Pirates VS The Navy!

While the girls were oohing over plastic bags and ramen box toilet paper holder, I shimmied out of the shop to look at its window display.

I was quite mesmerized by this chess set of pirates and naval officers. So COOL! Not too sure if the pirates were each wielding a cutlass. They look more like swords to me. I love those frowns on the naval officers. Haha.

I like chess sets when they're not in the usual wooden or glass pieces proper. In fact, I don't like playing on the regular pieces and preferably not in black or white. I find it rather annoying somehow. I like playing chess with pieces in peculiar shapes.

I shall go back to take a look at that chess set again and figure out a display space for the board.

Hot Dang! See what you've done?? #1 saw those pieces and wanted one set for himself.
Waitaminute. It should be "See what *I've* done?" I shouldn't let #1 look over my shoulder when reading your blog! Very DANGEROUS for my pocket.
