Never Play C-III on Acid

(9)

Which brings us to the twelfth Imam and whether you can play C-III on Acid.

I don't know. Never tried. I did try playing chess on Acid, one time. I was about 30-45 minutes into an Acid trip and played a game with Kootch on the kitchen table. The kids (also beginning to Trip) were watching. Kootch was our 'babysitter' at the time.

We played a quick game and I easily defeated poor Kootch who was not a very good chess player. But during the game I was struck by the grotesque barbarity of (stomps above me as I write this) what I was doing. I hated it even as I was (more stomps above) defeating Kootch in a simple opening. I saw myself for the very first time as a 'psychological carnivore' and I didn't like what I saw.

Kootch took her quick defeat in the style of a good sport, although she was a little surprised at my 'Acid ability.' Following the game we all went our seperate ways: Kootch did her usual thing of supervising the goings-on, the kids did their usual thing of whatever that was, and I did my usual thing of listening to Beethoven on the living room couch.

This brings us to the question of whether you can play C-III on Acid. My take is that you might be able to manage it for about 40 minutes but you will ruin your game by bonding to your opponents, especially your female opponents. My advice is, never play C-III on Acid.
