I Let My Fists Do The Talkin’

Oh, so many reasons to buy giant chess pieces!

Like, pretending you’re in an episode of the Avengers (or an Avengers-themed XTC video).

Even better—Plastic Chess Hats, particularly with the WARNING: ...these products may cause neck injury in the natural course of child play. Constant adult supervision is required. “So, how DID your son end up a quadrapalegic.”

A friend comments that the pawn hat looks like “a condom full of whale jizz”

I think it’s strange that the price of the chess hats bought individually scales upwards with the piece’s status in the game. I mean, the hats are all made of the same stuff… why is a queen hat $50 and a pawn $13?
