As it is, you're right, it takes gigantic men to lift those things!<br /><br />And huzzah for Calvin and Hobbs!!Sarah Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01185278849400551014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554125151787997248.post-25444526738481090872014-10-17T12:16:40.002-07:002014-10-17T12:16:40.002-07:00Ah yes, that does sound familiar :) And thanks for...Ah yes, that does sound familiar :) And thanks for the solidarity!

The eagle...Ah, Sarah, great pictures and great fun! The eagle is magnificent and the look on your face is priceless. With regard to women jousters, it takes an incredible amount of strength to lift and hold the lance, from what I've been told, so I'm not sure a woman could do it, unless she was very strong. Just look at the size of your jouster! Never been to a Ren Fair but hope to do so soon. <br />We have a complete collection of Calvin and Hobbs.

When I turned around, he cringed and said, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Groesbeck. You looked like a kid from the back."<br /><br />I'm 32. :)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12808946203667520790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554125151787997248.post-7609823156943967262014-10-16T14:50:25.610-07:002014-10-16T14:50:25.610-07:00The jousting was amazing!

So, absolutely serious, and I'll concur on the good looks as well :) It was also in the 90's and people were in thick corsets, which I'm sure wouldn't have helped with the swooning...Sarah Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01185278849400551014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554125151787997248.post-87646544353853331462014-10-16T14:49:32.426-07:002014-10-16T14:49:32.426-07:00Every weekend??

I tried holding a savage animal to look more intimidating...but my Sophie has trouble looking savage when she's on her back begging for a tummy rub. I guess I'll have to stick with Calvin and Hobbes.
