You know you're in the SCA when you watch the old replay of the Crowning

Coronets they are wearing..

I think this one also fits into the thread about the difference between SCA
traditions and real history. So far as I can determine, the system of
coronets by rank that we use became official in England in the late 17th
century.

"Dad," I said, "I don't want a flashy car or a fast car or a trendy

"What do you want then?" he asked, wondering what could be on his

"I want a car with *HUGE* cargo space, so I can haul all my armor

I was in the financial aid office at school when I saw signs for

Never mind polearms, I find a long wheel base transit ideal for

You might be a stick jock if...
You get your van stuck in a bog, but escape by unloading the shields
and driving out over them. (from shield wall to shield road?)
Your friend with a motorcycle can't stand it up in a boggy field, but
your spare shield saves it from sinking.
Everyone else in the procession is sheltering under OOP umbrellas, but
your contingent is wandering along holding roundshields over their
heads.
The police ask you to unload your van as there has been a tire thief in
the area and they've spotted some suspicious round shapes under a
tarpaulin... which turn out to be a stack of plywood sheild blanks.
Your works fitness assessor asks how come you're stronger than most
men he's tested (& you're female), and you explain that it's because
you haven't got around to making that new lightweight shield yet.
You're an expert panel beater, your van is battered & dented, but you
can't fix it because you're beating out a new shield boss.
You recognise people by their shield devices, but aren't too good on
the faces.

You're with a group of friends not involved with the SCA, are attempting
to sing Harry Chapin's 'Cats in the Cradle' and it keeps coming out to
the tune of Lord of the Dance.
Your favorite Rock song is 'Dream of the Archer' by Heart (some nifty
mandolin playing in there)
You dress in a rush to go to work, accidentally grab a piece of garb and
keep getting compliments on 'that gorgeous top' or 'that lovely skirt'
and then get people asking what store it was bought at!
After an event - while getting dressed in mundanes, you don your

The old classic: Somebody goes through a door ahead of you and catches some

You're in the military, and somebody comes into the office in civilian
clothes, and you ask them if their attire "isn't a bit out of period?"
You catch yourself calling "clear" as you draw your steak knife from the
napkin at a restaurant.
Playing racquetball, you ask your opponent if he's ready, then cry "lay-on!"
just prior to your serve.
You find it strange and humorous when somebody calls you "sir".
You never buy a white belt to go with anything, 'cause you aren't a knight.
You get hit by a racquetball (or whatever), and call out "light!" (or "good!")
without thinking.
You shot "huzzah!" at a sporting event

You know you're in the SCA when you drive by a fast-food place, see a sign
advertising "NOW HIRING NIGHTS", and joke, "I'll have to tell Sir X."

You must be in the Twilight Zone when you drive by the same place the
following week, and they've added the "K"...
Honest!
