Cavort your Ninnies here! - John Conyard - 11-24-2007

Good answer Mike. I particularly like the description "cavorting ninnies".

I get lots of emails which I do my best to answer. This question was based on a good email, but the attitude to academics and reconstruction surprised me.

I'd actually like to be called a cavorting ninny. There's nothing wrong with it.

You're a cavorting ninny, Tarb. Smile

Thanks Duncan. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside now.

I believe you are giving Joe Public a little more credit than he deserves :wink:

Re: Cavort your Ninnies here! - John Conyard - 11-27-2007

OK OK! I was being rhetorical and not entirely literal. I should have said the public can't tell the difference between a Imperial Gallic I and the infamous Pioneer helmet.

I suppose I'm trying to be relaxed about this. My normal view is that cavorting ninnies should be shot. But I can see this may be viewed as extreme by some.

Re: Cavort your Ninnies here! - Hibernicus - 11-27-2007

Extreme? Not at all

The real argument is in how they are to be shot, perhaps where...

Tarbicus shall be excluded for sundry inane reasons... which is another thread topic , I'm sure. :wink:

Sean
We can see you cavorting in your Avatar. They do not look like ninnys or nannies! It looks like you have walked on to the set of 'Up Pompeii'.

Graham.

The Avatar with moi et les babelings? From the E3 conference in LA a few years ago.. promoting a video game. They were all tall to begin with and then wearing thigh high boots with 6 inch heels... I found myself at the perfect height! There are advantages to be short.

The current Avatar... (Hibernicus, Gaius Hibernicus) is my preferred cavorting "costume".. Gets Mrs Hiberncius all cavorting too!

I even have an avatar that meets the Cavorting Ninny criteria.. maybe on the 28th.

UP POMPEII.. now that's real TV! Why can't we have a Roman Group based on that series??!!

Can anyone PM me with the meaning of 'cavorting ninny'? PLEASE?

RED DEVILS - Graham Sumner - 11-28-2007

Hi John
Some good points you raised there and interesting to note you are writing something about your re-enactment experiences.

Not sure I like being compared with an imp of Satan however, that sounds too much like being a red devil and you know who that represents!!! :evil:

Quote:I would rather cheer for Liverpool.

Now, can I have that carved in stone! :wink:

Quote:We can show them something they can't do.

or "I will show them something they have never seen before", now isn't that a line from a movie?

On another matter, so far I have not come across any archaeologist myself who was openly dismissive about Roman re-enactment.

Graham.

Re: Cavort your Ninnies here! - Tarbicus - 11-29-2007

Hard cavorting ninnies.

Re: Cavort your Ninnies here! - John Conyard - 11-29-2007

Graham, if I wrote a book on my re-enactment experiences, after the inevitable liable cases and heavy editing of sexual content, there would still be a 120,000 word exciting best seller left. However this is a short paper about how things are made and how they perform. Not quiet as exciting!

Kate, I agree with the points you made.

Tarbicus, you are a hard cavorting ninny.
