Softball arm

Another great part of Ren Fair: a young blond women with a fantastic softball arm showed up. The guy in the dunking tank had been yelling all those "throw like a girl" insults at a ten(?) year old with fairy wings. She had actually hit the target twice, but not hard enough. Well, softball arm showed up and she had ten throws. After nine, she had only hit it one time, and once again, not hard enough. Then....beautiful, glorious splash on throw number ten! The fairy wing girl looked quite ecstatic, and ran over and gave the blond woman a high five. It really did seem like the people were happier there than they were at "the happiest place on earth." I also love how they're so in character. And, I loved the guy who tried to get me to go look at some military stuff at the end of the day, as I wearily trudged past him, and as a final entreaty he drawled, sardonically, "Yooou caaan siiit dooown agaaain." Too funny.
