I've seen things similar to this in the SCA.

Thinking a bit more about childhood reading: my dad read The Hobbit to me as a bedtime story. I know it had an impact - f'rinstance, I always got marked down on spelling tests because I'd write "grey".

Last night, I started reading The Hobbit to the wife as a bedtime story. This time 'round, though, we've both read it many times before - but it's still right before my bedtime.

My dad read Mark Twain (Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn), Roald Dahl (James & the Giant Peach, Charlie & the Chocolate Factory), Jack London (Call of the Wild (http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/call/), White Fang) and Farley Mowat (Never Cry Wolf, The Dog Who Wouldn't Be, Owls in the Family)...

I'm not sure, really, what that says about me.

I've *been* that person in the SCA. Sort of. I really, really liked Alaska when I went up there for the reign.

Heh. Didn't realize this was the follow-up panel. I was referring to the one just before it.

(I didn't make anybody anything unexpected while I was up there, although I did get a sneak-attack attempt to convince me to make someone a Laurel. That went down like a lead balloon.)

Beer never works anyway. Nasty hopsses. Now, if someone had offered a cider....

*snort* In my Kingdom you had to fetch me an army to get a Dukedom. You could barely break into the petty nobility for a beer. Other than that, it was pretty much just like the cartoon.

I've seen someone given an AA for fetching the king a beer. Two, actually.
