 Subject: VBXXXX United X-mas BBQ
Message:
Welcome all and sundry to our X-mas BBQ. Please place your presents under the tree over there. Yes, that's right we have started another BBQ, this time all of our friends and rivals are invited to attend. There is plenty of VB and XXXX in the fridge, and for those that prefer something different, I'm afraid it's BYO!
We still have the prawns don't we.... ahh, there they are, whack 'em on the barbie chilliman. Good stuff. Pass a beer over will ya sjs4manu. Where's that Canadian duo, tdks and b3onehead? Is "Aussie Pete" piergiorgio coming? bravesparrow, have you marinated those prawns? Garlic and sweet chilli? Nice work. politeplayer, I hear you've been away. Oh, with moongazer. Next time remember the timeout rule! How's things up in sunny Queensland tedb? Did you come down with mattip and judge? Same flight? Did they serve VB or XXXX on the plane? cherelle has been looking forward to meeting you. Better get a few soft drinks for the youngsters, nide and x_vance_x, or maybe we'll introduce them to beer! ozzeeguru will be late, he's gone bush for a few weeks.
I wonder if xena, gru88y, abegtrup, apastpawn, srpen, bergil, arikan, bgscot and leo_london will turn up? They did RSVP...............
I wonder if any of the other rival team members will show their faces.......
Oh well, sit back, relax and enjoy!

That's the first sign of madness you know? Well anyway, you know I'd be here, I wouldn't miss one of your little soirees for the world. Pity you always cook the same stuff and the beer's crap, but there's not much going on in this place at the moment...so I guess it's better than nothing. I hope you bought me something nice for Christmas, seeing how I'm your Special Rival and all. Oh and I have a Christmas joke to share.

A. Because he feels his presents.

Message:
Tastes like crow and sort of greasy (not in a pleasant way). Only the breast meat is worth cooking up. The easiest way to clean them is to step on the wings, grab the feet and give them a firm yank up. This will seperate the breast and legs from the rest of the remains. Filet the breast and marinate it in worchestire sauce, green onion and a little lemon juice for at least 24 hours. Tenderize it with a hammer, bread it and fry it up.

[ report this post ] | Greetings VB-Fourex United....
Message:
....and thanks rupert29 for the invite. webb and I from team Southern Chess got a late invite, so sorry we missed the first round of lunacy. We will attempt to get caught up. For those of you not familiar with webb and me, let me bring you up to speed - I discovered webb several years ago withering away in the bowels of a state psychiatric hospital. A severely disturbed individual he was. He would spend his days sitting nude in his cell, playing chess against himself while repeating verbatim every line from the movie Rain Man. I decided to take pity on him, and began attempting to bring him back to reality. I soon discovered that webb actually had a keen analytical mind (and an unfortunate yet permanent case of body odor). He is really quite an accomplished chess player, but has the social skills of an autistic earthworm. I brought him to GameKnot with the hopes of developing his people skills. He has come quite a long way. Please be nice to him when he gets here, and remember a few simple rules of interaction with him:
1) Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to shake his hand - he thinks his fingers are his, umm....how should I say this? He thinks he has multiple 'organs' and shaking his hand will put him into an extreme state of excitement only Lithium, Xanex, and Corona can control....Just please don't do it.
2) Avoid looking directly at him - he once attacked a hospital orderly for doing that. He then proceeded to eat his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.
3) Rememer - webb has no control over what he says or does, so don't take offence when he asks to sniff your underpants and starts humping your leg - he's just being friendly.
Anyway, thanks once again rupert29 and the rest of you at VB-Fourex United for inviting us. We are sure to enjoy your party. Please let me know if webb starts getting out of control. I can return him to the hospital at a moments notice.
Season's Greetings,

There is obviously some correlation between lunacy and playing chess. I wonder what it is that draws these borderline personalities together???
Also - if VB-Fourex Un. have our own tourney, do we all have to be GK members? What about a themed tournament, say Sicilian Def??? I don't know if I will survive the wait for an intelligent response so please don't spend all day trying to think of one - just respond with the most irrelevant and unintelligible thought that comes to mind - like usual.

Message:
Right are you sitting comfortably, er webb dear, your trousers are undone and if you are going to
sit that close to me, please re-dress yourself first. Thanky you now that is better.
Well then once upon a time not so long ago....
Last night, something flew in through the bedroom window and landed upon the bed before me,
looking like the entomological by-product of an illicit night of passion between Cuthullu and a
Panzer tank. It was as mauve as the blindfold before the firing squad and almost an inch long and
I swore it was leering at me. I rushed my options- kill it, throw it back into the night or just
ignore it and hope it goes away. Was it capable of inflicting pain, or even death? To swat its
rather unnerving head would solve the problem, there and then. As I reached for the newspaper,
a rationality inquired: Why would such an insect wish me harm if I had no malicious intentions
towards it? It could be a harmless member of God’s creation. Sure, it probably scared the willies
out of Noah as he carried a pair onto the Ark. He probably glanced up to the heavens and asked,
“Even these, which I’m tempted to smite with a clay tablet Lord?”
These things never move until you look away. Blink and they vanish, only to crawl over your face
as you sleep. Without taking my eyes off the bed, I crossed the room to my bookshelf and
attempted to locate the closest thing I had to the ‘I Spy, Book Of Nasty Looking Flying Things’.
Inside I was informed of the Latin name, habits, and even discovered I was dealing with a
female. A worrying thought, since she could be nest hunting and about to leave me to baby sit a
brood of millions. What the book failed to mention, in my hour of need, was her possible ability
to spit, sting, bite or just fly in front of my face, obscuring vision, until I tripped and fell down the
stairs, where upon she would lay her eggs in my cooling corpse.
It also omitted to include her level of defensive mechanisms. A simple sliding scale at the bottom
of each entry of each bug would have sufficed, obviously with the text in bold font and red letters
to aid location in situation such as these. The cockroach can live for days without a head. You
stamp on the bugger and think its gone off to the big skirting board in the sky. Then upon your
return with a dustpan and brush, it has scuttled away and is plotting to use your mouth as a toilet
as soon as you fall asleep. The one on the bed looked worse than a cockroach. I decided a
newspaper was not enough and resorted to use the hardback ‘I Spy, Book Of Nasty Looking Flying
Things’.
I began pounded her with all my might. Under such onslaught she began to twitch, but I wasn’t
sure I’d even hurt her. She was biding her time, une petitie mort, waiting for me to stop due to
exhaustion or just plain frustration. The moment I stopped, lifted the book and took a quick look
she would be in my face and looking for a good spot to bury the kids. I did what any man would
do, I panicked, dropped the book on her, and sprinted for the door.
I spent the next two nights on the sofa before I found enough courage to return to the bedroom.
There I found the book as I had left it. But she was nowhere to be seen and I felt a sudden urge
to brush my teeth.
