Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for April 10, 2022

Do the rooks take the cross town?

No pawns or bishops or kings or queens?

I guess it’s the knight train?

Mid-knight train to Georgia.

I don’t get it. I don’t play chess though. :)

To me it brings to mind, “Have Gun Will Travel – Wire Paladin”.

Looks like a lot of horsing around to me.

And it jumps over the bishop’s crosstown train.

Knights move in a L pattern

Those silly kniggits

I have a data download in which I have to select a date from a calendar. I want 15 days ago to the previous day. 15 days ago is up two from the current date and left one.

“The LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL…TRAIN!”

They are all mares.

If there is an L train, are there also trains labelled A-K? Or M-Z?

dont get it

They are just horsing around.

We’ve gotta get the L out of here!

oh the irony

Should be some Tetris pieces on the train, too.

Take the L Train

It started as the horse race, with lively feinting moves, but that had too much dignity. So, rats, in a maze. And betting on ‘the horses’.

Is this a New York thing?

Why couldn’t the pony whinny? It was a little hoarse!

Ha

I will not be pedantic and explain that knights do not actually move in an L

Checkmate!

You have got to have a sick sense of humor like me

Love it! Thanks for the laugh. Great way to start a day.

I think the joke is the knight captures another chess piece in an L formation.
