Monday Fighter! (and Lepers update)

Unfortunately, the people who made this brand of fortune cookies seem to know English, so the fortunes are more insipid than entertaining. I’ll try to do better next week.

(Monday Fighter! is an allegedly weekly feature which attempts to cheer up or inspire the masses who must start yet another work week. As always, the fortune is photographed on a wooden table.)

: That fortune happened to me! I was driving around when I saw this business in a pink and purple building named “Planet Pleasure”. Curious, I went in to see what they sold, and boy was it special!

Lepers update: Polly defeated Blunderprone, so the next match is Polly vs Chessaholic to determine the winner of their division. As far as the Wahrheit-Wang match, seems Wang is missing in action, so Wahrheit wins by default. This means Ivan wins his division.

So…the final match will be winner of Polly – Chessaholic vs Ivan!

    since i wasn’t the original recipient of the fortune, does it still apply to me? does just reading it make it applicable, or must you be the one to open the cookie? just in case, i will be extra curious, just to see what happens.

    Is that a watermark on the fortune cookie?

    Hey there!

    So, what is the tournament of Lepers? Is it going to happen again? I might not be good enough to play in it yet. But I am trying to follow the fortune cookie and be curious!

    Have a good one,

    TommyG

    I think the fortune only works for the person you read it to. So I guess the first person who read the post will get the magical bennefits, which might explain the mascot’s event, or not.

    @chessloser: The powers of this website cause the fortune to apply to all “fortunate” readers.

    @Allen: Yes, apparently. It probably added a good 10 cents to the cost of the bag, too.

    @Tommyg: The tournament of lepers is a online chess tournament played via FICS by chess bloggers. No rating requirement at all–the 200 rated noob can play as well as Joel Benjamin or Susan Polgar. In reality, the participants are somewhere between 1200-2100.

    There will be another tourney, but not sure when.

    @drunknknite: You’re back!

    The “Zombie” status is for those who blog less than once a month. But it looks safe to bring you back now.

    @l3rucewayne: LEP is magical in many ways, so the fortune probably applies to everyone.

    Wait, the mascot drives?

    What type of vehicle does he drive?

    I’m picturing a carton shaped bus with many other eggs.

    @Allen: The carton-shaped bus is for the environmentally conscious. Something tells me the Mascot doesn’t give a flying flip.

    @Blunderprone: Yeah, but…that’s French. *heebeejeebees*

    @Annie: Um, yes. A little too well, in fact.

    @LOL: If by that you mean the Mascot likes both human and eggish females…you’d be correct.
