Suki's Sword Practice Fantasies.

I'm delighted to see Suki in action again.

Heidelberg certainly makes me think of beer!
When I was a kid, there was a regional brand of beer called Heidelberg. I see online that it was discontinued in 1979, but a modern craft beer brewery purchased the original building and brought back Heidelberg in 2021.

Yes, I know Heidelberg is in Germany and is known both for beer and fencing. That's quite a combination! No wonder all those German officers in the movies have scars over their eyes!

Nice sword! "Cutting power, protection, and fashion!" Especially fashion! Because "pirate swords" look cool no matter the setting!

Sword fighting and witty banter go together as naturally as fencing and beer!

Teufels, German for Devil.
Diablos, Spanish for Devil.
Clever, that!

"Diablos" also works in Esperanto - fitting for an international man of mystery!

Were the shortcomings in Evita a result of Madonna's performance, or in the way the role was written? Doesn't really matter, I've never seen it and likely never will.

Suki's opponents should probably wear shin guards for protection against those low thrusts. In addition to being quick and flexible, she's kinda short, too.

Yeah, Gangrene totally carries a Super Soaker!
Probably filled with Mister Bubble.

Worse than Diablos! That's a pretty low bar under which to crawl... or slither!

A sword-point to the throat? Is that a symbolic statement about Madonna's singing in the Evita role?

Whose idea was it to make a musical about the wife of a pro-fascist dictator anyway? And how did such a thing become a hit? Pop culture is just weird, I guess.

If nothing else, Suki has honed the edge of her razor wit during this practice session!

And... that brick backdrop looks totally epicool!

  That was great! I have to say the lighting was superb too really set the scene .

Diablos is impressively expressive in this sequence.

And underlying the insults, surprisingly empathetic.

Even evil super-villains have feelings, Dave.
