Well there is a corn palace in Iowa. But I like this one in Wallonia much better. If in fact it is the corn palace. I like it even if it isn't.

TPBM has worn a suit of Medieval armour and is comfortable in it.

Only in my imagination. My current pen-and-paper character (holy crap! Nerd alert!) is a warlord who wears boiled-leather armour. He wields a greatsword, but his best moves basically involve ordering other people to attack and giving them all sorts of bonuses when they do so. He's extremely intelligent which makes it really hard for me to play him convincingly, socially awkward, and obsessed with history and battle, so I imagine he's not really comfortable except when he's wearing medieval armour and shouting combat orders.

TPBM prefers historical re-enactment to fantasy role-playing games.

True. I still fit in my armour but I am way out of shape. :(

No. And I'm hopeless at regular chess.
(I'm guessing you don't mean checkers).

TPBM has playground equipment in their yard.

Always been afraid of heights. As a kid, I was even more so. Rappelling off anything taller than a kitchen chair would've given me palpitations.

TPBM likes to jump from great heights.

Funny enough I do not even though I have rappelled before.

Soulfire? I went a few years back. It's a very interesting location, I must say. It was on private property and the camp proprietors make you fill out a form requesting personal legal information, maybe understandable, but I found it invasive.

tpbm doesn't mind filling out forms.

sounds interesting, should be a good rumor though if I need it... wait, is this a chinese proverb? I don't think enough people care one way or the other about me to even support a rumor. would be a puff on smoke on a windy day.

tpbm would enjoy a good, really good, laugh.

Who wouldn't? Besides people with healing abdominal incisions, of course.

TPBM has a scar from such a wound.

Hoping to win against my lazy half to get my trailer ready for Gemini Party XIII...

TPBM needs to come up with an awfully good explanation.
