Good one!
You watch Chess With Rachel to learn how the pieces move.

Silly. We are making fun of ourselves.
In chess, if you can't make fun of yourself, someone will gladly help.
seems a litle odd when you have a fairly high rating making fun of low raters
Don't you think you're possibly taking this just a little bit too seriously? Nobody's calling anybody names and nobody's bullying anybody for poor play (except that guy who posted his game). It's just a bit of harmless fun; nobody is really suggesting, for example, that a low rated player might lose following an opponent's king sacrifice.
Some of these are actually good moves in the right circumstance. I know one case in which I sacrificed a queen, took a pawn, and mated in 3.
You hear someone say "this position plays itself" and you stare at it waiting for the pieces to move.

That's funny! I have run across the phrase, "now it's just a matter of technique." I'm thinkin'...What?!
If you have ever played the opening: Fools Mate, Declined.

You have a dim sense that your opponent is playing a very cruel joke on you by moving his 9 queens back and forth and taking a pawn every 49 moves, but you don't have the brains to figure out what the joke is.

Not really... it only goes for those who use their computers to tell them the best moves (like ehunting and chudenka who are both RIP from this game). They are both bad players who can't play chess for ice cream
I would! I love the stuff! I can see it now: a new opening called the "Rocky Road Gambit."
You named your kids: Fritz, Houdini, and Rybka 2.3.2a

You should never name your kids with numbers! (Unless you name them after yourself)
After your queen sacrifice, you tell yourself, “At least he won't be using that pawn any more.”
I lol'd.
