How do we recognize other PA members at the Classic? Do we have a secret handshake or some kind of gang sign that we flash? It will be nice to finally meet you guys in person.
-
Oh you 've opened a can of worms now I'll make pop corn. As for me I'm about 6'6" tall look like a movie star long black hair ripped abs and lots of expensive jewelry. Well not really,,,, Seriously don't worry just introduce you're self and you'll start meeting P.A. users right away. Might be a good idea to get someone to point out the P.A. folks.Ronnie A.K.A. Cracker
-
I'm not trying to open a can of anything. I just want to make sure I meet as many people as I can.
-
"Hello my name is...
JustinNC"
-
I have been to the Classic a couple of times now and recognize faces, but you don't always put the name you are introduced to with the PA handle. I am going to make a real effort to just ask both names. One thing you will find is that all you have to do to be accepted is to show up. The first time I went there a couple of the Twin Oaks fellows gave me a bow and I really didn't know who the bow was made for in the first place. Had to PM Pappy to find out who it was that gave me the bow. I think I"ll just say hello I am Joe York Wolf Watcher!

Osage I was joking I was referring to the joking that I was sure would happen through our descriptions. Ron
-
OK, if were going by descriptions, I'll be the short wide guy with the tall lanky 11 year old son next to me. Got a tattoo of a deer skull and a broken primitive arrow on my right arm.
-
Marie was talking about PA name tags. I don't know if she is just gonna use the stick on ones and let everyone write their own name on them or make some up with names on them. Maybe she'll chime in this thread.
-
well if were gonna go by descriptions
theni will be the guy who keeps to himself
and tries to avoid large groups of people
even at gatherings ;D
seriously,i dont do crowds well or for long periods at a time
-
Ha, ha, Ronnie. We sounded like lost brothers for a bit. ;D I'm not wearing some stupid a88 name tag. ::)
-
Actually my self description was a load of bull I'll be like 5'11" fat gray big ass warlord tattoo on my right leg.Cracker
-
No Way, Dude! Now I'm disappointed. :( :'(,,Hey, I have a big Dragon on my right leg, might still be hope. :D
-
All right Eddie you put on a few pounds I'll take off a few and we'll meet in the middle. By the way Eddie you gotta teach me how to cast that spell on a woman.
-
Wow!!! So many questions and choices... To be or not to be... Or should I have tea, cakes and ices??
Sorry.. A bit of rambling on Brit lit... Well, I will be the Texican with a Midwest accent from what I am told, or I might introduce myself as,
"donde estoy? Voy a tejas. Yo no hablo Inglish."
Or I will have on a Dublin Elementary School T-shirt with a lanky 7 year old with a mop of black hair.
-
Pretty much, if you show up to camp, hang out and play with bow making and chipping points, or good conversation a week or few days before the Competition starts, you are from the Web board. ;) Just introduce yourself, look at old Threads, Magazines and put the names with the faces.
-
I'll be the one with the Twin Oaks cap and I survived the 13th Classic tee shirt on
Ron
-
Eddie, it's not all that bad, just wear it for a day or so, memorize it, and throw it away, or exchange it with someone else..... ;D OOOhhh OOOhhh, you could wear your kilt, and exchange your tag with Cathy..... ;D That should part the crowd a bit! :o ;D ;D
Wayne
-
At the first Classic I went to we were on the driveway coming in and someone yelled my name. Turns out it was Jusatin Snyder, Koan and Auggie. From then on it was all down hill!
If you hang around the bow shed, knapping pit or the food area you will see everyone. Actually you can see all three areas from any one of the areas. ;D
-
This will be my first Classic and I've only met two other people from PA, I'll be easy to recognized. I'll be the guy carrying another stave to the truck. Don't be shy, just stop me and say howdy AND if inclined hand me another stave. haha
-
Pat I ant wearing no name tag,I don't care what Marie wants, :) :) :) You will get to know everyone
pretty quick, Cracker that was Eddie you was describing. ;) :) We do need to get together again this year for a picture like we did a couple of years ago.We was planing on it last year but mother nature had other plans. >:( We may need a bigger camera this year from the way it looks. May Try and do that Sat. evening before the meal[Early before everyone gets spread out again] :) :) As far as remembering names or handles I am awful at it,I had a guy one time come up to me and I thought
man what is that guys name ,then I thought O ya same name as mine and still couldn't remember his name. ;) :) :) See yall in 29 days and some a little sooner. :)
Pappy
-
Pappy, you sound so tenacious a d from the wood I have seen you turn into bows in PA mag and on here, I think you name tag should be Tenacious Pappy ;D
-
Here's a thread with most everybody's pic on it... This is the whole reason I started this thread. Hope it helps! :) :)

