That's not fencing; it's armed dancing, dummy.

Jean Luc is prancing around and taunting the fat slow stupid annoying Guinan.

He missed him. He missed him. Now he has to kiss him.

If I had to guess, I'd say that Team Germany's Peter Joppich (L) fights against Italy's Andrea Baldini during the Men's Team Foil competition at the 2011 World Fencing Championships in Catania on October 16, 2011.

doglover is into fencing I think.

Marysue's answer sounds plausible and I don't want to know how she knows.

I think my Weeners wins for brevity and clarity.

That's what Art said

intricate mating ritual.

Olympic fencing is goofier looking than Olympic speed walking is what is going on. I have never looked forward to seeing a sport and then been so disappointed with it in my life as when I first watched fencing at its highest levels.

god damn it. It's too farking early in the morning to remember this filter nonsense.

Fencing isn't real. It's just a scheme concocted by the British back in the 1800's to try and intimidate the world with their army of superb sword fighters. The plan eventually was foiled when the British remembered the rest of the world had acquired firearms, and thus was born the saying, "Don't take a knife to a gun fight." when Indiana Jones wiped out an entire regiment single handedly at the battle of Yorkshire Pudding.

haha. bless you, sunday morning admin.

Jazz hand?

Looks like gay foreplay. NTTAWWT.

WTF Indeed: Is anyone else uneasy with Marysue's extensive knowledge with a blade?

She's fast becoming a candidate for my zombie-apocalypse resistance team.

One story that I always will remember from my father was that his school required a specialized gym class to be taken. He took fencing and read up on the rules - and knew how to do the minimum and have the other person disqualified. After winning a couple of tounaments, he was told that the gym requirement would be removed for him because of how he was winning. If he left the team ASAP. So he got to focus on his studies.

Not that he turned into a couch potato like me - he was a scout for Patton in WWII and was in great shape.

Sooo.... What do people call you for short around here?

Numfar! Do the dance of Joy!

Schadenfreude ist die schoenste Freude: /christ I need a shorter username

Also less German. Why do you hate America, Hitler?

It's the classic "Ecky Thump" defence

Marysue: No gingers. Sorry.

Well, fark it then.

i will take the gingers. we can hide from the day star together.

No gingers. Sorry.

STFU

THE ARMY ASSEMBLES

Lan: Blood and ashes Rand, that's not one of the moves I showed you!

Schadenfreude ist die schoenste Freude: Also less Somali. Why do you hate ocean-bound commercial vessels, Pirate?

Somali pirates are giving my kind a bad name. They don't even have parrots or sing songs while raping and killing.

That's called an etoufee

middleoftheday: That's not fencing; it's armed dancing, dummy.

So what's that dance called? The Fart-Knocker Double-Inverted Nad Twist?

Marysue: I can't be letting my hormones interfere with my survival plans.

How about the post-survival plans, then? I mean, there has to be a zombie after-party, right?

I was thinking more:

Rusty Shackleford: Fechtstellung einnehmen!

Thanks for the tip, Rusty. I'd never even heard of that film before, but after quick a bit of Internet Sleuthing based upon your picture, I now have the movie firmly in Netflix queue.

imapirate: WTF Indeed: Is anyone else uneasy with Marysue's extensive knowledge with a blade?

Sorry, but I have dibs on rostit. I'm fairly sure that if we can make it to my welder friend in Canada they could build anything.

Obviously, he is using Bonetti's defense, it seems fitting considering the rocky terrain.

I thought this was about another kind of fencing
