    And 1 Fencing.

    I think we should have a competitions purely for badassery. I've been practicing my parry "jump touch between the legs" riposte. Other things I've considered are the parry "drop foil kick it into the other person's chest scoring a point and then catch it again in my hand". Other more sophisticated demonstrations of utter dominance can be performed in the way of flick stop hits, or backhanding into a point in line. Maybe pinning a wrist to the floor the the tip of an epee. That will be for the older crowd.

    We could do this in Rucker Park. We could expand our market, finally make the bling bell guards i want, and it would do wonders for the fashion and apparel, which has been stagnant for some time. (baggy Lebron Jersey/Lame).

    Lots of offensive yelling. Showmanship instead of sportsmanship.

    Discuss.
    Everyone relax cause I got it....

    I think you're on to something here... but we have to use the wireless (sorry, reelless) scoring equipment, so as not to interfere with people's moves and celebrations... oh, and Visor masks are a must too.

    Screw masks! I want an eye patch covered with lame material ala Slick Rick. Better cover my grill with the same stuff too.

    the most important thing is, which i forgot to ask, would anyone buy tickets to see me punt my foil into someone's chest (still connected to body cord) and then catch it again, all in the attack into preparation phrase?

    You attack, opponent counter attacks with a duck, you parry the counter and riposte with a flick while jumping over the ducking fencer (extra points if the jump is a flip).

    I have a small high def camera, professional quality. Let me know where and when to show up with the camera. I will bring lots of tape.

    Does this mean if your opponent breaks the rules during an action, and you hit them anyway, you get a 1 chance shot and a back flick, and if you land it, you get the point?
    "Sir, didn't I parry"
    "You didn't take advantage of his blade enough, so no."

    We will put the Ruckers tournament to shame. I've got the switch from right to left hand move down well, especially when I spin.

    I've had brain surgery, what's your excuse?

    Is it possible to involve pyrotechnics? Perhaps fireworks go off if someone scores a touch on that side? Just saying....things are generally more awesome with fire...
    Do not meddle with dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

    I'd settle for an abundance of Ray Lewis/Shawn Merriman/Terry Tate, Office Linebacker-esque over-the-top touch celebrations. Like, after an awkward, mostly accidental infighting remise. "Wooooo! That's right, bay-bee! Step on mah strip and it's Paaaaain Time! <flex>"

    Maybe some finger-wagging or that exaggerated, squatting "Shhhhh" gesture after one-light parry-ripostes. "*****, don't ever bring that weak **** in here! This... uh, side of the strip... is my house!"

    This will be taken under extensive consideration. Regardless of whether the and1 fencing league is established, excessive celebrations are great.

    Could we have "And 1" refereeing as well?

    Unfortunately, this being fencing and all.... I suspect you'll end up with this guy. Jewfro in full effect...

    Take your time. Read carefully.

    Sorry, no flips




    I personally think a PiL is the best prestige touch. I finally got to call one as a referee. I was so happy.
