Anybody feeling kinda stabby?
No not like that I meant there will need to be some heavy slashing needed to make a killing with the budget cuts.

Mine just always look up and say, "Not this guy pushing us around again!"

just got off the phone to Slash from GnR. He says he's really busy but if you send him a memo then he'll get back to you ASAP. Hope I helped.
So are Bishops the most paranoid piece on the board? I play the Stonewall Attack a bit. I ask my dark squared bishop how are you? It complains incessantly. I feel trapped, move the Knight or the pawn, the walls are closing in on me, let me out I'm having a panic attack! The same happens in the French defence. What's wrong with these Bishops, should I give them a Valium or perhaps something stronger?
Almost as bad as actually sitting on your hands. Chess players have enough of a loser reputation without aiding the perception.

Not sure how this relates, how does this effect the reputation of the chess community
That is actually a good idea. It would definetely help you realise your piece positioning more especially with begginers because it is relating a non chess thing (talking) with a chess thinking.
I started talking to my chess pieces about a year ago. It was going so well for awhile but now we have fallen out & they are threatening me.
See what I mean? 
aw man some revenge pawn. scary.
ignoring much on this thread, i do as well! mostly as a habit from my childhood when i played with my sister (i very much consider myself a new player due to how long ago that was) and i kinda do it with everything, usually as a way of deducing stress, for example this might be one of my conversations
"so, mr.king! how are you today?"
"im doing much better than usually! finally broke up with my wife i didnt agree to marry!"
"wait what?"
"you dont know how midevil kings and queens work do you?"
this is usually to evoke a laugh out of me

I tried it as black in the KID 4 pawn attack. The Black King told me to shut up as he was addressing the troops.
We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender!!
Anyone else have a good reply from the pieces?
That's funny, that reminds me of this Bruce Springsteen's song ("This Hard Land"):
We'll ride until we fall
We'll sleep in the fields
We'll sleep by the rivers and in the morning
We'll make a plan
That's the joke. Where is the simpson dude when you need him?
I guessed as much, still funny though! And no, I don't know where the SImpson dude is. It would help if you were more specific as to which character though, or is it Homer? He's my favourite
