| New Fencing Slogans
Recent posts have me thinking about improving the image of Fencing in general and epee in particular, and I thought it would be fun to put all of our collective creativity to work thinking up new advertizing slogans, in the vein of Got Milk? and the like.
Got Bruises?
Have at it!

| 'Fencing - It Doesn't Hurt Quite As Badly As You'd Think!'
If that doesn't work, nothing will.

| I've been meaning to get a group picture of us all in our jackets, arms wrapped around ourselves (not each other) to post on the club website. Caption: We're just two straps away from a straitjacket! | |

| Fencing -- Because it's Time.
Actual tagline slogan from a promotion video produced for the USFA about 3-4 years ago. Video didn't go over all that well as the primary message seemed to be "hey, we want you to sponsor fencing because, uhm, well, because we think you should and we'd really kinda like it if you did". Don't think it was every actually mass-produced or distributed to target sponsors.

| Fencing – Just say yes.
Fencing - more fun than you can poke a foil at!
"Will Fleche For Food"
If at first you don't succeed lunge, lunge again.
Fencing - a practical alternative to anger management.
Fencing - we take poking to a whole new level.

| Epee - it's almost a palindrome!
Sabre - you can whack people on the face!
Foil - Our sport is being constantly, drastically changed in new directions by a Bush-like leader who refuses to switch policies despite the objections of the fencers themselves, and even by the entire federations! | |

| My sig: "If you can dodge a wrench, you can parry a blade." 
or the other version was to parry the wrench instead of dodging it, but I don't know if that sounded right.
