Come on, Vindalf, tell us what you really think about the boss. I can be pretty sure nobody at the castle ever saw this, because I was never fired.

Like seriously, what’s wrong with people who don’t have computers? Since they won’t be able to see this, we’ll never know.

Thog-blog doesn’t seem to be a real website. If I ever get money, I should fix that.

Oh yeah… I had a comic, didn’t I? Vacation is over, and I’m back to the regularly scheduled programming. Maybe next time I leave town, I’ll be smart enough to load one or two of these onto my phone… but don’t rely on me being smart.

Can you believe that to this day, some old people don’t have e-mail? I don’t know how they managed to spend the last 30 years refusing to interact with the modern world. It must take real dedication.

Gorram LARPers getting glitter all over my experimental archaeology.

The actors we had were great people, and I’m still friends with some of them on facebook. In general, actors only know what the encyclopedia and the script say about history. So many pet peeves of historians and re-enactors get passed on this way. I finally get the other tour guides straight on how medieval table manners work, and someone comes along with a whole bit about how Shakespeare uses “old english”- NO!

Not everybody spends hours reading scholarly articles for fun, I guess.

You can’t close a successful museum. A mayor can, however, make sure it’s not successful, then make it into a steakhouse.

I’m no economist, but it seems strange how large organizations and governments always have money for CEO bonuses and pensions, but not to provide the basic services properly.

They should have listened to sense and bartered for more stuff. It could have worked… if city hall played fair.

Casa Loma for a few years had a cool ren-faire. It was the best time of year because I got to wander the grounds in armour with a halberd as security.

For a time, they also had a deal with the local SCA. The SCA held their fight practices at the castle, and did special events for school groups, then got to use the castle for one of their events.

The catering department was outraged at the idea of bartering one night that they could sell for money. Eventually, the castle’s new catering company (installed by the evil mayor) dropped the agreement… and the castle sat empty because they couldn’t find customers. Actually, it got a lot more empty after the mayor started getting involved.

Where is #236? It was a highly specific reference to Aqua Teen Hunger Force’s marketing. I doubt anyone remembers the show, let alone that specific ad.

The evil robot, previously Shakespeare’s sidekick, is repaired and ready for another round!
