    Third Annual Fencing Slogan Contest

    Thought I'd do another slogan contest. Rules are basically the same as the past two years- propose a slogan or saying relating to any aspect of fencing, and if I choose to make a design using that slogan, you win one product (your choice of any one product in my CafePress store under $8) with that design on it!

    Yes, the prize is lower than last year, but sales haven't been so good, so I don't have the money for the better prize. There's still lots of cool stuff you can get for $8, such as postcards, stickers, magnets, buttons, and more.

    THIS CONTEST IS ENDED.

    Number of winners is potentially unlimited.

    Winners will be notified by post on this thread and by PM (to get shipping information. This contest is not limited to the USA; I can ship the prize worldwide).

    Vet T Shirt

    I had this made for a Vet event I was fencing in. The font was much larger than I wanted. The guy making it, just did not get it. I also thought it might be nice to split the proverb from the front of the shirt to the back. I also thought it might be better like this: An old tiger.....is still a tiger.

    On a non-related note: My wife tells me that there is nothing more sexy than a man doing dishes. You don't think she is "playing" me do you? ; )

    Oh no, she's right. Men doing dishes is very sexy indeed. Plus, if the woman doesn't get tired out from doing dishes, she has more energy for the bedroom.

    If at first you don't succeed, you get at least 14 more tries.
    My fencing philosophy = quantity over quality. Eliminate the rest periods! Fence all three weapons! 15 touches for Vet DE's!

    Foil: The Flicky End Goes Into The Other Fencer, But Only Within A Specific Area, Otherwise It Doesn't Count And You Have To Start Over And Try Again. Also, You Have To Make It Look Pretty Enough To Impress An Impartial Stationary Third-Person Observer. If You Are Not Pretty Enough, The Other Fencer Can Put His Flicky End Into You And Still Get A Point Even If You Put Your Flicky End Into Him First.

    Sabre: The Slashy End Whacks The Other Fencer. Standard Foil Disclaimers May Apply, But Differently.

    Bump! C'mon, guys, you can't be out of ideas already!

    Also, feel free to second anyone else's idea- I'll take that into consideration when choosing winners.

    For the pic insert a silhouette of a happy fencer jumping amazingly high with joy.

    "The deeper the lunge, the sweeter the touch."

    (Optional: Line drawing or silhouette of a deep lunge or 3 pt lunge).

    *****
    Show a wep. Eepe, sabre or foil.

    Text beneath reads: "Say hello to my lil' friend"

    (Optional: Tony Montana pic modified so that a wep is held in one hand and mask underneath the other.)

    *****
    Show silhouette of a midblade piercing through a mask. The thin whippy part of the blade, whatever that's called, spinning broken through the air.

    Text reads: "If you can't die playing it, it's not a sport."

    ****
    Etc...

    I'm sorry, but the way this is worded seems really dirty...
    When love bites, be sure to bite back.
    Rule #1 She who hesitates has lost.
    Rule #2 Don't trick yourself into thinking you suck.
    Rule #3 Remember, bad footwork makes coach cry.
