Hi everybody,
I guess you're all asking who is the medieval warlord wannabe that bumped into this forum out of the blue a week ago. Well, this is me: 
I appologise for not introducing myself properly before, but I had some problems with this pic whose initial size was 32MB. I've been browsing this forum for the least 4-5 years, but I logged in only wheh I red on the 'Hair Policy' board a topic about 'long hair slowing the brain' - a typical north korean sample of communist lack of logic and intolerance, not to mention the low IQ of the so-called scientists. Thanks A LOT, lady Anais Satin for your kind wellcome, and thanks to Miss Maree Jane for the crispy duck recipe. For the rest, you can check my profile. I've forgotten to mention I'm a natural born conspiracy theorist - even did that for a living and liked it. I also LOVE horses - I'm a pretty good horserider and a helluva swordfighter. Guess U allredy figured out that 'I-Hate-Short-Hair' is my middle name... Blessed be! ------------- Mark Edward Arthur Mac Arran Blackrose |

Hi Vlad (if you'll allow me to be informal) Welcome to the friendliest forum I've ever discovered. I studied medieval warfare as part of my degree so if you ever want an o/t chat about swords, horses, Joinvill (or dysentry

Thank thee for thy welcome! U can be as informal as U please - I don't mind. Might I say riding on a horse with a sword in your hand (used it instead of a horsewip - not the edge of the blade, of course!) compares to nothing? And yes, I'd LOVE to chat on this issues. I studied history as a hobby and it proved worth doing it. But dysentry sounds kinda freaky for a topic - I'd rather stick to other aspects of medieval history! And yes, thou art right: this is indeed a friendly forum. Blessed be ------------- Mark Edward Arthur Mac Arran Blackrose |

Thank You All for the kind welcomes, Sweet Ladies!
May I say how glad I am to meet you? Wish I logged in before... And thanks for the complimkents. About my hair: currently looking just like in the picture, but what your ladyshps see are the mere vestiges of what it used to be...  When I was 16, I've promissed to myself to keep it long untill the day I die.  (Guess somebody should 'update' this emoticon to fit my profile).
The boots are modified by myself - I enhanced the heels because of a nasty plat feet. That's why I wore nothing but Texan boots for the last 25 years, at work or at the theatre, on the seaside or on a mountainhike, during the summer or the winter. Glad U like 'em! But what I am extremely proud of is my bass guitar - it's not only custom made - I've made it myself! Blessed be! ------------- Mark Edward Arthur Mac Arran Blackrose |

From a horselover to another:

Hello there Vlad!
Awesome bass, I play bass too, but very little and very badly. College leaves little practice time...I bought mine though. What a multi-skilled man you are! I'm not so up in the Medieval history, but where I live we have a lot of Roman (and onwards) artefacts, and a 2000 year old castle in the city centre. I have no excuse really. Anyway welcome aboard the board, great hair should be shared by all

Hello Impaler Vlad or should I say Vlad Tepes are you a fan of our Vlad or read the Florescu/MacNally books------------- [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v339/Nastasska/fuseli_nightmare-1.jpg" /> Cats may have staff but dogs have slaves, tired ones |

Thank uou for the welcomes, Nastasska and Enfys!
Yes, indeed, I am a GREAT fan of Vlad the Impaler and yes, I red some stuff about this great and unhappy prince. BTW, in Romanian Tepes (the way they spell it sounds more like'Tzepesh') means 'Impaler'. So I guess I wasn't wrong after all... That's why I have taken this nickname: as a tribute to him. He could easily have a place on this board, because he had very long and strong dark hair, or at least on the 'Hair Policy' board, considering the fact medieval kings and regnant princes were chiefs of state. I'll browse the Net for his picture one of these days and then post it on this board, if the webmasters and moderators don't mind... BTW no.2: I've seen a lot of Hollywood-made stuff about him and laughed untill I almost crushed my lungs, ribs and stomach... It wouldn't be the only case when script writers and other people involved in the film industry don't make their 'homework' well enough... Blessed be ------------- Mark Edward Arthur Mac Arran Blackrose |

Hello, Vlad, I play an acoustic guitar, sometimes classical...I picked it up from my brother and dad. I don't have my very own horse where I live, but my uncle has one which my siblings and I share...my fav horse in the world! And my cousin has about 15 horses and one of them is mine. ------------- RANITA~~ ----------- What good is life without a horse??!!! |

I'm really glad for U, little lady! Unfortunatelly, I do not have a horse of my own - just have to rely on richer friends for this passion o'mine. BTW, just in case someone might think I'm bragging when I speak about horses, I'll post a pic with me on horseback one of these days. Maybe even start a new topic, about the REAL Vlad the Impaler! ------------- Mark Edward Arthur Mac Arran Blackrose |
