Drinking etiquette

I post this for the telling of my favorite experience at the Bristol Faire last Sunday. I bought a lemonade from some giggling young girls in a booth who dutifully put it in a paper Pepsi cup. Being the "Period Nazi" that I am I scarcely ever leave a food stand or bar without pouring my beverage into whatever historically accurate drinking vessel I have on me that day.

 

Anyhow, this particular day I had a moment of weakness, or perhaps you might say a remission of my mania. It was near the end of the day and I committed the folly of simply carrying the lemonade in the Pepsi cup. I didn't make it twenty paces before a girl standing outside of her shop began assailing me out loud for my "Epic Fail" to be dressed as a knight and drinking out of a paper cup!!! I laughed and congratulated her for pointing this out to the most anal f___ing retentive medieval reenactor she probably ever met while showing her the handblown glass from Belgium and bottell lined in bee's wax on my belt. I thanked her heartily for providing me the most poignant moment of the day:)
