They were all crying in their soymilk

. . .because you know, they're lactose intolerant. Ha ha ha ha ha!

**For those of you about to be offended for me making fun of geeks being lactose intolerant, take a moment just . . .stop it! Okay, we will continue now.















The Mead winning tradition continues. Gee, writing all these posts about how awesome we are is really quite exhausting. Here goes; two Saturday's ago Chad, Owen and Luke went to dominate the chessters in greater Phoenix area who weren't too sickly to join in. Too much? Okay I'll try again; thanks to the milky white skin of those participating 259 units of greenhouse gases were offset during the event due to no overhead lighting being necessary. One more try? The census bureau had to readjust their 2012 census due to inaccurate reporting; the 97 participants left their mothers basements for the first time since going to the bookstore to purchase Nimzowitsch's My System.

For those of you still reading. . .congratulations!!! You are not a dweeb. Cool. I like, feel, like totally comfortable making fun of these chess people because I am forced to live with and love, three of them. Cereal.

I am so proud of my little dorks though! Chad and Owen both took first place in their division and Luke received a ribbon for participation (we now know who the true dorks are). In Owen's division the games were forty minutes and Chad's were two hours, they each played four games. Luke was a bit bummed out when they handed out the trophy's but was easily soothed when they gave out candy (he gets that part from me).

Chad's opponents ranged from fifteen to seventy (a change from the eight year old he usually plays and takes joy in occasionally beating at chess club). Love you dear! Chad set winning his division as a goal and take this from me, has been spending waaaayyyy too much time playing chess lately. At least he's got his trophy to keep him warm at night.
