“the swirling, festive melange of totally made-up cultures.”

I’m in heaven. Patrick Hughes has gone to a Renaissance Faire again.

I laughed out loud reading the whole thing but this comment in particular made me lose it:

“You are not a dragon. That is not a cave.”

(Here’s the post of his trip from last year, if you missed it. It’s now a ritual, apparently.)

    I know! Let’s get a closeup of that nastiness!

    Not as funny as last year… Rushed and a bit sloppy. And redundant! You’re too kind.

    Patrick – I love the close-up of Becca’s planner. With the drumstick drawing.

    You’re great.

    The Earl of Overcompensation demonstrates how they handled a mid-life crisis back in the olden days, back before they had Grecian Formula and Hummers.

    seeing that post come up in my RSS feed def. made my day.

    I am disturbing my coworkers. I now have to quit my job and leave without giving notice, for i fear mine lung has escaped mine esophagus and hangeth on my greasy mead stained doublet.

    I am not kidding, I am having trouble staying composed right now. I shall meet Patrick Hughes just outside yon portcullis at daybreak where we shall cross swords.

    His Insolence has done it again.

  8. patrick says:

    Um, I actually had to just send off my portcullis, for, like, resurfacing, or something, so, yeah… No.

  9. Brendan says:

    So sorry to hear that. I am red’s brother and your site has been cracking me up for years. forget the duel. i did have to go outside and go for a walk so i wouldn’t disturb my coworkers with my snorting.

    I’ve been sick since Sunday — and not just because the Bears shit the bed — and this was just the tonic.

    I’d squee, but my head hurts. Imagine my weak Camille-esque smile.

    I should not have looked at that post. I love, love, LOVE festival turkey legs and the pics on there are making my olfactory senses smell phantom grilled turkey leg smells, I’m salivating, and my tummy is grumbling. Damn, its gonna be a long day!!!

    Patrick is truly one of the best bloggers on the internet. His family Christmases are beyond hilarious.
