    Just Introducing Myself

    Hi! I'm new here. I've been fencing for about nine months so I'm still a novice.
    So, what's the coolest thing about this place?
    Talk to much

    Welcome to the board! Don't pay attention to Stryder(Just kidding). This is a great board. This part of the board (water cooler), has kind of turned into a big story about the land of Arconia (long story). The other part, Fencing Discussion, is a great place to ask questions. Since joining the board, I've learned more about fencing than I would have at my club. Welcome a'board, again, and have fun.

    Welcome Bladette!

    The coolest thing about this board...... is that it is FUN and where else besides a big fencing tournament, do you have the opportunity to communicate your thoughts or ask questions just related to fencing.... and know that if you come to the water cooler, that most everyone else is a fencer just having fun!!!! Doesn't matter if you're brand spanking new, have years of fencing experience, or like myself, a few years way back then amd now returning to this wonderful sport!!!

    Welcome to the group...you have already seen a little sample of what we have to offer...just in this topic..puns, light-hearted vollies, and just random goofy discussion. Oddly enough reminds me of a tournament...imagine that.

    Plus you can occaisionally get some useful advise for your fencing.... Or at least spark a war of opinions that will quickly veer off-topc from whatever question you posed.

    And we're all certifiably insane

    No, really...I'm not schizophrenic (and neither am I!)

    I'm mostly harmless (Thank you, Douglas Adams)

    Yes...that's why I put it in.

    Interestingly, the artist for the comic strip "Get Fuzzy" must've been a hitchicker's fan...I've seen several visual references in the strip since Doug passed...including one of the charaxcters wearing a Sirius Cybernetics shirt.

    We now return to the on topic discussuion already in progress.

    Welcome to the board! As already mentioned DON'T PANIC everyone's pretty harmless.

    How do you pronounce your name? Blad-ette hints at someone deadly with a pint of beer or Blade-ette a girl who's probably nasty with a knife ?

    It's Blade -ette. And she's trying to be deadly.

    ps. not old enough to drink beer yet.
