    Grew up in Lansing, but I'm out in MD now.

    Still go back for family get togethers, but no fencing yet.

    If I can get into UMich: Ann Arbor next semester, I would be, haha.
    No one cares how long your epee is, and if it breaks you just get a new one.

    10 fencers just died when you said that...and that's 10 per w*** that you typed. So according to my advanced calculation, that would come out to be exactly 20 fencers.

    So thanks a lot...Hopefully they were all bloody epeeists that you killed
    If you don't stand behind our troops, please feel free to stand in front of them. Trust me, they'll appreciate it.

    They were epeeists, okay? Shut up. You're going to jinx us.

    *runs, trips over lemur, falls on a crack to come to rest under a ladder*

    It's bad luck to trip over a lemur, you know.

    Make sure you don't do this inside a building... with an umbrella opened overhead.

    Just as long as I don't have to be inside the same building -or state for that matter- as you...

    Well, that's why umbrellas opened inside are unlucky. Because epeeists don't know what they're used for, so they carry them around inside. The myth that they are unlucky comes from the fact that you are either an epeeist or in the same building as one.

    Genesee Fencing Club, do they meet during the summer?
    I live in MI, going to school out in PA and I need somewhere to fence, and I live in Genesee County.
    What's the size of the club and skill levels of people there?

    Yes, I'm from Michigan... but there is a good 500+ miles between us. We call this place "Heaven" (the Upper Peninsula that is...) because there are no Epees or Sabres around.

    Oops, Sorry, there is two of each in my bag! I guess I was being optimistic.
