JuanPaul Comments: Fate is actually pretty bad at chess. Now Death is one you have to watch out for.

    I’m sceptical about vikings wearing helmets like that, unless there is a longhorn cow standing behind him and a bat landed on his head.

    Thanks to whoever belled this cat, so I can hear him coming.

    That episode of ‘Quantum Leap’ where Sam became the mime doing warm-up at a Wishbone Ash gig never really worked for me.

    Whispy the Bard was really, really high, and unaware that the trip was about to turn bad.

    (Moral: never buy ‘shrooms from questionable little men you met in the woods)

    @JuanPaul: Fate always knows how the chess game turns out, so he’s [1] really unable to work up much enthusiasm for playing. This means that he’s Fated to lose, which further lowers his interest.

    [1] Fate singular, which is usually portrayed as a dude, rather than the Three Fates, which are chicks. Lachesis and Clotho aren’t big on chess, but Atropos plays a real killer game.

    My thoughts:

    1. Too bad the picture isn’t in focus.
    2. Wait, maybe it is.
    3. Even if it isn’t, I don’t really want a clearer view of this.

    @Tat: It was so bad it didn’t even make the DVD set.

    @Cornelius: yes, with just a smidge of the Black Knight. But even the heir who just wanted to sing would balk at that shirt.

    @MakkaPakka: It’s entirely possible puffy shirt guy is hallucinating it. I can imagine a Viking putting a bat on his head (an ancestor of Ozzy?), but where he’d have found a Texas longhorn cow to stand in front of, I don’t know either. Maybe it was Fate.

    SOMEWHAT BAD! IT MOVES WILL ALL THE PRECISION OF A GAME OF LAWN DARTS WITH YOUR DRUNK AND STONED COUSIN.

    Not to be mean to the author or anything, but I honestly thought “King’s Blood Four” was some kind of computer RPG.

    This is the only way they can decide World Chess Championship matches these days.

    @ARY: Yes, from back in the 8-bit days. It sounds like something you’d buy for your Commodore 64.
