[Sca-cooks] Getting Proactive, question for folks from the Middle

[otsisto]

I wonder if there is a copy out there of Moonwulf Starkanderson's Pennsic
Pour out there. It speaks of a woods battle and someone (brilliant
idiot)finding a hornets nest. One person was stung in the family jewels and
what I vaguely remember of the telling is that the man was to be married the
following weekend. But the story is about Pennsic 4 and that was on someones
farm.

That one IS true, except it was the Woods Battle, not the Field Battle
(a lot of hornets and ground bees up in those woods some years.) and
several gentlemen have been stung "there", and didn't have to be Scots
to accomplish it. I know for fact, because I handed the ice pack to
one poor guy, who was in full armor, with straps blocking any
reasonable access to the area (although I did not apply the ice pack
for him.)
