you know you're a saber fencer

[sabrechick]

A few of us at Sac Fencing made our own list about a month ago, and we forgot to post it, so here's ours.

*If Mae Williams flings her toothbrush at you.
* When Mark Courtney (bout committee) plays matchmaker.
*If your whole conversation revolves around Jason Rogers
* When the second most important part of a tournament is to find a boyfriend/ girlfriend.
* when all the best fencers are drunk the night before a tournament.
*when your idiot school/work friends ask how often you get stabbed.
* if the refs are more hungover than the fencers.
* When English is the second most spoken lanuage.
*If you would rather be at a tournament than at home.
* When you go out to dinner with people in the bout committee, and HAVE FUN!!
* If you aren't surprised to see a coach that looks like Jesus, standing next to a person named Sabbath.

Keep adding.

When you blow a beautifully set up action in foil because you cut instead of hitting with the point (DOH!!)

When you have to stifle your urge to cut head when fencing foil!!

[Purple Fencer]

When you're switching from the foil strip to the sabre strinp, and that little voice in your head goes from saying "Parry, riposte with a disengage...and watch for a counter!" to "Uhhhh...Thag lunge!"