Should be able to recognise the PA folks from the golden halo over their heads! If that doesn't work, Marie could send everyone going a PA cap to be worn by all...that should work...maybe have their handles stenciled on the cap? :)

Hehe if you want I can bring my pink moccasins for ya to go with your kilt ;). JK
-
Pappy il have my nikon D5000 with me itl take a nice 12Mp pic for ya
-
Yeah, skyarrow, bring em. Then he can walk around with that pink bow. No, not that kind of a bow, the one he won bow of the month with. he could do like Vincent Minor, and have a tip bowl, and you could have your picture taken with him, and put a little money in the tip bowl..... ;D I have to admit, it is one heck of a bow, and the pink isn't all that bad. ;) Just not exactly a Manly colored bow. Especially if he wears his kilt. :o ::) But I don't think he will, there will be small children there, and I don't think he would want to be responsible for giving them a life time of night mares...... Mommy, it's the guy in the skirt again....... It's just a dream, dear, it's just a dream.....Dream my A$$, I seen him! He was holding a jar with some kinda water that had fumes coming off of it, and he was drooling, and his eyes, Momma you shoulda seen his eyes, they glowed!...... :o :o And he was talking sorta like Mr. McTavish, but kinda slurred...something about the loch Ness Monster..... He was coming straight for me, when that nice lady who reads all the time, walked up to him, and turned him around, and lead him away. Is he wearing her skirt Momma? ::) It's ok dear, Dr. No Gore is here with your meds.....Yep would not be a pretty sight, even for a grownup. :P

Lmao that's to funny well I'm bringing my kilt with me so eddie wont feel all alone 8) not sure if I'm going to wear it just yet first I want to see how everyone is like I know y'all don't mind if I wear it. Heck I lived in it for 8 weeks when I worked the rennassance fair the only problem I had was the drunk cougars I had to peel off me when I was on a lunch break lol my wife and my best friends mom who are best friends told me to say this to get them off me " there words" ( my wife and my girlfriend is going to kill you if you grope me again) true story ttyl

Wayne
-
I was just thinnking about getting a kilt if I had a way of finding out what the correct family plaid is I's go for it.Ron
-
Hey Ron ou don't have to get your family colors those kilts are expencive look up kommando kilts they are cheaper and very durable mine is black and this brand kilt hides pockets under the Pleats
-
Hey Ronnie, one that size would make a nice weekend shelter for a family of little people. ;) Sorry, couldn't help it. ;D
-
Dang, Eddie, that was harsh! ;D Funny, but harsh. ;) Next you know you will be saying there is enough material to build a Mongolian Yurt! :o Just pay him no mind Ronnie, it is just the pain meds he is on..... ::)
I take it your back is feeling better? any more Turkeys?
Wayne
-
Well I guess that's better than wearing a name tag with Kathy on it carrying a pink bow and havin a shrimp up my skirt.Ron
-
Looks like I'm going to have to bust out the kilt so I can be one of the cool kids too.
-
Hey Ron ou don't have to get your family colors those kilts are expencive look up kommando kilts they are cheaper and very durable mine is black and this brand kilt hides pockets under the Pleats
Thanks for the info. I'll look into it.Ron
-

