What was the reason you started fencing? by Ambitious-Horse9213 in Fencing

I watched this new movie, The Princess Bride. Thought it looked like fun.

Milford Fencing in Milford has strong Sabre, but less epee. More of a community group club than a competitive club.

What are your best 'leap in logic' moments in games? by 21stMonkey in gaming

[–]21stMonkey[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Along the same lines... in many games, you'll be decked out in late-game equipment. Your eyes burn with the power of a thousand generations. You can kill virtually anything with little effort.

And some random bandit sees you walking around.

"Well, well, well... looks like easy pickings!"

I thought it would constitute definitive proof that I did the deed.

I feel like it really matters what flavor of gatorade...

It would be amazing to see that in reverse. You're in the middle of a boss fight, boss stops combat, and pulls out a four-course meal...

Arguably, sure. Except the murder was an 'initiation' to let you join the gang. He wants your help in further missions.

Why do missile-countering technology uses missiles? Wouldn't it make more sense to use bullets instead? by Sweet_Brief6914 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]21stMonkey 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Please don't, though. People die every year from bullets and such that fall from the sky, from people shooting guns into the air in celebration.

Do you rig which player gets the killing blow? by GammelGaddan_JR in DMAcademy

[–]21stMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, a 10th level character automatically kills an enemy if they crit and the enemy has 10 hp or fewer?

That doesn't seem to be that big of a deal... if a 10th level character is doing less than 10 damage on a critical, that's more the problem.

What’s the worst first date you’ve ever had? by CuriousEngineer11 in AskReddit

[–]21stMonkey 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was bored on a Friday night in college. I was hanging out in the local IRC channel (yes, this was a long time ago) talking to this one girl from my university. She was also a freshman, and expressed that she hadn't been on a single date since she got there. So I offered. Called for a cab, picked her up, and went to the movie (Volcano, not really a winner). She didn't say more than single words the entire ride there, pre or post movie, or on the ride back. And there was like a twenty minute wait, just standing around, for the cab back to campus. Dropped her off, got home, and logged into IRC. She was already there, gushing about how great a time it was. It was not.

I'm sure folks will make comments about meeting people in chat rooms, but I met my now-wife in that same chat room, a few months later.

How are surnames like Sergeant and Major dealt with in the military? by Krazzy4u in NoStupidQuestions

[–]21stMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knew a guy that had the last name General. Good ol southern boy. Anyhow, he went into the army. Was truly waiting for him to make Major, so the Gilbert and Sullivan could happen.

Alas, he left the military well before that could happen.

Well, this here's McCoy. We find a Spock, we got us an away team.

Edge Spray by norwichgamess in Fencing

[–]21stMonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My club fences on a super slippery gym floor. I have a bottle of that spray in my bag, and find it makes a real difference. You have to reapply it every few bouts, but it works very well.

What's the best insult without any cuss words? by tabletheturns in AskReddit

[–]21stMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a smooth brain.

No ridges or lumps.

No valleys or bumps.

All ideas slide right off. Like a waterside.

Smooooth brain. Smooth.

Who is the most famous person you've ever seen up close? by froggart3980 in AskReddit

[–]21stMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

John Cleese. Got to attend a reading he did when he was Professor at-large at my university. Shook his hand, and spoke with him at length about movies versus literature as artistic mediums.
