WannaBe: Dang, M. Tomlin's got some eye-bags, he needs to have a seriously long vacation. And Houston have just scored, so this game is pretty much decided with 3:38 left (24-6 Texans ahead)

WannaBe: So, the Tata Steel blitz were held in India, and players have 6 days to fly to NED for the next (or 2026 first) major event... What is the flight path? Here are some ideas: https://www.flightroutes.com/CCU-AMS

WannaBe: <OCF> Not to mention when TV stations switch red (dem) and blue (rep) to what we know today... On a similar note, in Asia, if the stock shows red, it mean up, green, means down. Go fig.

  WannaBe: Sportsbooks took a (little) hit over the weekend, but somehow I expect them to keep the lights on and betting windows open.

this exploit is amazing...

Oct-26-16  Abdel Irada: ∞

<I think I saw the documentary on this, Otto Pilot had to take over....>

This reminds me of when I once tried to carpool to work.

On the first day, my ride didn't show up, so I called him. But he had a thick German accent and knew very little English.

When I asked him what happened, all he did was keep repeating his name: "Otto das Entwerk."

Oct-26-16  TheFocus: <Abdel> <When I asked him what happened, all he did was keep repeating his name: "Otto das Entwerk.">

At least you knew enough German to understand his name.

  WannaBe: Found this "new" show called Black Mirror from UK. All I have to say is <WOW>, <WOW>!!

(Episode one of season one is blah...)

Saw all 3 of season 1 and the "Christmas Special" <-- Really, really, really good!

After tonight's baseball game, think I'll watch 3 episodes of season 2. Did I say this show is good? Especially the "Christmas Special"?! =))

  WannaBe: Raiders' defence are really helping TB by committing a bunch of penalties. Ugh.
Oct-30-16
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: Despite some terrible plays, Raiders only down 7 at half time to TB.
Oct-30-16
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: Much better for Raiders in the second half, scored two touchdowns, and have 17-10 lead now.

  WannaBe: OT win for Raiders! TB called a blitz and left the field open!!!! Wow.

  WannaBe: Saw "Black Mirror" Season 2, episode 2, entitled 'White Bear'.

Sadistic, just plain brutal. If that method of punishment ever get implemented.

'The Waldo Moment' blah, I can kinda see it happening, but voting for a cartoon character who may have the manner of Trump? No.

(Side note, season 2 of B.M. was 2013, even before US election and Trump...)

  WannaBe: Alright, I'm done procrastinating, I'm going to fill in my ballot and get it in the mail tomorrow in time for Tuesday.

Actually, as long as it's postmarked on the 8th and counted before 16th it would still be OK.

President:

A. Johnson
A. Lincoln

I'm already confused...

Nov-04-16  Boomie: What? No Calvin Coolidge? Having a candidate that kept his mouth shut would be such a relief.
Nov-04-16
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: <Boomie> Oh, yes. "Silent Cal", rumours have it that one time, at a White House party, a lovely lady walked up to President Coolidge and said:

"That gentleman over there from [some state] wagered [$5] that I can get to say three words"

President Coolidge said:

"You lose."

Don't know if this absolute true, or just a 'good story'.
