    I have noticed that most if not all armourers are nerds.

    We prefer the term 'geeks'. 'Nerds' have no marketable skills, you see.

    You are treading on thin ice, considering Craig is an Armorer. Armorers like to find out how things work and take things apart and put things together. At every major competiton, the first thing we do is show off our new toys, such as tools, test boxes we built, or different techniques. Probably geek would be a better term, but for most fencers, if their smart, it is best friend.

    Ah, and Mr. RL is bored, so he decides to stir the 'pot-o-sheit'. Get a life.

    So who works on your blades? You? I guess that makes you an Armorer. Hmmmmmmm. Ergo...........
    Remember those who put their lives in danger for your sake.

    As much as I enjoy arguing with RL I'm both an armourer in training and a geek so I have no defense.

    Being an armourer is a skill. Girls only want to date guys with great skills.

    Who ever said being a geek was a bad thing.
    Fleche!! Fleche for fantasy.

    No crap, sherlockke. Notice how most of the people who play cs are nerds, too?

    Nerds are, by definition, the people who are interested by this sort of thing. Technology, and stuff. Hobbies that you can learn alot about. Of course armorers are mostly nerds.

    I'm a good armorer, and yeah, I'm an ubernerd. So shut up, and dont go dissing the people that keep your sport running smoothly, and without crunchiness.

    And if Dan Dechaine's around, we all stand there drooling over his latest test box....I'm waiting for him to invent one that will automatically do a complete test...

    Such a pretty thing as well. Why would a girl want to be an armourer? Must be something to do with all those power tools lying around.

    As someone who is challenged by the task for repairing my own body cords, I think armourers are wonderful. And I thank God every day that I fence sabre and don't have to screw with tips and blade wires.

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

    You think Craig is gonna give a damn about RL insulting armorers if he hasn't banned RL for all the other stupid things he's said? Pull your nose out of Craig's anus you sycophant.

    That's only true in children's shows. When you get older you'll understand that women are as chaotic as men in their choices. Beyond that I won't explain anymore because you're stupid and shouldn't be allowed to reproduce.

    Actually, you're a geek. An ubernerd would have only intellectual skills, whereas you have developed technical abilities.

    I'm waiting for you to lower your prices and make a website that doesn't make me wanna jab out my eyes with a spoon. A bare Vniti FIE foil blade should not be $70, and your site navigation buttons should NOT be at the bottom of a page that takes more than four revolutions of a scroll wheel to reach.

    Stop flirting with girls you can't date. She's not even in the same country for cryin' out loud.

    For a homosexual, you certainly are a psycho person. Glad YOU can't reproduce. Please, don't adopt kids.

    Keep your mouth shut and be glad you're Australia's biatch, because if it weren't for Lord of the Rings being filmed in your country, no one would have even heard of New Zealand, kiwi-boy.

    BTW, you should consider changing your nick to "STUCKUPJACKASS" because ludicrous you are not.

    Whoah, easy tiger! Do you think I care if people haven't heard of NZ? Keep it uncrowded, please. I'm not trying to be that rapper (sigh, REALLY should stop using this nick) at all.

    Why must everything boil down to intercourse? "Oh, ho! I can't think of anything else more pertinent so I'll insult his manhood. I bet NOBODY will see THAT coming!"
