A few weeks ago, the Shakespeare Theatre Company had a costume and props sale. I thought this was a perfect place to pick up cheap Elizabethan clothing and to build up a costume stock for the Delaware Shakespeare Festival of which Greg is the Managing Director. I coordinated with Greg and a few other members of the Festival and bought a bunch of things. However, as I was shopping, my Shakespeare Theatre co-workers spied my armfuls of doublets, Elizabethan collars and King Henry’s coat. They proceeded to tease me.
“Ooooh, Selena and Greg are into THAT kind of thing, eh? You guys dress up and role play?”
I responded immediately with, “Eww, that is messed up. You people are sick.”
What happened as soon as I came home with all of my new acquisitions? I put on King Henry’s coat and I loudly declared, “Methinks I will be watching ‘Lost’ now. Dost thou want to join me?” To which Greg responded, from behind the computer in jeans, t-shirt and Elizabethan ruff, “Nay Milady, I must first sup on Hamburger Helper.” Conversations continued from there, and it was endless entertainment.
If you haven’t done it yet, I now highly recommend coming home from work after a long day and changing into Elizabethan garb, cracking open a beer and watching trashy reality TV while commenting on it in loud iambic pentameter.
Very nice! I found a place where you can
make some nice extra cash secret shopping. Just go to the site below
and put in your zip to see what’s available in your area.
I made over $900 last month having fun!

This seriously irritates me about Blogger, that as the owner of the blog, I don’t have the ability to purge spam comments. The system forces you to either accept everybody or only members of Blogger, and since y’all aren’t all members of Blogger, that hurts this little community of readers, but the trade-off is crap like the above post cannot be removed.
I’m going to start looking into MovableType and the other big blogging options.
hey greg, you can delete the comments if you’re signed in (just click on the little trash can under the comment). I just got three of the same comment on mine and enabled that scrambled letter thing which i really didn’t want to do. grrrr.
so, will you two be maybe wearing this “garb” to the renn fest this year? hehe.
YES, use the scrambled letter coding you need to enter…it stopped the spammers on my site!
And BTW: that’s effing funny…”Nay Milady, I must first sup on Hamburger Helper.” I’m nearly crapping my pants with hilarity!
And look out..>LOST TONIGHT> and if you are recording…word on the street says it will run until 10:04pm…so set the recorders a little longer!
I know you guys were doing something unspeakable with those clothes. I’ve known you guys TOO long to think differently. (and I’m evil enough to insinuate that idea to complete strangers in the blogger community)
First – yes, turn on word verification. It will make your life better and foil those ye olde spammers.
Second – will you guys adopt me??? Just for like a weekend or something? I think I would giggle myself into oblivion just watching the live reaction shots to reality tv and the onward march of the coatrack and the mysterious travels of the spoonholder, all while you’re in Elizabethan garb! Love it!!! I should’ve kept my Maid Marian-esque Elizabethan hat I bought at the sale a few years ago, I’d fit right in!

What’s wrong with dressing in Elizabethan Garb? I mean, that’s not, like, weird or anything, right?
I’d go with the word verification. It’s a bit of a pain, but it’s better than reading annoying spam.
The Elizabethan talk is priceless!
Ew! I feel bad for the poor souls that will wear those costumes at Del Shakes this summer.
