Stuff Non-Chess Players Say
Sort:
"How did you lose? I thought you were really good!"
@ but: Welcome. All I need is an audience.
And I know I haven't really posted any anecdotes lately, but that will change; I am going on vacation for about two weeks and I'm sure I'll encounter some good material to joke about. I actually plan to finish a few corr games I have going on.
I'm finally knocking on 1200 in tactics trainer.
Yes, people, I am really that bad.
I am less than 1100. Save your mocking, please.
@ Camber: I wasn't mocking. Don't people usually rate less than their TT rating? I was only acknowledging the low playing strength I have in chess.
No, no, I was not acusing you of mocking, Mr Fett. I was addressing potental mockers, instructing them to place duct tape over their mouths. By the way, how did you escape from the large, malodorus, spittle-rich maw of the Sarlacc?

Well, my suit can auto-seal allowing me to survive in zero atmospere. And you know that missle I have nicely fitted in my trusty jet pack? Well, I lauched that thing inside the Sarlacc, blasted my way out and remote detonated it. And in case you're wondering about the rest of Jabba's goon squad that I left behind in there.... I didn't like those twerps anyway.
Your father would have been proud.

The Fault In Our Stars is a great movie. Just throwing that out there. Cried so many times but it was still uplifting.
It was amazing, wasn't it. Did you read the book first?
NO I DIDN'T... and I will never forgive myself for watching the movie adaptation before reading the book! (Like I did with Hunger Games, etc. Not that I'm even remotely comparing TFIOS to Hunger Games. Two totally different stories.)
I'd still say it's definitely worth a read even though you've already seen the movie. There were some parts seemed like they only made sense because I've read it. I first read it about six months ago, and then re-read it two weeks ago so it was fresh in my mind when I went to see it. I'd read it and then see the movie again if I were you. Also it was great to see it with someone who has also read the book, so I didn't have to stop watching and constantly explain things.
You're a smart cookie.
She had the same idea too… didn't want to see it with her friends who wouldn't understand, and couldn't think who to see it with… then along comes me and asks her if she'd like to see it with me.
Had a great night.
Literary minded people are my kinda people! PS I heard from a little bird that guys don't cry. Well, did you cry watching the movie? Or did she cry?
I took tissues, fully expecting that both of us would cry. I didn't, but she shed a little tear, and I was going to offer her a tissue and a shoulder to cry on, but I think she was a bit embarrassed for me to see her crying, and she snuck her own tissues out before I even noticed that she was.
Well you had the good intentions to cry and I think girls, speaking as one, really love a shoulder to try on. hehe.
I do cry (sometimes) and I can get really emotional about stories like that, having been through something similar myself when I was younger. I think having just read the book again and knowing what happens and when, together with being super happy to be enjoying the evening with a really really nice girl who I like a lot, meant that there was no way I was going to cry that night.
YAY!!! A quote inside a quote inside a quote inside a quote inside a quote inside a quote inside a quote inside a quote inside a quote!!!
… Inside a quote!!!!
..inside another quote
Non chesser: Ooh! Chess.com is for making a quote in a quote in a quote in a quote in a quote in a quote in a quote in a quote in a quote in a quote in a quote in a quote
That looks like fun!
(Non chesser joins chess.com, plays 10 games, and watches his rating drop to 1)
I feel so mean. This is from page 154 if anyone is wondering.

My following comment is either relevant or irrelevant, idk, but you might make a great chess commentator.

Knock the pieces over. Kinda like Brazil and Germany fail? Oops, I lost a queen. Now a knight. Now a rook. Checkmate.
^Hence you shouldn't play blindfolded.
But honestly, I thought that when you played blindfolded, you just called out the squares and someone moved the piece for you.
Here is the most epic derpface. This is from Queen's I'm Going Slightly Mad official video, and the person pictured is the drummer, Roger Taylor.

TBH this spider is way cuter than that long quote. haha :) I don't think I've ever used "cute" and "spider" in the same sentence... that's a first...!
I will be joining this discussion soon. This is so funny that I have to join in. Just one problem.
I'm on page 133. From five months ago. I have no idea if that's even relevant today but who cares.
IT"S SO FUNNY!
Yeah it's relevant! Welcome! And read up ;-) haha
