Being involved in renaissance faires, you hear a lot of funny things over the years. People have hilarious persona names, that only makes sense to you sometimes if you’re a Rennie & then sometimes only if you know the person. Guilds are pretty much the same thing, like ours, “Mother Moraine’s Guild” or “The MoMos,” which isn’t funny unless you live in Utah & know what a MoMo is & how we aren’t like that at all. There are tons of them, all over the country, each with their own little inside joke, laughing while we’re oblivious to them.

On the internet, people use handles or usernames that make sense to them, and sometimes offend the rest of us, like “LuvMuscle69″ or whatever. there are user groups, web sites and email groups that use inside jokes for names, there are even churches online that seem like a joke to us, but are they really serious, like Shatnerology? The next one I expect to see is the first church of youthology and sewing circle. I might even join that one, it appeals to me on a base level. Maybe that’s why there are so many diverse places like that, to appeal to the masses or something.

Anyway, it all just makes me smile & sometimes laugh out loud. It must be nice to have that much time to play around like that. Maybe it isn’t, maybe they do it to keep from going crazy?
