Yeah, some of us socialy disfunctional medievalists actually have a sense of

The name "Society for Creative Anachronism" has an interesting history too
(and I'm just rude enough to share it...)
Mercedes Lackey (a moderately well known authoress) was booking a park for

club. It didn't have one, so on the spur of the moment she gave it one
which was so clever that it stuck...
