This is the deal in my household. Spiders stay out of sight, we won't kill you. So far only about 5 spiders have broken the rule.

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.
Whoa, nice descriptions My following comment is either relevant or irrelevant, idk, but you might make a great chess commentator.
I always get a kick out of some chess comentators. I heard one talk about Anand like he didn't know what he was doing during a blitz tourney. After 1 min 30 sec of time thinking after move 4, Anand crushed the guy.

My bullet rating is about 300 below what it should be. I don't have a mouse for my laptop, so I'm stuck using the trackpad.
"why can the bishop only go diagonally? they can't be striaght?"
"why the queen so powerful? does it use fly hax or something?"
"why is the king so powerless? is he like 600 pounds or is he lazy?"
"hey that was my piece! En passant. Take that back! It's seriously a legit move. NO! CHEATER! GIVE THAT BACK!"
ON CROSSANT!
"I see a great fork!"
*leaves back rank checkmate undefended*
I think we all have those moments when we just derp. At least it was a casual game.

this is tricky because the grid ref is wrong way round? i.e. 4. Be7 should actually be Bd2 I am guessing. Anyway, using your grid ref...
After 4. Be7, black can now play Nxg5. After 5.fxg5 Ke5 and black should easily pass a pawn, and even if he some can't once the bishop is off, black can mop up whites g + h pawns and pass his own g + h pawns.
I have a question, if his grid reference is right then cant white just play h8 = Q?
What page is that from anyways? 125 or something like that?

-So, like, are you really great at chess
-Have you been to, like, tons and tons of tournaments
-Have you ever played timed chess
-Do you know the name of like, all the best chess players in the history of chess
-Are you paranoid about having your chess pieces perfectly centered in each square
-What if I copied the exact same moves you made for the entire game, what would happen
-Can I promote my pawn to a pawn, or can I promote it to a king to have two kings
-Is it at all possible to promote all my pawns to queens
-How does my castle move
-Is that a bishop or a knight... oh it's a rook okay
-(5 seconds later) what's this piece
-Why can this bishop only move on white squares and that one only moves on black squares
-Can the horse move there, can it move there, there, there
-Can you teach me how to get really good at chess
-Can you teach me how to checkmate someone in 5 moves
-Want me to teach you Fool's Mate
-Why can't the pawn take there
-I thought this piece was the king
-Why did you move the king and rook at the same time, you didn't tell me you could do that, that's not fair move it back
-Everyone's better at chess than me
-Mind if I watch your game, I don't want to play, I just want to watch, I'm just watching

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!!!

I feel so mean. This is from page 154 if anyone is wondering.
So while we're on the topic of old quotes, I pulled this one from the database.
