This blog is going to be an outlet to share my many endeavors/bad ideas. Whether it be a tale of attempting to abscond with a cement deer to learning woodcarving and carpentry. As my funds are currently non-existent it will mostly be tales of past mischief while I save up to get supplies and equipment (a digital camera for instance)

Just found this on the web to help people prepare for the Renaissance festival:


Important Elizabethan English Phrases

Stepping into the past at a Renaissance festival can be intimidating if you don't know how to speak Elizabethan English. To help, here's a list of the phrases you will most often need to use:
  • Oy, Sire, dids't thou see my missing hounds? Some knaive hast released them from their pen. They've a day's work to do and I must known who hast released my dogs. Who? Who, I ask you? Who?
  • If it were that thou didst like the wench, pray tell why not apply a ring to her?
  • My riding style is quite clean in the crop, but some rogue continues to attempt to spy me riding dirtily. Zounds!
  • Please, good sirs, say "Uhhhhhhh Nuh Nah Nuh Nah!"
