You Know You're a Fencer-Part 2

[Dav3ey]

You know you're a fencer when...

...any time you turn off a light switch or tap an elevator button, you give it a flick with your finger tip.

In school one time Rayen came at me, trying to tickle me in the side...could tell she wasn't a fencer, because she went for 6/8 back and forth about three or four times right in a row...and I parried each, right in form...

I was absolutely ecstatic when another friend of mine moved to poke me: She actually pulled off a 4/8 disengage!! It was fast, and quite neat, I might add. It also worked! I was mightily impressed.

lol, me and my friends, when very bored during a particularly long-dragging lunchtime, sometimes 'finger-fence'. The object of which being to poke your opponant on the foil valid target area. We have right of way and everything. Much fun! (although our classmates think we're nuts... come to think of it- we are nuts )

YKYAFW:

You find yourself falling asleep with your arm in the en garde postition, with your hand holding an invisible grip...

[angriff]

Some things that happened to me:

I lunge at elevator buttons (provided no one else's around and I have an umbrella). Space permitting, I fleche.

At McDonalds' with my clubmates: I turn around after picking up my burger and yell, "Next on the piste!" to those standing behind me in the queue.

I attempt to poke my ticklish girlfriend in the side using coupes, sixte-octave disengages etc... too bad she's not a fencer.

Not to mention having a butt of different sizes on either side

And when you look like bursting the seams when you wear straight cut jeans/pants...

My coach while fencing in college, would bring a newspaper with him to class to put under one cheek just to level himself off

You know you're a fencer if you've ever reflexively tried to parry a "high five."

Or if you ever had a hockey puck slam into the plexiglass right in front of your face and you didn't even blink.

LMAO- now that I hadn't even considered as a possible downside of fencing! Darn, better make sure I keep both 'sides' in shape!

(and it'll be something I'll be watching for when I go watch the Invicta Open in a weekish )

If they do, make sure they kick the larger side (more padding that way).

[lfortier]

You know you're a fencer when... You instintively parry and lunge at a classmate who mocks you for being a fencer after holding up a ruler, saying "En garde, madamoiselle!" then you successfully make the perfect touch.

You know your a "GOOD" fencer when you can get a Dollar for every penny from a fake Rolex Watch.................
