    Christmas wish list

    Christmas is less than 2 months away so what's on your wish list?

    Also, do any of you guys make a list of what YOU want to purchase (for yourself) for Christmas? I know some of you may be non-materialistic but the way I see it...Christmas = sales = you save $$$ = you have a good reason to buy something for yourself...

    I sometimes wait (in the middle of the year) until Christmas; that's when all the sales kick in, hehe...

    Right now, I have my eyes set on some DVD box sets and *maybe* a new FIE foil...

    Uh... My wish list so far consists of:
    -a car that won't fall apart at any second (the transmission in my current one finally kicked the bucket, and with my luck, it'll fall off at any moment)
    -a 80-200mm zoom lens for my camera
    -a couple of electric foils and body cords

    I'm an impulse buyer, hence no need for a list for myself. It'll grab me as I walk by it.

    Well since my birthday is near Christmas I should have some money around that time. Maybe some fencing stuff, FIE mask, epees, wires. Maybe I'll save it for when I go to the US next year. I don't really expect to get anything good for Christmas from other people, just small 'tokens' of their goodwill. Maybe some chocolate would be good.

    ... we got eight crazy nights ...

    What I want for Hanukah:
    1. New PDA (dented a screen on my current one, so need to find something new, it's time anyway, the current one is 4 years old).
    2. A good cutlass (none of that stainless crap, I want good high-carbon blade that will hold an edge if I ever decide to go ride the high seas)
    3. Flintlock musket
    Haven't decided on the other five, probably just vodka

    Christmas is Upon us


    Hark ye fencing men,
    there's nothing afoot,

    sharpen your weapons
    carefully
    and wash up all your gear,
    It's time to think of nationals,
    though 6 months premature,

    But Leon Paul is our New Man,
    so crown, king, and pawns,
    fill your Fencing bags this year
    with English goodies
    and be of good spirit and cheer.


    If you fence well again this year,
    Plum pudding shall you have,
    If you can take the big gold plate,
    You might just earn that beer,
    Think well good men,
    of all good things,
    of happyness and yea, gold!
    Then by all means,

    Repent and spend
    if only a little,
    before ye get too old.

    and, if my math skills are not misleading me, as the number of members he has in his harem increases, the probability of a PMS-free day approaches zero.

    Not necessarily. Ever observed the interesting phenomena of close female friends getting their periods in sync?

    Exactly.... meaning the more members in his harem.... the worse it gets for PMS... and mother-in-laws.

    RIT... don't trust Parrythis! He knows better he wants to encourage you then laugh when you realize it's too late... he's evil I tell you!
