You know you're a fencer when you get up, lift up the toilet seat, and as it immediatly starts to fall you drop down, extending your fencing arm to catch it, almost as ifyou were going for a toe touch.

...when you put your hand in front of your eyes to block the sun and think "Ooh, hey, parry prime."

who the fsck is rammstein ??

shyHeidi · 06-10-2002, 08:50 AM

Hahaa... Rammstein is a band that plays with fire alot and does funny little skits involving a hose at their concerts... and the guy sings in a really low voice in german and every once in awhlie in english but I still can't understand it... and it rather gets stuck in your head if you listen to it too much, so look out, but they've got fun concerts, at least the one I went to years ago was...

AndrewH · 06-10-2002, 11:15 AM

Yep Rammstien is very fun and are great musicians, it doesn't matter if you don't know German, the tone of voice sort of conveys the message. Check out Du Hast, Spiel Mit Mir, and Tier for some of their best stuff.

U know you are a fencer when one of your friends has a bad day and your immediate reaction is to take them to hte gym and teach them how to attack a punching bag with a foil. (Dont Laugh this is what I did today!!!! Bloody Australian MEN!)

Give him a nice two-hander and let him take the bag to bits - much more satisfying.

I could've got free tickets to Rammstein's gig in Glasgow recently - but I was stuck on b****y night shift. And here I am again...

Hey Pa55w0rd! Hope the holiday went ok at least you managed to escape the whole Jubilee hullabaloo.

Gav it was a her and as satifying as that would have been, I somehow dont think gym management would have appreciated it!

anybody in here fans of or ever heard of OAR?

Zelda · 06-11-2002, 12:56 PM

U know you are a fencer when you realise you have hit 1600 posts on a fencing board and are still finding new things to talk about!!!!

shyHeidi · 06-12-2002, 07:50 PM

*sigh* You know you're a fencer when you realize you're getting frustrated because you don't have enough strength in your hand to properly brush your teeth without the aid of your last 3 fingers.

It's getting bad, yeah, I know.

If a car stops suddenly in front of you, and you crash into it, it's their fault for stopping so suddenly, but since you're the one moving forward, doesn't that give you right of way? <img src="graemlins/dunce.gif" border="0" alt="[Dunce]" />

Man, I love the way they spell that song! I think what they had in mind was "Du Hasst". That means "You Hate". What they actually always print is "Du Hast". That means "You have".

You know you are a fencer when you start practicing your parrys while waiting in line at the supermarket.

Zelda--- How did the bloodied Australian take your reaction?

Zelda · 07-09-2002, 03:02 PM

He doesnt actually know....but I think he may get an idea when he next arrives at the swimming pool and walks past the exercise studio and sees a punching bag with his picture on it!!!

counter riposte · 07-09-2002, 03:46 PM

No doubt filled with foil holes, sabre slashes and an epee point to the forehead.

Zelda · 07-10-2002, 12:51 AM

HEHE!!! Almost.....we are saving revenge for the vocal ensemble concert on Friday (he is a bass we are altos so we are going to cause havoc!) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
