What is your totem animal as a fencer?

[D+F+P=Hadouken!]

I say the sting ray... along the oceans floor unoticed until its too late and the venom is in your stream. Its an epee animal.

[DangerMouse]

You left out "house cat." As an epeeist, I sit there twitching and then pounce. And half the time I then walk away pretending it never happened

[Peach]

I dunno. My house cats have a tendency to spend most of the time pretending everything never happened.

I am having a hard time thinking of a good fencing totem. My first random thought was Madagascar lemur, but having watched myself on video I took I think a better one would be a mature golden retriever. That has no glamor, however. I need something that doesn't move a lot and makes a lot of noise.

Is this lesbian stuff?

Consider the raccoon: Often well mannered, intelligent, dexterous and methodical. Outwardly cuddly and sweet looking - sometimes sneaky like a cat, often a thief. Get one pissed off and you've got one mean a$$ed, fast, sharp, hissing ball of nastiness, with the growl of much larger predator.

Sounds appropriate.

One time a raccoon came into my coaches house and ate one of his kittens. Now he traps them in his kitchen, herds them onto the deck, and kills them with a metal pipe.

Bout to say... My cat kills possums.

Wolves are not ravening--this is propaganda and absolutely not true--the Little Red Riding Hood Syndrome.

I think you need more cats/snakes/etc., for fencing totems. Any pack animal is almost by definition not a good fencing totem--some suggestions:

Terrible tiger
Pacing panther
Jumping jaguar
Languid lion
Striking serpent
Mischievious mongoose
Stinky civet cat (for those guys and gals who just can't seem to wash their uniforms...)


(for some of those tall, long-armed epeeist)--Hunting heron...

I'm the hunting heron.

My dad's friend Rod e owns around 50 rabbits. He LOVES his "bunnies", and one time a skunk broke into the GIANT hutch that he has... and went on a killing spree... Rod went INSANE and then like... took a semi-automatic gun and a water hose... flushed out the skunk with the hose and emptied like... 18-22 bullets into the skunk. Rest assured... the skunk was VERY dead.

[D+F+P=Hadouken!]

yah think he liked his bunnies.... that skunk probably wasnt in shape to get taxied?

[D'Artag-NOT]

My totem must be the chimera.

During lessons, I've been told I must defend myself like a hedgehog, lunge like a cat, and glide like a swan. Now I'm learning the semi-extended I'm-So-Harmless feint, which, in honor of "Shrek 2", I refer to as the "Puss-in-Boots Attack". You also need to watch your opponent like a hawk, float like a butterfly, and sting like a bee!

Thanks, since I'm a 'Bama alumnus!

Where's the 'weasel' option? I know there's going to be at least 1 vote for it...
