Every year the Colonel has a themed party at his place. It began as a Medival Feast but this year he decided the theme would be American colonial. I must admit to not being one to go in costume to these sorts of things but they got me into a toga earlier this year so.... WTH.
Jekyll was going to hook me up with some duds because this isn't the sort of thing I have lying around. The Colonel went and had his coat custom made which shows you how behind the curve I am. But I was happy for the offer. Unfortunately, Jekyll got so into theme that he decided to catch the Consumption just before the feast. So we dug through the Colonel's extras and came up with a ninja outfit and a kilt. The kilt wasn't completely unperiod so I went with that. Although I still want to be a ninja. Anyone remember the show The Master with Lee Van Cleef?
Here's the Colonel with his smashing new coat and the Jack-o-Knives being the pirate he is at heart.
Not everyone dressed up but you don't have to.
We were able to do some axe throwing once the target was fixed. No, we did not use duct tape thought it was offered.
Father and son doing a little boff sword fighting. Don't call the cops, this is all in fun.
We ended the night in front of a fire. I changed out of the kilt by then because it got rather chilly.
Only one person asked what was going on under my kilt. I think he just couldn't help himself. No one else asked because they really didn't want to know. And that's a good thing because a gentleman never tells what's is or isn't under his kilt. Of course I'm not really a gentleman.... thus no one asked.
