    Need fencing equipment? See me at H.O.M. Fencing Supply

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

    I resolve...

    to stop messing with New Parents' heads at youth events.

    I promise.

    I will try, anyway.

    Maybe.

    To attempt (meaning a little try) to not carry so darn many tools with me to a meet.

    I resolve to:

    1) Study up on the electronics...I have NO background
    2) Maybe try for Level 2?? Dont know yet.
    I'm not suffering from insanity-I'm enjoying every minute of it! I'm an armorer.

    rockstar,

    I love doing this: New fencing parent, nervous as all new parents are, ask them: anybody gotten any blood on those white uniforms yet tonight?

    Watch their eyes!

    Too fun!

    Purp, I guess I should change my name to Pollyanna....I try to believe in the best in people.
    (note to self: review Purp's past postings-I seem to recall snarkiness on his part, too. Methinks he fits in there with Gary.)

    You're far too trusting - part of an armorer's job is to know how to cheat so as to know what to look for when called out to the strip to provide "expert" evaluation.

    That being said, Twisterfencing is by no means alone. There may not be much sport in baiting newbie, non-fencing parents (too easy!) but I sometime enjoy letting people who should know what they're doing deal with my "evil twin brother"

    You are just now finding this out?

    Never denied it, will admit it and have fun with it.

    If you cannot have fun messing with someone's head, then what else is there?

    Know this though, if any of my friends called me today and asked for the shirt off my back, I would give it to them. But I'm still evil!

    Of course!!! But then, I've hidden my membership card in the Snark Society well. Since I'm a nurse in my other life, I have to make like I'm sweet and wonderful and kind and generous and.....
    Yeah, I try to be nice to the noobs. But it is so much fun to torment someone who knows better....
