Chaperon hats.

Oh oh oh oh oh oh!
JOUSTING!

We can do it with motorcycles this time instead of horses!

OH ALSO

Private Military contractors should begin to dress like crosses between clowns and noble-knights again.

(hours later addendum) Bowing as a form of social greeting. We REALLY missed a beat when we didn't bring this back when COVID made people afraid of getting too close to each other.

I watched the Knights of Valor (full contact jousting troupe) perform at the Glengarry Renaissance Fair a month ago.

It was the most exciting sporting event I have ever seen. I want it normalised in arenas where the knights have sponsorships and good insurance.

If I recal, only lords or people from royalty where able to not only afford the armor but they where the only ones who could compete...

So the jousters would be congressmen right?
