Nolano.
Perhaps you should try being a bit humble and not such a show off.
I have an example.
Remember when you posted that you beat Robert Greer in a meet? You did not state that it was a pool bout or that he came back and beat you like 15-4 in the DEs.
That is the kind of stuff a person with a huge ego would do.
Not nice.

Sorry, FG, this is just too irresistible 
Dear bigHEAD,
It's not the size of your ego, it's what you do with it 
How about fighting some  infestation, and when you succeed, your worn out tattered ego might just be the right size for you. Do beware the flying feces, they are so not good for egos

The Momster | I mainly didn't say that because it didn't happen.
The first time I ever fenced him, Robert beat me 15-5, which somehow got misrecorded as 15-4. The worst I've ever lost a DE, actually. I guess I didn't look carefully at the score sheet before I signed it.
When I beat him once, that was actually the only time I fenced Robert in that tournament. He, like so many others that weekend, played right into my counterattacking game. He had apparently at some point discussed the strategy with his coach, and came up with an effective way to combat it. The next time tournament he beat me in the pools, 5-3, and 15-11 in the DE's. I was still pleased with how I'd done.
When I mentioned that I'd won, it was less ego and more elation. That was the second time I'd ever beaten someone over a C rating, and I was really excited about it, since, as I last mentioned, he beat me quite badly the first time we fenced.

Deafness cures many of life's little problems. Fortunately if you become my free household labour, this will come rather easily to you when I call to have my tea warmed up or more ice in my drink.
Ironically, you won't need the deafness to help you ignore people discussing your ego, as you will be much too tired after a long day of house and garden work to care or have an ego (other than thinking you do look good topless in a bowtie).

| Dear FG,
Based upon reading the past few pages and party pictures floating around in which I'm topless with bowtie and a smile I'm beginning to think I may have missed my calling. What should I do to rectify this situation?

| Dear Too Many Clothes,
I have seriously underestimated the interest in the unique travel opportunity I can offer.
So Fencergrl Inc. is proud to offer the following Adventure Travel Excursion:
Come to Canada and Live with a Cougar!
During your stay you will get to experience such thrilling adventures such as:
~ Will her mower make it through the long grass or is heavy equipment required?
~ How tall does a fencer have to be to reach the top of her hedges that need trimming?
~ Is this a weed or a plant? The amazing trip through her garden on your knees with a hand trowel!
~ Did she really get carpet & furniture to match her dog? Or was shedding season just really bad this year?
~ Why does her male cat wake me up in the middle of the night by hitting his head against mine? And why do I sometimes wake up to a very dark room and smell cat bum?
~ What exactly does she keep in that back room? And why has no one returned when they went exploring?
~ How come she has 30 fencing kits (of varying sizes) ? Where did these fencer go?
~ How many masks can I clean in one day?
Plus many many more exciting "adventures"!
Please bring your own bowtie, work gloves, food (for a least a month longer than you plan to stay) and your own sleeping bag.

| Dear Fencergrl,
I was wondering what I should do to get people to come down to the beach, lay around, fence in a tournament in the water, and then come out with my club afterwards to a beachside bar and grill?

I suggest you post more pictures of babes fencing and bikini clad ones clinging onto the arms of fencers at the bar... don't be afraid to use photoshop to achieve this.

| Dear Fencergrl,
We're having a little dispute here at work.
Does one have to actually catch cougarbait once in a while in order to be called a cougar?
With love,
Cougarbait candidate | |

With love,

PS: with a name like "Pokey" how can you not be cougar bait?

| Dear FG,
In order to become a good cougar, must one attend a Mellencamp?

My husband is 11 months younger than me. Does that mean I'm a successful cougar? |

| Dear Fencergrl,
The above letter got me thinking. My boyfriend's eight months and eleven days younger than I am, and I'm Southern Canadian. Am I a cougar, too?
Love,
Cougar Cub | |
