That's a great feeling isn't it?

GREAT is your gongfu.

(Gongfu = skill ?)

Yep. Skill, art, mastery. It's the real word that "kung fu" is based on.

(In fact, "kung fu" should actually be pronounced "gong fu", it's just that most people don't know the rules of the Wade-Giles romanization. Aiya! )

I noticed one of the CAD people at work had a new, glass chess set on his desk and he asked if I'd like to play a game at lunch. As the morning went on he started talking shit...

Lunch came around and I checkmated him in four moves:

That was the highlight of my day so far...

If you don't know the four move checkmate, you don't deserve to own a chess board!

...and you especially shouldn't talk shit. Good thing is, now he knows and I'm sure it will never happen again.
