So the British Empire was lost because we had too many foilists...

Right! Time to organise a cull!

*rounds up a posse of the finest sabreurs fencing.net has to offer.*

For The Empire!


*realises how outnumbered he is*

Ahem.

ANYWAY....

Hey, Silver, how's Liverpool's BUSA going this year? We didn't get the opportunity to fence you this time around! Hope it's all going well for you, and welcome aboard!

Nope, it was lost because there were too many tea-drinkers and opiate addicts (also the main reason Singapore and Hong Kong were rich)

as for the finest caveman-clubbers, bring it on - we'll just confuse you with our great command of the English language (instead of grunts and growls)

[BovineMadness]

Curses!

Darn you and your Family Guy quotations! I have been mightily smoten by your superior reasoning capabilities!

[D'Art]

Family Guy quotations??? I thought I was being original for once, quite upset now More of a Simpsons fan myself. All hail King Homer!!

[BovineMadness]

Ah, sorry dude. Never meant to crush your spirit

I'm on the fence between Simpsons and Family Guy. And trust me, it's a heck of a fence to be on.

[D'Art]

Don't worry - I have this arguement all the time with people who have actually watched mote than two minutes of the programme. maybe being a bit pig-headed, but hey, have you ever met a foilist who ain't?

[BovineMadness]

You've got to be to sit through all those white lights and RoW calls.

Also, do you like how we've totally 'jacked this once-legitimate welcome thread?

[DuckSoup]

I'm just confusing them, then when they're weak, move in for the kill. Cheap shot I know, but, hey, I'm a foilist

.......... . Me too. What's wrong with a little refinement in the kill?.....


Would you like lemon or milk with your tea?

Hasn't this been tried before? I believe history calls the previous attempt "The Charge of the Light Brigade"?

[kmak_577]

I will fight for the country (may i sugest we invade France , they must be used to it by now )
That ok ?

Armed with what? Ladyshavers and soap? Cos I for one ain't going over there to invade them with swords. And besides, if we conquered them, the world's white flag industry would be lost immediately....

Pfft! That was cheating!


Foilists should NEVER be given cannon.

[kmak_577]

good point well what about invading poland ummmmm who else has done that before ?

Kmak_577

[BovineMadness]

First we should weed out the treacherous foilists in our own country....

*eyes suspiciously*

They're out there.....contaminating new fencers with theirpokey-pokey-flechey-flechey.....

Ah, that's easy - couple dozen touches to the arm and they're gone. Now, if getting sabreurs to shower and do laundry was as easy ...

[Go? Fencing?]

To quote my old history teacher, "Who invaded Hitler? ...Invaded Poland, that would be Hitler."

[needle]

To quote my old history teacher, "Who invaded Hitler? ...Invaded Poland, that would be Hitler."

That's just most recent. Poland was invaded by almost everyone (except, maybe, the English and the Eskimo): Vikings, Mongols, Lithuenians, Teutonic knights, Tatars, Germans, Austrians, French, Russians, Ukrainians, Germans again, Soviets ... (I'm sure I missed a lot in that list).

[kmak_577]

Well maybe Hilter was a foilist and thats why his world domination plot backfired . But if we use subreurs we will not fail !!!!!! Iam so sorry for the person that just wanted us to say hi and it has ended up to be a English invasion of the world , ok .....MY invasion of the world

I'm sure those sneaky eskimos got their end in somewhere....does Poland have a thriving parka industry? That may be a giveaway.
