What is the relationship between these various activities and the much-loved Renaissance Fairs we enjoy so much here in the USA?
On a less serious note, here is an article that was purported to be from the Seattle Goth-Intelligencer (do not read if you are easily offended):
Local Vandal Draws Crowds at Renaissance Fair

The annual Seattle Renaissance Festival is recognised for excellent exhibits and the rare opportunity for the general public to see the nerds and goths of Seattle strut their stuff.
But in this year's Festival, a new breed of exhibitor has arisen. Notable amongst them is local vandal Studly Hungwell, previously noted in this column for the abnormally small size of his peepee.
Mr Hungwell, dressed entirely in form-fitting elasticised black suede, entertained hundreds of visitors to his exhibit on puppy molestation. Many of his visitors were cats, mewing with appreciation but relieved that they were this week enjoying a rest from Mr Hungwell's attentions themselves.
Others amongst the milling crowd were dog cobreeders and puppylovers of all ages, eager to benefit from the tips and demonstrations of the self-proclaimed "Master of Molestation".
"We were excited to hear that Studly has moved on from his theme of previous years," said a Festival spokesperson, "Crowds at Studly's rat-sucking booth have dwindled in the past two years, and this new perversion is just the shot in the arm that local goth and vandal culture needs." |
