and I have.

[AngieP]

TY Nunya for the pic and TY to all the rest of you for all your help and info. I knew I could count on you ;)

[Nunyafb]

Good pic, Nuny. That's the style that will fit in the mug straps that Philpot and I have.

Thanks Martin. I should have taken my camera in the shop with me and snapped a few photos of the goblet-style drinking vessels.


TY Nunya for the pic and TY to all the rest of you for all your help and info. I knew I could count on you ;)

You're welcome Angie. I'm glad I could help.

[Norberto]

For the last few years, they have been issuing goblet style drinking vessels.

[Sir Martin]

Even if you don't attend the Feast, you can visit their gift shoppe located next to the Prince Of Wales Pub. I think they have tankards from a few different years available.

[Norberto]

Angie,

Did you sign up for the 11:00 or 1:00 at the King's Feast?

[Sir Martin]

The 2008 menu is now up on the Merchant Prince's web site if you want to check it out.

Angie, after looking at the seating map, you're going to find that table 23 is an excellent spot.

Again, the room is well arranged and all the tables are close to the stage.

Also, at around 6pm or so, Cristophe the Insultor has a special adults only show here in the Feast Hall. No cost and beverage service is available right in the Hall.

[Sir Martin]

The Christoph show at the Feast Hall is a good idea. Iris and Rose do their "Trainwreck" show at The Sea Devil at 5:30, but it usually isn't over at 6. There are enough people wanting to see bawdy shows at the end of the day to populate both venues quite well.

[Norberto]

Yes, Iris and Rose have a show back to back with Cristoph at the Sea Devil. I may be wrong about the time at the Feast Hall with Cristoph, but it is usually after the shows end at the Sea Devil. It may be at 6:30 or 7. He announces it at the Sea Devil show.

Iris and Rose have three shows back to back with Christoph, but they do the last one without him following. It probably works out best so that they do not overlap and he can do a solo gig at the Feast Hall. Smart thinking on management's part. There is still time for people to make it to the fireworks afterward.

[Sir Martin]

I just checked and they do the same thing at Scarby ... Iris & Rose have 4 shows and Christoph has 3 on the same stage. Maybe Ottheinrich can tell us if he does a late afternoon show somewhere else on the grounds up there.

I haven't heard anything Philpot, but for the most part, the Merchant Prince does not publish or announce the specifics of exactly what the show will consist of. You'll have most of the big names come in for a quick short version of their acts/show. I&R, Cristophe, belly dancers ;), etc.

Congrats m' Lady. I am sure you will enjoy it very much. A special occasion indeed. And, be sure to go with an empty stomach.

I don't know about Lady Lesley and her husband but me and mine plan on fasting the day before feast and building up a good hearty appetite. Alas my hubby will still manage to eat waaay more than I will, but I will give it my all and not eat after that for 3 days. :)

I'm pretty well going to be at the limits of my budget for this year, but perhaps next year enough of us might get together and attend the King's Feast on the same day? It would be even more fun with several people you know.

[LADY LESLEY]

Ordered My Tickets Today We Will Be Going To The 11am Feast On The I6th Of Nov Can't Wait Huzzah

[AngieP]

Congrats on ordering you tickets...now you just have to wait to get them in the mail. i waited impatiently by the mail box for their delivery.

[Sir Martin]

Angie ... I hope you and Lady Lesley have great weather the weekend you go. Enjoy the Feast!

[Norberto]

Have fun Ladies. I'm sure you will enjoy the great food as well as the entertainment.

Lady Lesley, if you are attending Nov 16th at 11am, wear something warm. At times, it could be cooler in the mornings and warm up later in the afternoon, but the Feast Hall can be a fridge during cool weather. I have noticed it is quite cool during warm/hot days, but it is very chilly during the colder days. Combination of wooden building and tumbled granite floors most probably contribute to this.

Thankyou For The Info I Am Planning On Wearing A Court Dress So That Will Help, But I Will Take A Shawl As Well
When I Ordered My Tickets Today I Found Out You Could Pick Your Seats,that Was A Shock To Me I Thought They Just Put You Where Ever

A shawl is an excellent idea m' Lady.

Yes, there is a seating map/chart on the texrenfest.com site under Kings Feast, then Seating Chart. Find your seat# there, and that will give you an idea of where you are situated in the Hall. Also, do not be discouraged by the seating chart if your seat# does not look to be pleasing or practical. The Hall is organized in a way where everyone can enjoy the show and share the private and pampered experience.

