Amtgard - Blog Posts
Congratulations! You have formed what is known in linguistics as a
blend.
This is when you take two words and smash em together, nice and squishy-like!
In your case, you have created a word that means:
glamorous garb.
We forecast this word will be especially popular in LARP and boffer combat areas!
GLARB.
Had a friend show up to swordfighting last week and when I went up to face her and some of her allies she pointed her spear at me. I had never seen this spear and it had a pink end with... Kirby's face on it? So I double blink and go "Kirby?" and then she stabs me
"were you sw-" **YES I WAS SWORDFIGHTING AGAIN**

it's hell trying to find medieval western european recipes that are 1. somewhat autism-safe, 2. don't contain nuts or other allergens, and 3. aren't some horrible food crime
though you don't have to tell me that restrictions like these completely defeat the purpose
if one is to prepare a historical meal, one must make the conscious decision to eat something completely rank, get overstimmed and die of anaphylaxis and also tastebud poisoning
Stayed up making some Amtgard kris/flame-blade boffer concepts last night for my Faustian bard... also trying to find a way to make a strike-legal lute or a similar instrument but i'm floundering :V
also a rough schematic with measurements
(i can't place why but for some reason i have a gut feeling that this is somehow not going to work the way i intend it to)
