[ANSTHRLD] Project "Whiny Butt"

[Irena Fridenberg]

When I first started the SCA I was on crutches for about 3 maybe 4 events
(complete with flashlights duck taped to them so I could see where I was
going).
Some guy, about my 6th event wanted to know where "Ren the Gimp" was.  That
name kind of latched on.  I decided to look up the work Gimp and found it
was an
actual name "la escolpiera" in French during the 1500's.  You might want to
take
that approach!
