You have been into (insert weapon/armour related hobby here) too long when...
SirNathanQ:
You can also tell you have been into this too long when the most important talk you have with your children concerning their safety isn't the "Gun" talk, but the bladed weapon/polearm talk.....
SirNathanQ:
Haha, Robert, I actually do keep referring to the 15th century as "My period" by habit
Some more from the original thread...
When the main reason you worry about gaining weight is that your armour won't fit anymore.
When doing curls at the gym you worry about just exactly how big are the sleeves of your hauberk.
When daydreaming on public transport you go through all the different combinations of armour pieces you could wear from lightly armoured to piling on every piece you could possibly put on at the same time.
When one of your checked bags is always a long aluminum case... or two. (this one's fun at the airport!)
When your "first aid" kit contains rivets, buckles, spare leather straps, a small anvil...
When the UPS guy hangs around for you to open the long white box.
When you wander to the football/lacrosse section of the sporting goods store to check out the articulation of athletic protective gear.
When you see the Budweiser Clydesdales, and think they'd be better off in barding than pulling a beer cart.
When your daughter's boyfriend comes over for the first time, and instead of cleaning guns, you're oiling a sword.
When the arms and armour collection gets the master bedroom.
When you head out to the yard, armed and armoured, and the neighbors just wave, completely unphased.
When you instinctively try the balance and swing of every long object in your vicinity.
-when you can be heard discussing hand-stitching with your mates over a beer at the pub.
-You use your helmet when it rains, because it's waterproof.
-Your buy a shock proof cell phone, so you won't have to take it out of your pocket when you fight.
-The most fun part of RPGs is making fun of the weapons list and combat system.
and of course:
When the Zombies first appear, and everyone else runs of in panic, you fall to your knees, raise your hands towards the heavens, and go "YES! YES! YES!!!!!"
When you vacuum in the Plow-stance
When you see pointy, unlaced womens-shoes and actually consider
wearing them, as a cheap alternative to turn-shoes.
When Vivaldi and Bach is modern music that feels too "new".
When parks and meadows are since long not a place for
rest and recreation but for armoured violence.
When you use the proverb "there is no time like the past".
My personal favorite from that thread has been: "When parks and meadows are long since not a place for
rest and recreation but for armoured violence."
Sir Wolf:
heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey that weight thing isnt funny! hehehe
Sir James A:
"When the main reason you worry about gaining weight is that your armour won't fit anymore."
With how long most commissions take, that's my primary concern!
Sir William:
Unfortunately for me, it is also a concern (the gaining/losing of weight). lol
