RESCU Foundation (Renaissance Entertainers, Services, and Crafters United)

 

First I would like to let you know I’m not hitting you up for money… although I would not turn it down.

 

I am working with the RESCU Foundation to find local doctors, nurses, dentists, lawyers, and mental health professionals that would be willing to perform discounted, or free, services for the renaissance community.  We are also looking for anyone that can give first aid and or CPR training.

 

The RESCU Foundation is a federally compliant 501c3 organization.   Utilizing donations, an all volunteer staff, and an advocacy program they serve the financial needs of the ren community in times of medical crisis.  Very few of the faire professionals have medical or dental insurance and they need our help.  Also there is a need for general health care and immunizations for children of faire professionals.

 

If any of you in the Dallas/Waxahachie area happen to be a medical professional, or know someone that may be interested in helping out, please let me know.  You can contact me at tim@tukaram.net.  Texas also has faires near Austin and Houston, they could also use our help.  If you are in other parts of the country but have a faire near you and want to help please contact the foundation at http://rescufoundation.org/ 

 

RENAISSANCE PICK-UP LINES



- "Hey, Princess, you wouldn't happen to know where a lonely knight could scabbard his sword, would you?"

- "Been there, slain that."

- "What's a nice maiden like you doing in a dungeon like this?"

- "They don't call me Lance-A-Lot for nothing, you know."

- "When the Inquisition put me on the rack, my limbs weren't the only thing they stretched."

- "Dost thou know? That chastity belt of yours would look great on my sleeping chambers floor."

- Wench: "What's that sound?" Knight: "That's just the sound of my chain mail drawers expanding."

- "Thou hast hit on me harder than the black plague!"

- "Your hovel or mine?"

- "Pardon me, madam, but wouldeth thou like to see my long sword in action?"

- "Dost thou practice safe hex?"

- "Milady, it's not the size of the wand that matters, but the magic within."

- "I have the key to your chastity belt and you have the key to my heart."

- "You should be glad I'm not a Viking."

- "You would have been ravaged and plundered by now."

- "I lost my leg in battle. Guess what I'm walking on!"

- "Yes, fair maiden, I am indeed a wizard. Shall I make your clothes disappear?"

- "You won't believe this but St. George just appeared to me in a vision and told me that I must bed you...the fate of England depends on it!!"

- "I'm really a prince cursed by an evil witch. Tell me, do you have sex with frogs?"

- "My! But you are a beautiful damsel in distress! Allow me to help you out of it."

- "I've been VERY NAUGHTY. You'll have to put me in the stocks and...er...PUNISH me, now won't you?"

- "You know, I was once imprisoned in a tower very much like Rapunzel. Only it wasn't my hair that the queen asked me to let down."

- "I may not be a priest, but I can get you to heaven, m'lady."

- "C'mon, sweetie...didn't your mother ever tell you? A cleric a day keeps the black plague away."

I thought I would share my age old, secret, family recipe for rum balls, that I just made up!

Rum Balls

 
Ingredients:

2 Cups Coconut

1 Cup Pecans

12 oz. Bag Vanilla Wafers

4 Tbsp Cocoa or Carob

2 Tsp. Vanilla

¼ Cup Corn Syrup

½ Cup Capt. Morgan Spiced Rum (NO substitutions allowed-seriously, trust me on this one!!)

½ Cup Granulated Sugar

Procedure:

In a food processor finely chop pecans, cookies, and coconut, to almost a flour consistency. Put the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and add cocoa, mix well. (pick out any large pieces and set aside for snacking) Add vanilla, rum, and corn syrup. Mix thoroughly, using a spatula, or by hand. (a little rum for the cook, a little rum for the mix, a little more for the cook, a little more for the cook…)

Roll into 1" balls and roll the balls in the granulated sugar. Place on waxed paper. They are edible right away but after a couple days the flavors merge very well.

Yield:

Approx. forty 1" Balls
