Look Marco, I am sure you are a nice guy and all, but to compare Doobi’s one-of-a-kind works of high art to something one could pick up in a hardware store or at the stationers, shows a serious lack of appreciation and elan. It is like comparing an about-to-fall Jenga stack with the Eifel Tower, a facial birthmark with the Mona Lisa, or indeed one's own efforts at micturition with the flow of the mighty Amazon.
On another note, Doobi (if I may be so bold!), please feel free to use my humble words in any way you see fit. It is the duty of the bourgeoisie to sustain the struggling artist class with whatever crumbs are available. Metaphorical crumbs of course; us bourgeois need the actual breadcrumbs for unicorn schnitzel and other such delicacies.
oK, I am not talking about the wonderful prison-art of Dubious-Duck.
I appreciate art too.
I am worried about diseases the players could have, because he made a rook from a rat nest and there is a dead cochroach in it...

Being very much against the idea that religious symbols should be forced down the throats of chess players I replaced the so called ' bishop' with the accurate and traditional elephant

This beautiful piece was made from half my underwear rolled in a neat ball and tied with string. The head is candle wax and rancid cheese and I traded a hand full of ear wax for two exquisite beads giving the elephant an air of royalty and opulance.
I placed it next to the pawn to give a sense of scale

Ah, now I understand your concern Marco and I am glad you raised it. It is imperative that we protect our cultural heritage from filthy disease-ridden chess players. I have already made enquiries on procuring a display case, but now you have got me thinking and we should probably do something to beef up security (along the lines of the crown jewels) as treasures like these are obviously high on the list of criminal masterminds, the Mafia, etc. Glad to have you as part of the team Marco - keep those insights rolling!
OMG, I have just seen the latest creation! Words fail to fail me! Doobi is so in the creative zone it is almost as if he has touched the hand of God. The King is dead, Long Live the King!

Hmm, KingT, rickrolling is no fun when your target doesn't know he's being rickrolled.
I was just Tonixing you. It's the latest thing.
Paradoxically, I think the use of an elephant actually works as a critique of the church, being a prominent, lumbering figure. Stubborn yet traditionally commanding of respect. The beads capture the duality and inescapable existential horror of being that is eloquently captured by binding with string that which girds our own loins. Those very nether regions, the stigmatized parts of us most hidden from others as a game of vanity, are nonetheless undeniable in their presence--a facade of denial best exemplified by religious institutions themselves.

Thanks all for the kind words directed at my hand made pieces.
I am finally able to continue this thread and decided to make a traditional bishop based on the famous Jack of London design.
I pretty much hate the design of the bishop and can see no good coming from having a bishop in your army or anywhere else for that matter.
Yet, always being one to please people and keep the peace I went ahead and made this traditional bishop using a candle, semi-mature cheddar cheese and a tooth pick.

Why the tooth pick?

A most excellent question macer.
Bishops often walk about with a stick of sorts during official ceremonies, it is a symbol of their rigid and unbending belief they they alone are correct despite all evidence to the contrary.
Being a stickler for detail I decided to add this feature which gives the piece a certain aesthetic appeal.
In the poverty of material, the richness of the soul.
do you guys KNOW how much harder it will be to get my kids to Clean their room. Have you No heart?
'you wait till you have children'....
Patso, I think if you study the quote you will see that cleaning up their room will not be necessary because you will never give your kids anything. Except for richness of the soul, indirectly... Problem solved.
