Witty remarks/retorts

Somtimes it gets pretty funny when players are chatting back and forth during a game. Howabout some examples of the stuff people say. I am not counting the "your a lousy player" "thats not what your mother said!" stuff. I asked a guy what his name meant (written in German) and he said "I am a malignant narcissist" and I said "you must be fun at parties!"  Tongue out Btw I am not saying my own remark is that witty just giving an example.

Has it ever occured to you  - human nature being what it is - that people who make 'witty' remarks during a game are just trying to put you off? I do not indulge in this particular tactic but would offer the following to you the next time someone attempts to be 'creative' -

"Is that your car I can see from my window about to be towed away?"

If they persist then it will speak volumes of their desire to actually play the game.

For what it's worth, Malignant Narcissism is a recent song by Rush.  He may have been referring to the song to see if you were a Rush fan.  :)


I guess your right. Could have been the Rush reference.

 ekorbdal, I have had this kind of thing happen where I was laughing during a blitz game and It hard to concentrate. I guess I did  a poor description because I am talking about the mostly negative things people say when they are mad and then there is a witty reply.
