On Kilts and Shotguns

Is ORF Inc. web master kidding us?

What type of idiots works for Peter Carroll. Seriously guys, I have nothing against men in kilts. Heck, I have nothing against shot guns. Or is that a high powered rifle? Seriously guys, why on earth are they promoting their Highlander weekend with a picture of a guy and his shotgun? I thought the only hand held firearms of the time were match locks and those were few and far between.

Slick Pete’s Law Firm

I sometimes wonder about the people Peter Carroll hires.  As an example; the food services people who can’t seem to keep track of food services law.   Now I have another example, his law firm.  Anyone who works at the Ohio Renaissance Festival knows Peter Carroll  has a major issue against adult content and especially nudity.  I remember a few years ago, when a woman took her shirt off after hours while dancing at a drum circle.  Despite being completely legal, Peter Carroll sent police looking for her the next weekend.  Of course we all lied about who she was.

How dumb is ORF?

So I post that the pretzels are uncovered and that is a violation of health code.  ORF responds by putting paper sleeves on them.  Knock knock guys.  Who’s there.  Common sense.  Common sense who?  Exactly.  It is becoming fairly obvious that portions of the staff and management of the Ohio Renaissance Festival are complete and utterly incompetant.

No more Star Strucks

This just in: You haven’t seen that “Star Strucks” sign this year have you?  Of course I wouldn’t know because I would never violate the order keeping me off the property.  That’s right.  Like the pretzels which have to be covered now having coverings, the electrical outlets which were replaced, the now slip shower mats which had to be installed,  and even Marietta getting fired; you heard it here first folk.  Even before it happened.

Code violations by the numbers

I tried and tried to settle this quietly but Peter Carroll did not care about thing like ADA violations until I made them public. Then ORF Inc. raced to comply. So I gave up, evidently they only listen when the information is made public. So here goes, I think the place is a fire trap and should be shut down for the good of the public. I wanted this kept quiet so they could fix things, but they do not care to listen.

First weekend review

Ann Frank was wrong.

Well, the first weekend of the Ohio Renaissance Festival’s 2008 season has come to an end and I have decided Ann Frank was wrong.  Author of the very well known Diary of Ann Frank, she stated firmly that beneath it all people are good.  I don’t think Slick Pete is good even deep down.  I think he is an uncaring bastard who really does like to hurt people deep down.  I think it makes him feel like a man.  I draw this conclusion due to the way he has treated people in the past and what is going on now that he met someone who will not tolerate his conduct.  Lets examine what has changed since this protest began especially those things different after the first weekend has closed.

Pretzel / Health code update

Food Service Manager to be fired?

Has anyone noticed the pretzels being sold off a pole are now covered by a paper sleeve? Yep, you heard it here first. Food has to be covered prior to sale. In the case of the pretzels walking around the park on the end of a long pole, this is to prevent bugs from landing on them and birds from pooping on them. They were not covered previously, this year they are in paper sleeves, why do you think that is? Because this protest is working and one by one the Ohio Renaissance Festival is making the changes that are demanded. One issue at a time, they are admitting that they were WRONG. Read more…
