  Check It Out: I keep reading his name as George Carlin. And if he stays on as player of the day i might post some GC videos.

  perfidious: <CIO>, that is understandable.

One suspects he shall remain POTD, so a blizzard of such activity may be forthcoming.

When <I> see his name I think of <carnelian>.

I use the crystal carnelian to guard against falling masonry and accidents with tools. It guards my home against theft, fire, storm, or accident.

May-07-25  Nosnibor: Why is he forever player of the day?

  Sally Simpson: George-Catalin Ardelean was Captain George-Catalin Ardelean of the Romanian team in the 2016 Olympiad https://archive.chess-results.com/t...

So today he is Captain of the day.

Tomorrow it is Horacio Nelson Alvarez Villar The day after that it is James Kirk the day after that...
