Shivsky.  haha, good stuff.

Mine is a real one.  I realized I was playing too much chess when I was reading the financial section of the paper and saw GM takes a fall this quarter and it took me a few extra seconds to realize they were talking about the company.

There's a great old allegorical picture with two skeletons covered with spiderwebs hunched over a chessboard. I know I'm playing too much chess because I analysed the endgame position left on the board and determined that one of the expired players had a forced win in about ten moves.

you know you play too much chess if you think about fist fighting stategically

I made a bunch of sticky buns yesterday and divided them amongst two large plates.  After breakfast today, one plate had five on, the other just two, and I immediately thought 'that's a weak pawn island!'

90 minutes off of chess.com you look up at a white ceiling and see a chess board with pieces and algebraic coordinates because of the burn-in in your eyeballs.

For Grace Slick, it was when men on the chessboard got up and told her where to go (or maybe it was too much hookah)

You ever do that little dance when you and a stranger meet one the sidewalk or in a hallway and no matter which side you move to in order to get around them they do the same, blocking your way.

Have you ever thought to yourself that it's because they've got the opposition?

 This happened to me quite often, so I read Silman's Endgame Course. Now I can usually triangulate and outmaneuver anybody I run into.
