Ye Olde Half Arsed Post

I’m half assing it again today…
I scored some free passes to the local Renaissance Festival from my work and the Lady Friend and I went and checked it out on Saturday. She had been a few times in recent years but I hadn’t been to the Renaissance Fest in at least 10 years. It was actually pretty fun.
No I didn’t wear a tunic and tights. And no the Lady Friend didn’t dress up like a beer wench. We save those outfits for the privacy of our bedroom. But yes, plenty of people were dressed up. And even some dogs. Poor little dumb animals.
We saw a couple good shows there and ate lots of great food… plus a handful of beers. A pretty good way to spend an afternoon. And now today I plan to sit on the couch and watch football all day. An even better way to spend an afternoon.
One more thing… be sure to come back on Monday for a special surprise. Something that is extremely rare. So rare that it has happened only a handful of times in the 250+ posts I have had here at TheSimpleDude.com.
I’m having a guest poster. And it’s not just any guest… it’s my favorite Aussie.
Well, my favorite Aussie AFTER Angus Young that is:
So come back tomorrow to read about my SECOND favorite Aussie!

I go every year – and I don't dress up either. I love it.

I love Aussies! And I love guest posts!
It's almost as fun writing them as it is having them on your blog. Can't wait!

Let's just say favorite "female" Aussie and that gets you off the hook! Can't wait.

We went to a ren-fest once. It was in Sioux Falls. After 3 hours of standing around waiting for stuff to happen as we stared at the neighboring waterslide park we ditched the fest rushed home to get our swimsuits and hit the waterpark. Then we ran around laughing at the poor wenches in the ren-fest.
We figured if WE can't try out the horses and stampede with that long pole trying to knock people down then what's the use? Right?
Happy football watching day dude!

Hey! I thought I was your fave Aussie. Cant wait to see who the mystery blogger who sweet taked you into a guest post is.
We used to be friends with people into the whole medieval scene. The Banquets where fun

Don't think we have Renaissance Festivals here in Aus so have never been to one……….

Never been to RenFest, though they have it every year around here. If ever I go, I want to ride an elephant. That would be awesome.

Hands down, the highlight of our trip to the Renaissance was seeing the hige fat guy wearing a gamer t-shirt, jean shorts…and a CAPE.
If you'd like to see him for yourself, we snapped a picture of him.

The biggest disappointment of the day was my husband telling me it would be inappropriate to do the bungee-cord-trampoline-sky-ride thing…because I was wearing a skirt. Jeez, I HAD undies on.
