Hey - I took my first private epee lesson last week. And it made sense.  This is getting to be an expensive obsession. But at least I don't have to buy a lame for this one.

Good advice, you wonderful EPEEist ;-) Alain

| For this upcoming sabeth I humbly suggest another round of EPEE solidarity with our brother and sister scholars of truth! Lets pass that EPEE rep collection plate around again! What do you say?

Thanks for noticing

English people are allowed to compliment people without making a pass, aren't we..? 
Aaaaaaanyway... for all you lady épéeists out there: you're wonderful, beautiful, and simply amazing, have you lost weight? For the male épéeists: nice one, mate. Everyone: keep up the good work!
Have a good weekend everyone | |

I've been told that words with Hebrew roots cannot have both the letter "A" and the letter "E" - it's strictly an either or situation...
People who think their name is "Jared" should be spelling it Jered or Jarad.
BUT that point aside, yes Mr Epee will be passing the plate and he hopes that no one has fallen asleep. Cvlle you have already received EPEE points this morning, so you're blocked for a while.
UP the EPEEs!!!

Just kidding but I couldn't resist. | |

I am an epeeist at heart, I find I am treading on that fine line before you fall over and become a “serious” fencer... so I guess add my name to this chain letter | There is not a binary opposition between slow and jumpy bouncy. I'm one of those jumpy hoppy fencers, but I definitely take my time in setting up an attack...or if I'm more than a couple points ahead I hardly attack at all | |

Don't you hate it when people ask you 'have you lost weight?' I have never needed to lose weight and never have lost weight, yet people use this stupid remark as a complement. It seems to me like they're saying "hey, you looked horrible before, but you're looking better now, thank God."   I know people don't mean it that way, but it drives me crazy.
