It's been years! And yet here we are. I wanted to see if I could still blog hard. And I must say the nostalgia of being back at CHess.com tastes tangy in the brain, sort of like if thoughts and feelings were made of "cool ranch" Doritos. ...
I figure the time is right for this. Alien Versus Predator did pretty well. Freddie Vs. Jason.So what we need is a high tech car facing off against a high tech helicopter.Most of the time, Airwolf would probably be chasing KITT, but that would...
So for a week straight my cats have been playing chess at night after I go to bed. I know this for a fact because when I get up in the mornings and go to make my next move in this ongoing game in the family room I find that the board is all messe...
a one-lined blog called "Tuesday" appeared only briefly here and then was torn from the world, but not before it significantly altered my life's path. I hesitate to reprint it here in its entirety, because it really should be read in the origina...
Some posts make me cry, others force me to pee a little, and this did both. So I reprint it here. Join me won't you, gentle reader, for a voyage into the twisted world of those who impersonate foreigners. gbidari wrote: (in this thread:http://...
It's a massive coverup because on the internets all you can find is the Woods of Wisdom version of the Gatorade advertisement that doesn't include the gopher. Like they're saying that's the official version of the ad. But that's not the ad that...
The best alternative chess games I've found are Gothic, Hawaiian, and Omega. So why not combine them all? Then add in new moves for the king based on vampire characteristics like holding others in thrall on adjacent squares or using batform to f...
Sometimes the daily puzzle isn't easy but people still always chime in with: "Easy!" As if it never gets hard for these folks. It's sad, really, in an age of Viagra, for these poor contributors to never have experienced hardness. I can hones...
For all those who don't know Dr. Phil, he's a lot like Jesus and he combines those fine qualities with also being tall and imposing and he takes the side of housewives in arguments with their husbands while hitting them with some country bumpkin w...
Some chess.com members are now speaking openly of the Chess RPG (link below) which is an explosive device at least 750% more dangerous than any other chess-related weopon. And I will no longer hold silent on the matter: The actual historical RP...
These are the temples at Rameshvaram where Shiva manifested as a towering column of fire. Wouldn't they make perfect rooks? And now for some piercing words from Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, circa the year 1000: 'Tis all a Chequer-board of N...
Don't you detest those tedious Christmas cards from people who abuse the holiday by rambling on about all the crap their family did this year instead of sharing any kind of well-wishing? "Holiday cheer" gets twisted into one big cheer for themse...
From an old post about imagining what's happening on the chessboard in real world terms so it makes more sense: Some of what happens on the board is odd. There's no friendly fire in the game, and the surest way to safeguard your king is somet...
Pants are never discussed in an open forum. I believe pants are common. Wearing them shows that one conforms to society like a slave and is willing to obey any silly rule that comes along, like wearing a tie for example. It could even be sa...
Hi. I'm Dan Hesse, CEO of Sprint, and I'm amazed by phones. Aren't they amazing? Why, our new Tentphone for 2009 will expand into a domed living compartment 6.5 feet in circumference at the base. Finally, you'll be able to LIVE inside your pho...
