No, it was originally the name for anyone who was born within earshot of st Pauls, but has since expanded to anyone who sounds nothing like Dick Van Dyke trying to be 'Cockanay' and use rhyming slang.

I fell down the Apple and Pears trying to answer the blessed Dog and Bone because the Trouble and Strife was calling about the Isle of Skye so I thought I'd come down the Rub-A-Dub for a Roger Starling.

Actually, silver is dangerous to night-walkers because it sympathizes with the moon (while gold sympathizes with the sun). Since the moon merely reflects sunlight and has no light/power of its own, it's a symbolic parallel for the undead (who "reflect" life, but have none of their own). Living beings (faerie, spirits, dragons, humans, etc) draw their energy from the sun, either directly or indirectly.

Technically, silver bullets don't kill werewolves, they disrupt the spirit that inhabits the body and makes it a wolf --causing the were to revert to human form. It's the fact that it's a bullet that kills the human.

Organic matter (wood, bone, chitin, hardened flesh or hair) can kill a vampire by piercing its heart --this is because organic tissue can carry an etheric charge (this is what makes it "alive"). The charge disrupts the vampire's own, and "poof" goes the vamp.

Zombies are basically poor-man's vampires: they're animated by an etheric "shell" (whereas a vampire is animated by an astral being controlling the still-functional body). Put another way: a zombie is like someone pushing a (stolen) car, while a vampire is like someone driving a stolen car. They're like ghosts with a chewy corpse-y centre. Disrupt the spirit and the body just collapses.

(And, for the record, it's not "brains" they're after, these spirits are predatory; they feed on the spirits [or souls, in the case of vampires] of their victims. Incarnate spirits are just much richer and more developed than anything disembodied or available on the astral plane.)

Silver doesn't work on the fay or "living" (non-astral) spirits --for that you need either iron (being meteoric, iron doesn't carry an etheric charge [which is inherent to Earth], so it disrupts any etheric field it passes through), crystals (which affect etheric fields like magnets affect computers), or mystical weapons. The iron has to be pure; no alloys.

Oh, and just blessing water might not be enough. True Holy Water has to be salty --the dissolved crystals impart their disruptive properties. You can also soak a religious artifact in the water (while blessing it), to similar effect (the artifact serves as a sort of mystical "tea-bag," so the resulting "tea" absorbs its spiritual energy).

What?

It depends who's Folk law you perscribe to. Silver can be aligned to the moon, but some say the Human soul which is why it kills supernatural creatures.

Incidentally Silver killing Werewolves isn't true folk law, it was first introduced in some film in the 1940's.

Not really. People throughout Europe have wildly different national idetic accents, languages and culture, where as the US is one nation with one national language and no more regional variation in accent than anyother nation.

Sunnydale, the fictional town in which Buffy Summers (etc.) fought against the things which gravitated there due to the Hellmouth beneath the town.
I don't know. Many launguages are spoken here. perhaps we don't have an official language, just one that used to be more prevelant. English is the language taught in most schools as a primary language.
We never officially declared war on the countries that Citizen mentioned. We fought there, but we never officially declared war on them.

I wish there was time to know everything too. But there's not. So I know a lot about a few things that interest me, and a good bit about things I need to know to get by, and as much as I can about the things that people I care about are interested in, so I can engage them in conversation. The rest I try to ignore until it falls into one of those catagories.

just make sure that your toenails are nicely trimmed and your skin soft, don't wear rings to put them on, and do that gathering from top to bottom, slip them over your toes and pull up, letting the fabric go bit by bit - don't ever pull up from the top edge.

As an interesting addendum to my reply to Citizen - i had to explain once to a guy how to wera them. his hairy legs were causing him issues, and these tights had padded calves which made it all ten times more difficult - and no matter how much he struggled, i refused to do the 'hands on' kind of helping - i just stood back and encouraged him.

Oh, I do know how to put them on, and take them off, I just have this extraordinary knack at finding sharp things sticking out of random places to brush against or my cat decides to play "Attack Mommy's Legs" or I trip and skin my knee or who knows?

Today, I was just sitting there at my desk, sitting all pretty with my ankles cross and all of a sudden, I had a run all the way up to my knee. I'm just cursed.

But, the good news was, since I had such a large run, I got to just take them off and be all bare-legged the rest of the day.

Wish I'd shaved this morning, though.

always the way. the day your tight run, is the day you decided to try and get aways with it for a while longer.

That is quite a... gift you have there. Still, its winter, that means soom the dark coloured 40 deniers can come out - slimming and hardy.

yey!

Denier is a measure of thread weight. Presumably 40 denier would be a heavy thread weight for hose; consequently hose made with that thread would be more resistant to runs.

yes, Dave has it - 40 denier are almost opaque, and usually come in black (though in recent years theres been a trend for bright colours), so they slim your legs and they're very warm, and it takes a concerted effort to put holes in them.

So how do you categorize tights/nylons over there? Everything here is labelled by style colour and denier.

And what do you call nylons that arn't made of nylon? Like wool and silk tights/stockings?

Sorry, bit in depth for ladies underwear, but i'm intrigued.

I think what you call your 40denier thingies we just call "tights"

But, honestly, I've always wanted a pair of silk stockings.

Just one pair. To see what all the fuss is about.

And then, I'd ruin them before I got out the door and there's all that money down the drain.

But, at least, for 3.5 minutes, I'd have a pair.

SR presents Serenity and Seryn each with a pair of stocking spun from pure spider silk, indestructible! (He exercises extreme restraint in not including garter belts. He is all ready pushing his luck.)

And i'm sure that at some point in his SCA career SR must have worn tights.

though he will agrue that they were actually hose.

I will decline to answer the question. I have to retain at least a small smidgin of mystery. Regardless I would not argue with you Seryn as I can think of far too many other things we could do. Unless of course you want me to argue.

Tights!

Hose!

Tights!

Hose!

Tights!

This isn't a argument. This is just contradiction.

No. Spiders spin two forms of silk for their webs, building silk which is not sticky and trapping silk which is. Your stockings are made of building silk. I was very careful to make certain of that when I got them.

Very thoughtful.

Do not apologise, women's underwear is by it's very nature is intriguing. Intrigue some more.

The funny thing is that I recall that wasn't it the topic before on maybe the third or fourth floor? Oh god! were lost in the tower! We're all going to die! Somebody hold me I don't want to die alone!

Or maybe this is just they way that everything works here and there is no need to panic.

Usually stockings or hose with the material in question appended if it's deemed important. Ie, silk stockings.

See, SR's learning - he doesn't want to argue with me!

Thank you for the very thoughtful gift (if only they were indestructable in real life!)

I actually have to locate some white silk stockings if i go to D*C next year - seeing as i really like this (albeit mean) idea of doing a better version of the Elizabeth Swann dress than that woman with the awful panniers.

And some shoe's, though i think i'll end up going with some slippers or something, period shoes if they're even available must be bloody expensive. Sorry don't mind me just thinking aloud. And a wig, seeing as i have even less hair now than i did before. The excalators are going to be a nightmare and crushes an issue too, but I can't think of anything i'd like to do more - especially as i was busy going into costume-nerdgasms over the Marie Antoinette trailer yesterday.

This is going to get expensive.

I believe last time we were talking about the various merits of different knicker types.

Oh yeah, I remember the knicker conversation.

You better do the Elizabeth Swann costume!

I have yet to decide what I'm gonna do for next year. I'm open to suggestions.

Tristan might be able to help with the period shoes.
