International chess fugitive Bobby Fischer is dead! Having been given refuge by Iceland for the last however many years they are now considering burying him at Þingvellir, Iceland's national burial ground — usually reserved for statesmen and heroes, as Alda points out.
Great! I expect I'll be buried there eventually, too. I have also lived in Iceland, spewed many a prejudiced rant, and spent far too much time playing tricky but ultimately pointless board games.

ReplyDeletewell, some of his supporters are, but they totally need a reality check...
I'm on it Annie. You just keep the rants coming, I'll work on the press to send a private jet for you. How long do you think it will take you to grow a beard?
ReplyDeleteI already have one! It's just very fine and blonde.
ReplyDeleteNow if only you could lose your grip on reality, that'd make you a shoe-in!
ReplyDelete..and somehow obtain an upside-down triangle for a head.
ReplyDeleteAre all board games considered ultimately pointless then? I've been hoping to discover a career path out of hungry hungry hippos for some time now.
Bobby Fischer buried just like a normal human being:
