Is it ok to still blame Canada? Or should I confess this to everyone in our salle? Would changing to foil or epee help?
I also want to know who stole our snow.
Ihan Pihalla, Helsinki | IPH,
First off, let me assure you that many people fantasize about biathlons, it's perfectly natural for any man.
However, feel free to continue to blame Canada for your "women with weapons" fetish. Canadian women are sexy, and if they fence even more so. So rest assured, you are not alone in this preference.
As for the snow.... Toronto stole it. Feel free to bomb them if necessary to get it back.  Out West, the only snow we have is the pink kind you get in the street when the cherry blossoms fall from the trees. So I can assure you not all of Canada is responsible... only Toronto. So it's about time they've felt your Finnish wrath at their snow-stealing ways.
On a side note... Does anyone want to cut my lawn???

| Dear Fencergrl,
I get to see my beloved at easter next time. Why, oh why, are the days so long? How can I speed up time and yet, to the delight of my boss, get things done at work in a blink so that it quickly becomes easter?
Sincerely
Impatient and Armed (with épée)

Craig has lent a helping hand here... more times than not, when logging on there has been a "Server busy" message. Use this time to get caught up at work. However, the few times you're able to make it on f-net, visit this thread and you will never be bored... time will fly by!

No loitering... move along. This is an advice column, not the outside of a 7-11 where you stand around and chat…

| Dear FG,
My ex-friend Mr Snick tried to bump me off, but kind of lost the little argument. Trouble is, I don't like the taste of human and the body is starting to smell. Where can I hide the body without digging up the garden again, or having to try and fit the various parts into my crappy little car?

I suggest you take a taxidermy course. Have Mr. Snick stuffed and use him as a fencing dummy. Not only will your fencing improve ten-fold but you'll learn a new skill. Taxidermy is very useful skill and no one would suspect a thing.

I'll leave the "sexy" part alone. Some were fine, some were otherwise directed. She porky pines are sexy to He porky pines and I wouldn't want to be involved if you get my quill. Quote:

Maybe we could ship you some. You pay the shipping. The first 6000 feet are all downhill. Quote:
