| Apr-13-06 | | brankat: <TheAlchemist> Have You had a chance to find out anything more about the availability of Dr.Vidmar's 1951 book, whether in Slovene, English, German or Russian? Thank You. Btw, just remembered, one of Dr. Josip Vidmar's books, written sometime in the 70's, has a chapter on his brother Milan. I don't remember the original title, something like Portraits, or Faces, or Personalities, where he gives his account/impressions of some interesting/famous people he had known. Dr.M.Vidmar is one of them. Would You know if this book is avaliable? Thanks again. |

| | TheAlchemist: Some witty quotes by American comedian Stephen Wright: "You can't have everything. Where would you put it?"
"I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize."
"I used to work in a fire hydrant factory. You couldn't park anywhere near the place." "It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it." "Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time." "I bought some batteries, but they weren't included." "One day I put instant coffee in a microwave and almost went back in time." "I got a packet of powdered water but I don't know what to put in it." "I had some eyeglasses. I was walking down the street when suddenly the prescription ran out." "When the guy who made the first drawing board got it wrong, what did he go back to?" "What's another word for thesaurus?"
"I'm writing an unauthorized autobiography. When it's finished I'm going to sue myself." "Curiosity killed the cat, but for a while I was a suspect." "I hate it when my foot falls asleep during the day because that means it's going to be up all night." "The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese." |

| May-09-06 | | Where is my mind: Stephen Wright:

| May-18-06 | | meloncio: <TheAlchemist> Did the world know that a NO-ICE hockey exists? Just playing on skates, you know. We spanish are very good on it, though I should say catalonian are very good. :-) Yes, I know a field-hockey also exists, but it's so boring as baseball to me. |
|
May-18-06
| | TheAlchemist: <meloncio> Yes, I know. A friend of mine was national champion with his team when we were in elementary school. How about this... Did you know about UNDERWATER HOCKEY? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underw... |
|
| May-19-06 | | meloncio: <TheAl><Did you know about UNDERWATER HOCKEY?> No, I never heard before. We are really living in a crazy world. |
|
| May-19-06 | | farrooj: I checked out the link, there's even underwater rugby and football...
Do you think tennis would work? |
|
| May-20-06 | | Chopin: <Farrooj> <I checked out the link, there's even underwater rugby and football... Do you think tennis would work?> I'll try it out and get back to you. |
|
| May-20-06 | | farrooj: Thanks, Can you tell me what sort of equipment you are planning on using? |
|
| May-20-06 | | Chopin: <Farrooj> <Thanks, Can you tell me what sort of equipment you are planning on using?> A tennis racket, a tennis ball, a net, and a copy of my will. |

| Jun-16-06 | | EmperorAtahualpa: <TheAlchemist> Can you do me a favor please? Could you please visit a couple of Serbian newspaper websites and read some articles about the <Argentina vs. Serbia&Montenegro> match? I am interested to know how the Serbian press respond to this humiliation. Hope you can do me that favor. Thanks, mate! |

| | TheAlchemist: <EA> It's a problem because I can't read cyrillic much, but I managed to find this, B92 is one of the best independent media houses (I know it's a radio station, maybe something other too): http://www.b92.net/sport/mundijal20... Here's a brief translation:
<What a disgrace by the "Plavi" (blue)> The football team of S&M have experienced one of the biggest disgraces and humiliations ever. How to describe a game, where the "plavi" (I'll be using the original) were ran over by Argentina by 6:0!!! The useen disgrace by our footballers began already in the 6th minute... from there on, our team didn't really exist on the pitch... How to explain, that our team didn't fire a single shot against Abbondanzier's goal except Milosevic's try in the 50th minute... the formation seemed confused...
after the third goal, it was clear we had no business playing with the "Gauchos"... a bit more energetic play in the first 19 minutes (of the 2nd half) was "nullified" by Kezman's red card after he hacked down Mascherano with two feet... The match was followed by over 10 thousand fans, who were very disappointed by the catastrophic "edition" of our team. If I may add some thoughts, I don't think S&M are actually that bad, but it's a Balkanian mentality to just let go after being down say 3-0, other teams will fight on, but they think what's the point. After all, they did qualify convincigly ahead of Spain, and played well against the Netherlands, such bad days occur, where everything just goes wrong, remember Euro 2000, where they played quite well in the group and then lost to the Dutch? Of course you do :-). Even Ukraine seemed like "patzers", but I'm sure they will prove their worth in the next games. |
|
| Jun-17-06 | | EmperorAtahualpa: <TheAlchemist> Thanks! I'm surprised the article doesn't blame the defeat on the coach, nor on the players or the tactics adopted for this game... <remember Euro 2000, where they played quite well in the group and then lost to the Dutch? Of course you do :-).> Indeed...How could I ever forget such a 6-1 slaughtering? :) By the way, in that game I think the Serbians did try to fight until the end....otherwise Milosevic would have never scored that goal in the end! |

| | TheAlchemist: Maybe other sources blame the coach, I didn't check them out, as I don't know of other Serbian media, but I'd say it was a collective collapse, I've experienced a few of those too while playing basketball, there's simply nothing you as an individual can do, it's just not "meant to be", everything goes wrong. It says the players were non-existent, that pretty much sums up what was going on. |
|
| Jun-17-06 | | Chess Classics: I'm more of a Mitch Hedberg fan. He's more of a 2-liner guy. "My friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana. I said 'No, but I want a regular banana later, so... yeah." "I like sandwiches man, who doesn't, but I don't like sandwiches in New York delis, too much meat on the sandwich. It's like a cow, with a cracker on either side. 'What would you like sir?' 'A pastramni sandwich' 'Anything else?' 'Yeah, a loaf of bread and some other people.'" "I want to be a race car passenger: just a guy who bugs the driver. Say man, can I turn on the radio? You should slow down. Why do we gotta keep going in circles? Can I put my feet out the window? Man, you really like Tide..." "On a traffic light green means go and yellow means yield, but on a banana it's just the opposite. Green means hold on, yellow means go ahead, and red means where the hell did you get that banana at..." Regards,
