Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for September 17, 2024

Sounds like an ancient chess game in Scotland where the loser got “right wroth” and smashed the board over his opponent!

Sweeping the chessboard from off of the table would also had been acceptable …

Rodney is very lucky that he is not going into space with the chessboard.

A man from Prague and his friend were playing chess at a restaurant when an Australian waiter interrupts their game. The waiter says, “have a check, mate. Your Czech mate is about to be in checkmate… oh, and here’s the cheque, mate.”

Checkmate: where the knight takes his rightful place as the hero of the board.

Checkmate is the final chapter in the epic novel of chess, written with tactical brilliance.

Chess players are excellent at romance;

they know how to make a move and say, “Checkmate, I love you.”

To lose a Chess match to Rodney? Yeah, I would, too…

When you (if you ever) win against the Wizard, do not gloat or trash talk

Humility and apology are a safer strategy: “Sorry, Mr. Wizard sir, but I think that’s ‘Checkmate’ … Thank you for letting me win.”

…..sore loser!!!

Don’t ever mess with the Wiz, no matter how innocuous it may seem!

If you are going to throw a tantrum, throw it high.

Why didn’t Wiz just melt the chess pieces like Charlie X did?

Wait, Rodney actually won a battle? There’s a first time for everything, I guess.

Ooooh, chess! I LOVE CHESS!

Pairs nicely with Non Sequitur today.

is this an example of let the Wookiee (wizard in this case) win?

Note to self ……. Do “NOT” beat a Wizard at any game ….. may not end well ……. :)

You know Wiz, you could just ask for a rematch!

He became right wroth with his opponent and smote him upon the pate most vigorously.
