I've used an axe many times, and I even have all of my limbs and digits!
Mostly I was objecting to the notion that a blunt weapon was somehow better at damaging someone through armor. I can agree that a club is easier to wield than an axe.
It's more that a club has a better chance of delivering its force than an axe does.
Battle axes and swords with heavy chopping blades where the weight is distributed towards the tip are anti-chainmail inventions. They are next to useless against plate but were easily capable of cleaving through the fairly low quality iron mail used throughout europe. Against chainmail, a good axe has a signifigant advantage over a club of the same weight.
I'm sorry but most renfaire chicks are more bovine than defined.
Yeah the corset is there for its intended purpose, to make the chick look slimmer than she is. And much like putting pepper on shit, it does nothing to the overal astethic.
It is not a stereotype if it is true. I've been going to the ATL Renfaire for a few years now and let me tell you, the black knight has less to worry about than the funnelcake booth.

I thought we were arguing about plate mail, which is the deflectingist mofo in town.

Worry? Man brothers are in love there, nothing but fat white women! It's better than going to an old country buffet.

Oh, yeah. Indeed an axe or a club is not what you want to be holding in close combat against someone in good quality plate. What you want is a brace of pistols or a musket costing a tiny fraction of what that sucker paid for his armor.
Biggest lie I've read today? That people who would watch Dollhouse do something on friday nights...
I raid in WoW.
...that's not really the kind of thing you were talking about, is it?
Well I meant something that takes them out of the house. "Oh man I go clubbing, to bars etc." It's total bullshit the neckbeards stay at home and claim they were busy.

Pretty easy, right? There are still people who believe in the myth though.
It was far more political maneuvering than most people seem to understand.

Passer, put on the damn corset and post a picture god damnit. Nobody cares about what's in your head.
Oh, I get you.
I too only saw it once. But it was enough to sear my brain forever.
The same someone?

Brilliant.
Thank god, you made it up.

Oh god!
I don't understand the myth :?

Many SCA enthusiasts do serious research into their costumes and characters and are usually very well educated on a variety of different periods.

Geography wasn't the right word but this is what I meant. Perhaps world history.

Good. Guard your innocence.
I don't own any. Even if I did, you're not special enough to see me in it. :P

I really hate the ones who just get their ideas of the Ren period from a goddamn fantasy novel though.
So they are intelligent in the same way that a ten year old that really loves pokemans is intelligent.

Ech, yeah. Unless it's a historical novel, then it's a little more tolerable. Still, I'd rather have someone who went directly to the histories.

Ugh, I've done the sitting there part. It sucks.
Stylized "period" dress is much better. I PREFER the fantasy costumes.
Well all the drinking is the issue.

It would be really nice to see Ren Faires that actually focused on what made the Ren special.
Usually people are instead trying to look like they're from the dark ages as depicted by Saturday Morning Cartoons.
Nah.
