"Coby has never been one to pass up an orgasm, especially her own. Enough said?" That's intriguing. You folks apparently know each other pretty well or I've missed a LOT of posts. "Yes it was. I got off my medication and soundly whipped a much superior opponent. I'm done with medication and with chess." Hmmm. I don't see how you whipped him operating with the ADD, 5 step ahead method. You must have gotten into the "zone" and actually got one foot going after the other. Important in chess as well as dancing. Oh, I get it - you actually DID use the loaded .44 approach, you got arrested, went to jail and vowed to give up chess forever. Yeah, that's gotta be it. Now you're just a statistic in criminal chess recidivism waiting to happen. I hope the coffee shops, libraries and parks in your area know about you, buddy. A little commute story: I'm driving in to work at 5:30 in the morning on a 3 lane freeway. The left lane is a commuter lane and commute time starts at 5 so it's basically a 2 lane freeway. I like to make time if possible, but I'm not a pushy driver. It is important that the left lanes be allowed to move faster than the right lanes when possible in my book. So I come up behind this driver in the middle lane and she's (apparently it's a she) about pacing the right lane. But she is passing the car on the right at about one car length a minute. Brave souls are going into the commuter lane to pass us, but I can see I'll soon have my chance in the right lane. There's a car up ahead in the right lane, but I've got plenty of room so I pull to the right and start passing the lady in the middle, but damed if she doesn't start pacing me and closing the gap. So, I'm thinking she obviously has some kind of lane envy or lane dominance thing going on so I get back behind her, but it's cool 'cause she's speeded up now and is passing the car on the right and is keeping it at 75. So, I start to relax, but soon enuf she's back down to 70ish and about pacing the car in the right lane again and an impatient lone driver goes around in the commute lane again. Again, I elect to take my chances in the right lane as I see a clear opportunity on the right once again coming up. So, I pull into the right lane easily accelerating past this car again and about to pull into the left lane but damn if she hasn't caught up to me trying to close the gap AGAIN! So I see it's tight but I have at least a car length, so, stupidly, I follow my left blinker into the middle lane in front of her anyway. She does this bright flashing, horn blowing histrionic. I didn't care because this was the 2nd time she fucked with me. I had let my emotions get the best of me. Then as I start to pull away from her to resume my cruise speed of 80ish, she's tailing me about 3 car lengths back with her brights on. This is well past any speed she ever maintained. I speed up to 85 and she keeps up. This is pretty unusual. Usually someone too inconsiderate to actually get over to the right isn't also aggressive about the lane jockeying necessitated by their passivity. I'm wondering did I run across some road raged, heat packing dude with a weird hair-do? So, I'm thinking, naah, this is some frustrated old bird, with a real need to get laid or some such machoism. But this is irritating me anyway. We've left the traffic behind about a 1/4 mile and the car ahead is about 1/4 mile. So, I realize were sort of in a free zone, alone in the dark, speeding along. If I start slowing down this would-be maniac could decide to pull alongside and give me a good spraying from his mac-10. If it doesn't, then I'm wondering what this person will think about a driver who starts slowing down A LOT. So, I let off the gas and drop to 80, then 75. She paces me but doesn't even seem to want to pass. I speed up again and she keeps up. So, I let off the gas...75, 70, 65, she's with me. 60, 55 she finally drifts behind leaving more distance so as I accelerate back up to speed I see she's given up the chase and she eventually turned off her brights as well as I leave her behind. What the hell could she have been thinking? I hope she learned something from that. Like don't fuck around on the highway. Me too, I guess.
