ArrowX OAO is gonna have a fun time staring at all the othr boys in the shower. You see now hes gonna think about penises more than usual, then when he gets to the showers in the wrestling team he'll run away and cty cuz his D is the size of a pinky.

Skulhedface If OAO takes up wrestling, Goldust and Rob Conway will suddenly seem much manlier.

Blaber66 No, I've tried it before. Its hard. Besides, if you're fat like me, you might get sued for crushing the opponent's bones.

ItalianStereotype Dragon is a stupid name ;<

The One and Only... I don't see how that solves anything.

...

From my perspective.

Oh, and on a semi-related note, my anarcho-primitivist friend is joining the APW wrestling league under the name "Dragon." You can see him here: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y25...1/74671a8b.jpg He's the one in yellow with the chair.

Marc Summers There was a Trevor Miller at my high school too :o

Didn't wrestle, though :/

glowbelly i dated a wrassler in highschool.

his name was trevor miller and he was very tall and thin. he often would put handfulls of ants in his mouth, swallow them and then vomit them back up. he also put pins in his forehead and ripped them out. aaaaand, whenever he talked to my sister he stared at her tits.

then i wouldn't fuck him so he spread nasty rumors about me. i told my mom's boyfriend's cousins RAY AND ROCCO CAPONE and they threatened to break his fuggin legs.

he never spoke to me or about me again.

What do you think?
I've got it. Talk to him for 20 minutes about anarcho-capitalism, and the benefits of a stateless society, and you'll be in the clear.

The One and Only... I'll probably cut about 9 lbs if I do it. At least it will force me to get that six pack.
Oct 22nd, 2005 11:38 AM
kellychaos That is the second attack of which you've have made upon the sport of wrestling, miss!

All due respect, of course.
Oct 22nd, 2005 08:30 AM
glowbelly yes. you should wrestle because you are too much of a weenie.
Oct 22nd, 2005 12:56 AM
Mike No. You should not wrestle because you are too much of a weenie.

adept_ninja I dont believe in overtraining. In a sense it does exist but few people reach that point they just say they did and use that as an excuse to stop.

Sethomas They call it "lame" for a reason.

Fag.

The One and Only... Of course you have to give a crap about defending it, but if someone attacks at too far a distance or with too large a preparation, you can easily counter. Aggressive actions are smaller and fewer simply because it's too risky to take and pursue them until the timing and distance is just right.

Beginner's weapon? Wow. As if it takes more effort to master any weapon over the other.

I don't do epee because it has too slow of a pace.
I don't do saber because there is practically no time to consider your options or think during the bout.
I do foil because it requires so much to be successful at it. Quick footwork, understanding of priority, analytical as well as decisive mindset, good form, timing, tempo variation, point control, execution of preparation, etc... I just find it the most enjoyable.

In truth, I actually have a harder time against neophytes than experienced fencers. Under the damned new foil timing, the contact has to be maintained longer - so if my opponent twitches his body, removes the target by leaning, or wears a chest protector, there's a good chance my hit won't register on the box. I need to work on finding the right time to "explode" my arm so I can reaquire the target and loosening up my grip when I land so that the point "grabs" the lame.
Oct 21st, 2005 03:57 PM
Sethomas Right. The target area is three times as large, so we don't need to give a shit about defending it.

Admit it. There was someone in épée much better than you, so you copped out and switched back to the beginner's weapon so you could feel some sense of achievement by flèching neophytes.

Let me guess: you don't do sabre because it hurts too much.
