16/17 not do justice on the history of that word and why chess should qualify. Basically: sports are a combination of strategy and physical ability and though chess has a lot more of the former than the latter, it's still very much both! Maybe this could be your #DotD @[email protected]!

@MarkHoltom
I think I'd rather celebrate the life and death of Virginia Woolf on 28th March. At least she was real (and wrote loads of stuff down).

Heute vor 40 Jahren bekamen die Untoten ihren düsteren Tag. Immer noch ein Brett im Zombie/Horror Genre. Ohne diesen Film gäbe es kein "Walking Dead" und Co.
Und immer noch in Deutschland beschlagnahmt. Schaut mal rein, es lohnt sich. #DOTD #dayofthedead #TomSavini #knbfx #gregnicotero #GeorgeRomero #zombie #kult

#DOTD: Wilfred Owen (18 March 1893 – 4 November 1918)

"If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,
—
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori."

What a drive from @LiamLawson30 - 19 to 9. Def. a #DOTD contender. PIA consistent (5 to 5), NOR bottles the start AGAIN and loses 3 spots by the end. Great defensive driving from VER, & what a race from LEC and SAI #F1 #Formula1 #P1

I had a real nice day out with the ghouls & ghosts of the District of the Damned for the Necropolis Bash/Bash! We kitbashed warbands from a communal bitz pile then played a game with em! It was great putting faces to usernames & I'm very stoked for future undead carnage! (Also very hyped to paint these!)

#DOTD: Qin Gui 秦觀 (1049–1100), #Chinese #poet of the Song 宋 (960–1279). #ChineseLiterature

纖雲弄巧，飛星傳恨，銀漢迢迢暗度。金風玉露一相逢，便勝卻人間無數。
柔情似水，佳期如夢，忍顧鵲橋歸路。兩情若是久長時，又豈在朝朝暮暮。

——秦觀〈鵲橋仙〉

A fave few lines…

Tell St. Peter at the Golden Gate
—I won’t be late.
But, lemme get this straight: can I
get a beer in here?
Does anyone mind if I smoke?
[plink]
Hey, where’s everybody going?
[plink, plink… plink]
Where’s everybody going? [plink,
plink, plink]
Who let that clave player back
in here?
