From the UsedWigs folks, the new Used FAQs blog collects eclectic FAQS snipped word for word from all kinds of Web sites. Out of context, many of the questions and answers are delightfully strange and funny. Here are two posted this week:
Can I bring my favorite sword or knife?
Every convention is different when it comes to a weapons policy – some allow them when worn as part of a costume (though they usually have to be "peace bonded" meaning they are secured to the scabbord and cannot be quickly drawn or dropped in accident. Some conventions have a strict weapons policy – check with the convention staff or web site before taking it with you.

How can I use a Barney Fife Impersonator at my next event?
The Deputy can operate in many ways. From a quick surprise "Hit and Run" appearance – to a wandering act all day at a fair or festival. At a company party, for example, Barney may show up during dinner and "arrest" a few retirees. Or he may interrupt the Big Cheese as he addresses the employees. He may help hand out name tags, awards or check ID's at the door. He's interrupted bands that were playing "cheesy music" and even improvised a song about the group while the band played back-up! At a fair or festival Fife can emcee the main stage, welcome guests at the gate, remind them to travel safely as they exit, or follow folks around and pose for photos.
