    My Coach Can Beat Up Your Coach

    Since some of the people on rec.sport.fencing were grousing about the quality of threads here, I thought I would start a new, informative, comprehensive, and well thought out thread.

    My coach is 28 and his knees are already critically injured, so I'm going to agree with that.

    My coach is French ;-)

    The last time my coached fenced properly he had to sub in for a friend who was injured at 35-40 (I think) other teams way in the State Championship final,my coach won and spent 2 weeks with dodgy legs.

    My coach could beat your coach anyway, he's Australian and that means more manly that some fancy pantsy Ukrainian or what-not.
    I'm so cool; put me in a fridge and it gets colder!
    I'm Australian and that makes me MANLY!

    My coach is pretty short, but can move so fast all you see is a blur.

    I'll have to side with Veeco on this one. When was the last time you saw an Australian or Kiwi at the top of the world.

    BTW, my coach is French

    Fighting about which wine is better doesn't count.

    Neither does fighting to get the best baguette available count.
    I mean, I'm not a fighter, but I would fight for those.

    Damn, tasty baguettes. You french, with your wee beady eyes, that taunt and mock me saying 'Oh you'll buy my baguettes, because I've put in a secret ingredient that makes you crave it fortnightly!'

    Not that I'm bitter that I don't live in Paris or anything...

    My coach is 7'8" and has sporadic bolts of lightning coming from his a**. They tried to ban him because sometimes it would (the electrical discharge) land on the wall sockets and blow everything out. But they said as long as he wore insulated breeches, they would let him fence. Anyway, he went on to win 15 world titles or something, and then he was forced to retire after he once forgot to wear his specially made insulate-breeches, and caused power outages across seven districts.

    Of course, I made that up.

    My coach coached Jessica Beers(spelling*embarrassed*), our only fencer at Athens. She didnt win, though

    Theres even a framed thank you note-type thingy from her to our coach.
    He now sports a pair of "Athens Olympics, NZ" of tracksuit pants.
