NormanDunbarFor goodness sake! Just went to the local hotel for supper. The place was full of a chess convention with chess players everywhere in Reception telling us all how great they are at chess. Honestly, there's nothing worse than chess nuts boasting in an open foyer.

Estarriol, Terrorist Dragonthat red dot on your forehead, not a laser sight, just the marker for the 18 cats I have just released.
@Thebratdragon Isn't that the same as a laser sight then?
@NormanDunbar this is slower
@Thebratdragon And a lot more toxic if cats are involved!
That post DESERVED it
@Thebratdragon I cannot disagree, to be honest.

@NormanDunbar that joke is so bad I’m almost tempted to call for a fediblock 🤣
@ginger_tosser 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Cat Herder 💔 🗽 🇺🇲@CatHerder Just in time for Christmas too. Result! 😀
Dana das Grau 🧙🏻🧝♂️@DanadasGrau Maybe a few things, I suppose! 🤔
WiseGreyOwl 🌍 🦉@NormanDunbar Classic!
Hamish The PolarBear@NormanDunbar I can't believe how long it took me to realise this was a joke... but I still laughed.
@hamishtpb I love to draw people in towards the punchline....😀
Niels Nielsen, geographer@NormanDunbar I'll rate that joke around 2250.
@nichni Out of 10? 😉
Glad you liked it.
Glad you liked it.
@NormanDunbar Elo-rating, as used by FIDE 😉 Check, mate.
Rupert V/@nichni @NormanDunbar Call 'em like you CM.
Fi@NormanDunbar That is terrible enough that I will tell it to The Child, he will appreciate it 😂
Why did the elf quit his job roasting chestnuts?
Because the work was driving him nuts.
That is joke from Tesco Luxury Crackers, I wish I had spent that £8 on wine instead.
@JustFi Morning Fi. Glad you enjoyed it. And you are always better buying the wine, crackers are such a rip off.
CJ Paloma Likes Longer Days@NormanDunbar I just stole that and put it on a group chat where I knew it would play well (heheheh see what I did there?) It did. Thank you.
@cjpaloma Psssst! I stole it too, I just worked it into something that hopefully, nobody would suspect was a bad puns until the very end!
Enjoy.
Wulfy—Speaker to the machinesChess players, a wretched hive of scum and villainy.
Literally, the worst of us !!!!
@n_dimension Indeed!
Maria Langer | 📝💎🌵🛥️Gawd, how I love a good pun, especially when I don't expect it. 😊
@mlanger @donlamb_1 Me too.
Edelruth, PBS Passport Holder🔥🔥🔥
That is the hell to which you are to be consigned. Did not pick up even a hint until that last line.
So, take this with you 🏅
@Edelruth I like to string people along, sometimes convincingly, until the punchline! 😉

Andrew@NormanDunbar no pun intended ten did
Trish Roberts
Chupacabra won't comply
Ciara
Steve Holden@NormanDunbar oddly enough, Hastings is indeed hosting a chess tournament over Christmas!
@holdenweb Excellent! Not that I play very well at all.
bit101@NormanDunbar I read this, shrugged, moved on to read the next post. Then the synapses kicked in and I got it. Nice.
@bit101 Better late than never! 😀
@NormanDunbar It reminds me of an old one that takes a ton of set up, so I'll jump to the punch line, "... he was charged with transporting miners across stayed lions for immortal porpoises."
@bit101 I can probably figure that one out! Thanks.
@NormanDunbar choose your own adventure!
PaulNickson 🕊️🎛️🎼@NormanDunbar That’s good.
@PaulNickson I thank you.
Axel@NormanDunbar
For a second I read that last line in the current spirit of times.
