| Dear Fencergrl,
I'm currently in the midst of a literary project that I hope might someday prove as successful as *insert latest popular book series here*. While I am working on my first book, I've written a short story on a similar premise, and so far it's gotten pretty positive reviews. Although I am concerned about one reviewer that said it was "good", but she had consistently called me a Perv as she was reading it. As yet, I haven't gotten that reaction from anyone else. Any ideas?

You haven't put enough naughty bits into your writing if only one person is calling you a perv. You need to do some more research before writing some more.

| Dear Fencergrl....
I have the unfortunate predicament of premature baldness. I have been thinking of shaving my head and going ahead and getting over it instead of slowly letting my hair get farther and farther (and thinner and thinner) back on my head.
DISCLAIMER: THE NEXT PART IS A LITTLE WEIRD...........
Also... and I'm sorry for some this may seem a little gross... but I feel it must be said, although I am almost bald my legs and chest seem to have stolen all the hair growth horomones in my body and I have a small forest growing, should I shave those also?

Follow these easy steps:
1) Purchase stick-on googly eyes, such as these: http://www.birchhaby.com.au/datafile...ew_on_eyes.jpg
2) While shopping also buy some large gloves that will fit on your feet.
3) Learn to walk on your hands.
4) When this skill is perfected, stick the googly eyes on your balls and put your shirt on your legs and the gloves on your feet.
5) Put your pants on your upper body covering your balding head.
My final piece of advice... Try and keep your "nose" from growing when a pretty girl walks by.

| Dear FG
there is a conference in Vancouver next August. Should I go? Is there anything to do there?
Would Paris with Mrs Wallet be a better option? |

| Dear Ewww,
The cougars (or at least one in particular) migrates north near the end of August, making Vancouver quite a safe a lovely city. Paris on the other hand, will have large volumes of folks on strike so the cafes will be full of folks drinking wine and eating cheese.
As for things to do in Vancouver.... well normally running from cougars is the main activity, but I suppose one might find a few other things to do. It's Canada so there's always street hockey and beer drinking and making inedible maple treats to sell to tourists.

| Dear FG,
There was some conjecture that you have been out in the bush! Is this true? Cougar hunting or a cougar hunting?
Curiously twisted minds and all that.

| Cougars migrate north from mid August thru to the first week of September every year. As part of their migration they:
1) sun themselves naked (of course) on alpine lakes.
2) catch and eat wild (and not so wild) things.
3) grow additional fur on their hind legs.
For more on the cougar's habits the Canadian Wildlife Association has put together this informative clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGmhm...eature=related
Any other Canadians miss the Hinterland Who's Who spots????

| Ahem. Please utilize the proper terminology!
The correct name for cougars is "Mountin' Lions".

'Course Mark used to be a male stripper back in the day and it maybe that he had a better physique to start with. So maybe you aren't in that class. YET!
The multiple choice question is:
a.) are we getting uglier as we age?
b.) learning to face reality?
c.) ceasing to give a D**n?
P'haps Fencergrl can put it in context for us.

P'haps Fencergrl can put it in context for us. | a) Yes, but keep in mind that as we age so does eyesight, so we are only really offending the young. And truthfully isn't that where the fun is???
b) No we don't get better at facing reality, because we still think we were good looking when we were younger. Facing reality means facing all of the reality. Our average looks have aged and now we still look pretty much the same / as bad as everyone else.
c) No true! I give d's double star, n's all the time. Especially when playing word games. Although admittedly I have a lot of *'s I haven't used, because I find them useful for online sex. Multiple *'s seem to have a mysterious way of getting people either very angry or horny or both. So they are worth saving up, because single *'s just confuse people.

| Dear FG,
Does this seem useful in the general context of the recent discussion? Nature gives you the face you have at twenty. Life shapes the face you have at thirty. But at fifty you get the face you deserve. - Coco Chanel

| Dear Fencergrl,
I'm fencing in the Leon Auriole Open next weekend, which is a huge, and fairly difficult tournament. How can I prepare to do my best?
