I've always wanted to do a chess by mail game. My biggest concern would be one of us making a mistake and our boards looking different.
Here's fine. You go first since you claim to be really bad.
I'll play. I was the chess champ of my elementary school, but haven't really played since then.

Love those Mr. Show DVDs. Only times I ever listened to audio commentary more than once.
Here's mine. Don't expect as much out of me this time around.
It probably was inadvertent. 40 years ago they were more well known than most of these are today.
Two obvious ones I don't think were mentioned
Ratt (the rat in the street)
The Leaves (the plant in the lower left)
