(02-04) 10:40 PST ALAMEDA -- A 62-year-old Alameda man was arrested after stabbing a friend to death with a sword, police said Wednesday.

Joseph Wilson Groom was drinking beer and playing chess in his apartment at 1220 Park Ave. with Kelly Scott Kjersem, 40, when something went wrong about 9 p.m. Tuesday, police Lt. Bill Scott said.

The men fell to wrestling, Scott said. Groom went into a bedroom, retrieved a sword with a 21-inch blade and stabbed Kjersem in the stomach, police said.

A female friend of the men, who was in the kitchen making quesadillas, called police. Groom was arrested without further incident.

Police do not know what started the fight.

This is how all my chess matches wind up :(

It's their fault for using Karpov's positioning techniques.

You forgot about the Quesadillas.

Good thing they won't playing monopoly otherwise we might have seen a shooting spree.

I always kept my claymore on standby. In case of that.

I wanted to make fun of the Wizard of Oz for some reason, so I could only get three things. The sword and the chess were obviously in, so it was a tossup between beer and quesadillas.

I did have that image when they where walking through the forest canting that as I read your title. Beer is the better of the two choices sounds a lot like bears.

No one wins in Monopoly except the bank. Like real life.

In real life, banks also go broke and everybody loses...

You should use a King Indian Defense next time. Or a taser. *nod*

This goes to show, quesadillas are too dangerous to be in civilian hands. Only police and the military are responsible enough to own quesadillas.

Well, that's not so bad, as long as civilians are limited to enchiladas with green enchilada sauce, versus the traditional red enchilada sauce.

:tongue:

He got stabbed in the stomach during a chess match.

What would have happened if they'd been playing Scrabble, and the issue of whether something was a real word came up???

That's just scary
