[Ansteorra] "Freaking the Mundanes"

[Owen Van Meter]

How about this One:

              Went into a convience store on the way home from an event, 
still for the most part in garb. The clerk asks what the outfits were about. 
In response I told him that we were like the Revolutionary & Civil War 
re-enactors  except we did the middle ages. He then responded by saying That 
he didn't have a clue as to what "any" of that was. Must have slept through 
U.S. & world history in school - if he went at all. hopefully this a one 
time thing and not a clue as to our future as a group and country
