The Tournament of Lepers II will REALLY start Jun 8
Er, last time I said pairing would be out June 1. Sorry. It’ll be June 8.
I already regret doing this poster (click for big size). It’s late; I hope everyone’s name is spelled right. If you want in, let me know before Sunday. (More info here.)
Wow, I’m so excited I almost emptied my bowels!!!

Would you like me to publish the games using the ChessFlash PGN Viewer (now in beta)?
Comment by Tacticus Maximus | 4 June 2008
Look, I don’t blame you for what you did. I mean, if I had your face, I wouldn’t want to put it on the poster either. But next time, could you get permission before you use mine?

I’ll POACH me some egg and put it on some SpaceTOAST. You’re both going DOWN man!
Comment by Blunderprone | 5 June 2008
I would like to play in the LEPPERS event

Citizen Blunderprone, are you prepared to received a blast from my Power Bands?
Comment by Space Ghost | 6 June 2008
I’m looking forward to it! My trashy play will do the Trash talking.

I am ivanw on FICS - Thanks

Just a note to my worthy first round opponent–I will probably not be available until June 17. After which I will be so exhausted and out of practice that you will slice and dice me and send me home crying. Please, please be gentle. I’m just a little bah lamb. I am totally harmless.
Donnie-will there be two divisions of seven or anything like that? Not that I have a problem otherwise but a six or seven game event is crisper.

Awesome poster, man! Hilarious.

SpaceTOAST, your power bands are no match to my Anderssen “sac and sock” em gun. I’ll even take your little flying monkey and put it right up your castle!

@Wang: Glad you’re so excited. You know, I had a hard time figuring out what picture to use for you.
@Polly: Grrr…you had me there. Out of all the names to get wrong a simple 5 letter name would have been humiliating!
@Blunderprone: You know Space Ghost is a powerful superhero…well, sorta. He wasn’t quite so impressive in his late night talk show stint.
@Ivan: You are in! Now I have to figure out how to add you to the poster.
@Space Ghost: We like Blunderprone here, please don’t hurt him too bad…
@takchess: Yes, we are intimidated.
@Wahrheit: I agree. This event will definitely be shorter–9 rounds was too long. 6 weeks will prob be the max.
If we have an odd number of participants, you’ll get the first bye.
@BDK: Your check is in the mail.
After finishing the poster, I simply thought “This sucks.” But it went up just to feel the time spent wasn’t wasted.

I don’t think it sucks at all. I wish I could do cool stuff like that on my blog. Can you make me a King Kong picture with him holding a white queen instead of the girl? LOL
Comment by Polly | 7 June 2008
Can’t tell if you were tongue in cheek, but if you want, I definitely could do the King Kong pic!
The reason why I say the poster sucks is because I end up very familiar with it before posting. Now, it produces a dry cough instead of a smile for me.
However, I’m still LOL’ing at the Chess Enquirer and will be for a week. THAT did not suck!
Comment by Donnie | 9 June 2008
Chess Enquirer is a rip! Actually I wasn’t being tongue in cheek. If you read my latest post you’ll see why I wanted the King Kong pic.
Comment by Polly | 10 June 2008
NP, I’ll get the King Kong pic for you in the next couple days!
