lurchin'


Every Sunday in Montreal, a group of kids dress up in Medieval gear, get together in Mount Royal Park, and beat each other with padded weaponry. (See related post here.) Near the beginning of July (give me a break, I've been out of town), the role-players were attacked by a herd of menacing zombies. A nearby McDonalds also fell victim to their slow, shambling attack.
"then it was time to attack, we spotted the nerds from a distance. they outnumbered us heavily. and they had big weapons and big shields. and what did we have? nothing. we're dead. we don't care. we hid in the woods for a moment and then all started screaming our guts out. the duct-tape warriors were all lined up with swords out when we emerged from the woods.

and then started the greatest battle this mountain ever saw."
