 Do you love Hitler, now that he's dead?

Yesterday I told someone they were nominated for the "Ridiculous Hyperbole of the Month" award and informed them that they were out in front of the pack.

That statement is no longer true.

That's fine, since I only worry about the opinions of people who's opinions I respect.

a) The topic at hand is something which, in spite of ivan's earlier attempts at profundity (and very possibly because of those attempts, too), almost begs for a Bakhtinian irreverence.  Jokes about Fischer are not necessarily about ridiculing the man, but they do serve the purpose of removing the false loftiness associated with wanton hero worship, and recover the genius in the name of the human.

b) Bobby Fischer, if given the chance to start over again, would have spent his years abducting cats, and selling them to research labs for personal gain.  That's just a fact.  There's no real evidence for it, but it is a fact.

The correct answer is: An athlete, but still a crazy one. Do your homework, fischer fanatics.


  I do my research of course but the truth is that I am not a Bobby's fan, cults of Fans (and cults of Haters also...) are not my ideal! |When I write about cults, you should read the word: mob, "orthodox mob" perhaps...

 "theoreticalboy" has some virtues of a lawyer, perhaps a greek attorney! I woulk like to hope that he isn't qualified as an important U.S. lawyer!!


If I was a Greek attorney I'd have resigned and fled the country in disgust, after the recent capitulation to the European Monetary Union's shambolic austerity measures!
