I just had to share this one with you: a filk about Lady Trude, a lady knight in the SCA (hmm, I wonder if she ever read Vixen's Keep?) who once got cornered by a nasty mugger ( Read more... )

crime, music, funny, tv tropes

The problem is just taking a quick look and avoiding spending 2-3 hours poring over it all...

"Please spare me, Duncan McLeod!" *dies of laughing*

My uncle has a similar story-- he's the bard for their Celtic club, and his neighbor is the weapon's trainer; my uncle ended up storing most of the reproduction weapons in his front closet until folks could come and pick them up.

Middle of the night, the dogs go nuts-- my uncle stumbles down stairs and grabs what he THINKS is his home-defense baseball bat before looking out the window to see two guys draining his gas tank; he goes charging out the door, bellowing.

He gets to the bottom of his deck stairs before he realizes that:
1) He wasn't wearing his boxers, because the house had been too hot
2) He's holding a *sword*, not a baseball bat-- it's dull, but not sheathed.
3) His neighbor had also been woken up-- it was the neighbor charging out with a throwing axe and a terrycloth robe that resulted in the gas-thieves setting a speed record down the block.

Ended up getting five gallons of gas and three really nice gas-cans out of the deal. ^.^

Okay, now that's a good story. And at least the crooks were thoughtful enough to leave him some free gas. XD
