Have I mentioned that paleontologists from the Southeast Idaho School of Placer Mines have discovered the remains of a new, shovel-lower-lipped dinosaur they have name Spatulasaurus Rex? S. Rex would apparently scoop up its prey with its lower lip, flip it high into the air, and catch it in its fearsome mouth as it fell.

Here's a little tip I learned over the weekend: that because the angle of the blades in engagement must be enough to maintain contact throughout the parry to deflect the attack, sometimes the wrist must be angulated somewhat, even though this angulation may expose the wrist to attack.
