Chess, Simpsons-Style
Okay, so this particular post is more of an aside than a true post, but bear with me here...
There was a time in my life that it seemed that every present or gift I received from family and friends had a theme, a Simpsons theme. I knew it was getting bad when one Christmas I got two Simpson's Clue sets, and wouldn't you know it, I had already received that game the previous birthday.
What's a girl to do? Develop other interests perhaps? It is not that I am a one-trick pony here, but I guess I was and am one of those kids that parents just had/have no idea what to wrap up and send to on those obligatory present days. So in all fairness, it was nice that my parents/sister/brother/nephew /best friend/best friend's parents all noticed that I was/am a Simpsons fan.
Which brings me to today's topic. Chess and how much fun chess can be when played on a Simpsons' chess set.
My only complaint is the total lack of Flanders. But that is neither here nor there, as the Krusty/Knight is priceless.
I kicked my boyfriend's ass last night in a best-two-out-of-three battle royale. If he tells you otherwise, he's a dirty, rotten liar.
