like I said earcmacfithil is out of town hiking until Sunday so you lucky people will be getting spamed with time wasers.

Pursuiant to Last Night's research I have now documented Robin as a surname under the heading Robins Richard Robin 1248. So the name Batman Robin is a perfectly acceptable name for the SCA. I am ammused.

When you see this, post another CSI/CSI: Miami/CSI: NY quote in your LJ. Let's see how long this can go on.

I almost got the Black Lion Herald to send 'Loren Greenleaf' on to Lord Laural King at Arms back in the last 70's - but someone caught the whole 'Bonanza' tie-in before it left the then Principality of An Tir. Ditto on a device for my baby son: 'argent, a winged lion cub couchant, wings elevated, purpure'. But I got the ix-nay on any feline 'purpure'.

No humor sometimes... ;}


Gil Grissom: So, let’s see. You surf, you scuba dive. You’re into latex, you like fashion models and Marilyn Manson. And you also have a coin collection?
Greg Sanders: Weird, ha?
Gil Grissom: Well, I race cockroaches!

Someone must have been pulling your leg as there are 23 purpure single cats and 8 pairs of purpure cats and one group of three cats. The most recent ones were registered in 2006. The problem may have been Windmasters' Hill, Barony of (January 1976 via the East) (Fieldless) a Winged cat passant extended purpure. By today's rules I believe it clear because of the fieldlessness and the posture. Always ask a second opinion if you think what you have been told is rubbish.

I also beleive that the name Lorne Green(e) would be protected these days not Greenleaf or anything that started with Green-.

It was a 'cranky herald' issue, not an SCA regulation issue. I was a Coronet Herald at the time, but didn't have a lot of time between dealing with newborn, being Baroness, working, etc to to deal with it. Always planned to push it later.

In 1983, you only needed 1/2 point of difference between devices so couchant would have just barely squeeked through - since only badges can be passed as 'fieldless' I had a good chance. Just didn't want to fight with the mess right then.

I don't do nearly as much heraldry as I used to. Heck, I don't do nearly the SCA I used to. But I do date myself by saying that my device was passed on a lozenge rather than a shield as was the requirement for a woman's device back then.

I like it. I like it.
Time for another Letter of Untent, I think.

[maevebran.livejournal.com]

That is my thought exactly.=)

We have a pair of newbies who just asked about passing names, in my shire....

I am so tempted to send them here.

But I'm not THAT evil. *I* am not a herald.

V, boldly running away

[maevebran.livejournal.com]

Hee. I think the names might not pass due to the obtrusive modernity clause, but it would be fun to try.

I would however be happpy to consult with anyone you'd like to send my way. If I don't know the language/culture They desire I can find someone who does.

Heralds aren't evil, we just have to spend so much time with the books that we occaisionally have todocument something fun to amuse ourselves.=)

no no no nononononono

ALL heralds are evil. Ciaran taught me that ALL heralds are evil. *grin* They fill your brain with twisted, punny thoughts until you can't have a civilized conversation with ANYBODY ELSE on the planet.

*laughs maniacally*

Heralds are the "Sparks" of the SCA (Ob"GirlGenius" reference).

Vesta, whom a herald dubbed "with the Besta Chesta"

PS: I sent them to Vanyev. :) If he drops the ball/uhm, book...I'll send them your way :)