i know how we can identify other PA members
we come up with a PA kilt
everyone gets one and wears them to all primitive gatherings
then we will know each other in a crowd
now we just gotta come up with the right colors for the family
im thinking camo ;D
-
No problem Ron glad to help
And sailer they do make a nice camo kilt man iv been wanting to get one of them at kommando kilts 8)
-
Sportkilt carries camo, too.
-
Och, that just tears it, mon! This braw yankee Scot will be a-wearin' the first, and ken ye, Only South Dakota And Black Hills Registered Tartan Great Kilt at yon Tennessee Classic!
Oh but the joy all the ladies will be having at sight o' me grand and glorius knees! An' should I be primed with the dew o' the mountains I shall even be prepared to recite "The Ballad Of How Jock McPherson Held the Floor" for all the kilted lads some evening about the fire. May the Laird of All grant we have a proper piper to cheer us as well.
-
Ronnie, I flew back from Texas, couldn't bring any shrimp that trip. ;D Nugget's Mom made my Kilt, it's camo.
-
It's cool Eddie I couldn't help it either. >:D
-
Sorry guys,no Kilt for me. :) :) If you don't recognise me at first you will before it's over,but

Pappy
-
Ah come on Pappy I can't afford a real kilt so I'm just gonna wrap a towel around my but for a week.Ron
-
I thought everybody just wore loincloths for the weekend. Do I need to put mine back in the drawer?
-
No way if you can stand it we can.
-
Dont encourage him, I have to ride 7hr with the fool, and sleep 3 nights in the same camper as him! ::)
-
...and him in a loin cloth! :D Although you guys are related! ;)
-
uh oh
-
I need to get to work on my abs.
-
Boy this thread has taken a bizarre twist.
-
I'm really thinking Name Tags aren't going to work. ::) ;D
-
Reminds me of a song....
The Drunken Scottsman
Youtube it and listen to the words.
-
Dang Justin, don't listen to any Banjo music on the way there! :o
Wayne
-
I'm looking forward to meeting ya'll
I'll be the little asian dude...black hair...chinky eyes...5'6''. Tall for my ethnicity lol.
-
I will be one of the rednecks with a beard.
Will be wearing some kind of ball cap.
-
well ok so i will be the guy with a USNAVY hat on
it may not say USNAVY,just look close adn you will see it
probably either have a long sleeve camo t-shirt or a "sailordad" or "navydad" t-shirt
you get the idea
i'll also be the one smoking a cigar ;)
-
ill be the one walking around with gouged out eyeballs after riding with jonathan in his loin cloth
-
Justin, like I said don't play any banjo music on the way there, ......if you think gouged out eyeballs are bad, well a gouged out.....well you get the picture..... ::) ;D ;D ;D
Wayne
-
Justin, like I said don't play any banjo music on the way there, ......if you think gouged out eyeballs are bad, well a gouged out.....well you get the picture..... ::) ;D ;D ;D
Wayne
:o
-
Justin, maybe this will help you. Just keep this picture in your mind when you see Jonathan wearing a loin cloth..good luck
-
Dang, now it's Jonathan that has to be worried :o :P.....By the way, which one of you gets out, when you stop for gas? ::) Well Justin, just think, you could be riding up with Vincent Minor, with his loin cloth, Nose, and ear plugs, plus the Mohawk. ;) Maybe that will help to take the edge off a little, but then again, you could be riding up with both of them. :P :o :o.....Some how the thought of those two together, kinda makes me think of the movie the Hills Have Eyes..... :o Was Jonathan ever in Prison? He hasn't bought you any gifts or anything has he? Check on the Grey Hound routes...... ;D ;D
Wayne
-
well if were gonna go by descriptions
theni will be the guy who keeps to himself
and tries to avoid large groups of people
even at gatherings ;D
seriously,i dont do crowds well or for long periods at a time
i definatly can sypathise with that, for example, next weekend i will most likely be working on that ash warbow im doing the build along for instead of going to my junior prom ;D
-

