Today, I am fed up with money-grubbing petty little people who only live to put one over on the next person. Sadly, the city where I live is full of such unrefined crass nasty types. True, they've never actually done anything to me, but then again I don't associate with such people, and their simple abundance here lessens my enjoyment of what otherwise is a great place to live.
Just because you have the right, that doesn't mean it is right.
I just bought my LP foil a while ago and someone wanted to see it. I couldn't think of any excuse not to let him see it besides covering it with my body and saying "NO! Mine!!!" so I let him see it. (He's a 7ft tall senior, I am a lanky 6ft tall freshman) He seemed to know atleast a bit about fencing since he held the pistol grip right, rather then having the index finger where the thumb goes. Upon returning it to me, he decided to flip it up and hand me the grip. He underestimated the weight of the grip compared to the rest of the blade and dropped it... It landed on concrete. Right on the rear protrusion. Ruined the insulation on the most common place for a weapon to ground on... ;_;
I hate ellipses and would strike them from the English language if I could.
What are ellipses? These lovely things: ...
People use it all the time...like this...to show that they're thinking really hard while they type...and have to pause occasionally...to organize...more...thoughts.
Or they use it to make a sentence trail off into nothing even if it was perfectly fine without it...
Makes it sound like some sort of implication even in the most mundane sentences.
Example: I bought some bread. It was good...
Finish the sentence. Use one period. It's not hard. Commit, god damn it. I hate reading internet posts or emails that have nothing but sentences that trail off. It makes me want to rip my hair out.
Some of my favorite posters here never ever ever use ellipses.
The solution to your problem is to fence another weapon.

Oh dear.... opps, I'll try to not use ellipses so often. There. Much better. I have control over my right hand. No!!!!! don't do it Fencergrl............................ ahhhhhhhhhh I cannnnnnnn't stopppppp!!!!!!
This may take some time.

What ever happened to this country? This: the "greatest generation" were sucky parents. As were their children. And mystically, things fall apart when that goes on.

If you can fool your friends, you can fool your enemies...
When talking about equipments, why is n00b only cares about colors and other useless fashion items instead of functionality? Then again, that's why they are beginners, regardless how long they have fenced.
[see the Birthday thread, I seem to have placed my Soapbox in the Birthday thread on the occassion of my past birthday, which was duely noted by the Fencingnet people of dot net.
How come it's six years after 9/11 and ground zero is still just a big empty hole in the ground? And they haven't even knocked down that one demolished building next to it yet? That's just pathetic. Where's the American can-do spirit, the gumption, the know-how? Where's the New York attitude? Where's the git-r-done builders and workers? It's pathetic and I am so ashamed of what it says about us. I'm angry. Rant off.
Well, now it's 7 years, and still no change. Just a big hole. I agree, it is pathetic and shameful.
