When my hair is short it is so hard to get it past the shoulder stage.  I feel like it looks like a mullet.  Now it is to the middle of my back.  I'm going to grow it to my butt and then cut if off and donate it to a certain fat goth boy we know so he can wear it when he goes bald.

Some of you are either being dickheads, are ignorant, stupid, or all of the above. So I'll show you the difference.

This is LARP. Fantasy nerds in costume.


Someone reads a story while they act it out.


This is SCA. Real people, real armor, real pain, even with armor on. No foam swords.

Would a foam LARP sword scar that shield like that?

Sieges are pandemonium. No script.

The long sticks in the back are 2" rattan with a rubber head. You take a spear thrust to the head, even with a 14ga steel helm on, you're going out for a few seconds and waking up with 5 guys stepping on your guts. Fun!

No more questions, just STFU.

No you aren't.

On a somewhat related note, there's a very large Brunswick Zone near where I used to live. Nick and Mello have both been there bowling with me for moonlight bowling and it's always a blast.

So anyway, on Wednesday nights there's some LARP group that meets there and hangs out in the fireplace lounge by the bar. As near as I can tell it's like some post-apocalyptic / elizibethian vampire thing. Nobody runs around shrieking lightening bolt or anything like that. They mostly mill around in groups of three or four staring each other down and looking like they're plotting against one another. Lame.

Really, I just think it's an excuse for the fat chicks to dress like sluts and get their asses kissed by the uber-nerds who are trying to one up each other with their pseudo mad max costumes.

So what I REALLY want to do is to orchestrate and video tape a little mind fuck. Imagine this scene...

The LARP freaks are staring each other down and trying to get laid when from out of nowhere about a dozen pirates walk in and start harassing them. Then, a bunch of ninja appear from out of nowhere and a battle ensues.

THEN, Chuck Norris appears, and the ninjas and pirates flee in terror. Chuck then strides off into the sunset.

That would be awesome.

i was really hoping there would be ninjas in that story.

i think maybe chuck norris should be in full walker, texas ranger gear, though. just so you can round the whole thing out with cowboy.

Yeah, I agree. I was originally thinking karate pants wearing Norris, but a couple of weeks ago I came to the conclusion that Walker Norris would be the shit.

But wearing corpse paint and wearing homo-erotic leather outfits covered in nails and pretending that you kill people is totally cool though, right?

No, actually, it's the same.  I just like the music.  I think dress up is ghey, be it LARPing or BM.

Nice backtrack.

It says a lot about a society that our natural human blood lust is sublimated into activities as hilarious as this when in actuality we should just be rampaging around unchecked decapitating our enemies and thus dually solving the problem of global overpopulation and resource scarcity.

1) I think that people are inherently violent and destructive.
2) Modern society has curbed this tendency in us to the extreme.

3) What results is stuff like Live Action Roleplay and whatever SCA stands for, people cannot turn off their violent and competitive natures so they channel them into other activities like pretending to be knights and punching each other with rubber mallets -or- dressing up in black/gold and white/purple and hitting each other for 60 minutes while chasing a tightly wound leather ball.  To each their own.

4) These modern ways of artificially sublimating human aggression are preventing natural human conflict and so large populations continue to grow unchecked until eventually there is not enough left for any of us.

Also I've spent too many thousands of hours reading about human history and social/government policy and my view of the world is pretty cynical.

Cavemen bashed each others heads in with rocks.

10000 years later.

Modern human beings are no different, except their desire to bash each others skulls in are repressed by the societies in which they live.

Thus, they engage in retarded activities like fantasy role playing, football, and counterstrike -- in order to stimulate their primal desire for violence in lieu of the real thing which is no longer socially acceptable.

But violence and war have always served a purpose, because human beings in themselves are not valuable at all to earth, and their natural ability to decimate one another has for several thousand years been an excellent check on overburdening their environments.  Remove that check and they devastate their own habitat.  Humans are the top of the food chain and they are their own only predator.  Without allowing them to predate one another humans just replicate en masse until everyone is starving, or the lands they needed for the growing of food are ravaged by over-use.

Damn Straight !

Actually this is only an expression of the sports mentality most people seem to be laboring under.
But at least in this context the people who would otherwise be positioned in front of every TV game imaginable actually get the fuck out and conflict with each other. It's a more healthy outlet imo.

LARP: A bunch of sad losers dress up like people from a thousand years ago to pretend that they're ignorant, smelly jackasses living in an escapist fantasy world without electricity or plumbing that they wouldn't survive for five seconds in if they were actually there.

SCA: A bunch of sad losers dress up like people from a thousand years ago to pretend that they're ignorant, smelly jackasses living in an escapist fantasy world without electricity or plumbing that they wouldn't survive for five seconds in if they were actually there.

I see no difference between the two, really.  Except the SCA guys probably whine a lot more when something's inaccurate or someone accidentally gets hurt.
No one mourns the wicked.
