Came to think about the "Water Cooler" IRL. What sort of topics arise in your clubs other than fencing related ones?
In my club, High-School issues are common, because of the age structure. Family is another among those somewhat older than that gang, one of my team-mates has been known to talk about his great-grandchildren. I am the only reader of fencing101 at my club, but some of the issues have been discussed at the club. Not much politics - anyone woh can report of club where that is a common talkie?
Monty Python!! And considering my old instructor, stories of his times in Korea and VietNam (fishing with hand grenades, etc.), discussions of the best methods for barfighting, military history of Eurasia...politics was never a big one, because it was normally something like: "Man, can't stand Clinton." "Yup. Can't stand him." "Me either." [Pause] "So! How about a round-robin?"
hmmm this one guy always talks about math but I guess its not a conversation if its only one guy

there's a lot of sarcasm floating around my club, but the only serious conversatoin beyond small talk like families and school is fencing rules and rule shanges

My club since there are two hard line republicans mixed in a bunch of Democrats will often start talking about politics. Even then though it's usually not serious. We all had a laugh over Howard Dean's antics.

Aside from general life things, I usually end up discussing fencing. Usually something about an injury I just received/inflicted. It's always a laugh, though.
hmmm, not much at my high school club. At the others football, baseball (whichever is inn season), politics, honey bBBQ wings, which restaurant to go to, coaches in the area,and upcoming tournaments.
Quite often, me and the girls talk about school and our unfortunate love lives. With the guys, we talk about how we can beat each other at anything.