-

im the definition of antisocial , Ive only hung out with a friend once this year;D, i also have a thing about being touched or bumped into be people, it may sound weird but if someone touches me i have to rub where i was touched or i go crazy, i might actually have a friend over or two that also aren't going, not sure though, as long as i have my music bows and fishing rods ill be happy ;D
-
Sailordad, ;D ;D ;D Good one. Fishfinder, it's a good thing you don't work for the FD, and you let that out, you would be rubbing your skin off. Never let them know what particular quirks you have or what irritates you. ;) You need to go to the Prom. Sometimes being touched is a good thing. ;) Depending on where, and who is doing the touching..... ;D Instead of rubbing the area touched, try touching back. Pretty soon, you will be a prolific toucher. ::) Crowds will be your life. ;D Touch, touch, touch, ....... ;D ;D Go to the Prom, it is the only one you will get to go to. Unless you get over being touched, and have kids, and drop them off at the Prom......Sooooo...... Uh ...... if you touch "yourself", do you have to rub the spot, and for how long? :o;D ;D ;D >:D >:D ;D
Wayne
-
I think I might sit this one out instead. Too much touching and wood rubbing in large crowds going on. Like a redneck woodstock.

i will eventually grow out of it, right now it like an ocd type of thing so i kind of have to do it no matter who or where( try walking down a crowded high school hallway), and dont worry, i still have my senior prom, and i will force myself to go to that one whether i like it or not, as for this prom, its this friday and i cant buy a ticket anymore, and to tell you the truth, paying 45dollars to be in a crowded overly lowed place that plays music i absolutly hate seems like something i would rather avoid if i can ;D, i would rather spend that prepping for the run of giant striped bass approaching my areas in the next month, i cant wait ;D

I don't blame you on those merits. That is a bit exorbitant to pay for something you don't care for. Sort of why I got rid of my dish from bellsouth. Loaded with programs I don't watch, and they won't let you swap anything, you can only upgrade. And still have a load of programs I don't want to watch, but am paying for! If these cable, and satellite companies would get their collective heads out of their lower orifices, and let people choose and swap programs, to THEIR likings they would not have any problem getting people to sign up. I asked the woman on the line, if she liked to go out for a nice steak dinner now and then, and she said yes. I said what if you ordered a nice steak and it came with rutabagas, or what ever food you did not like, she said, well I wouldn't order it. I said what if it came with all the dishes on the menu? She she would not eat there, I said me neither, send someone to get your dish equipment! I haven't had TV since, and really don't miss it. Well good luck fishing, and good luck on out growing your compulsive disorder. ;)

Pappy I would never make anyone wear a name tag... but I thought it might help you out a bit... cuz remember your famous quote the first time we met? "Oh didn't realize you were a girl!"
-
Hey fishfinder, don't worry about missing the prom. I went to my junior prom and didn't care for it to much. I totally skipped the senior prom and didn't miss it one bit. My school was full of fakes, phonies, and druggies and I didn't fit in either. Since I graduated 13 years ago, I have only kept in touch with one person.
-
Osage; Would that be the Truant Officer ? ;D ;D
Wayne
-
Nope, he was my best friend through school. I see him at our kids school events. My daughter and his son are in the same grade. Now, my wife is my best friend. Wouldn't have it any other way.

My school was full of fakes, phonies, and druggies and I didn't fit in either. Since I graduated 13 years ago, I have only kept in touch with one person.
I went to 4 different high schools in 4 years, all across the country. I know what you mean about not keeping in touch, I haven't seen or talked to anyone I went to school with except my sister. No sense trying to replay glory years that were anything but all that glorious, we all grown so far beyond all that (except the few that really cling to what transient glory they found in school).
I'm sorry I also have to announce that God, Life, and Circumstances have all conspired to get in the way of my trip to the Classic this year. It really became apparent I wasn't supposed to go when legal troubles got in the way, two cancelled Raptor Center programs un-cancelled, and a major corporate sponsorship opportunity popped up out of nowhere.
I want to apologize to Wolf Watcher again for cancelling out on him at the last minute, I know he was counting on having someone spell him at the wheel and allow him to drive straight through. I'm truly sorry, Joe. And thank you again for your kind and generous offer.
