✰ THE WINNERS ✰

First: John425 – “Dah, Boris you’ve been pwned!”

Second: Franklin – Eastern European understanding and cooperation is the goal of the monthly social gathering “Checkmates with our Czech Mates”

Third: Pinky – A hidden camera in Sochi’s most popular bathhouse reveals that there really are no gays in the city.

HONORABLE MENTION

OzarkHillbilly – FOOL! You can’t move the Rubber Ducky like that!

He who must not be named – You sunk my battleship!

RockThisTown – “Waiter! What’s this rook doing in my soup?” “Castling, sir.”

Mu – As popular as spa chess was with the players, the viewers’ reaction lead NBC to vote against it as being raised from demonstration sport to full Olympic event.

al-Ameda – Remember when there used to be American football

C. Clavin – Oooh…I like it when you take my Bishop…

ℛODNEY’S BOTTOM OF THE BARREL

Obama signed an executive order… and here we are…

Gay? They’re downright somber.

It’s called castling Boris, not snorkeling

With ‘Oceans 17’ the theme finally jumped the shark.

There are no submarines in chess… so stop yelling ‘EMERGENCY BLOW.’

    @OzarkHillbilly: I don’t have the slightest idea what you’re talking about.

    Doh.

  3. Pinky says:

    No no no no no. I never make jokes about rubber ducks. Their eyes follow you.

  4. Pinky says:

    I’m telling you, I don’t want my fake name associated with those things. To you, they may be harmless bath toys, but to me, they’re like deleted scenes from Event Horizon.

  5. OzarkHillbilly says:

    @rodney dill: My apologies all. I think I misread something. The rubber ducky was mine Rodney. Pinky, I am so sorry you have found yourself associated with our evil overlords here. My only excuse is 8 pm is my bedtime.

  6. Pinky says:

    Yeah – bedtime. Great for you. Think about how I slept last night, thinking that those…things might have thought I was making fun of them!

  7. rodney dill says:

    @OzarkHillbilly: You didn’t read anything wrong. In cutting and pasting this contest into my template, I left Pinky associated with RockThisTown’s caption.

    Since you made such a big deal about it I struck out your name and put Pinky’s there. I thought that would be obvious since I left your name in struck out. I was just (attempting ) to have some fun with the situation.

  8. rodney dill says:

    …and Pinky… the rubber ducks told me they WERE making fun of you.
