Considering I've been on an SCA sabbatical for more than six months now, this ain't so bad...
Your result for The hardcore SCA Test...
The Lord or Lady
You scored 42% hardcore SCA!
You really enjoy the SCA and like to go to events when you can. However it doesn't take over you life or anything. You've probably got an AOA or will have one soon. Sometimes folks wonder where you've been when you make it back to a meeting or event.
Why do you suck? Because you do not have action figures.
I was going through some files and came across this picture I've been meaning to post. It's our Birds of Death action figures, custom crafted by our fearsome leader, The Chief.

The first recorded use of the word "nerd" was in Dr. Suess' 1950 book If I Ran the Zoo. The narrator, Gerald McGrew, claims he would collect "a nerkle, a nerd, and a seersucker too."
For the record, I have not done any of the three things that Zanie posted.
The Challenge:
* Post 3 things you've done in your lifetime that you don't think anybody else on your friends list has done. * See if anybody else responds with "I've done that." If they have, you need to add another! (2.b., 2.c., etc...) * Have your friends cut & paste this into their journal to see what unique things they've done in their life.
My three things... have you ever...
1 - Stood on the summit of a mountain above tree line completely naked? 2 - Wore the same space suit that Neil Armstrong wore when he walked on the moon? 3 - Petted sharks while scuba diving?
I've been using my step-dad's computer for internets, but his modem is screwed up thanks to an Earthlink customer service tech who thought it would be more helpful to give him a bunch of bogus modem settings rather than tell him that his access number has changed. Now he's changing ISPs, but that won't happen until he gets back from Russia.
An American Democrat and a Russian Communist Party member are sitting in a bar discussing their home countries. The American says, "My country is great. I am free to go to Washington, stand in front of the White House, and hold up a sign that says GEORGE BUSH SUCKS DONKEY BALLS without fear of being arrested." The Russian says, "My country is also great, because I too am free to go to Washington, stand in front of the White House, and hold up a sign that says GEORGE BUSH SUCKS DONKEY BALLS without fear of being arrested."
"The International Olympic Committee announced yesterday that Chicago, Madrid, Rio de Janeiro, and Tokyo were selected as the candidate cities for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.
Tokyo topped the technical evaluation report, scoring 8.3 out of 10. Madrid and Chicago follow with 8.1 and 7.0, respectively. Rio squeaked past the 6.0 cut-off with a score of 6.5.
Doha, despite scoring higher than Rio at 6.9, was not included in the short list. The IOC explained that Doha's population and proposed October staging of the Games are the main reasons why it was not shortlisted.
Prague and Baku received 5.3 and 4.3 scores in the technical evaluation, respectively."
On a personal note, the one good thing about having to miss Pennsic War this year is I will be able to watch all of the Olympics.
The Peace Symbol is a combined representation of the semophoric signals for "N" and "D." In semaphore, the letter "N" is formed by a person holding two flags in an upside-down "V," and the letter "D" is formed by holding one flag pointed straight up and the other pointed straight down.
Together, the "ND" in the symbol is meant to stand for "Nuclear Disarmament."
