Just for kicks I decided to go to a local chess club meeting one Friday night. I figured, what the hell, I might get in a few games and hey, there's usually nothing but guys in chess clubs, right? Well, let me tell you, it was pathetic. It was worse than a freaking Star Trek convention. The air of desperation in that room was so thick, you could cut it with a knife. You'd think some of these guys hadn't gotten laid for years, if ever.
You know... the pocket protector crowd. I don't think I'll be going back there any time too soon. 😞
