Default Jessop Burgers






Denis Jessop cruising the South Pacific on a yacht called "No Horizon" payed for by the Lawyer Collective hits a ferocious storm and is stranded on a desert isle . After several weeks , Denis through boredom , fashions a chessboard and pieces from coconut palms .

Just as soon as he finishes, a native springs from the bushes and asks Denis what he is doing . Denis , with a haughty look of scorn and derision says " Look boy , this is chess , and you don't like it !" the native responds " Ah yes , i have heard of this game from my elders " , Denis interjects " You fuzzy-wuzzies , you no like chess , too comp-li-ca-ted for you , you go catch fish for me yes ? "



The native immediately spins on his heels and trudges off to the undergrowth where after several seconds of earnest rummaging , produces what looks awfully like a spear . He approaches a slightly bemused looking Denis and OMG i can see now , IT IS A SPEAR !!

....[ CENSORED - DUE TO GRAPHIC NATURE OF CONTENT ].....

As night fell the native and his family settle down around a raging fire on the moonlit beach , playing with the board and pieces and gorging themselves , on what we will discreetly call here , Jessop Burgers .

Default Epilogue






Two days have passed, everyone on the island has eaten a Jessop Burger . Unfortunately the burgers didn't agree with the indigenous people's tummies and many fell ill . In fact it got much worse than that . After 7 days the island's small population were all dead . Also , as some of the Jessop Burgers were canoed across to a couple of nearby islands , they too suffered terrible losses .

The camera pans down to the beach , running its way along the shimmering sand till it stops to focus on Denis's skull perched upright on a tiny dune with windswept seaweed masquerading as some type of macabre toupee .

The camera pans again just above the sand-line to the waves that slosh to and fro , creeping inextricably to the chess pieces , that lay strewn upon the shore .



The camera pans across for the very last time.
Coming to rest on a strange obelisk partially submerged in the sand .
As the camera slowly pans upwards .... it becomes jaw-droppingly clear .....a dawning realisation is thrust upon the viewer , .... it is ..... the White King !





[The final scene eerily reminiscent of the ending to Planet of The Apes]

You mean to tell me that Jessop burgers delivered some sort of mad cow disease that wiped out whole populations? Didn't the same thing happen on Chesschat?

I guess they would be as old and tough as the water buffalo they eat in the Philippines after working the fields for 20 years
