cyranoVR's Journal: What is Fencing?

Friends,

Fencing is on the cusp of exploding upon the American public, yet it occured to me that few people have a clear picture of the sport.

To rectify this matter, I have put together the following article:
What is Fencing?

Please take a few minutes visit and learn the basics of this fantastic sport.

WTF?

[WIAKywbfatw]

There's no mention of Touché Turtle anywhere in that link!

WTF Indeed

[cyranoVR]

WTF is Touche Turtle?

Please don't make me google for it

Re:WTF Indeed

[WIAKywbfatw]

Dude, you don't know who Touché Turtle is? And you're a fencer? Shame on you!

Sorry, but you'll have to go google. Think of it as a fitting punishment... and a reward.

I've never heard of him either. o_O

dude, so easy

Fencing is that stuff that keeps the rabble out of my backyard.

(does this make me a rabble-rouser?)

Hah. I, like Alf, kill me.

Locked yourself out on the street again, eh?

Oh! OTHER rabble... I gotcha.. ;)

Very nice article...

... for a 'french' sport ;-)

I kid... nice article. I never understood the differences in the swords (besides the swords, themselves). If I was to learn it, I think I'd be more of the epee type.

Re:Very nice article...

[cyranoVR]

Just curious: why do you think you'd specialize in epee? That's my weapon, btw.

Re:Very nice article...

Epee... defensive... testing your opponents defense.... strategic, yet when the attack comes, its do or die. Just seems like it'd be my style. I couldn't just 'hack around' like saber, and I know foil is just 'who can bend their swords the most to barely touch your opponent', which, I believe, is away from the tradition of swordfighting... its abusing the technology, IMHO.

Oh, and your sig kicks ass, btw.

Oh, and your sig kicks ass, btw.

Why dat?

Re:Very nice article...

[FortKnox]

Just a good combo of editor slapping with the 503... just made me laugh.

Re:Very nice article...

[cyranoVR]

Oh...kicks ass. For some reason I read that as "sucks ass"
