Russ has a theory about King Richards Faire. When you first get there you're all psyched up about it; ready to take in a joust, watch the crazy fire-eater, eat a leg o' meat. You're excited. Then each time you buy a sheet of food tickets, pay a few bucks to go through the torture "museum", or get taken in on the carnival games your level gets knocked down a notch. Then you get to the joust, which ends in what appears to be an abruptly stopped all out brawl (to be continued at the 5pm showing), and your level gets notched lower and lower. Then you leave disgusted that you spent so much on food, and suspecting a scam at every turn.
