Medieval stocks...a hack job

I think the reference was to the rotten fruit that was thrown at people while in the stocks. I initially thought that tomatoes were anachronistic because they didn't appear in Europe until the mid 16th century but apparently the stocks never saw widespread use until earlier in that same century so you would definitely expect to see tomatoes being thrown at stocks prisoners.

Yeah, I was referring to people being pelted with rotten fruit and veggies!

(Not quote as anachronistically cringey as the use of watermelons in the film Dragonheart...which is supposed to be taking place in early medieval Europe! XD)

Yea, I kind of figured that. I just don't like the neighbor very much and any excuse is a good excuse...

Thanks, Reverend! I tend to make props that interest me at that moment. That's the great thing about "The Thriax" (basically 3 dimensions and a mysterious 4th dimension), I can make whatever I want and it will fit somewhere in my storyline...And yeah, it's cool to meet another 3A fan...we should make a 3A thread...lol

Posting photos of THreeA figures we love while talking trash about ThreeA as a company?! I'm in! (And based on your comments in the props thread, I think you are too)

Oh, I'm in but we may need to convince admins to dedicate a whole separate section to 3A...LOL...especially if other 3A fans are here or come here...
