    Also known as the I-haven't-jammed-a-pointy-object-into-someone's-chest-in-a-week-and-so-I'm-going-mad syndrome. Usually leads to your generic serial killer, but also known to appear in the occasional non-criminal fencer.

    But of course! "Losing your miiiiiiiiiiiiind" indicates a frenzied screaming fit while "Losing your mind" is the spoken version.

    1. Attach a piece of string to your brain.
    2. The next time you begin losing your mind, trace the string.
    3. After find your mind, pour a generous amount of sausage gravy gently over the brain.
    4. Enjoy with biscuits and home fries.

    Geez dude it's a wonder you haven't collapsed and gone into spasms yet! I'm glad you'll find your mind tomorrow evening! Me too, as long as people decide to actually show up! Why do people actually skip practice to study for exams? I say screw the exams and bring on the fencing!

    I haven't stabbed anybody in over SIX MONTHS!!! I was COMPLETELY without any of my gear - including ALL OF MY BLADES - for THREE STRAIGHT MONTHS!! And I wonder why people at school are afraid of me...

    oh, and a mind is a terrible thing to lose...

    A miiiiiiiiiiiind on the other hand, well, I think I left mine somewhere after about 10hrs of product rendering. Seem to be managing quite well without it though.

    Question is, have you lost you marbles as well? Cos, y'know, if you lose them while fencing that could be really dangerous...

    Oh Wow! New smiley thingys! It's no good - I have to...!

    ok I'm done now.

    Good luck Haze! You'll do awesome!

    And as for your question, the marbles come and go as they please but luckily never whilst fencing!

    Thankyou


    Good, people would fall over on them. That wouldn't be good.

    We bought a friend a bag of marbles last Christmas, so he will always have some. Mine are at about 12 miles away, at home on the shelf in my room. I know I can always go get them if I really need them.

    It is impossible for me to lose my mind.

    Look at me. I am a Jawa. <img src="graemlins/jawa.gif" border="0" alt="[Jawa]" />

    Oh Scaramouche,
    What I am going to do? Waaaaaaa!!!
    All my hopes and dreams have dashed. The only thing that could comfort me in this time of sorrow is if only you could hold me close... close to your Jawa bosom.
