Of course you are right. That is what makes this even funnier.

BS.
There's a chasm of difference between "Fighting to make America America again." and the title of a poem written by Harlem Renaissance poet Langston Hughes — "Let America Be America Again.".

Bull.

Another Texas sifter! Im actually less than an hour from the festival myself and I hardly ever go but always plan a trip in my head. You think there would be a lot of dirt about the eccentric owner on the web who fancies himself king of the area and supposedly he lives in a castle. I don't know how much of that is hearsay but eh whatev.


You should make it out there this year. It is a must see/do experience. Over 50 acres of things to do and see. Live jousting, music, magic, animal shows (the falcon show is awesome), things for kids, lots of beer and cleavage, great fair food (smoked turkey legs are a must), even live blacksmithing and glassblowing. There are a lot of people dressed up in period garb and everyone is generally pleasant. It can get crowded and if there is any rain there is mud galore, but it really is a trip back in time.

You may even catch a medieval wedding in the old chapel or the royal procession making its way through the streets, fake king and queen with a full court in tow.

My wife got "abducted" by barbarians one year. They just grabbed her and threw her over their shoulder. I had to "fight" a big, shirtless barbarian with two-handed swords to get her back. Random, but very fun.

The Texas Ren Fair is one of the coolest experiences. I have gone every year for the last 15 years at least.
It is only about 2 hours from my house.

The song is "The Gael", by Dougie MacLean.


Eh, it seems closer to the adaptation used in Last of the Mohicans.
Compare, "The Gael" by Dougie MacLean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v8pM7cHrT8
Last of the Mohicans: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygNuRpwZqRU

Notably, at 2:30 in the Last of the Mohicans theme, a second melody is used on top of the repeating motif. In this video, the violinist also starts playing that part at 2:30. No such melody appears in "The Gael". But perhaps there are multiple versions of "The Gael".

Yeah, man! Sift that

On the "Renaissance Fair" scale:

Song: modern
Instruments: modern
Clothing: pure fantasy - "Lord Of The Rings prostitute" meets "Jack Sparrow"

Rating: perfect fit for a renaissance fair.

I think I have to wear a Mr. Spock costume for that.

Here some more info copied from it dupe:

"From YT: A great English icon visited an Aussie one when Stephen Fry came to the Sydney Opera House to discuss travel, language, the three W's (Wilde, Waugh and Wodehouse) and everything in between, in a 90 minute talk-fest. The night involved a cracking 45 minute chat by Fry and then a 45 minute Q&A with First Tuesday Book Club's Jennifer Byrne.

A true polymath and the epitome of a Renaissance Man, Stephen Fry is a natural treasure in his native land of England. A writer, presenter, social commentator, satirist, actor and TV personality, Fry's diverse interests and enthusiasms have seen him become one of a small handful of global cultural figures who have a significant presence in every form of media; radio, TV, film, print and online.

Better known for playing the lead in the film Wilde, Fry was Melchett in the Blackadder television series and is the host of the ABC TV quiz show, QI. He also presented the television series Stephen Fry In America, which saw him travelling across all 50 U.S. States in a London cab.

Apart from his work in television, Fry has contributed columns and articles for newspapers and magazines, and has written four novels and an autobiography, Moab Is My Washpot and appears frequently on BBC Radio.

Fry wields considerable influence through his use of the social networking site Twitter and is frequently asked to promote various charities and causes, often inadvertently causing the host website to crash due to the sheer volume of traffic generated by his large number of followers."

Loughner was NOT linked to AR.

Turns out the DHS memo was fabricated and disseminated by FOX News.

Loughner was linked to a website called American Renaissance, which describes itself as such: "A conservative monthly publication. Promotes a variety of white racial positions."
He was clearly nuts, tho. If he hadn't carried out a political assassination, he would have probably found another excuse to act out his insanity.
