Yup, they're real, alright.
Our mailman moved into our neighborhood when I was a kid, around 11 or 12.
We had already been friendly with him, but then we made friends with his family after their move.
His son was in his mid-twenties and lived at home to help care for his mentally-challenged sister. (both the nicest people ever)
Anyway, my brother learned chess from him, and I learned to be disappointed early on in sex when I discovered the lack of pictures in a Braille Playboy. (don't worry, I found a regular weather-beaten Playboy out in the woods some time later on
)
If a blind man says he only reads Playboy for the articles, you can take that to the bank.
Oh yeah, as to checkers, I had another friend who would continuously kick my ass at checkers.
He made checkers a thing of beauty. Unfortunately, he died in high school when his 4wd flipped over and crushed him.
I like watching chess and checkers matches, but I can only play checkers. Not that well, either.
