Medieval Times

[aadroma]

So yeah, this weekend we finally got to go to Medieval Times, and we took the ever-cute lucentnotion and meteron with us. You know what would have even been better? Had I actually, you know, remembered to bring the vouchers I got from work for the event, so we obviously ended up having to pay full price. Ignoring that hiccup, we ended up having a TON of fun there. Apparently I was the only one who hadn't been there, and when they thought about their prior trips to Medieval Times, they all said, "Wow, I appreciated this a LOT more now that I'm older." :: laugh ::

Several highlight moments included:

Kevin was getting a drink refill at the bar, and the bar wench (I guess you'd call her?) said, "... so was this the regular margarita or the strawberry one?"
If Kevin had dog ears, at this point they would have perked up. "... you have strawberry????" he asked.
"Erm ... yeah ..."
At this point Kevin gets giddy and claps his hands together. The look on the wench's face was PRICELESS.

There was the guy who was doing the dungeon tours -- an Asian guy with a thick British accent -- who apparently loved my beard and had to ask me all sorts of questions about it. Family, anyone? :: laugh ::

Upon entry, one of the men said (judging solely by our physical appearance), "... my, we have quite the motley crew here don't we!" Naw, it's just a bunch of mo-hos, but thanks just the same. ^_-

Pictures from the dungeon room, featuring all sorts of torture devices:












Jim's response? "Eh. I saw quite a bit of this at IML already."



Okay, back-story: Back in 2004, Carl and I were in San Francisco for IBR, and as we walked across the street, we found a lone paper Burger King hat discarded on the street. Carl giggled and looked at me, and responded, "The king has been DEPOSED!" Insert jokes about usurping the crown and claiming the land of Burger all to ourselves here. So as we're walking through the dungeon room we, again, find a lone paper crown on the ground. Lather, rinse, repeat. :: laugh ::






Carl insisted on wearing his crown that way for the picture -- way to go, Jughead!! :: laugh :: And despite his look, this is before he consumed mass amounts of alcohol, as the bar wench added TONS of booze to his refill. I love Kevin's serious look like he's posing for a business portrait or something. And as for Jim? Yeah, he only looks innocent.