We Are Right In The Front Table 12 Seats 5 And 6
Can We Take Pictures In There?
I Forgot To Ask When I Ordered My Tickets

[Sir Martin]

We Are Right In The Front Table 12 Seats 5 And 6
Can We Take Pictures In There?
I Forgot To Ask When I Ordered My Tickets

Yes, you can take pictures of the people and the performance in the Feast Hall. I haven't actually *seen* any yet, but I talked with one of the Merchant Prince employees last year and it is allowed. Who knows ... maybe people are enjoying the show so much they don't think about it.

[Sir Martin]

I just called The Merchant Prince to clarify a few things. A nice lady there verified that it is perfectly OK to take photos in the Feast Hall.

Several performers will make their way through the hall on a regular basis, but the Duchess Spendalot and her companions are the main characters in the show. Do expect to see gypsies and The Pirates at some, if not all performances.

The Feast Hall is not air conditioned. Although I've never attended a King's Feast, I walked back into the Feast Hall on a hot day last year with one of the Merchant Prince employees. It was very cool compared to the outside temperature. I believe the youg lady said The Feast Hall has 6 cooling fans and an exhaust fan that lower the temperature significantly. POW next door has A/C, so maybe that is where the confusion came in.

They have been using a souvenir mug made of ceramic for the past several years. These mugs are hand-made by a potter who has a shoppe at TRF.

Thakyou So Much Sir Martin For The Info The Closer It Get The More I Get Excited

[Norberto]

To Sir Martin's point, it is very easy to get caught up in the show that you do not have the time to pick up the camera during peak moments persay. Remember, you will always have your goblet full of your drink of choice, your plate will always have food from their 5 course meal, and you will make sure you do not miss any of the rules the Feast host has warned about.

I will not ruin the Kings Feast by telling you now, but I assure you, pay attention!! You do not want to be one of the unlucky souls! :D

Omg What Are The Rules I Better Give Richard A Running Shot

[Norberto]

Omg What Are The Rules I Better Give Richard A Running Shot

LOL! Don't worry m' Lady. You'll do just fine....just pay attention to the rules at the start of the Feast. I don't want to tell you and ruin it for everyone. :D

[Sir Martin]

Thakyou So Much Sir Martin For The Info The Closer It Get The More I Get Excited

Me too, Lady Lesley, and I'm going to go ahead and plan on attending The Feast next year. Hopefully on a day when other Dragon's Questers can be there.

[Sir Martin]

I will not ruin the Kings Feast by telling you now, but I assure you, pay attention!! You do not want to be one of the unlucky souls! :D

Sounds like they may have "borrowed" that strategy from Ded Bob. ;)

[Norberto]

Sounds like they may have "borrowed" that strategy from Ded Bob. ;)

Perhaps, but it's a good way of keeping everybody's attention and assuring proper table etiquette. It is a King's Feast, therefore we should not eat like barbarians. (specifically talking to Nuny out of the corner of my mouth)

[Sir Martin]

Sounds like The King's Feast is a tad more civilized than the way they do it at other feasting events. I went to Medieval Times a few years ago and they served the food without utensils. Of course, New Market Village is set in the 16th century and Medieval Times is a few hundred years before that. :)

[philpot]

Sir Martin you may have something there.

I can not image the things that would go on if this group got together at the Kings Feast.

OMG

You are correct Sir Martin. Same thing at the Tournament of Kings at the Excalibur in Las Vegas. Kings Feast is a bit more civilized.

[Norberto]

Sir Martin you may have something there.

OMG

Philpot, you're not kidding! I hadn't thought about that, but it would be a wild ride indeed! :eek:

[Norberto]

Silverware? I don't need no stinking silverware!;)

Nuny, what are you worried about? You never use silverware or utensils anyway, remember?

[Nunyafb]

Mmmmmm, food good!!!!! (said in neanderthal voice)

[Sir Martin]

You are correct Sir Martin. Same thing at the Tournament of Kings at the Excalibur in Las Vegas. Kings Feast is a bit more civilized.

Ah yes ... I got to see that in the summer of 1991 (we didn't stay at the Excalibur, but it was a fun place to visit for ren-minded folks). Glad to see it is still going strong. There is jousting (along with various skill contests among the knights), magic and a bit of falconry. Jolly good show indeed!

[Sir Martin]

I can not image the things that would go on if this group got together at the Kings Feast.

We could probably manage to not get kicked out. :D I think it might be a fun thing to try to plan on next year.

[philpot]

Just barely, good Sir. LOL!

Speaking of getting kicked out of pubs and such, where's Rapier?? :eek:

You've been to one??!!! :eek: SSshhhhhh!!!!!

Been there the last 5 years . . .

Yea I am almost as old as Nuny

I already heard. I can't believe it!!!

Did he tell you how old I was?

Nope, but you can PM me!

[Norberto]

Nope, but you can PM me!

