You'd think I could have found a bong shaped like a chess piece in a Google Image Search.
Via Mamakind… The Ben Masel Memorial 420 Chess Tournament.
(Chess.com) Ben Masel October 17, 1954 – April, 2011 was a dedicated civil liberties activist who lived in Wisconsin. He was a an amazing personality who gave so much of himself toward the greater good. Ben was a very skilled, high-rated chess player and member of this site and was a valued member of (in particular) The 420 Chess Club. The ending of cannabis prohibition was of particular interest to Ben.
Ben championed freedom for all and it is in this spirit that we celebrate his extraordinary life with an open tournament. May he rest in infinite peace.
The tournament is on May 7th, coinciding with the Global Marijuana March founded by Ben’s fellow Yippie, Dana Beal. All you have to do to compete is play up to eight simultaneous games against an open pool of competitors from the deepest levels of internet chess nerddom. The site lists no requirement that you actually smoke pot during the games, but in the spirit of Ben Masel, I think you should. He would… and he’d win seven and tie one of those games!
