Brain Debris....

So, what's running through my head this morning (in between all the crazy people - oi!)

1. Possible new project (or rather, an adjunct to current costuming stuff and website) - Visual dictionary of Dutch costuming terms. As I finish things, take a picture and post it with the Dutch word for it.

2. I really need to get back to work on the bequests - now that I have a laptop and can sit and do them in comfort.

3. What does anybody know about the little bunch in the SCA who refers to themselves as "Group W Bench."? I have some opinions of my own, based on what I know about at least one of them. Curious to what else others are aware of.

4. Costuming podcast?

5. SCA truism #496 - The squeaky wheel gets the grease. There are umpteen "local" fighter practices organized based on the convenience of the whiniest members. "Issues" keep getting raised that are the grinding axe of a few vocal folks, in spite of repeated demonstration that the majority disagrees. One person can shout down a good idea just because they're so obnoxious, no one will stare them down. Tired of this. Expect battle armour to be donned, shortly.

Ah. John points out that, aside from the song, that slang would also refer to those who admitted to homosexuality on the draft line. So, possibly more just a more forceful group.

though because the Guthrie reference was towards something rather negative, I'd imagine that slang wouldn't exactly be fitting for an SCA group


interesting though, I wasn't aware of the other reference
