Arrest the leather mug maker.

I don't care that he probably didn't have anything to do with it. ARREST HIM.

Sounds like they were just really in character. Standard knight behavior.

So, French medieval reenactors got in to the spirit of things by surrendering to thieves and brigands. Sounds like an authentic reenactment. I can't wait for the WW1 and WW2 reenactments.

When reporters asked police what now, they responded, "What now? Let me tell you what now. When we catch them we'll call a coupla hard, pipe-hittin' mimes, who'll go to work on those homies with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. You hear us talkin', hillbilly boys? We won't through with you all by a damn sight. We'll get medieval on your asses!"

And, of course, the French surrendered the money.

The guard would have stopped the thieves, but it's hard for him to run after he took that arrow in the knee.

Actually, this is pretty clever. Where else could you go with a sword and suit of armor without raising eyebrows? I'm torn, because anyone who steals is scum, but anyone clever enough to come up with that idea must be a pretty interesting person.

Biºtche. That sure doesn't sound like the name of a French location (no French words have "tch" that I can think of). Ah, I see, it's close to Germany. That explains it.

I saw Emerson, Lake, and Palmer break out a live biatches Crystal for the first time in 25 years, once.

I think I would have preferred seeing the Dead do Death Don't Have No Mercy, though, in '89, instead.

In the Frenchmen's defense they did tell the thieves that theirmothers were hamster and their fathers smelt of elderberries.

I'm calling BS. How does one get away in armor? It's not like you can run or probably even jog in that shiat. Did they supposedly blend into the crowd? Don't believe that either, there aren't THAT many people running around in armor at these things, and everyone outfits are different.

The NSA responds that, if only somebody else there had been armed with a sword or an axe, they could have returned fire.
