> Well, it's definite -- I won't be able to make BG XXX. So here is the song I can't enter in the bardic competition. (It is easily documentable to the period, being a filk to the tune of "Our Seneschal's Fault".)
> 
> Thin unlined dresses and fur-lined bikinis,
> Feasts where the main course is just beans and wienies,
> Soup made from whatever anyone brings,
> These were a few of our seventies things.
> 
> Laurels in dresses of fine polyester,
> Sci-fi personas from Heinlein and Bester,
> "Old Time Religion" that everyone sings,
> These were a few of our seventies things.
> 
> Surrounding our listfields with tarps made of plastic,
> Think "creative" means mod and fantastic,
> Foils whose quillons are tied on with strings,
> These were a few of our seventies things.
> 
> When the feast's bad, when there's bad kings, 
> When the court's too long,
> I simply remember our seventies things,
> And wonder when all went wrong.

> Lords chasing Tessa like so many ducklings,
> Big heavy fighters who sneered at swashbuckling,
> Ren Fair and all of the money it brings,
> These were a few of our seventies things.
> 
> Clench-a-wench contests and skylarking Bevin
> One single court making Laurels of seven,
> Going a year without seeing the king,
> These were a few of our seventies things.
> 
> Half of us never had seen a Corpora,
> Heralds submitting the name "Ansteorra",
> Naming conventions from "Lord of the Rings".
> These were a few of our seventies things.

> When the feast's bad, when there's bad kings, 
> When the court's too long,
> I simply remember our seventies things,
> And wonder when all went wrong.
