SC - re: FAQ

[kat]

     You know, I'm damnned glad feasts are not sold by the weight of the 
     eator.  I couldn't afford to sit to table.  OTOH, I have seen skinny 
     little petite folks (men and women) eat what seems to be extraordinary 
     amounts of food, and never gain a pound, I might add.  I will always 
     try a taste of everything, but if I don't care for the dish, someone 
     else gets the rest of my planned portion.  I did make a pig of myself 
     on some braised cabbage served, IIRC at Wiesenfeuer last month.  I 
     know I ate someone else's share.  (BTW, I meant to ask for that 
     recipe, if anyone from Wiesenfeuer (OKC, OK) is lurking. 
     Leanna of Sparrowhaven; no lady when it came to that cabbage :-)!

        I certainly see a 19 or 18 year old in every way an adult but I can
I don't
        feel that it would be unreasonable to define a child as someone
under legal
        age for adulthood (e.g. 17 and under) as a child for event purposes.

        I don't have a problem with this.  It seems to me that if we have to 
        fill out the minor waiver, we should be able to get less than adult 
        prices for these smaller individulas.

HOLD IT!!!  Since when is the average 17-year-old smaller than an average 
adult?  Now, I may be an exception, as I am the size of an average 10-12 
year old (based upon some hand-me-down garb I own, given my friends when 
their children outgrew it, and my casual clothing, bought often as not in 
the children's section).  HOWEVER, when my brother was 16 and in a growth 
spurt, he ate as much as my parents, combined.  (I was off at college and 
they were putting on weight thinking they had not eaten enough!)
     
If we are going to price feast by the amount we assume the person will eat, 
then I DEMAND to be given feast at the children's price, as I certainly do 
not eat as much as <looking around at the list> most of you, I am sure.  But 
no, I am over the magic 17, and so I must pay the full price for a feast 
when I eat only half - yet someone's gangly sixteen-year-old, who eats TWICE 
what I do, gets away at half price?  Unfair!  Time to haul out measures and 
scales and have each person pay according to quantity, not age.  <smiling 
fiercely, YES I AM JOKING!>
     
Someone being legally underage according to the laws of the locale is one 
thing; someone having less than adult's appetite is quite another.  Please 
do NOT confuse them!
