| Week 3 Pairings | |
| White | Black |
| Polly | Chessaholic |
| Sciurus | Drunknknite |
| Blunderprone | Tom |
| Takchess | Wang |
| Wahrheit | Ivan |
| Donnie | The Bye |
Once I get the rest of the results, I’ll do the crosstable. Has drunknknite become “The Bye” of the Alex Chiu division? He hasn’t updated his blog in a while and I hadn’t heard that he played either of the first two games.
I’m exhausted, so won’t post a crosstable of results (not like it’s a big deal until week 2). Chessaholic and I won, Polly and Blunderprone drew, while the other games will be played later or I have not received the results.

With apologies to the readership, since only two of you will understand this.
It looks like VIP Spa has opened a branch in Miami.
(BONUS: Some more background on VIP Spa)
Posts have been rather rare here, if only because I am preparing to delve into a shadowy project, anathema to all decent, everyday folk.
You will shun me, spit on my website, and disown me. But it doesn’t matter.
You don’t know the power of the Dark Side.
EDIT: This project is not the David K/Phaedrus collaboration, which may actually end up having some redeeming social value.
If you’re one of those people who can’t keep their mouth shut, Happy Mouther Day! They say it’s also Mother’s Day. I don’t know your mothers, but I’ll bet some of them should get Mother’s Day AND Mouther Day cards. My mom isn’t a big talker, so it doesn’t apply to her (Donnie said his mom wasn’t a loud-mouth, but who knows; he might just be embarrassed.)
I decided to get my mom a family portrait from when I was a kid digitized. It wasn’t worth the money to frame and send the picture, so I just told her that she can right-click on the picture and left-click “Save Image As” to save the picture to her hard drive.
: I never knew your mom was an octahedron.
: It’s a recessive gene.
: How come I’ve never seen any octahedral eggs?
: They won’t fit right into the egg cartons.
: Although I already called…Happy Mother’s Day, Mom! (I couldn’t show off a family portrait, because all that stuff’s in Houston, boo hoo.)
When I start having little eggs, I’m going to time it so they’re born on Feb 29. That way, I only have to buy birthday presents for them once every 4 years.
Being a salaried worker, I’m working an extra day this year, but being paid the same. There needs to be a little compensation for my extra time.
McDonald’s is selling hamburgers today for 29 cents, as if that makes up for them selling Egg McMuffins.
Hey, guys! Were you one of those losers who forgot to give your girl something for Valentine’s? No sweat; I’m here to save your bacon.
First, you need to get a piece of cardboard and fold it in half. Or you can use a postcard.
Print out this first one. Then stick it on the front of the cardboard or postcard. You should use scotch tape instead of duct tape so it looks better. You could use glue, except the paper will crinkle up.
Then put this next one on the back or inside (depending on your style of card).
Your girl will be so impressed, she’ll forget you didn’t get her a real present!
Since at least one or two of you demanded it, I’ve posted my bio. Hope you’re happy now-.
So we’re couple weeks into the new year. Does 2008 really feel any different from 2007?
If this photo makes no sense to you, read this joker’s comment.
It was a real pain in the butt to get permission from the Egyptian government to use the inside of a pyramid for this pic. I was going to hire a couple of chicks to dress in skimpy ancient Egyptian clothing and fan me with those feather fans, but the plane ticket was so expensive I didn’t have enough money left. I hope you’re happy.
