no Rag for me!
« on: June 19, 2007, 12:57:00 am »
As the subject line says I'm not going to be at Rag this week.  So I thought I would start a thread for those of us for what ever reason are unable to go to Rag this year.  Here we can commiserate and stuff.

To all you that are there or going to be there, have a blast!  

I'm not going do to work and the need to earn that ever elusive dollar.

Stuck at home also.  I decided to take some classes over the summer so I am missing out as well.  Just think about it this way, nothing to clean up afterwards.  No camping gear to put away, no long cross country drives.  The way I see it we have it made here.  Suckers,  going all the way to Ohio and than having to come back after a week.

They couldn't possibly be having a good time with out me there anyways.

Ugh...I'm only 15 although I have an early b-day so I can make it to the next Rag.  Back to foamsmithing and repairing chainmail I guess...

I can't make it as my last exam is on the 20th and my whole chapter is gone. So I don't have a ride   . I will be going out to Ohio anyway to help with a seminar on ninja idealogy and their true fighting styles. $300 just to speak with probably some dorky Naruto fans and people who think tenchu is real! i may be able to show up on friday but thats pretty unlikely

Bloody vacation starts the week after; how's that for timing?  To top it off, I came into $75 last week, which is almost gone....

But the thing about me is, I've now missed four straight Rags.....    

Will I ever get home to Ragnarok?  Who knows?  I do plan on finally going next year, though.....

Think about this...The Scottish Highlanders were a very poor people, no armor to speak of, only the most basic of weapons, and still the English, whom had one of the most powerful armies of the time, considered them to be a huge threat!  Hmmmmm

I had an exam today, another tomorrow and 2 more on friday, and I wouldn't have a way to get there anyways. Ah well.

I guess I'll just stay here and repeatedly beat a tree with a foam stick.

Your shoes have to been sparkling red pumps for that to work, though.

I just saw the last of my unit off to Rag. I wish I had the time (and money).

Orcslayer,
My and Cyde are required by law to consume so much drink when away from home. Its part of a trade agreement worked out with, Britian,Ireland,Canada and German.  

Cyde, I dont think we make we'd quit driving half we there and toss up camp.

Maethodoron couldn't make it this year.  We all had too much stuff going on (all good things, but time consuming nonetheless).  We did manage to have our own camping from June 21 to June 24.  We had a grand old time, even if we didn't have huge numbers!
