I wonder... could this be the same case as <Man critical after bus backs into him> ?? |

| Apr-29-07 | | whiteshark: Die "Froschlaich"-Bibliographie wäre nicht vollständig, wenn Toni Ungerer's vor circa dreißig Jaren erschienes Buch <Kamasutra der Frösche> nicht Erwähnung darin finden würde.
Toni liebt Tiere, Kinder und Frauen und er hat eine eigene, zuweilen sicherlich eigenwillige Betrachtungsweise der Dinge, die er malt und zeichnet. Vielleicht ist das der Grund, warum seine Bücher in den Vereingten Staaten seit fünfzig Jahren verboten sind.
Letztes Jahr wurde Toni 75 Jahre alt und hatte drei Herzinfakte. Vermutlich bleibt er uns auch zukünftig weit voraus. ---
<Dom>, dies wird auf absehbare Zeit meine letzte <Froschlaich> Nachricht in Deinem Forum sein. In der obigen Art denke und schreibe ich, aber eben nur in meiner Muttersprache. Das mit seinem vollen Sinngehalt zu übersetzten kann ich nicht - Abstriche davon zu machen will und werde ich nicht hier mehr. Alles Gute für Dich und Deine Seite,
Hochactungsvoll

| | Domdaniel: <m> Thought you might have found JB by now... I had a quick look earlier for a copy I thought I might have had once, but all is chaos in there... Never got to the Cheffe Clubbe, either. Other matters intervened. As they do. |

Deiner Muttersprache Deutsch ist?
Hmm. I refuse to let computers attempt a translation until I've failed myself. But I know where T. Ungerer lives. I think. Weisse, weisse fisch ... but are you <Haifisch> or <Gauner>? Not <Hammerkopf>, surely? Froschmann |

| | Domdaniel: <Whiteshark> I pretty much got the meaning of your message, then I ran it through one of the online translators anyway. It came up with the following gibberish, which is typical of these stupid machines: <<Dom>, this will be in the foreseeable future my last <Froschlaich> message in your forum. In the above kind and write I think, but evenly only in my native language. With its full sense content to translated I can make non of reductions of it want and will I not here for more. All property for you and your side, High-act-fully White shark> I know Ungerer's work. A friend of mine made a film about him. And - as far as I know - he has a hide-out in Ireland, not far from here. But I haven't met him. Apart from that ... why stop? It's getting interesting, nicht wahr? Hai Hai. |

| Apr-30-07 | | achieve: Hey <Dom>. Pity you couldn't get to the Cheffe Clubbe last Friday. Me didn't go neither, for the warm weather and a Friday afternoon and night on the town, previewing the summer wear for this season, won it over sweating it out in a flat-roofed, crowded appartment. Your page count has reached its maximum I hate to say. Just heard it from Dennis Taylor on the BBC.. Dontcha know.. Hope all's well.

| Apr-30-07 | | WBP: <Dom> Hope you're doing well. Have to agree with <Niles> <the warm weather and a Friday afternoon and night on the town, previewing the summer wear for this season, won it over sweating it out in a flat-roofed, crowded appartment.> We had a particularly bad winter here, and the days are now becoming truly gorgeous. But my drive into the mountains the other day almost proved (literally) fatal. A rather nasty storm came in quickly--with lots of sleet. Going around a mountainside curve, I started to skid--went swerving off the road onto a lookout spot that had no guard rails and came within about five feet of falling off--a good 50-60 foot drop! Ah, yes. The solace and succor of the mountains! |

| | Domdaniel: <achieve> A maximum 147! Cheers... don't I win a car, or a jet, or a small country, or something? Or does it have to be performed live on TV while wearing a gentlemanly costume? Afraid I don't quite qualify on the costume grounds. Snooker in a leather jacket and no tie? Criminal. Snooker, however, may be the only TV 'sport' worth watching.

| | Domdaniel: <WBP> Mountains, eh? Yes, we're all familiar with mountains, aren't we? And could even deliver a lecture on their historical shift from hideous wildnerness via sublime splendour to tourist attractions. Then it occurs to me I've never actually seen a 12,000-ft peak in real life, or flown anywhere near one. Not many in Western Yurp, apart from the odd Alp. And most of the places I go - Ireland, Holland, Denmark, etc - are distinctly flat. Must be a Lowland Frog Thing. |

| | Domdaniel: <Jess> Du calme, du calme, Du Champ... no need for systematic panic yet, the paranometer is still barely flickering. OK, so maybe a post or two got 'disappeared' ... it doesn't seem conclusive. No pattern emerges. Therefore, nothing to worry about. Admittedly my prediction record in these matters is woeful, and my guesstimates as to the actual location of The Line That May Not Be Crossed tend to be a long way out... so, er, don't listen to me. But <du calme> anyhow. It seems like a rational response to just about anything. Du Champignon

| | Domdaniel: <WBP> Driving over the mountains at speed in search of the American dream, wrestling with literature and politics and death, recoiling savagely from bruising contacts with lesser minds and throwing yourself into mortal danger on the rebound ... no doubt now. You are the Hunter Thompson of this forum, Doc, albeit more alive. |

| | Domdaniel: “Mistah Kurtz – he has been hauled before the FIDE ethics committee” … doesn’t have quite the same ring to it, does it?
Frogspawn would like to know why GMNS made his alleged allegations (about Azmaiparashvili and Makropoulos – see http://www.chesscenter.com/twic/eve...) in American rather than in the Queen’s English: <”It came as absolutely no surprise to me that these dumbheads would flunk the first crisis they were presented with…”> Should this not be …
“I was unsurprised to see these imbeciles fall at the first fence”? Will GMNS take up baseball next?

| Apr-30-07 | | Knightlord: Who is GMNS? It can't be GrandMaster Nigel Short, that's way too obvious. |

Islands are for sale these days if you carry some kind of insane amount of crooked cash. I realised that maximums can easily be followed by tons as in centuries --
so..
So what indeed..

Btw My dad and I used to force the family into watching Alex Higgins and Ray Reardon in the late 70's as I was a little boy.. The addiction to the green baize has originated from that time in which we were watching through aiming our antenna depending the weather, and get some signals from the BBC back then. Still captured by that geometric game ever since. |

| Apr-30-07 | | Knightlord: <achieve> You're talking about snooker on page 147? Are you a freemason? Creepy forum this is... |
|
| Apr-30-07 | | achieve: <Knightlord: <achieve> You're talking about snooker on page 147?> Yeah, this forum is 'beyond' creepy, Knightlord, it is free.. As you were. |
|
Apr-30-07
| | Domdaniel: <Knightlord> Admittedly we try to avoid *doing* the obvious ... but sometimes we kinda inherit the obvious and just go with the flow... as in Kurtz's case, sorry, GMNS. |

Apr-30-07
| | Domdaniel: Hey, hey, hey. Relax, guys. We're talking about snooker *because* it's page 147. And the World Crucibles are on. And we're snooker fans. See? Simple explanations all round.

| | Domdaniel: <mack> I like the character sketches from Prokofiev's diary ... Alekhine with his "pinched lawyer's face" ... Marshall, "typical yankee" with "a touch of Sherlock Holmes" ... Tarrasch with his "Kaiser Wilhelm moustache" and Nimzo - "The combative vegetarian Nimzowitsch, a typical German student and trouble-maker". The great tradition of vegetarian troublemakers, from Pythagoras to Nimzo ... and so forth. |
