I don't think Inq's quite that young, ZZ. I thought most of his stories would revolve around which amino acids went steady first and when the first protein moved into his neighborhood. And then he might move into comment like this one:
YKYGO when you can no longer remember when you developed your first flagellum. Fencing T-shirts available at Off-The-Piste Wear **New designs** including f.net themed designs for easy recognition of fellow f.netters at tournaments!

No, Inq goes back even further than that.
YKYGO when you remember the Big Bang.
For those of us who are mere mortals,...
YKYGO when you remember having a Tonka truck that was actually made of steel. Why sabre? Because you don't take heads with the point.

Based on personal experience this past weekend...
YKYGO when you have to move your weapon in and out of focus till it comes to rest two feet from your face before you can tell if your tip screws are even still in the weapon. (Or alternately, say to your referee, "I can't see that far. Do I have all my screws? ")
And you need your reading glasses to replace them.

Or you have to wear your bifocals when you compete/ref, so you can read the pool sheet. Why sabre? Because you don't take heads with the point.

You know you're getting old when it takes you longer to take your morning pills than it does to take your morning shower.  One test is worth a thousand opinions.

YKYGO when the Y14 fencers were born in the decade after you started reffing. Go to the well until the well is dry. When the well is dry find a new well.
