Reply | 18 Aug 2008, 20:54:57   Chess Team names I found a list of names of actual chess teams collected from various team tournaments in Ohio.

I'm a Castle" "I Am Not a Rook" refers to Nixon's "I am Not a Crook" so I don't understand how your addition to the team name goes along the same lines. |

Reply | 19 Aug 2008, 12:03:55 In reply to ElRey Re: Chess Team names AHhh, Ok. well, it has to do with a TV commercial that played not too long ago. It was a man dressed as a hot dog angrily proclaiming, "I am NOT a weiner,,,,, I'm a frank" or something like that. it's been a while, but it was a hoot |

Reply | 19 Aug 2008, 18:13:22   Re: Chess Team names .. Two already registered handles are: "WMDee" {as in, weapons of mass destruction}, and "AuralSects." Other hypothetical ones, are; as per the 'no space inbetween' rule, are: "CondiRicesGambit"; a take-off, of chess,' "Rice Gambit" "Bushwacked," and "Kill....{I can't say the word, lest the FBI comes after me} ..The parenthetical statement, is also a part of the long handle. "WhosFischer?," and "What-Vietnam-War?"; for the generations 'Y' & 'Z,' who seem to be clueless about Any number of things!; esp. the 'Zees'! "MostlyUncredentialed"; In celebration of, 'Obama's' meteoric-like rise, to the presidential candidacy. "TheEmptySuit," {An expression inspired by worst-case-scenarios, of Either candidate; if McCain were to tangibly, mentally-age, even more!?; and if Obama were to become, Even More deliberative, halting, and pre-varicating, in his answers to posed questions!?}. "No-Longer-Stuck-On-Jodie-Foster" {This is specifically reserved for John Hinkley.. if he ever gets his full freedom, and takes up chess; better yet, he {Hinkley} should always be required to wear this in public, as a monogrammed 'T-shirt' or sweatshirt! "Darkhorse," and "Out-of-The-Blue"; Inspired by the two expressions we'll probably be hearing a lot of, should either McCain or Obama, be forced to 'bow-out' for whatever health, or even further scandal-related reasons, that may yet surface{!?} And lastly, the two handles to simultaneously, be Most Feared, and-or pitied!: "NimzoZugzwang," and his possible 'offspring': "NimzoZugzwangsDNA." |
