Joe wins one. Sadly, we’re in between series, so like most of Joe’s victories in life, it’s meaningless.

Joe: You may resign at any time.
Joe: But I'm finishing this game in the dumbest way possible
Joe: This is like awkward sex.
Justin: Do you tell her she can resign at any time too?
Joe: :-( ... yeah.
Justin: I plan on making the end of this game as annoying as possible
Justin: So again, probably like you and sex.
Joe: I put on Gilbert Gottfried tapes when I do it.
Justin: Aflack! Aflack! Afffffllllaaacccckkkkkkkkkkkk!
Joe: "You know what I hate?" Women love Gottfried
Justin: This is going on the blog FYI.

Justin: did you finish your book about chess?
Joe: no - i need to
Justin: so is like a manual, or more like a history of?
Joe: it's exsersizes and shit
Justin: I really want that to mean that it has you doing like fingertip pushups and shit
Justin: Monday, Wednesday, Friday: sit still for 8-10 hours moving only your right arm
Justin: Tuesdays and Thursday: 100 reps: flipping over table with chessboard on it when you're losing
Justin: Saturdays and Sundays: anti-semetic epithets (US Chessmasters only)
