    I thought you would post, "We salute you." Would have been genius, old chap.

    Also, mine is something like, "I QUIT FENCING FOREVER!"
    The solution to your problem is to fence another weapon.

    Am I missing something?

    My battle cry goes something like "please, let one of my weapons pass weight. Just one. Please."
    (And the one that passes weight is the one with the loose grip, the outside hex nut, the tool for which I forgot at home, and no tip tape, which I also forgot.)

    My battle cry is one of these.. Kaaaaaiiiyaaaa! Chaiiiiyaaaa! Or Aaaaiiiiiya!

    Now, when I fall off of a wall at climbing it sounds like this : AUCH!

    If I miss a touch, it's 'Kiat!' if I get one, see my battle cry. Now, I have my own language. Tiala fi amo oa.

    I have a pretty long gate, so I can advance lunge and hit my opponent from the on-guard lines. If its a beginner, or in an open tournament where there are a lot of beginners, I just take the touch, turn around shaking my head and walk back to my line while my opponent stands on his and says..."that was...uh...how did you do that?"

    Just to be a tool, if that was the first touch of the bout, I ask how much time is left. Usually only a second or two ticks off the clock.

    I have done the exact same move to a guy eight times in a row before. My battle cry was: "God, why do you let me keep doing this to this guy."

    Why sabre? Because you don't take heads with the point.

    Yep. Definitely missing...something. One heck of a cartoon, which was first a comic book (I believe). "Spoon!" was his battle cry.

    And now for the actor's battle cry...

    "Not the face!"

    I used to be so happy when my weapons passed that I'd kiss the bell guard. Kid you not.

    No, it's from Fried green tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café. (I think that's the correct title in english.)
