Not that you seem to know much about comedy. Poor thing. I suppose it goes with being an epeeist... | |

| Excellent observation, Ess. But I think you failed to consider the long-term ramifications of your plan on the underrepresented members of the epee community whose voices are not heard on this forum but who nevertheless suffer from the politics of alienation demonstrated by your suggestions, as evidenced by the document I have attached.

Alternative answer....
Best not to be able to see sabre fencers... besides you can smell where they are in the dark!

| None. The smell that they accumulate makes them able to locate each other. It is sort of like a god sniffing his way around to find things, except the only thing exceptional about a sabeur is their smell, not the ability to smell.

| How many foilists does it take to replace a light bulb?
None. The old bulb cannot be replaced, it has ROW.

| how many sabreurs does it take to change a light bulb?
eight: two to charge at each other screaming, one to call the halt and four to abstain from making any claims. the eighth guys runs and gets someone to change the light bulb.
how many sabreurs does it take to change a light bulb?
"if we fenced dry, we wouldn't have to change light bulbs!"
how many foilists does it take to change a light bulb?
trick question; changing light bulbs is too practical for foilists.
how many SCA geeks does it take to change a light bulb?
"a light-what?"

| How many epeeists does it take to change a lightbulb? Unknown, they just stand there bouncing and making tentative thrusts toward the empty socket until time expires.
Bored now. You guys really should try something more original than this...  | |

| I'd have to agree with Inq here. It's getting dull watching you boys lobs insults at each other. Ahh, the beginnings of this thread, where we had stirring sermons, and the possibility of more pictures of Mr. Epee and his friend Santa to look foward to... those were the salad days.
I need to point something out. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but here it is: epee killed my foil game. I can't do foil anymore. Not just that I don't like it - I can't do it. *sigh* Score one for the big weapon.
