It seems to me that the point of chess is to lead to the endgame.  The point is to make a strategy that lasts until the ending.

Sometimes (preferably) the ending happens in the beginning.

Yeah really.  This coming from a guy whose people said, "You know, we actually could manage to have food even worse than the English if we just stuck a bunch of guts in it."

And a lang lang time ago they said:  "Oh sure, London's weather sucks, but sometimes it becomes almost bearable.  Let's move farther north."

Ah, I wanted to hear what Mr Tart Tongue had to say!  Hey, are you quoting Beowulf or something on your homepage? (holy crap).

This is exactly why i don't take forums anywhere seriously. Bunch of trolls and goodie too shoes who obide by the "rules" when it's obvious not a single flock is given by anyone,including the mods.


The expression Goody Two Shoes goes back to the early industrial revolution. Boots were too expensive for the working class, and mass produced shoes were designed to go on either foot. Needles to say, production standards were not high and shoes did not last long. Since these poor souls were working for subsistence wages, it was common to find people wearing a shoe on one foot and a bundle of rags on the other. A working class person who was consistently able to don two shoes was considered a dandy.

Seems as though you are an offensive **** too Clifton?! You sleeping with failure?

What a forum - like a retard picnic

 

Now I know at least 2 thanks to this thread.


While I won't deny you had right to a slight greivance with the poster who described your initial post as spam I don't think this continued abuse is doing you any favours.

I doubt the mods and lurkers are thinking, "streetfighters right, these guys are a bunch of ****s and retards".

More likely they're thinking, "Why the hell can't he keep his cool?"

Well, if I'm sleeping with failure it seems that you're my bunkmate and fellow retard, fighter (since we split 4 games in my earlier incarnation). Wink

Perhaps it's only another clever sales pitch derived from this guy:

I've been to their picnics, and they're more enjoyable than this forum.
