Hm, "get gal"...another gg.

Yeah, that really puts which faction is being rational here into perspective.

Yep. The illusions that sobriety in the face of insanity is somehow rational holds sway with millions. Lemmings they are, Yoda would say.

So, you ever like get done banging some chick you picked up at the strip club and just shoot off a hearty "g.f."?  I'm not talking about "gf" as in "girlfriend," I'm talking about the other possible ackronym.

Oh by the way, that "Nameo had" guy is awesome!

I simply observe "That was like two blind men playing horseshoes."

Is simply your opponent signing-off & ending the game.

My problem is simple (pay attentions psychoanalysts--you're gonna get some babble material here): I HATE TO LOSE. I especially hate to lose to lower rated players, which means something close to 97% of everyone here. When I do lose to someone lower rated, and I do, it most assuredly was not a good game. Rather, I played like a noob.

You may not INTEND to irritate me with your arrogant display of an utter failure to comprehend how I handed you that win through excessive drunkenness, egregious mouseslips, or temporary insanity, but despite your intent, the EFFECT of your "gg" is that I want to reach through the computer screen and bash you with my empty whiskey bottle. I'm also crying for my mommy, but I will never admit that publicly.

Considering most of the people you will play against on this site aren't watching you through your bedroom window (and hence unable to correctly infer that your mistakes were the result of your supposed whiskey-swilling tendencies and not your inferior chess ability) their "failure to comprehend" precisely how you "handed them that game" seems understandable. 

It quite clear that you are not watching through the bedroom window because the curtains are closed, and that's the room that I use the least often for playing online blitz. I play more in the loo. If I catch you peering though that window, your calculation of the risks may prove to have been one of your worst errors.

It is equally clear, however, that every player with a modicum of chess skill can see that I gave away the game through gross blunders. The reasons for my temporary incompetence are varied and not something an online opponent can readily perceive. But his or her reading of the cause of victory can be only a FAILURE TO COMPREHEND if GOOD was perceived in the blunderfest.

Oh and speaking of aftershave, I thought "Arrogance" was a new fragrance by Calvin Klein.

I'm talkin' about before and after, baby!  This is Miami after all!

the lines are clear, but then boxed wine has lower octane than whiskey

AndyClifton

And it always leaves that little spot on the counter (or the floor).

Ziryab

That's why god made paper towels

johnmusacha

That's why they made sulphuric acid.

AndyClifton

Wow...so God's name is Scott.

I knew those things were unnaturally absorbent.  Take that science!

Life, without copious paper products (especially paper towels) would be unthinkable.  As we Chessnuts age, moist wipes become very handy also.  Smile
