Happy Holidays

[Rick]

All:

Just would like to wish the fencing.net community the best for the holiday season!

If your holiday will be as stressful as mine, please remember to keep your weapons in check and not use them on any of your brothers, sisters, spouses, nephews, neices, aunts, uncles, and especially your in-laws.
This is not an inclusive list, just because I left a few relations out, doesn't mean it's okay to use it on them -- but if you do, make sure you have reasonable cause and don't be shy telling all of us about it.

With that said:
Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas!
Happy Christmas!
Maligayang Pasko!
Feliz Navidad!
Happy Channukah!
Joyeux Noel!
Shinnen Ommedeto!
Buon Natale!
Froehliche Weihnachten!
Prejem Vam Vesele Vanoce a statsny novy rok!
Vrolijk kerstfeest!
Prozdrevlyayu s prazdnikom rozhdestva i s novim godom!
Pax Hominibus Bonae Voluntatis!

What if our brothers, sisters, spouses, nephews, neices, aunts, uncles, and especially in-laws fence?

Remember, kids, it's not illegal if they don't find the body.

Darius:

If you have relatives who fence, consider yourself having an excuse to attack them.
You lucky S-O-B!
Hmmmm... maybe I can teach my "damien-incarnate" cousin how to do some basic fencing moves, and then beat the crap out of him. Leave a few marks, then blame it on his dad.
Aren't the holidays so much fun! Can you feel all the love in my family?

I have a younger sister who's interested, but Mom won't take her to the closest club, which is something like 45 mins away. Damn shame, that; she's a dancer with a competitive streak a mile wide (about a half mile short of mine...) and would be great.

Maybe I'll drag her along to a practice or two at Indy FC over break.

Happy...whatever...to all, & to all a good fight!

Now, if I could just keep from wrapping my body cord around my mother in law's neck...I'll be ALL set! Next time I say, "Sure, come stay at our house"...please, gang...PLEASE beat me with a dry foil blade!

Hmm, seems like having no family except mother/father is a GOOD thing at holiday time. Then again there are those cousins/aunts/uncles down the coast, but we dont see them so they dont count. Moon, I'll help garrote your mother-in-law if you like, I'm in that sort of mood.
