Array Veterans Challenge Who's going to be at the Veterans Challenge at Boston Fencing Club in October? "Arm yourself, Watson, there is an evil hand afoot ahead." -- Dennis Pierce, 2010 Bulwer-Lytton contest, detective fiction category runner-up. -
Curmudgeon Emeritus
Array It's the weekend after Long Beach, so not me, alas. Is it the same weekend every year? If not I'll consider it for next year, if the notice is early enough. I'm looking for tournaments in October; it's something of a fallow month for me presently... Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you! -

I'll be there refereeing on Saturday, and probably Sunday as well.

Quit (no longer with us)
Array D. Richards, J. Adams and myself (S. Heck) are planning to go. -

Array Yeah, but for Mars I have only to seat myself upon an iron plate and fling a magnet into the air; whereupon the iron plate, being drawn to the magnet, would rise, and take me with it. Catching the magnet, I fling it again into the air; and again; and so I proceed, indefinitely.
Much cheaper than Air France.

Until you ran into John Carter, of course. And you get there by projecting your astral being, if I recall correctly (it's been many years). Inquartata meets John Carter of Mars, the missing volume in the Barsoom Chronicles.... Why sabre? Because you don't take heads with the point. -

Yes, I am mixing my literary metaphors quite egregiously tonight, I am afraid.
Shaken not stirred, though.
Damn, there I go again. Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you! -

Inquartata would probably object that Tars Tarkas wasn't wearing an all white uniform. -

Array I'll see you there Peach! -

Array Peach - do you think we'll have enough women to make up at least two teams? -
Senior Member
Array That's why I asked--I sure hope so! I don't know how many people are registered for our event, and they're fencing it separated out. I don't have anyone else to bring with me for a team, but I signed up for it anyway. I think. Active.com is hard to figure out.

Array Neither Pat nor I can make it this year, but Karen and Gladys will be there, and they are looking for someone for the team event. -
Senior Member
Array I'll be there. I'm just glad Wayne will be refereeing and not giving me bruises roughly the size and shape of Australia. -
btw, did new zealand turn up as expected?
I still apologize.

-w No, I think it was actually Tasmania, by the size of it. Besides - only Kathlene is allowed to give me NZ. No apology necessary. It was a valuable lesson in keeping my distance. Similar Threads -
