    For a while I thought about taking some basic classes they offer at the Memphis Metal Museum, but I never got around to it. Might have something to do with the fact that it's in a pretty bad part of town.

    Good idea, but first you have to find a "spreading chestnut tree" under which to set up shop.

    I just saw it (I think). Is the blacksmith really sleazy and effeminate and looks like he wouldn't last five seconds as a blacksmith?

    The cheesy dish looks pretty damn tasty though.

    If you do, contact me or any 18th or 19th century reenactor. We're always looking for blacksmiths to do public demonstrations at reenactments.

    That is a lame reason to not go. I would have provided backup for you!
