Jenn Discusses Armor

While this most likely falls under the general heading of dorkiness, it also made my day, 'cause it's not every day that Jenn talks about chain mail.

Here is the text in full:

"OH! Jim! This is funny. Heck, I'm going to have to head to the chartafter this. So NIL couldn't quite work out what he wanted to dress upas this year (I guess it's big to dress up at Google.) He was toyingwith the CIA agent possibility, he was toying with the guy from aYouTube clip (search "white and nerdy" and you'll find it) OR, as aMr. King of Gondor. So he'd ordered some chain mail (how often do youget to type THAT sentence?) which arrived yesterday. He didn't havequite the rest of the gear....just chain mail top and sword, but hewas going to have to pair that with jeans, which seemed wrong somehow. He decided to hold off on the Hot King plan until next year. BUT, hewas up late last night researching the care and feeding of chain mail. This morning we had the following conversation:

NIL: You know, to clean chain mail, you're supposed to have yoursquire roll it down a big hill in a barrel with some sand.
JML: Really.
NIL: Problem is, I don't have a squire.
JML: Or a barrel.
NIL: Correct.
JML: I know where there's a hill though. We could probably find some sand.
