| Again my friend, I will take you word on it. I'll look into it as part of my knowledge-expansion, but I have no intention to join an organisation of any kind...I tend..just to do my own thing, and enjoy myself. Thanks for all tips.

"Bring me that horizon" comes from Master and Commander.
Which indicates you are Russel Crowe fan. | Actually, "Bring me that horizon" is from Pirates of the Caribbean. I have never thought of myself as a Crowe fan per se, but I may well be: he is good in the films you mention.

R | May I suggest you actually spend some more time actually fencing sabre instead of making them? Its much better that way. You must be really bored to do that...

Headed to shower...back later | I guess that has to be a pretty cool feeling. I want to learn more about stuff like that. Giggle? Thats a bit extreme...maybe smile a lot and jump up and down with joy...but giggle?

| YOU DIRTY MAN! YOU DIRTY FILTHY MAN! YOU'VE TAINTED YOUR FOIL ROOTS WITH UNHUMAN, DISGUSTING SABRE DESIRES!
I get it! It's some form of attempt to reconcile with PR after she ran away with Gorlocks hair? Shame on you! Shame on you I say! May you always feel regret for the day you turned away from the all mighty foil! | |

| Your victory is shortlived at best; he'll soon realize that foil is the only true discipline. Everyone goes through a bout of experimenting, after all.
Besides, he has delusions about having better hair. Do you really want a crazy person? Oh...wait...I forgot, none of you fence foil...you're already crazy =P | |
