 | | Domdaniel: It may look weird, but 'hai' (or 'haifisch') is really the German for 'shark'. And I think <whiteshark> himself used <weisse hai> before I did... Hej hej |
|

| | Domdaniel: <Jess> And, speaking of German, the very brief tiff with my friend <twinlark> may not have been due to the word 'dog'. I think I said 'scheissvogel'. Which is stronger. But we made up. I'm trying to imagine what went on at top-level (almost said high-level) Axis meetings during World War 2. Enter General Tojo and Ubergruppenfuhrer Springer.
Tojo: Hai!
Springer: Gute ... ah ... morgen. Shark-fish, yes? You vant submarine? usw.
Oh gawd, subs again, this forum is turning into a phobic's nightmare... "Captain. The alien submarine seems to be manned by slugs. That is, slugged by slugs. Sir." There, I've said it. |

Duh! Brilliant, Jess, brilliant. GOL.

| May-11-07 | | whiteshark: Belated
May I ask for a kabalistic number for <npp>,pls?
No? I see!
btw late <EJ Diemer> [2nd place in cg sac stats] had similar (diffuse) approach to numbers. Name-number-meaning-your future.
But be careful when testing, might be very 'bizarre'. ...http://www.emil-joseph-diemer.de/so... Thanks! |

Nice balloon btw |

| | jessicafischerqueen: <animal with teeth for skin and organic receptors that can detect the electomagnetic field of both sentient and non-senient objects in the water> no, no, no it's not good to encourage <Dom> with his "numbers" We had to haul him out of a numerologist salon once, or he'd be broke by now!! Let's just try to avoid another "intervention" for the moment. Jess of the Worrywarts |

| May-11-07 | | Tomlinsky: It is rather nice how the Germans sit down for a game of chess with a pair of slippers. |
|
May-11-07
| | jessicafischerqueen: <Tomlinsky> what a quaint, and heart warming comment!! Brings gentle images of <Alekhine> to mind, relaxing and thinking (just how many times CAN he chase my King Knight around? I think I'll find out...) Very good, very good.
Many think only of Poland 1939 when they imagine Germans. yes, they RELAX and play chess in slippers!!
Bravo, Bravo.

| | jessicafischerqueen: OOps even though <Alekhine> was born in France? Maybe he never even went to Germany.
KK never mind then.
Jess of the confused even though she read about <Alekhine> last night for cripe sake. |

| | jessicafischerqueen: Pardon me if my GOOGLE boycott makes me appear stupid. but I'm just practicing for when the world power grid fails, so I don't look "out of place" when EVERYONE has to rely on their memories and "books" if they still make them things. Jess of the Dark Ages |
|
| May-11-07 | | Eyal: Er - Alekhine was born in Russia; he later became a citizen of France. He did spend some quality time in Germany, though, as a prisoner of war during WW1. |

| | jessicafischerqueen: AH! So I was one-third correct, except in terms of sense and meaning, in which case I was totally incorrect. Jess of the Logic and Math dept.
Did they give them <slippers and chessmen> in the POW camps? |

| | jessicafischerqueen: <Dom> vice vs. virtue. No idea mate.
But you reminded me of <Tacitus'> clever comment about <Tiberius>, that he was "easily tempted to virtue". LOL
If it's <Suetonius>, <Eyal> I don't want to hear about it. I figure I read both books and if they didn't want people to get confused they would have picked different subjects. Insane oldee
whoops what a giveaway

| May-11-07 | | Tomlinsky: Have you noticed that politicians ears get bigger the longer they stay in the game? It's wierd. I swear, Blair has only finally decided to pack it in because of the imminent fear of spontaneously transforming into a hang-glider. Christ, if Prince Charles had been a politician the UK would have had a Mars orbiter way before anyone else had even thought of the idea. |

| | jessicafischerqueen: From <John Stewart Show> last night: <The Blair Ditch Project> LOL!
At least he still looks better than the Queen... miserable old bag. Jess the Royalist |

| | Domdaniel: Hmm. Rather a lot to absorb here. While I'm absorbing it, I'll answer the first question: <Perhaps dom might one day tell us what happened *the other time* he took a second drink > Easy. I came up with a brilliant Duchampesque strategy whereby all drinks, ever -- and even certain nondrinks if necessary -- were *redefined* as the first drink. So it's always first drink time in my universe, and I can't have more than one. Something similar happened when, as a child, I was dropped on my head. I immediately redesignated my cranium as a foot -- proving that I always land on my feet. "All things have other names
And will that change them?
And will that change them as I am changed?"

| | Domdaniel: <Frogspawn Quote of the Day> [from a review, in the Sunday Times Culture section, no less, of Kasparov's book 'How Life Imitates Chess'] "Perhaps the most practical advice is for would-be philanderers: one should never conceal the fact that one is married because (according to scientific studies, allegedly) women are more likely to be attracted to married men. I must remember to bear that in mind." Nigel Short, Sunday Times (UK), May 6 2007. |

| | Domdaniel: <Jess> - <If your voice is stolen, with what do you howl at the moon, Tom Thumb?> Heh. Now why did I never notice that?
Maybe it just scans better than <and she takes your ability to articulate consonants and leaves you making inchoate animal noises at the nearest large natural satellite of the Earth>? Now tell me what "You can pick one or the other though neither of them are to be what they claim" means. Andy Blob |
