Unfortunately it will be some time before the test results are in on VFP's bacne, so we turn back to the action on the board.  I'll admit the last two moves have lost me a bit, but I'm pretty sure that Warbler has sunk VFP's Battleship.

Does VFP get a tazing only if his results are positive or could I do it either way?

Hello, and welcome to the First Annual Ric Olie OT.com Chess Championship.  I'm sorry we were forced to join this match already in progress, but the weather report ran long.  Something about hail or some other phenomenon.

I've got to say, this Championship Match is bringing us a clash of undisputed titans of the OT.com chess landscape.  vote_for_palpatine stood on a mountaintop and declared that he was willing to take on all who dare oppose him.  And Warbler fought heroically through an amassed army of zero others to rise to the challenge.  So far, it's been a death struggle rarely witnessed in these parts of the forum, or any forum for that matter.

As the action resumes, Warbler has just said "D2-C4  D6-D7" which is very bold move on his part.  VFP seems a bit rattled, probably due to Warbler using C4.  Explosives were thought to have been outlawed by the Geneva Virtual Reality Chess Convention of 1968, but Warbler seems to have other ideas.

Now...let's get back to the action.

OOh, Ooh, can I be the ref, I can moderate pretty good. I have a taser.

Well, it is worth noting that the greatest space epic next to Star Wars is returning to Disneyland.

CAPTAIN EO is coming back!!!!

I wonder if it'll be like it was or a horror ride for the kiddos. I mean, having been a 13 year old boy once, it would terrify me to see Michael Jackson reaching out to me. I'd think he was trying to grab my dinky.

I don't understand why grown men are complaining about toys for children.

I mean...they're for children, right? Not forty year old collectors who bitch on the internet about how their children's toys are childish? Right? I miss the good ol days too Ferris, when children's toys were played with by children and not some old guy with a beard who makes videos on youtube.

I mean, seriously though! I know there is a collectors market and everything, but I think some collectors need some perspective.

Yeah, I can agree to an extent, but lets be real. These are just solid pieces of plastic. I dunno how old you are, but I'm in my early 30's. I remember the good ol' days of 3-inch G.I. Joes with metal joints, meaningful Star Wars toys, metal Hot Wheels, roller wheels, and those cool Hot Wheels cities that you could fold like a briefcase. Remember Micro-Machines? With that fast talking guy who advertised for them? I love memory lane, it is so comfortable.

But, yeah, you're right, these are just for kids and that guy is acting a little goofy about them. However, in a way, I can relate. The toys of our day was so much cooler, just like our parents thought the toys of their day was better. Kind of scares me though what my grand-kids will be playing with!!
