King Arthur's a pansy compared to these folks

I got off the BART (San Francisco's subway) the other night and I was walking to my car to drive home-

Before the parking lot came into view, I heard several violently sharp noises, as if someone was hitting a hard object with a 2X4..

And sure enough, when I rounded the corner, the parking lot was full of people dressed up as medieval knights having sword fights with wooden swords, which I can only presume were originally 2X4's.

I had to chuckled to myself. Here I was, tired, and somewhat beat down from a long day at work, and then I wander upon 40 adults dressed up to the nines (medievally, of course) re-enacting a knights tale underneath the freeway in Oakland. And no camera's were rolling. Apparently, this is a weekly event on Thursday nights after 8pm.

Needless to say, this put a smile on my face. Double needless to say, I went directly to my local blacksmith (Todd), and asked him to whip me up some good 14th century armory with snazzy buckles.

There's nothing like getting medieval on someone.
