I posted this to facebook the other day, thought you guys might get a kick out of it. ;-)
When dancing with swords please remember:
~ You may be a superstar but you are not a starfish; your parts will not regrow.
~ "Ooops!" is a lot more ominous than it sounds.
~ Swords are not like people; even the dull ones can be interesting.
~ When you've lost your quota of blood for the day its time to stop.
~ Anything you can do I can do better and with a sword.
~ "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" wasn't supposed to be literal.
~ Never trust a man who doesn't name his swords.
~ Airport security doesn't care what you can do with it and they still expect full cooperation.
~ Like the noble Penguin... swords should not fly.
~ You are going to get hit in the head. Make peace with that.
~ Screaming at it will not make the throbbing stop.
~ A sword is not magical. Just having one will not give you THA POWAH!
~ Its all about the art! Its all about the art! Aaaaaaaaaaah!
~ Dropping your sword is not the solution when you think "its coming after you."
~ Its a sword. What did you think it was going to do?
~ The pumpkin had it coming. (If you don't get this one... you don't use battle ready swords.)
~ "I will not refer to a scabbard as a sword condom."
~ Tears taste like VICTORY!
~ When performing a dervish or windmill spin make sure that the audience is at least 15 feet away or it
will get messy.
~ Heh heh. Bet you didn't know I could do THAT did you! *Limps Away*
~ Practice this phrase, "I would love to hear all about your 12th level Paladin!" Don't forget to smile!
~ Practice this one too, "No, I don't get better reception this way."
~ Unlike when you're driving, when somebody else bumps into you while dancing with a sword it is still your fault.
~ Cuts, bruises and blisters are sexy dammit!
~ Accidental sepuku does not make for a great finale. On purpose sepuku isn't all that hot either.
~ The world is full of non-believers. "For the last time a katana cannot cut through full plate!"
Let this be a lesson to you. Now go kick some ass. ;-)

~It's not a sex toy either, knock it off or Sabine will hafta chock a bitch!

Thu, October 29, 2009 - 2:13 PMHow about, even if your sword is dull do not grab the blade in your fist and swing it around! (Yes, I have seen other dancers do this, and all I can do is cringe!) -

~Swords are NOT for posturing. Balance the dang thing somewhere on your body and DANCE!
~And women that dance with swords are the most powerful, graceful, primal, beautiful, terrifying thing an audience will ever see.

Fri, October 30, 2009 - 12:23 AM~ if your sword does not have a balance point it was not designed to be used in dancing, cut your losses and invest in one that is, watching a dancer battle to balance their sword is incredibly distracting to the audience
~ swinging your sword above your partners head while she does a squatting movement must be very well timed, chopping them in the head or neck is a no-no especially if that sword is a very sharp one
~ learn to smile when balancing a sword on any part of your body - watching someone dance when they look like they smelled something really bad is not fun for the audience

~ The drunkest person in any room will Always try to pick up your scimi the moment you aren't looking. -

Mon, November 2, 2009 - 4:51 PMWhen performing at the local coffee shop near the College, inevitably some airhead twinkie cheerlead will walk right into your sword during your performance and claim not to have noticed what was going on.
