Okay, I'll bite again and show my ignorance of early Horde history, despite
having read various things and having been given several early Horde song
tapes.   HAMMs?    I know we have a tradition of the Hamsters and
Penguins,  but I don't think this has  anything to do with that.

You predate me by 8 years in the SCA.  [Either you were born in it or like
me are getting really old by comparison to the twenty-something masses.
Not possibly a Pennsic baby I suppose? ;)  ]
I would have joined in 1969 had I known of a group closer than VA.
I would have joined in 1975 or 6 had the local tiny bunch not hid their
light under a trashcan.  I supplied the first public armory in this area.
Not that much of anything was like it is now.

Sounds like Master  Ioseph of Locksley may be in there somewhere.
As my wife's totem is the chipmunk obviously we are not in the Penguin
faction but aligned with the rodents.   I once authored a truly infamous sendup
of the Penguins, in honor of Master Yehudah of Nuremburg, in this case the
head Pelguin.  If it walks like a Duck....
Hordenet is something you have to develop a rather thick hide to engage in. ;)
I was on it for a few years.  Enough to practice my satire quite a bit.
I still post to it.  Just don't have time to read all of it.
There was a tremendous number of postings.
