Why is playing Chess like being a homeless bum?

All the pieces are black and white.

Ever notice that there aren't any asian homeless on the streets?

I've also observed a distinct hierarchy amongst the homeless as well.

Pawns - Your average stinky, poop smeared, change cup rattling street bum.
Knights - Your youthful, pierced and tattooed car window washer.
Bishops - The semi-crazed preachers that spread the word.
Rooks - Bullies, thieves and thugs.
Kings - Slick street peddlers and dealers of drugs and sorid dreams.
Queens - Street prostitutes, well travelled and aging.

We're the players that don't know we're in the game.

Interesting thread, Hand. Your metaphorical "homeless bums" also populate some internet public forums?

Word jumble
meanings stumble
aching rumble

I am hungry for truth.

Ages darken
spirit harkens
once was sparkling

I am destitute.

What is lightness
where is truth
who is right-ness

Pray for me.

It is my observation that there are a disproportionate number of black and white smelly bums on the streets. Hence like a Chess board.

Never question me again.

I asked you not to put so much emphasis on size.

I love you too KBH. Kiss me you fool! I yearn for your warm saltiness.
