I haven't had a greasy burger since... I can't recall. (Been going for the healthier food recently.)
Oh yeah, Kirsan... Eh, it makes me sick just thinking about the guy. Nevermind. 🙁
Edit - So Kirsan got reelected and Danailov got elected as ECU prez... On a positive note, suddenly the USCF doesn't seem quite so dysfunctional now. 🙂

besides publicly claiming he was abducted by aliens? or killing journalists that don't agree with him? I suppose improverishing a little satellite republic so he can be head of Fide is the least of his negative points..

Originally posted by Mad RookKrusty is in The Hague facing crimes against humanity charges. That was the theme of last week's "Simpsons". He was informed that he won the Nobel Peace Prize but it was a ruse to get him on a plane which, rather than landing in Oslo, landed in The Hague.
My apologies to Krusty, wherever he is tonight. 🙂
Krusty had to demonstrate one act of humanitarian love to be acquitted. Turns out he did a gig in Sun City South Africa during the Apartheid Era but refused to perform because his dressing room lacked two kinds of sandwiches as stipulated in this performance contract. He refused to perform and, three days later, Nelson Mandela was released from prison. This remarkable coincidence was accepted by the international court and the charges were dismissed.
