| For what? Generally chair but there could conceivably be situations where my answer would be reversed.
Is Matisyahu actually good or do people just like him for his beard?

Have you ever considered being Amish? | |

| Yes, but realized that I couldn't fence, as Amish people do not use electricity (the orthodox ones). So I sort of reversed my opinion.
What came first, the coach or the student?

So that means that person 1 -the eventual coach- had to learn fencing, or more likely sword fighting. Then person 2 -the soon to be student- had to find person 1 and ask instruction. Thus person 1 becomes the very first coach and person 2 become a student.
Or, in thesis 2; person 1 learns the skill of sword fighting and then just passes it on to other people -person 2 all the way to person x- in a clan/tribe/village so that they all know how to fight and survive as a group. Quote:

I how tea was first discovered?

| The Boston Tea Party. They discovered that when you put pot in water, it flavors the water.
How was your day? | |

*runs and hides* 
Back to topic: No, I'm not. As of today, I no longer am drinking soda pop of any sort. I can't stand the taste of coffee or tea, and I don;t eat chocolate much at all, so this effectively cuts caffeine from my diet. A very long day indeed. Tomorrow will be worse, and then around Friday I'll start feeling better.
What big plans do you have for tomorrow?

| Ooh, working late again - it'll be a blast! Staying late, working... doesn't get much better than that!
When was the last time you fenced?

When will be the next time you fence?

| Hopefully at a tourney this weekend.
Have you ever left something important behind at a far-away tourney (e.g. mask, weapon etc)? | |

| Thankfully no!
Have you ever thought you lost something, only to find it buried in your fencing bag?

| I know I've lost my keys in my bag several times.
Have you ever put something in your mask only to find it on your head when you put it on? | |

Have you ever forgot all your equipment before going to a practice?

| As a matter of fact yes! I have two fencing bags, one just filled to the top with practice swords and parts and one with my real stuff. One day I was late for open fencing, and as I rushed out the door I grabbed the wrong bag. Imagine my surprise when I opened the bag and out fell a rusty epee that I haven't seen in months.
Have you ever been disarmed by a target? By which I mean hit it, and had the sword fly out of your hand.

| Sounds like something I would do but I can't recall any specific instances. Maybe not then.
Do you watch much sport on TV?

Do you have any pets?
