Are chess players bores?

I can't find anyone inside the "paint the paint industry" to verify the truth of your remark.

We are very reluctant to reveal ourselves. We are an opressed group that are made fun of for not selecting the right color of paint the first time. And for the pointlessness of painting the first color with the second color instead of simply using the second color to paint our target. Discussions about formulating paint sicken us by reminding us of our failures so we don't like to talk about it as mentioned before.

I have a list if you're interesed. Trust me, you're not.

I fell asleep half-way through that... what were you saying?

Home Hardware? General Paint? Sico's part Akzo Nobel now.

"Well Read" Baby, you remind me of  Narcissus  a handsome Greek youth in Greek Mythology. He had never seen his reflection. The nymph Echo ( that would be me of course)  was  punished by the mean goddess Hera for gossiping, (that would be Trysts..hes so suspicious you know! ).

Well anyway..she was  cursed  forever " to always have the last word". One day Echo saw handsome Narcissus walking through the forest. She just wanted to express her love for him. She called out to him...Narcissus heard her, but could not see her.  So he asked, "Who's there?", In frustration all Echo could reply,  was "here" ".it was the last word".

When Echo finally had the courage to reveal herself, she was shocked that Narcissus rejected her and she fled into the mountains. Where she played chess on Chess.com to ease the pain !

One day, when Narcissus became thirsty and stopped by a pond to take a drink, he saw his reflection in the water for the first time. Not knowing any better, he fell in love and started talking to it. Not yet understanding reflections, Narcissus thought his reflection was speaking to him and became more engaged with himself, his problems and his world.

Alas... he was unable to consummate his love. Narcissus pined away at the edge of the pool and changed into the flower that bears his name, the narcissus. AWWWWW...a beautiful flower!

What does this have to do with personality and Chess..Not much!  but if you read this whole thing. If you are reading this sentence. You have been entertained by me ! .So my youth wasnt that boring after all ....Babe ! :)

Do you not read her posts?

Of course ! She is the goddess Hera and when Hera talks....Everyone listens..meant in a good way :)

Wow! This is like the third compliment I've gotten today! Thanks, MsJean!

(pdela called me a whore, so I guess it evens out)

Thanks but did you see electicpawns! It takes a bite out of ya !  he he

You look chilly, MsJean. Please wear my cape while I start a fire in the drawing room. A snifter of Cognac, perhaps?

Hmm I bolded the part where you refer to trysts as a he to avoid this confusion.

 Yes they are, that's why people play poker.

Well, my all time hero playes chess. And he is far from boring... to me.

Pretty much the only time I ever talk about chess is at my local chess club (once per week) and online (such as right now).
