    I would just like to take a moment to suggest an appendix to the materials rules requiring pencil-thin moustaches for competition in men's foil.

    That was just so wrong...

    But you have to admit, they did a pretty good job.

    And yeah...the sport getting zinged like that might mean we've made it a little...kinda like when Nirvana found Wierd Al wanted to parody "Smells Like Teen Spirit"

    Going to your first tournament? Read "Choose yer weapon, Laddie (or: Dude, where's my foil?)"

    Hey, look at me. I'm Tim Morehouse. I make new posts without checking to see if there's an existing thread on the same subject made earlier today.

    I'm not sure that everybody on our men's foil team is capable of growing a moustache, pencil-thin or otherwise...
    Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?

    Apologies. For some reason I read the heading as "online video clip of fencing" when I scanned the topics.

    Huh. So did I. This thread was the first one I saw. Just now when I went back to find the earlier thread, I couldn't for a little while. Funny how the brain works.

    I love the fact that Tim actually apologized. Which is more absurd, the apology or the complaint?

    The complaint was obviously done in jest.

    Well, at least I was able to view the youtube version -- abominable international blockages of content for copyright.
