haha!... chess pieces.

so, here goes, even though i know for a fact that i'm forgetting somebody (my mind is a seive & i apologize in advance).

King: SG, of course. patient, powerful.
Queen: me. versatile and quick to react.
Bishops: belfana and Blondie. both hide their natural strengths behind quiet facades, but can move to protect wherever they are needed, even if they get there in a bit of a roundabout manner.
Knights: ford and phthisic. no one's ever quite sure where they're going, but they're always standing right between you & the enemy when you need them to be.
Rooks: lindvior and bigdoggie. staunchly loyal, zealous protectors who are always the first to attack & the last to give up.
Pawns: all the people who've stuck by me, standing between me & disaster. you all deserve to be knighted.

True.

True, very true. But of them I was taught to respect knights, due to their lack of directness. They get into place other pieces can't and must be watched for that exact reason. I've chewed away many a rook or bishop sitting comfortably behind enemy lines, with my trusty knights. Heck, I've gone for check once or twice that way.
