Uncircumcised Dog

I asked Kootch about the broken window incident yesterday. She told me that one of the K-Mart employees took the blame. Seems he had been cutting weeds near her car with a gas powered weed cutter when one or more of the flexible plastic blades impacted a rock causing it to be thrown upward with such force that it shattered the window on the driver's side, scattering glass throughout the car. K-Mart paid to replace the window. Kootch believes (tap) the story.

While doing research for this blog yesterday I discovered a possible reason why the fish wanted me to spell my last name (tap). For parts of '90 - '91 the Colorado Chess Informant spelled my name (in the address box) with a 'd' instead of an 'h,' causing the first three letters to spell, 'Dog....' (boom) instead of 'Doh.....' The request may have been a subtle reference to that mis-spelling 'error,' which was eventually corrected. The fish may have been trying to remind me that whereas he was indeed a fish, I was an uncircumcised dog (tap).

Speaking of the CCI, it actually published four of my games: two loses and two draws. No wins. What did it take to defeat me in those days? See the next post.
