From: comac@webtv.net (Kathleen Coburn) Newsgroups: rec.org.sca You know you're in the SCA when you're watching the Men's Long Program in skating and notice that Phillipe Candeloro's costume includes a sword loop hanging from the belt. Appropriate as he was skating to "D'Artanyon" from "The Three Musketeers". BTW, beautiful Cavalier costume - including hat.

From: steinen@mindspring.com (Bill Steinen) You know you're in the SCA when... After months of saving money by living on Ramen noodles and twenty cent frozen burritos you finally have enough to replace your 1984 Escort that won't go more than five miles with a new pickup truck... And no matter how reasonable you try to be about it your foremost thought is "Yes! Now I can go to more events!"

The salesman thought I was odd, but then again I don't think he could ever be able to grasp just how odd I can be. At least I didn't go shopping for a car wearing a big scary dress and a cloak to see if I could get it in the car, shut the door and still drive. And yes, the nine foot pole does fit! Catriona
