Clearly they intend to defeat a Designated Hitler, as a subtle and unexpected twist.
No, I think it's "dumb husband."
I did a google search on Designated Hitler. Nothing useful came up.
You mean an actually trophy or one of those cheesy pictures representing so-called achievements?
T1: Rematch if you have the time and want to play again.
T2: I agree. Kaynight is.
T3: Gary Kasparov.
T4: Take it as a compliment they were intimidated by you.
T5: ...is a modern, well-functioning website.
In one post, I've solved 10 years of endless arguments in this fora.

NOTE: NOBODY HAS GIVEN THE CORRECT ANSWER YET.
I'm afraid I don't have any adequate physical trophies in storage. Maybe if I search under the bed I will find the Jules Rimet Cup, but I don't feel like doing that.
But don't worry, I assure you won't get the taco trophy or anything cheesy if win. A shame when something like this exists:
As for the discussion...
Do you prefer the serious answers?
T1. Refusing a rematch offer is outrageous and insultant. Real gentlemen accept rematches with their pinky fingers raised.
T2. Waterboarding was invented for a reason.
T3. Fischer. Kasparov's matches were rigged and Carlsen is a boring buffoon.
T4. See T2.
T5. I prefer V4
Or the jokes?
1. Only if you want
2. Annoying, but in the end I realize the clock is there for a reason.
3. It's not possible to compare players from different times accurately.
4. Impolite, but not a big deal
5. I use both V2 and V3. For some weird reason I prefer the way the forums look in V2.
Anybody else?

You mean to say that none of the answers in Diakonia's list are correct?
None of the answers in the list is correct.
And please try one word at a time...else is cheating.
[COMMENT DELETED]
Hmmmmmm........
You're going to beat..... A Dead Horse!
Am I correct?
We have a winner!
And now, let's beat the dead horse...

Topic 7
Fried Liver
Well that's just DS. 
I'm going to spout some BS. Guess what that stands for?
Bachelor of Science, of course.
Or maybe Britney Spears.
Forget about NMs. And also about FMs, IMs and GMs. And about World Champions too. I'm going to do something much bigger. I'm going to beat a DH. But I need some help from you. I can't do it alone. It would get really boring.
In order to do so, I will ask you to discuss with me several controversial topics, and we will try to reach an agreement. Please give your opinion. And enjoy discovering what a DH is. The first to guess gets a trophy.
