Dublin Stories
I believe it was an An Tir/West War where there was a castle set up. Just before lay on Dublin backed into the castle, with a yellow and black braid hanging from his helmet. They looked at him but did nothing. When lay on was called he got 4 or5 of them and we got into the castle no problem. 😂
Lizard told me about Dublin the first time I met him. It was at an Acorn War. With the information that I was given I had a little fun. Dublin is on the other side and one of the fights we met. He runs by me and I spin and get him. He runs by you and smacks you in the back. When I took that away he had the biggest grin and said something like “tall people aren't supposed to be sneaky.”
Also reminds of Bar Gemels. We double killed like 10 times and I decided to change it up,,, he got me and said I was wondering when you would do that. Pete
Love and light to you both. You are both loved mightily. I really miss you both. Such good times watching SCA TV while lounging in your tent! That and the accidental recording of part of my biology lab on the tape I recorded Horslips the Tain on for you. It gets smaller and smaller and smaller... 😀 Christina
One of my favorite stories is the one Ambrose tells about the Crimson Sky where Dublin was the captain and kept stealing the opponents' rice bags by playing possum, then grabbing bags and rolling into the bushes with them. Erika
I met the Mighty Dublin 45 years ago. Dublin, you were a fresh faced college student then.
You were always the gifted story teller, regaling us with tales of your shenanigans, like the dorm Thanksgiving turkey: a frozen Turkey, thawing in a dorm room trash can, that became a Turkey football for an impromptu game in dorm hallways, which effectively tenderized the Turkey well! Your tale concluded with the roasting of the football/Turkey, still filled with the previously frozen giblets, and how absolutely moist and delectable it was when served!
And the story of the exodus from "Lemming Hall", from the second story window, using mattresses for safe landings still makes me giggle.
After revel revels held in our house in Springfield so often included trekkie gun fights. We found those little gun discs in corners, under carpets, and behind base heaters for years afterward! Some of my kids favorite memories are of you and those wild battles.
Yagar Stumpface was always ready for Shenanigans.
Dublin is a very special soul in my life! I love you much! Thank you for adding so much joy, light, and love to this existence. Bonnie
He once picked up one of my sword blanks and tried to run off with it he liked it so much...I think of that every time I make a new sword...I still make them the same.

So Max takes me and introduces me to lots of people and I end up sitting around the campfire, enjoying the stories and singing and really thinking I could hang with these folks.
Max turns to some little short dude and introduces me....said dude (Dublin) turns to shake my hand and stabs me right in the shoulder with his giant thistle broach....I still have the scar.....
He was funny and warm enough that I fell in love with the guy anyways....Chris Hall/UlfR
I just told the tale of Dublin and Murphy working together to throw and retrieve tennis balls at the war, and how Dublin would laugh while he loaded up the soaking dog slobber tennis balls in his chuck-it and hurl them back into the fray. Barbara
I don’t really have any stories because I'm the "newbie" but the past few years I've had people tell me...oh you gotta meet this dude he makes trouble fun and if you're the executioner well then he’s you're kind of fun
And then hey you're looking for stuff don’t bother because this guy Dublin, he probably already got all the good stuff you'll have to ask him.
And then of course Kate you taught my daughter how to crochet and then when she showed you the next year Dublin beamed at her that was the best thing ever. Elianna said she’s glad she got to learn from you and is happy she got to show Dublin and him being proud made her glad. Duvessa
I look forward to regaling friends and family about how Dublin taught me how to tell if the sake was ready to be served...You put your pinky finger in the top of the carafe and if it is hot enough for you to pull your pinky out with a Ooooh!, the it is ready. Lois
It's not one of those but this always meant a lot to me and try to do the same at every opportunity. It was December and everywhere was is full holiday splendor. Brave Dublin risked life and limb to traverse the modern mall. As he was walking the halls a little girl being escorted by a busy mom where walking the opposite direction and she joyful led pulled at her parent and exclaimed, "look Mom its Santa!!" Of course she was referring to Sir Dublin. The Mom didn’t appear too happy at that concept and then her by. As they passed the young girl kept watching when the jolly old elf himself turned around to her, winked and put his finger to his lips to share their secret.
I love this so much. Every child deserves a bit of magic in their lives and I know he has done that sorta magic for children all along. Thank you Dublin! Ke'Nan
One of my first An Tir/West wars, where I was an actual combatant. Maybe wind war. I was sitting with Dublin, Sigurd, Byron and I think Atli and Finn.
We were going over what we could to cause utter chaos to the West.
So as we are all shooting the breeze and bellowing are soon to be bravado, we notice Dublin giggling, and start walking backwards to the kingdom of the west's lines. As we are trying to figure out what he might be up to, we finally agree upon a three prong charge. And we would all try to push to the Wests banner. During this time Dublin has made it to the Wests line, and has wiggled his butt into there second rank.
The lay on is called and with great gusto we start charging as we wait to see what Dublin has done or is about to do. When we get about 30 yards or so from the great crescendo of meat slapping meat and shield to shield chaos, Dublin starts killing from behind while hooting and hollering. Running back and forth till he was able to wiggle and squirm his way out and meet up with the rest of are war band.
I later asked him why he did what he did. And he calmly stated, they never suspect the little guy the first time, everybody is worried about this and that and all the grand things in war. So I gave them a big ole surprise , so they had something to remember us by. Sean
I remember watching him shoot those stupid pressurized water bottles at the enemy during one of my first Autumn Wars. The little guy was a hoot!
I remember throwing Barak a party on his 35th. We had to kick Duke Davin and Duke Thorin out of our basement in the wee hours so you and Dublin could go to bed. Jim
So many stories, and memories, of times we shared... One that immediately comes to mind was when we drove from Olympia to Summits Investiture for your stepping down as Prince and Princess, and Yagar gradually "went mad"...
... and later, after the event, when the Olympia contingent was stranded in Eugene, halfway home, you came and rescued us and drove us the rest of the way back to the house at Mud Bay... Fjorlief
That wasn't Jaegar going mad on the throne. I would never sit a throne with Jaegar Stumpface. Alas, t’was Dublin, gone mad on the throne, the Hospitallers came and removed him, such was our stepping down. Kate
