Elon Musk challenged me to a fencing competition because I insulted him. We had to use Olympic rules, but he decided to use a sabre instead of a fencing sword. I beat him 10 - 0 and he threw a tantrum and then I woke up.

Another one for the HEMA folks, or SCA or LARP or other collections of capital letters! It is available here if you are inclined to wear clothes or stick things on other things
If my clubmates would stop saying banger things like this I would be able to stop drawing piles of weapons and twisty banners. But for now it's a pretty fun challenge for my art so I'll allow it

annoying that I can't drive over to the fencing club whenever I feel like it. I'm an adult and I should be allowed to stab people at 2am if I want to. what do you mean the building is closed

French 'Sabre a l'Orientale' cavalry officers' sword
The 'Sabre a l'Orientale' (often called mameluke swords in English) gained popularity with fashionable officers during the French campaign in Egypt and Syria (1798 to 1801).
Initially, these swords would have been acquired in battle either as a trophy, from being given as a token of respect by allies, or from a surrendering foe.
However, as the fashion spread throughout Europe, local sword makers and cutlers began to produce their own interpretations of the style, such as the regulation dress sabres of British Lancers.
This sword style remains in service today as the British 1831 Pattern General Officers sword and US Marine Corps Officer dress sword.

My sword likely dates from 1810 to 1830 and caught my interest because it features an Eastern-produced shamshir blade mounted in a European-made mameluke-style hilt with cow or buffalo horn grip scales. The sword is plain and functional without the ornamentation typically found on swords belonging to senior officers. Going by the style of scabbard drag, this sword originally belonged to a French cavalry officer.

Them: So, what do you do for fun?
Me: Well I pick up a long pokey piece of metal then I electrify it and run at another person with the intention of stabbing them. You should totally try it sometime.

A platoon of soldiers wearing black uniforms and fluffy pink bunny ears were laying siege to my house at the command of a female lieutenant. I got annoyed and challenged her to a five touch sabre fencing duel, which I won. She surrendered, recalling her troops, and we went out to my backyard to have a lesbian wedding where instead of exchanging rings, we exchanged swords.
