    I stated quite clearly that I knew it was a simple feign when I said "roosters don't steal eggs". Just because your intended action fails, doesn't mean it's my fault for not falling for it.

    Just like a foilist to argue after the point is made. No ref worth their salt will change a call because of a foilist's whimpering. The ref would merely reply "No sir, in epee there is no priority, you had no "right" to your attack, you walked into your opponent's blade". Enguarde

    Why should a dog care about the eggs? Roosters don't steal eggs, they protect the hen house from that. A rooster would not turn himself into something that would be counter-productive to his role. In fencing, the equivalent to Barnyard Dawg sticking his arm out and letting Foghorn impale himself (because he thinks priority will save him)

    Silly, silly foilists! They get so confused and don't know what's going on unless there is a ref there to tell them (or in this case an epeeist). Point right for Barnyard Dawg.

    Fencergrl does her best Barnyard Dawg imitation of pretending to sleep and ignoring the yappy rooster *Which coincidentally is a well-known epee tactic of not falling for a foilist's attempts at feigning an attack.

    My Dear,

    It is you who has been mislead. That flimsy ineffective weapon is awkward to hold much less do anything else with it. If I want something light and whippy, a sabre suits me just fine. Most of the time however, I find the firmness of the epee comfortable and always up for what ever task I require of it.

    However, perhaps being old and frail, the epee is a little bit too much weapon for you.

    There used to be more regulars to f-net who were Canadian. Right now we seem to be quite low in numbers.

    Qbranch is a fellow Canadian, which there isn't nearly enough of on f-net.
