...it was pounded and turned 500 times. No school like the Old school.

I bet that kid was pounded and turned 500 times, too.

Seems like this is your neck-of-the-woods. Would love to hear your comment.

My chain-mail protects me from swords, arrows, and favorable attention from women. But I want to face the peril!

With apologies to FReeper SCAers, who are undoubtedly FAR cooler than the general run, SCAers are, for the most part, bozos. The name - the Society for Creative Anachronism - is directly at odds with what the report alleges is its purpose: "promotes research and reenactments of medieval history."
Creative anachronism and faithful re-enactment are worlds apart.
Also, the lad looks dorky beyond belief, and I'd have to reject his picture on unibrow grounds alone. He doesn't realize what a favor the administrators are doing him.
Further, chain mail (like Spandex) is a privilege, not a right.
That said, Ramius is correct - if the photo isn't deceiving, the lad is "wielding" a Starfire, which is the combat sword of choice for us fightin' actors. VERY nice sword.

In 5 years, he'll be glad that this didn't appear in the yearbook.

Well, if you want your son to remain a virgin for a long time, I think SCA is a good idea. Uhh ... guess again. They don't call it the Society for Creative Adultery without good reason.

It's said if you can't some at SCA event, then you're really hopeless. Even some of the dorkiest guys look hot in armor.
