Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: Patrish(inactive) Date: 19 Jun 01 - 03:40 AM TRY A MINSTREL -Andregor Starseeker (Tune: unknown) Don't follow a warrior with armour that shines His attention's for fighting first, second for wine You'll haul armour to please him and polish it fine When you want your reward, he'll be snoring like swine! CHORUS: But a minstrel is gentle, his touch it is light He knows how to entertain throughout the night! He's never too tired, or too bruised from a fight! A minstrel's quick tongue can make you feel right! Don't chase after a married man, 'twill soon make you tear You'll be stuck in the closet when his lady is near When the challenge is gone, you'll be dumped on your ear But a minstrel can help you restore your good cheer! Don't service a King, it's like fighting the air! With a Kingdom to rule, you're the -least- of his cares! His Throne and his glory won't be yours to share, And you're -dead- if you bring him an unscheduled heir! Don't sleep with the nobles, unless you've no pride, They've one place for a woman, and that is inside! From cooking and cleaning, you'll soon want to hide Till a minstrel does find you and away you will ride! Don't sleep with a Viking, let me tell you why: Their swords are all rusty, their bed's never dry, They'll leave for a year in the wink of an eye, And you know they're not lonely when docking time's nigh!
Stay away from the rich men, they act just like boys |

Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: RangerSteve Date: 18 Jun 01 - 09:49 PM Dreamer-Minstrel. There are enough of us that all the benevolent rulers can have one court musician apiece. I play banjo and sing - old time country music. Any takers? I'm bothered by the part that says I'm optimistic. I'm a cop, I'm supposed to be cynical. ok, so maybe I am optimistic in that I keep hoping the public will stop doing stupid things like speeding, driving drunk, driving and talking on their cell phones, etc. By the way, what are the credentials for the person who made up this test? How do we know the results are valid? Hey, look, I'm back to my old cynical self, not at all like my description. |

Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: vectis Date: 18 Jun 01 - 08:01 PM How can I be a Discoverer. I can't even find the words to the next verse with any certainty. Notes also remove themselves from my head mid-tune. My sense of direction is non-existent. Mind you Columbus found America that way. Hmmm....... |

Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: Matt_R Date: 18 Jun 01 - 07:01 PM Hold thy tongue, Lord Alex, for I canst and wilt take mine morningstar to thine chops! |

Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: mousethief Date: 18 Jun 01 - 06:53 PM Don't thank me! I had nothing to do with it! Alex |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: Matt_R Date: 18 Jun 01 - 06:49 PM Alex has obviously a.) never seen Pulp Fiction (neither have I lol) or hear Weird Al's "Amish Paradise". And I'm 22, thank you very much!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: mousethief Date: 18 Jun 01 - 06:42 PM Matt, you win the TOO MUCH INFORMATION award yet again. Blasted randy 19 year olds! Alex |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: Matt_R Date: 18 Jun 01 - 06:40 PM Watch out, or I'll get medieval on your heinies!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: mousethief Date: 18 Jun 01 - 06:35 PM But I didn't do that for any question -- I'm confused. Alex |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: Trapper Date: 18 Jun 01 - 06:33 PM Alex- That's if you use the SAME set of four answers on each question...
ie. Minstrel - 4123.
...etc. - Al |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: Little Hawk Date: 18 Jun 01 - 06:05 PM Yeah, that's a beauty. Has the same general feel to it as "CEO"... Our present provincial premier (Mike Harris) doesn't quite make it. He's an unenlightened despot. - LH |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: Llanfair Date: 18 Jun 01 - 06:03 PM I knew it!! It's going to be down to us White Knights to do all the menial jobs, take in washing, cook the dinner! I'm going to do the test again! Cheers, Bron. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: Matt_R Date: 18 Jun 01 - 05:56 PM I prefer the term "Enlightened Despot". |

Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: mousethief Date: 18 Jun 01 - 05:45 PM You only show choices on 2 questions, Trapper; what about the other 6? Alex |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: Spud Murphy Date: 18 Jun 01 - 05:42 PM What's with that boat stuff? Somebody's messin with my post! Cut it out. Spud |

Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: Spud Murphy Date: 18 Jun 01 - 05:35 PM ...where's my boat? I gotta go... The Discoverer, might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. Your overriding goal is to go where no one else has ever gone before. Regardless of the number of available natural problems to be solved, it is not unusual for you to continually challenge yourself with new situations or obstacles that you have created. You are an insatiable explorer of people, places, things and ideas. You thrive on constant change and anything new or different. On the positive side, you can be creatively rational as well as open minded and just. On the negative side, you might be an impractical and indecisive procrastinator. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms. Well atleast I have the sense to be in good company. (With the Ladies) Spud |

Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: GUEST,Karen Date: 18 Jun 01 - 05:16 PM Well, you know I won't. I'm a delegator. Alex, YOU do it! |

Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: zoogma Date: 18 Jun 01 - 05:13 PM would someone mind reposting the site? thanks Teri |

Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: mousethief Date: 18 Jun 01 - 05:09 PM Hey, will somebody bring some more wine over here? Us Dreamer/Minstrels get mickle dry singing and dreaming all the time! Wine! Wine! Wine! Alex |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: Jeri Date: 18 Jun 01 - 05:05 PM OK, how about all the Benevolent Rulers pick a day out of the year they want to be in charge. I don't mind going last, and will just take whatever's left over. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: GUEST,Karen Date: 18 Jun 01 - 05:01 PM No offense, but how is this Mudcat Kingdom supposed to run with all these Dreamer/Minstrels hanging around? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: mousethief Date: 18 Jun 01 - 04:25 PM Matt, we have no need to hear what you do with one hand. Alex |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: Matt_R Date: 18 Jun 01 - 04:01 PM LH......"too many movies and video games"????? I can count on ONE HAND how many movies I've seen in the last 6 years. And the last time I played a video game was 1988, when I was 9. I played it a few times...it was a video game version of "Gunsmoke" on an old Nintendo... |

Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: Naemanson Date: 18 Jun 01 - 03:03 PM Great fun! Apparently I am a Benevolent Ruler. Your distinct personality, The Benevolent Ruler might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. You are the idealistic social dreamer. Your overriding goal is to solve the people problems of your world. You are a social reformer who wants everyone to be happy in a world that you can visualize. You are exceptionally perceptive about the woes and needs of humankind. You often have the understanding and skill to readily conceive and implement the solutions to your perceptions. On the positive side, you are creatively persuasive, charismatic and ideologically concerned. On the negative side, you may be unrealistically sentimental, scattered and impulsive, as well as deviously manipulative. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms. |

Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: Little Hawk Date: 18 Jun 01 - 02:52 PM Now, how about royal food taster or grand high executioner? How come no one gets those? - LH |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: Morticia Date: 18 Jun 01 - 02:45 PM I got Discoverer....now, which way is the Americas? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: GUEST,Karen Date: 18 Jun 01 - 02:20 PM "Bwahahahaha!" yourself! Who's to say I wouldn't WANT to White Knight's lance under my shield (assuming he's male, of course)? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: mousethief Date: 18 Jun 01 - 02:17 PM That's long enough for the White Knight to get their lance in under your shield! Bwahahahaha! Alex |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: GUEST,Karen Date: 18 Jun 01 - 02:15 PM Here and I was going to say you Dreamer/Minstrel types weren't good for anything productive! Even a Black Knight can be momentarily swayed by compliments in lyrical form. But just momentarily, mind you! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: mousethief Date: 18 Jun 01 - 02:01 PM Minstrel/Dreamers don't joust. But if you do joust, I'll be happy to sing about it.
Karen the Guest Took the Ribbon
Now listen good people, I'll sing you a song
She came into the lists to a fanfare and gong
The dreamers and minstrels were singing a song
The fanfare was sounded, a hush filled the crowd
Their lances were leveled, their beavers were down
Then lances met shields with a deafening crack!
Now listen up, children, the moral I'll tell: ©2001 Alex Riggle. All Rights Reserved. PS yes, I know that charging horses don't hold their heads high. Shut up. |

Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: GUEST,Karen Date: 18 Jun 01 - 01:45 PM All right Alex. I challenge you to a joust. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: mousethief Date: 18 Jun 01 - 01:41 PM Ah. Black Knight=Republican. Alex |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: GUEST,Karen Date: 18 Jun 01 - 01:40 PM The Black Knight: "Your distinct personality, The Black Knight, might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. Your overriding goal is to win. You approach each task or situation as a contest to be won strategically and efficiently. Because you can control your feelings, it is not unusual for you to charm, as well as successfully delegate tasks and responsibilities to the more emotional types. You are often concerned with what's in it for you. You seldom involve yourself in activities where you can not foresee a reward for your investment or effort. On the positive side, you can be analytically empathic and logically persuasive. On the negative side, you may be unemotionally manipulative as well as arrogant, selfish and impulsive. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms." |

Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: CarolC Date: 18 Jun 01 - 01:37 PM Can someone post the qualities of the Black Knight? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: mousethief Date: 18 Jun 01 - 01:36 PM I notice nobody has drawn serf/peasant, or royal chamber-pot-emptier, or trebuchet fodder. Yet there must have been a couple of those in the middle ages, wot wot? Alex |

Subject: RE: BS: Medieval Personality From: mousethief Date: 18 Jun 01 - 01:25 PM I wonder if there's something going on here? A bunch of folk musicians (or hangers-on), and a large plurality of us turn out to be dreamer/minstrels. Hmmmm. Alex |
