Verrily and forsooth the glove has been dropped.

There is but for me to return it in kind.

As it is on the ground like the pig thats been slopped

I,ll give you a swift kick in the behind.

No courtesy Sir,for a cad such as you.

A dainty touch it is not.

While decorum wins through,that is so true.

I abhor to glove such a clot.

Chairs with swords it be, and so verily,

I allow you that choice at least.

Tips touch at last,we begin merrily,

Though I,ll churry you round like a beast.

One chair we will need,even if you do plead,

as you pull splinters from all o,er your bod.

A quich flashing fleché, as you whisper touché,

At that you are not such a clod.

A lesson hard earned,though on barren ground its spurned.

I bid you a final aDieu.

Have a care in the future,if you don,t want to suture.

You festering big gob of goo.

Its a nameless goo. Who would claim parentage to it?

Aside from that I have already taunted him enough .

I do not mind a lesson in swordplay.

I would like to live to profit from it.

While my Avoir du pois could stand a little trimming,

I would rather not be served up on a platter.
 
It was only a joke. I swear.
 
About being served up;

I went to UCSC when I was a kid, and I took a fencing course.
The instructor had been on the US team to the Olympics. Besides fencing and coeds, I'm not sure what else he did. But the School kept him on. Later they'd hire Angela Davis so I guess a guy who once was in the Olympics was pretty good after all.

Anyway, one of the most basic moves is this straight forward, no nonsense, damn the torpedos and forget about defense Straight Forward Thrust. They've a real name for it but I dont' recall what it is. You might, Kevin.

The teacher's teaching one early evening and one of the students does this attack and touches him. He's shocked. They keep fencing. Then the kid does it again. You have to imagine standing with one foot pointed to your opponent from the rest position, given the command to 'go' and instead of all the elaborate and tricky things, you thrust. The kid scored again. The Master knew it was coming but couldn't stop it. The kid was my friend and I envied him for being 'famous' enough to have done this. The Master called the entire class together to tell about it. We were impressed. All told, I think the kid 'touched' him about 5 times. Served him up good.

Munk It may be a version of the Fleché so often mentioned here .

The only term I know in pointed pugilism that I know is the " Hokey Pokey

Or Le Hoké Poké as French duelists used to say . Oft miscredited to an English source the move was devastating when properly executed.

You pull your left foot in .

You put your sword arm out.

Sword tip between the ribs,

and you wiggle it about.
 
Honest to God Kevin, you lose me in most of these posts...

That may be my slow wit, or whatever else in my life that is preventing me from understanding, but nonetheless....:confused: I'm lost.

It's been a very long hard day for me and I apologize if that is being pawned off on you...really I do. But could you just say what you are talking about?!
 
Thou warped base-court mumble-news!
Thou beggarly rough-hewn botch!
Thou frothy reeling-ripe callet!
Thou withered bat-fowling turd!
Thou soulless hasty-witted skainsmate!
Taste the steel of my blade!

Sincerely,
Gonzo

Rob it may be a bit of an inside joke.It also crept over from another thread or two. Can,t fashion one of my threads into something you can understand?
Just refer to the above quote . I love it.

Even if you don,t get the words the sentiment is clear. Thems fighting words.

Gonzo, perfectly welcome.

In that case, thou froward folly-fallen scurvy-knave, I suggest you come out from behind your mother's frock and face me! I know you are there from the villainous decayed odiferous stench! Or could that be your mother? (sneer) 'Tis well thought through the kingdom that she is a pragging tallow-faced withered-hag! Free your steel, jelly-kneed canker blossom! I demand honor!

With most sincere thanks,
Gonzo

Gonzo such vehemence . Does all that darkness come from your mind?
We are proud of our literary forbearers here. We often quote them.
yours almost sound like quotes or snippets taken from a missive.
It would be poor manners indeed not to quote them.
 
Hi there. I like to lurk around the Cantina, but don't really post here much. Serious question. There has probably already been an explanation given, so at the risk of asking a potentially worn out question - what is the reason for using commas in place of apostrophes? Is it just a personal 'trademark', kind of like CitizenQ would always incorporate q's into his words, or is there a literary precedent?

??

Thanks in advance...

Qwhat a Queer Question. It,s never oqqured to me.

Actually its a good question that has plagued more than one here.

I personally have a French keyboard. With the addition of several accented letters subtractions had to be made. For the longest time I could post É or È with éase with the downside being certain marks being third or even fourth functions on a key as in now i have lost the ability to make a period to make é and è It is a prototype keyboard put out to appease while a more complete
design was in the works

" Vivrè la Libèrté " or something like that

Seconds Sir ! Seconds? That would give rise to the notion that I deal with an equal . While 'tis true I abase myself to chastise this cur there was little choice to be made. The gauntlet was dropped, albeit in a discourteous manner.

While I was feign to cross swords with a lesser it would illbehoove me to allow his inferiority to stain the air with his breath. Rest assured I left my blade in his chest as a headstone of sorts . Its steely menacing gaze may act as a deterrent to those who would presume to displease me.
