BingoBoingo: truffles: Maybe your idea of a great game of chess is slamming the pieces into each other as fast as possible, but anything less than a half hour per person removes the chance for the occasional good move in the middle game.

BingoBoingo: I imagine some sort of way to eliminate ties might need to be devised.

BingoBoingo: Right now it is a three way tie with everyone 1-1.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: We still need nubbins` to start playing.

BingoBoingo: Speed kills a lot of the beauty in the game

BingoBoingo: Handling coyotes is easy. You growl and chase them away from whatever dumpster they were raiding and then piss on the dumpster to remind them it is a human dumpster. Then as you walk away flip the coyotes double middle fingers.

BingoBoingo: Seriously though encountering coyotes is one of my favorite parts of late night/early morning walks.

BingoBoingo: Eh, in this neighborhood leaving a beloved pet outside overnight is a poor idea. Too many coyotes and foxes.

BingoBoingo: I could never tolerate an indoor cat. The piss smell is too rank and I don't have toxoplasmosis.

BingoBoingo: Why actually "get" cat. Just leave tins of food outside and eventually you'll have a feral or 12 hanging around taking care of mice outside of the home, which is the best place for mice to die.
