Sure, everything can be sex-related.

 

[QRV]

ask Freud.

 

[Magrathean]

^^^ Had to happen.

^ Freud is both terribly overrated and terribly wrong, in my opinion.

QRV, you up for a game?

6: You're right. I can only play c5-b6, and then you'll play d5-b5++. Good game, mate. New match?

Sure, white or black?

 

[QRV]

Nah, I'm too lazy for that. Besides, I've never liked chess that much.

 

[Magrathean]

6: I'll take black again.

Kurt: Qué mal. Bueno, ya qué. Si haces un thread de damas (o damas chinas) igual y le entro, o puedes jugar gomoku.

Ahorita lo checo.

P.S. Freud was wrong on many things, yet it is very true that sex is one of the main motor forces of human behavior. Just take a look around.

 

[6 Stringed Fingers]

But not everything is sex-driven.

 

[Magrathean]

6: Try to see if you can just quote instead of copying+pasting. I'm kind of tired of putting the damn [font=Courier] tags all the time, and it looks terrible in Verdana (imo).

Sex is overrated. And some of us don't let it drive our behavior.

Are you sure you got the right knight?

 

[6 Stringed Fingers]

Gah, haven't slept a single bit since the the beginning of the last game.
I saw it as d7-d6.

It should be:

Can't sleep yet, I still have to memorize a poem for english class.

Daffodils by Williams Wordsworth. I hate it when they write poems in syllables instead of meters.

Never even heard of it, but the title doesn't sound too promising..

What kind of poetry do you like?
