The Mascot and Chess
Mascot: You know, I thought chess was just some boring game played by a bunch of fat white guys. But I wanna learn it now!
Donnie: Really? That’s cool…I guess. So why the change of heart?
Mascot: I was wondering why I’d see some spouses at tournaments. But this comment revealed everything!
Donnie: Let’s see what you were–OH, MAN! You pervert! That doesn’t stand for–he was referring to the Smith-Morra Gambit!
Mascot: What, is that just some set of moves? You mean there’s no…
Donnie: NO!
Mascot: Well, that’s no fun! Never mind, then.
First I was an MLC and now I’m fat.
Let’s see if the Mascot is still made out of pipe cleaners when HE’s 40.

@Derek: Everyone’s fat compared to the Mascot. He just thinks he’s normal.
@Blunderprone: You may be correct about that. I’ve never gone the S-M route.
That’s a great link. We need a chess babes post pretty soon, right?

on an unrelated note: you put up blog posts more frequently than my dogs take a crap - 7 in the last two days! how are mere mortals supposed to keep up with all this

Unless your idea of a chess babe is a 53 year old 1700 rated blogger, you won’t find one here.
Chessaholic: Quality, not quantity.

Interesting that Chessaholic compares the quality and frequency of your posts to his dog taking a shit…

@Chessaholic: I actually have to remember not to post too often some days–I try to limit it to two. After Thanksgiving, though, there was a swarm of ideas that I wanted to get off. Need to use edit timestamp more often to spread them out…
@Polly: You may want to reserve that evaluation to the males
@Allen: Well, then, he’s got it just about right, yes?

Allen: if you read carefully, you will see that I only compare frequencies, not quality. Plus I wouldn’t dare make statements about the quality of my dog’s excrements
