Picking up from the #505 invention exchange, the "Rat Pack Chess Set," I hereby postulate the Games-Sloane ("Gloane?") chess set. The Black King (what other colour could ensconce Club Scum, I ask?) is, obviously, mummifiedstalin, while the White King (truth, justice, the American way and chicken sausage) is obviously the domain of Phantom Engineer. But who are the other (wo)men upon this cosmic board? I shall only offer one suggestion. The red knight (colour of the blood of Uranus) could only be cröefan, the errant red knight errant, unique in being movable by either faction. Bait the beast in their lair!

I hate to start this off with an argument, but Mummi is and has always been the Black QUEEN.
And Mitchell can be a One-Eyed Bishop.

I like being the red knight. You will get a raise at the next review.

I hate to start this off with an argument, but Mummi is and has always been the Black QUEEN. I wouldn't want to be dogmatic and figured that queen would be a coveted slot. Perhaps the Sloane set can have two queens? At least in blue states.

This thread is too complicated.

Hating on science--that makes Ratso a bishop.
Also: Any bets on how long it'll take Sloane to turn this chess game into a scene from History of the World, Part I?

No, I'm just the idea man on this one, leaving all design work to the committee.
But as to my face, a little off the ears, please. Oh, and maybe a s'kosh' more hair (long as it's not in the nose).

Perhaps the Sloane set can have two queens? At least in blue states. No. In our game, the "King" is the Queen. Thus, I'm the Black Queen. The traditional chess "queen" will be referred to in our game as "the bitch." Sia's mine. I'd put Mitchell or Ratso in there, but they're obviously bishops in my awesome catholicism of awesomeness. And DQ is a "king," but he's really just two red checkers sitting next to the board wanting to be included. I dunno who the other queen would be. Atari? Except that he'd spend all his time figuring out how to make sure that "queen" didn't mean he was crossdressing but was really just somehow referring to an Extreme cover band in an alternate universe. Or maybe Forrest, but he's not even on the board, so the game can never start, and we just sit around bs-ing theories about which Kubrick movie he's been sucked into. Or, better yet, crowfan as the White Queen of Kings. But all the other pieces are just Heineken cans, not even chess pieces. And they don't fit on the board. And they can't move. So I win.

More. Godo would be a rook because he doesn't like things that move in subtle directions like fruity "diagonals."
Phantom would be a knight. That *could* be because he wields his mighty electric axe of classic rock +3...but it's really because he needs a horse to, you know, move.
MJ would be another knight, but that's only because of how he moves. He keeps trying to go in one direction and ends up veering off somewhere else. He usually just ends up watching movies and writing songs to himself rather than fighting.
The pawns are all the kids who just found out about MST for the first time and are exploring their nubile hipsterdom by coming on the board and saying "Hey, this show is cool! And I noticed a riff that I'm sure no one else knows about!"
So that's my team.

Leave it to Mummi and Crowfan to ruin a perfectly good game.
