eveglassA detailed update of this weekend's event will be forthcoming, but in the meantime, I thought I'd do a quick post to tide you over. This weekend was the baronial archery championship for our barony, L'Ile du Dragon Dormant (the Isle of the Sleeping Dragon). The event was held in Eastman, Quebec. Part of the archery championship was a series of games, and one of them was the "Spam shoot." This involved the archers heading out into the woods to shoot at giant cans of Spam, in simulation of hunting wild animals. Cosmano announced they were "hunting wild Spam."
The scenario was just too good for me to pass up...

tune of "The Ladies of the SCA..."
When you're in a noble barony where sleeping dragons lie,
If you're there for a visit or you're only passing by,
You'd better keep a lookout for the pirates and their scams,
And you'd best be on your guard against the Wild Eastman Spam.
Now you often see their babies when you're shopping in the store,
They seem so sweet and innocent on shelves or on the floor,
But do not be deceived by all those tiny tins of ham...
'Cause they're nothing in comparison to Wild Eastman Spam.
The Wild Spam stays hidden when it's living in the wood,
You'll never even see it there unless your eye is good,
You think that you're alone amidst the tatters and the yams,
But you're really the next target of the Wild Eastman Spam.
Before you know what hit you, the Spam is at your back,
Snarling and hissing and leaping in your tracks,
The Wild Spam is vicious, so run now while you can,
Or you'll find yourself the dinner of the Wild Eastman Spam!
You grab your bow and arrows, you grab your axe and mace,
But the Wild Spam has vanished in the woods without a trace,
So go and slink back home again as meekly as a lamb,
And be thankful for the narrow miss with Wild Eastman Spam.
So now you know the lesson, I need not say again,
If you find yourself in Eastman in the land of dragon's men,
You'd better bring your running shoes in case you have to scram
From a mighty vicious rabid pack of Wild Eastman Spam!