Done........ ;)

[Sir Martin]

I swear I thought Nuny was a youngster ... I don't mean that in a bad way, of course because I generally think of all of us as just big kids. :)

How true! I've got to check it out one of these years. (It IS a pretty good deal)

[Sir Martin]

How true! I've got to check it out one of these years. (It IS a pretty good deal)

I'll put some aside for King's Feast next year. I've got the budget pretty much set for this year ... of course, I'll have a few extra shillings to spend if Nancy runs me out of Noble House before I can buy something. :D

[Norberto]

EEEEK run!! Hide!!! I'll be behind superbert!

I'll protect you m' Lady. I'll be wearing my lucky pajamas and lucky cape.

Remember,

1. Do not look into her eyes. You may turn into stone or dust.
2. Hold very still when she is facing in our direction. Their vision is based on movement.
3. I'll have holy water and garlic. We should be ok.

[Sir Martin]

Yeah, I think there's a few of us here that should be watching our backs at TRF. Especially after the pinning ceremony when Nancy will be able to put some faces with the names.:eek:

I don't think Nancy will be able to attend the pinning ceremony. There are far too many customers at Noble House for her to be able to leave for something of this nature. If she showed up for the pinning ceremony, it might look like she had abandoned her post at Noble House. :rolleyes:

Speaking of getting kicked out of pubs and such, where's Rapier?? :eek:

Right here. Had to sneak in under cover of night. ;) Not really, just been kind of busy. I haven't left or been kicked out (knock on skull), and if I do it won't be quietly. :D

Sounds like an excellent idea! Let's remember to set it up.

I'm not sitting next to Nuny though. They serve meat and lots of it. You liable of losing a limb! :eek:

(We'll probably get kicked out too)

Two to three feet on either side should be far enough to sit safely next to me.

[Norberto]

Two to three feet on either side should be far enough to sit safely next to me.

Oh well, at least it's not the whole limb. :(

[Nunyafb]

Nuny, do you think you can act civilized and eat like an erect human (his back!) just one day out of the year?

Probably so. Once I've had enough beer, I pretty much start walking erect and act way more civilized. Of course if I get too much beer, I've been told that I revert back to my regular Neanderthal self.;)

[Norberto]

That means no. We're going to get kicked out! Never mind.

[Nunyafb]

That means no. We're going to get kicked out! Never mind.

It would be a very special occasion, so I'm pretty sure I could pull it off. There's usually a few warning signs (drooling, growling, walking around on knuckles, etc.) before I revert back to my feral self anyway, so if anyone happened to notice, I could probably be dragged out of there before anything terrible happened.

[Nunyafb]

The real bad part is that he does not always use his hands

(bad mental picture, don't dwell on it)

I've met her and she's pretty tasty!:D

(I'm talking about the beverage)

Yeah, right.

I do not.

[Unless you are very pretty and ask very nicely.]

That is correct, because the first day I had to go buy the ingredients. Can't make beer without the ingredients. Defalco's, here I come.

Defalco's is one cool store. Brewers heaven it is!:D

Well lets hope he washes whatever he does that with.

De Falco's is a very cool store. You may inspire me to get back into jr. beer making.

[Rapier Half-Wit]

I wake every morning, face the east (because Defalco's is east of here) and speak the holy words, 'Bass, Newcastle, Chimay. Praise St. Arnold.'

Don't talk to Rapier about "jr. beer making"!!! He doesn't believe in that!!! :eek:

Hey! The only thing twisted about me is my mind...wait...that didn't come out right. I meant to say 'my mustache'...I did too.

[Rapier Half-Wit]

There's nothing wrong with Jr's making beer. I'm a 3rd, and I make beer. If my father made beer, he'd be a Jr making beer.

I thought so!

Oh ok, good. I thought you were going to take that as "Elementary" or Beginners beer making. Whew!!!

So have I and most of us on here. What kind of Port do you like?

[crptarna]

Hallabeerya!! I love that!! Never heard it before. I guess I am new

[Norberto]

He likes the ones with yachts and nice restaurants.

[Rapier Half-Wit]

too...as well...

[Rapier Half-Wit]

In the Mediteranian, where clothing is optional.

Ok, so far I'm getting that the words Whipped cream, Ice cream, duct tape, tongue, and now port are words that can get one into trouble. I am sure that the list is much, much longer. Right?

[philpot]

Broadbent is the label I like.


Watch how much fun they have with this one . . .

There are a few ice cream toppings you need to stay away from, like crushed pixies and faries.

That's why I don't take baths, but showers. Refraction!!!

I'll have to try that Port. I have had some really good ones in California. Love the wine country. I will not use pixies or faries on my ice cream, it's not nice. This should be interesting.
