Oh my, I really wasn't expecting to speak tonight....well....uh....
I was in the park yesterday and saw a man playing chess against a dog. "Wow, he must be a very smart dog!", I said. "Not really" the man replied. "I'm leading three games to one".
I told my friend my wife had threatened to leave me if I played in the week-end tournament. "What are you going to do about the tourney?", he asked. I answered "Well I haven't decided....which do you think is better? Opening e4 or d4?".
Where do you buy chess supplies? At a pawn shop.
Why is Star War's Chewbacca no good at chess? He keeps making Wookie mistakes.
I lost a game the other day, but I think it was due to outside distractions. The preacher at my wife's funeral just wouldn't lower his voice.

Screwed up big time this week... delivering an unintentional
email forward insult to a trusted and valued friend.

The words and their meanings are cut to the quick and you stare at the screen and wonder, "what was that about?". Everyone brings their baggage with them. Mine is growing up in the deep South (US) and staring racism in the face as I grew up. And family members still send me e-mails with that hint.... I react quickly.
That's my hope.
Let's rewind..... The heat broke today in South Texas and a little rain fell. If I do say so myself, that do-it-yourself paint and flooring job is not bad at all. 😉

Getting real, real tired of these 110+ days here... we're STILL under a Heat Advisory.
Edit: Now I wanna slap all these fools poo-pooing global warming. Just the other day I heard that they estimate temperatures to be 10 degrees higher by the end of this century. JUST what we need here in Arizona.
Now, back to your regularly scheduled thread. 🙂

If it smells like smoke in here, it's my fault. My son John is home on leave and wanted a BBQ. About a dozen friends and folks....chicken wings, hamburgers, hot dogs, Italian sausage, and all the trimmings. Working over the grill in the Texas heat for a couple of hours (cooled by a few Heinekens!) and now I have a bunch of fat and happy guests laying around watching TV. I'm about to spring home-made chocolate chip cookies and ice cream on them. We are going to separate the men from the boys here....don't worry, plenty of Maloxx for the faint hearted. 😉
Originally posted by MontyMooseSmells good! I'm tempted to skip the grill part and put the frying pan on the table in the back yard and see if I can cook something without fire. I'm sure it's hot enough to fry an egg, but bacon and toast would be nice too!

Originally posted by MontyMooseTry working over that grill in the *Ariziona* heat, and your friends will have you committed... as soon as you get out of the hospital.
