Since when do Noble Court Ladies use the phrase "wait just a cotton-picking
minute"?, oh Minowara-San?

   Besides, it IS the dark side. Ain't seen no Japanese folk in MY area!
(Could be because the Roman Army just left to go to Gaul and support the
rightful Emperor, I guess. But us Island-Empire folk should stick together
anyway, I suppose.)

(Actually, and I really do wonder this, why are more and more people
choosing to be anything but a European - and yet still want to play in the
SCA? I could understand Middle Easterners from areas that had heavy European
influxes and cultural exchanges - but India, China, even [sorry Kiri] Japan,
while feudal in some definitions, are not within our mandate, yet they're
becoming more and more popular as persona choices. Are we so used to being
"not normal" in our daily lives that being "one of the crowd" on the
weekends is no longer acceptable? Do we know so much about European cultures
that we've got a bunch of bored folk wanting more intellectual excitement?
And what does that spell for the future? At Pennsic, it's become especially
noticeable that the Europeans are becoming outnumbered by the
non-Europeans - and well, that's what I joined the SCA for - to recreate
"European cultures from the fall of the Roman Empire through the 16th
century".)
