There is, in fact, a USCF that is *even more* screwed up than
the U.S. Cycling Fattienation. Skip down to the end of the
article for an extra bonus surprise. I was wondering
if Laff@me had given up on RBR since LANCE retired, but
apparently he's found a new crusade. I feel some sympathy
for him - Masters Fatties and dopers are quite harmless compared
to chess players, just as RBR is a bastion of sanity and good
manners versus chess groups.

Sounds like a good time to castle. My best move is knight to queen's
skirt one, but timing is everything.

Dumbass,
Admitting you're into queens on rbr could move you up the Kunich gaylist.

No shit! Try Googling "Brian Lafferty" on rec.games.chess.politics or
rec.games.chess.misc. You'll be sucked into a vortex of Twilight Zone-
like surreality.

The chess groups are almost extraterrestrially weird...it's impossible
to describe.

But do they have sexist threads about hot chess players ? Are there
any hot chess players ?

An administrative judge? Great - Laff with a gavel. Probably didn't
need one, but I'm sure he banged it around a lot.
