Defined With Distinction This game is intended to fine-tune our understanding of our fellow fencers' personalities.
It is very simple:
Pose a question to the next poster, asking them to choose between two things that are VERY similar, but not quite.
For example, you might ask whether they prefer hot chocolate or hot cocoa. Or you might ask whether they'd prefer to have a scotch with Karl Rove or Dick Cheney. Or you might ask whether they prefer hockey skates or figure skates.
The next person has to answer the question, and EXPLAIN their preference, before posing another.
The more similar the choices are, the more effective the game.
The first responder gets to choose one of the examples I just gave, and has to explain in addition why that example was chosen.
Your turn! Just because you have the right, that doesn't mean it is right.

Figure skates. I like hockey quite a bit, and one can go faster on hockey skates, however, it's incredibly difficult to do much of anything (IMHO) without a toe pick. Hence, Figure Skates.
Which is better vodka, Stoli or Absolut?

Neither.
I have a russian friend who says "I wouldn't even urinate in the vodka you non-russians drink." That includes both listed options. I've taken his word, that we don't know what we are talking about. I can't actually tell the difference as I drink vodka with a mixer. Another friend has a Russian girlfriend and assures me that the vodka we commonly drink outside of Russia is indeed horses urine - although he has never managed to supply me with a bottle of the "good stuff".

Blonde or Brunette? One test is worth a thousand opinions.

Brunette. Something about the contrast with dark hair framing a fair face.
Hot cocoa, or hot chocolate? Just because you have the right, that doesn't mean it is right.

Hot chocolate. In my mind at least, chocolate is sweeter than cocoa (it is in real life, too), and I also have a tendency to say hot chocolate more often, probably because of my regional dialect.
A horror movie or a thriller? Think about someone you know of "average" intelligence. Then think that half the world is dumber than that.

A good thriller- right now anyway. I'm still riding the wave of coolness that was SAW. I honestly think that is one of the creepiest movies I have ever seen.
Basic, or Pascal?

Cuppa joe. I can't taste the difference between various types of coffee, they're all alike to me. Seriously.
Boxers or briefs? Just because you have the right, that doesn't mean it is right.

Hershey's Kiss plain, or Hershey's Kiss with almonds? But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Epee fencing, or sex? "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. And from this side only! The flight of a half-man, half-bird. Dinosaurs nuzzling their young in pastures where strip malls should be. Cookies on dowels. All those moment, lost in time. Gone, like eggs off a hooker's stomach. Time to die" -Phil Ken Sebben

Lo Mein or Rice rice. straight up white rice, with nothing on it. it's delicious. (really, no sarcasm in the answer)
