Yeah, no. No buttons. Just theater. Never take any of my message board diatribes seriously. They are always out of boredom. Always.
Or maybe I am really mad!

I did love the chess/cigar story. But why are all you people such incorrigible liars?Comment

Liar? No, I was at the chess tournament. I merely embellished a part of the event. It's all degrees. Speaking of degrees. I have a degree of sadness today. A dark anniversary. Here's the story:
I spent my formative years on the subcontinent, as my father was a major in the British Army and stationed in India during the Second Opium War. Once, while he was away on campaign, I was tasked to eliminate a streak of rogue tigers who had been killing the villagers in a place called Bharatpur. My houseboy, Culay, was my faithful servant on this expedition. The journey was a hard day's travel and we made a hasty camp to get some rest. But before I could finish my tea, a village woman named Qaddie ran in and shouted that tigers were attacking. We quickly followed and after killing three of the beasts, I set my sights on the fourth -and last- but unfortunately my gun jammed. Thinking and moving on instinct, I drew my knife and leapt on the back of the behemoth. My blade found his carotid, and dealt a mortal blow, but not before the tiger had mauled poor Culay. As the tiger fell, I rushed to my servant's side and surmised that his wounds would likely prove fatal.
Nonetheless, I thus began a frantic search for help when I happened upon Sgt. Gunny McDonald, a deserter from the Scottish regiment that had been under my father's command. Gunny thought I was a part of a team to bring him back, so he attacked, but I kept my wits about me and killed him with a Kimura Lock.
Afterwards, I rifled through the dead sergeant's supplies to find something -anything- that would help abate Culay's pain, and found a bottle of Drambuie among Gunny's things. I ran back to my camp faster than I had ever ran before, but upon arrival I found that Culay had died while I was gone. Grief-stricken, I sat down and drank the whole bottle before making my way back to the base.
Now, every January 5th, I toast a glass of Drambuie to the memory of Culay. As god is my witness....Last edited by AlabamAlum; January 5, 2017, 10:56 AM."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon; luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets.Comment

Sure it is....you never know if its right. Or wrong. Its like calling pass plays for Trace McSorley.Comment

It is always right. It can never be wrong.

Depends on your definition of right and wrong; if "right" is its initial, out-of-the-box state, it would be quite difficult to achieve once altered, with same-colored squares. But that rarely happens anyway, so yes, a better metaphor is required.Comment
