Go Catch Phrases
    Keywords: Humour

Hikaru79: This used to be a thread on the Toriyama World forum, but it has since become extinct, so I thought I'd bring it back on SL, in the hopes that it reaches at least a fraction of the amusement the original did.

The concept is simple: come up with Go-related catchphrases. I'll get things started, although I only remember one of them from the lengthy list on TW:

1. All your stones are belong to me! [1]

2. It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.

3. That group is so strong, it doesn't need eyes!

4. Bah! Eyes are for kyus. (You can replace "eyes" by pretty much everything else, like "territory" or "good shape". To be used in "sour grapes" situations.) victim

5. Go players aren't afraid of hurricanes because they only have one eye (in email confirming that a tournament in NC was still on after hurricane Isabella passed through the eastern portions of the state).

6. A spectator of a handicap game: "How kind of White! One problem less for Black!" Mikesh
