Question game

[Go? Fencing?]

Nope.

I'd best get to bed, it's pretty late here.

Do time zones annoy you?

[JackOfHearts]

Yes they do. I was discussing that very subject with another friend of mine on here the other day. If the world were flat, There'd only be one time zone.

Sweet Dreams, G?F?

New Question:

What are your thoughts on Honor?

[Black Jeebus]

Well, honor is something I had drilled into me in highschool, and as a result I often wake up in a cold sweat mumbling "I am a cadet and I will not lie, cheat, or steal. Nor will I tolerate those that do."

Do you honor all your debts or do you skip out on them?

[Guymelef]

I always honor my debts. It's my face I have to look at in the mirror.

Borrowing from another thread: Do you salute because you have to, or because you honor your fellow-fencer?

[Go? Fencing?]

Because of the respect that's due.

Do you have a simple or a fancy salute?

[Goofy]

Because of the respect that's due.

Do you have a simple or a fancy salute?

A simple one, and only because it's required.

What would a 'fancy' salute consist of, though?

[Go? Fencing?]

Lots of flourishes. I've seen some people go kinda silly with it (mostly when they were trying to be silly).

Do you need two hands to put your mask on, or just one?

[Rapier_wit]

I use both, one to hold the mask at the bottom while I slip my head in and another hand to hold to tab in the back.

Is it good to have traction on the bottom of your shoe versus a flat sole for fencing?

[Go? Fencing?]

If you're fencing my team, you need lots of traction, because we're only allowed to fence in the cafeteria, which has a very slippery floor.

Do you have special shoes (not necessarily fencing shoes) that you use for fencing?

[QueenofSwords]

Yes, my ratty old sneakers that seriously need to be put out of their misery...

How did you come up with your signature?

[Rapier_wit]

I don't have one. Any suggestions?

[QueenofSwords]

Something witty!

Have you ever played Smack the Penguin?

[Guymelef]

I don't have one. Any suggestions?

How about:

WAR: n. A by-product of the art of peace.

I think it goes nicely with your handle and chosen hobby. Rough estimate in figure or percent: how many signatures may be Shakespeare derived on the .net?

[Epee_Pox]

Have you ever played Smack the Penguin?

Yes, but they kept pecking me back. Ow.


So how come, if you leave the earth at close to the speed of light for a few weeks, when you come back the rest of us would have been dead for hundreds of years, when relative to you WE were the ones traveling so fast?

[Fencergrl]

Actually everyone is hiding.... so remember to be kind to others so they don't stuff you in a rocket and send you off into space.

Have you ever been surpised with a party in your honour?

[Epee_Pox]

Do "necktie" parties count?

[Fencergrl]

I guess one could consider them a surprise.... although again... if you're friends are throwing them for you.... {see previous comment}

Do you wear out your sneakers/running shoes often?

[Nusy]

Not too often - due to an injury, I'm not allowed to run...

Are you jealous (I mean for not running)?

[Go? Fencing?]

No, but I can't run for too long anyway, my knees get weak.

Do anything fun today?

[Fencergrl]

I'm about to run out for sushi... mainly because I had a brain-f'art and thought our company luncheon of roast lamb was today and not next Friday, so I didn't bring my lunch.

Do you like greek food?
