| My dear... there is nothing like almost virginal epee fencers like yourself to provide us with a stirring sermon…. An alternative would be for more male epeeists to send nude/ semi-nude pics of themselves to S’wench & I…. Either would be quite stirring….

| Well! I know something in *me* just stirred at that thought! Ah yes, epee - one fewer layer to have to wear... or remove... Is it getting hot in here?

Ack! Ack! *runs to hide fragile eyes*
Swordwench - Fear not, for though you have lost a friend in foil, you've gained a family in epee.
And yes, it is getting much to hot in here....  | |

And don't be knockin' the idea of those pictures, kiddo. We saw some interesting stuff a few months back. Shrinking violets they're not, these boys.

| It's like being pregnant or dead: either you are or you aren't!
Oh good lord, I'm afraid to ask how you saw. *shakes head* Silly boys.
I tried dabbling with foil once, but it was no match for the calling on my heart from the epee. Sabre just doesn't even enter in the picture. | |

| Akin to the lightbulb question:
How many posts will it take for Inq to admit he wants to be an epeeist?
We're still waiting for the lightbulb to go off over his head... | |

| I fenced a bit of foil over this last week with some dedicated mid-level skilled foilists. I kept catching their blades on my teensy itty bitty foil bell guarde, and remising instead of politely stepping back after being parried. ... Drove 'em up the wall. | |

Drove 'em up the wall. | if you caught their tip on your teeny tiny bell guard then they "parried themselves" and you riposted.. i think that's how they call it.. that's why i hate foil!! just give me the red and green only!! | |

| I watched some epee at a tournament this past weekend. It was pretty interesting. I especially like how they can stand there with their arms sticking out, barely moving for what, two minutes straight? That must take a lot of training and self-control...
