| You're a fencing nerd if...
I don't know if anyone has started a smiliar thread before, but let's make a "you're a fencing nerd if" list... to start off
You're a fencing nerd if...
- You visit the fencing.net forum
- You actually read and post on it
- You smell like your fencing gear
- You've done footwork in shops while shopping
- You say "That's so lamé!" instead of "That's so lame!"

you're a fencing nerd if your first reaction to ANY thread on fencing.net is
"oh god, not that thread again"

| You're a fencing nerd when you're standing up in front of a room giving a presentation and you notice you're gripping the pointer and practicing parry 4 -- parry 6 -- parry counter 4 -- parry counter 6 while giving the briefing.. | |

| You don't have a right and left foot, you have a front and a back foot.
You don't have a right and left hand, you have a weapon hand and an off hand. | |
