We are all aware by now that Christopher Columbus enslaved, tortured, and killed natives in the name of profit, right? Just wondering.

    It isn’t ‘celebrated’ in my daughter’s montessori school. I think they get a more balanced view of history nowadays.

    I didn’t even KNOW today was “a day” until I started calling mortgage companies and got voicemail about “the holiday”. What kind of bullshit holiday is Columbus day? Omg. Let’s have “I’m wearing red” day, and take a four hour lunch.

    UGH. tomorrow is gonna be a BEEYOTCH of return phone calls.

    Yeah… how about that Amerigo Vespuci or Leaf Ericson too? Pillaging and Plundering… throughout history. I’m glad chess came along. I do my pillaging on 64 squares to stay in touch with my inner colonizing, ethnic cleansing, brutal, profiteering war-monger.

    YOWZA!

    I had no idea people were so passionate about this holiday!

    I just started hating it when somewhere along the line my employers stopped giving me the day off…

    @Derek: My friend went to one of those montessori schools. He learned how to cook some mean linguini and fettucine too!

    @Annie: I’m so jealous. I was about to delete your comment for cussing, but Donnie said not to. But I’m not allowed to cuss.

    That’s just wrong. Donnie’s free to talk about dildos for kids, but I can’t even say “ass”. What a punk.

    @Allen: We call it “Eggish Sentience Day”

    @Blunderman: OK, this explains a lot. Post upcoming.

    @Wang: Your employers didn’t want you ending up like the French.

    I actually wasn’t aware that Donnie had a language policy but please send Donnie my affectionate gratitude for not censoring me. 🙂

    By the way you just said “ass”.

    There is technically no language policy, except for the Mascot. There’s been so little cussing (and it’s not like this is a kids’ site) that I hadn’t even considered it.

    I’d prefer no cussing, but there’s been no mass protest so I obviously don’t care enough. (Even some guy’s sketchy chicken comments are still around.)

    You mean that Nick guy? No clue who he is.

    Although many comments are from other chess bloggers, I’d estimate 2/3 of visitors are from non-chess sources. “Nick” was almost certainly a non-chess blogger guy.
