I’ve spent the last hour or so mesmerized by complex and often hilarious chess terminology. I haven’t played chess for years, but am thinking that my lazy brain would be in significantly better shape if I took it up. I’ll have to work on my sportsmanship, though, because I seem to have a habit of flipping the board when things aren’t going my way, and apparently that’s not cool. If I ever found myself playing any large carnivore, though, I’m pretty sure I would gracefully let him or her win.

Is that Patrick? It kind of looks like Patrick, especially if the Polar Bear is winning. I can almost hear him thinking, “I don’t think I like this game.”
