More on fencing requirements.

I've been sent a booklet in the mail regarding the fencing school I'll be attending. Requirements for the advanced classes include the following:

Must have full uniform (knickers and long socks) and at least some electric scoring equipment.


This describes nearly every party I've attended in the past year.

What self-respecting person goes out the door without their knickers, I ask you?

However, the electric scoring equipment sound like some kind of ritualistic tattoing/scarification is involved. Oh my.

Baby, it's cold outside.

These days I might be more likely to be caught without knickers than without absurdly long socks.

Purr! I love the look of their marled socks.

you may wish you had torn off your ears once you hear an electric scoring machine register a touch or better yet a room full of them all doing slightly different things and echoing a bit.

I'm just amused that they require you to have knickers.

I think they mean knickerbockers?

I think its weird they want you to buy so many things so early on. I remember thinking the equipment was expensive. But--it does sound like a smashing party.

That is for the advanced class. For now, they only require that I own appropriate shoes and clothes in which I can exercise.
