  WannaBe: Looks like Yahoo have ditched local news under their "News" site. This comes after Yahoo/M. Mayer decided to axe the yahoo comic section a few month ago.

Way to go.

I'm following that game over any other retirement/record breakin' game anytime!!

Apr-14-16  Jim Bartle: I'll have to start listening to the Stanley Cup games on radio. Hockey announcers are just amazing, able to describe really fast action coherently. There's a guy named Doc something who is just unbelievable.

  WannaBe: ♔ ATTENTION EVERYONE, ALL MEMBERS ♔

Because of the frequent changes that <Zanzibar> did with his avatar last week, I now realize there's "42" avatar.

I am going to put this to a vote, of ChessGames.com members:

<Should I change my avatar to Ucla Bruin, Brooklyn Dodgers Jackie Robinson "42">??

You can vote

Yes - Change
No - Keep Bugs

Voting will end at 11:59PM April 22nd, 2016 server time (Eastern Time Zone) One vote per member, and I will (not) change my avatar, depending on which one have more votes.

In case of a tie, defending champ (Bugs) will keep the crown. You are not allowed to change your vote, once it's recorded.

(After that little delete option goes away on the web page.)

  OhioChessFan: No. Twould be a tragedy to give up Bugs.
Apr-16-16  technical draw: Yes, change it so I could win best avatar. No, really don't change it. It's a CG Icon. Imagine some rouge newcomer takes bugs and slanders everybody. Some users will think it's you and there goes your legacy.
