You might be in the SCA if....
....you know someone who can blazon street signs and billboards. And does. Frequently. And is PROUD of it.

these have all happened to me. neutral
-If you've ever come across more than one person with a name so long, even they could barely pronounce it, let alone remember it in it's entirety.
-If you've ever smoothed your kilt/skirt before you sat, and your wearing pants. Or if the aforementioned occurence arises and your male. mrgreen
-If you've ever been kicked out of a theater for ranting about the historical inaccuracys of the movie out loud.
-If you've ever been requisitioned by your girlfiend to do some sewing.
-If you're the ONLY kid people cheat off of in history.
-if you've ever spent 4 hours looking for a sword at work
-If you've ever beat the living s**t out of someone with a stick because he insulted your skirt.
-If you've not gone to a party because they're drinking mundane beer and not mead

Imzy Llelwyn You know you're in the SCA when: ...you feel strange wearing pants for a few days after an event. (That one is mostly for the ladies).
...you get freaked out when people call you by your mundane name when you're with your friends. ...you have been heard to squeal "Oooo! Sharp and pointies!" ...you weren't that worried about Y2k because you knew you'd be able to take care of yourself with what "primative" materials you could scrounge up if the world did end. *lol* Not just for the ladies... I bet it works for the guys in kilts, too. wink true indeed.

- you don't respond to the word stop anymore the only way people can get you to stop and get your attention is to yell HOLD
- You can go to some of your University classes in garb and fit in because your professor wears a full suit of Roman armour to teach Roman civilizations along with some roman clothing. ((I can't wait to be in his class)) (University of Windsor)
- When walking around Down town your non SCA friends use you as a bodyguard because they know you can kick some a** and you have the weapons.
-You no longer go to the liquor store because nothing beats mead so you go to you neighbour house for a couple of hours and drink some mead while making more mead.
-your neighbour is in the SCA and so You don't have to worying about driving home drunk after he host a house party because you house is next to his.

WitchyChick + You can't watch modern movies about medieval times with mundanes because you spend the entire time shouting about the imperfections in swordfighting, garb, speaking, etc. ::laughs:: That definitely applies to my lord and me. We don't watch those kind of movies with our mudane friends anymore. sweatdrop whee The only exception is the Lord of the Rings trilogy ('cause no one wants to be the poor fool who talks during that-- and subsequently gets everything within arms' reach thrown at him/her xd ).

(Okay, I may not have been deeply into SCA, but I have a few of these myself...)
-If you ever had to remind your lord that just because he's wearing a kilt, doesn't mean he gets to use your razor.
-If you have more wood and brass feast gear than you have mundane plates and bowls.
-If you have ever seen a straight man eye another man's garb and hiss "he stole my trim!!!"
-If you know more than one Body Song, or more than ten verses to any one body song.
-If you have ever been "blessed" by the An Tir Biffy Valkyries
-If you have more shape pointies than you have anything else
- If you respect 13th Warrior for speaking Old High Germanic instead of some random Scandinavian dialect.
- If you own a drinking horn
