 | | Domdaniel: <After reading that I laughed so hard that milk came out my nose...and I wasn't even drinking milk!> Excellent. And to think that some people still say LOL. Yeuch. <and I wasn't even drinking milk!> This is interesting. Perhaps you drank milk at some stage in the past? Many people do, not realizing it is a notorious 'gateway drug'. Addicts of all persuasions are known to begin with milk. Temporal nasal milk displacement can occur for many years afterwards -- a sort of lactic acid trip. It's not usually dangerous, for mammals. Of course sharks aren't mammals... |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: <Sharks don't eat milk> for Cripe sake, they eat there own young!! If they can get ahold of them, that is.
Now someone explain the evolutionary "logic" of that to me. <Dom> not to worry, mate, you're in fine form humor-wise. More lofty treateseses on <FRoggic subnets> are sure to wallow soon. |

| | jessicafischerqueen: <Bruce Pandolfini> was just teaching me about White's third move choices in <French Open> on <chessmaster>. I'm wondering if <Roger Federer> could do such a good job!! Probly not. I like <Bruce> cuz he uses big, big words. In fact, I'd say <Josh and Bruce> are the Dog's Nuts of Chess Tutors! |

| | jessicafischerqueen: ack! i just faced the <double ignominimininy> of having my "cap lock" quotient filled and yelled at to stop "flooding" your forum at the same time. I'm so ashamed!!
Or I would be if I had any. |

| Jun-10-07 | | Eyal: <Tal was a very handsome man.> In his youth it seems that he actually was (User: whatthefat) - in the late 80s, however, he looked like a rather weird clown (User: shr0pshire) |
|
| Jun-10-07 | | twinlark: I thought he looked like a middle aged man with health problems: http://www.ajedrezdeataque.com/04%2... |
|
| Jun-10-07 | | Eyal: Yeah, the man had a lot of unfortunate health problems which took their toll over the years. That image of him which <shr0pshire> uses as an avatar just strikes me as rather eerie. |
|
| Jun-10-07 | | mack: <In his youth it seems that he actually was> Oh, I wasn't being facetious - Tal was dashing in a very Anthony Eden type way. Can't think of a more attractive world chess champion, actually. |
|
| Jun-10-07 | | WBP: <Mack> <Can't think of a more attractive world chess champion, actually> Steinitz? <Dom> <Eyal> <<Mother of all typos>> <<typos> How about the following one from Bill's profile:
<I layed M. Tal in a simultaneous exhibition at the Marshall Chess Club on March 9 (Fischer's birthday)in the mid-1980s>> See, the point is that I work very hard to give my typos unintentional meanings. And yes, <Dom>, though <It seems that these humans have one-track minds, but only their fingers are consciously aware of it> is no doubt true, in my case, I carefully and willfully select those words which, if misspelled, become a source of subverting decent discourse. A fly in the ointment, so to spook. I intend to elaborate on all this in my upcoming book, My Sixty Memorable Typos. |
|
| Jun-10-07 | | mack: <typos>
In my local Costcutter the other day they had a big sign proudly announcing their latest offers. One such offer was 'Two pots of cream for £11.' I presume it was a typo, anyway. |

| | Domdaniel: Did anyone else notice that the Cumbric sheep-count -- dick mether-tan-bumfit, et al -- which I lifted from an *extremely* scholarly linguistic source and was in no way obscene -- seems to have been vanished. So maybe it was a tad suggestive: it was still <real>. Looks like I'm still under close observation, o my tadpoles. And they keep a close watch, when a chap can't even count to twenty in pidgin celtic. Whiteshark will know what I mean. I hope this act of witnessing does not put you in any danger, <Hai>. |

| | Domdaniel: <can't think of a more attractive world champion actually> Maya Chiburdanidze? [female persuasion]
Vera Menchik? [persuasion]
Um ... Tony Miles? Among other, ah, well, *juniors*.
And what was it again that Jessica said about Kasparov, beds, and not throwing one out of the other? Something that caused a mighty stirring in the Kurtzian breasts, by all accounts. As you may have noticed by now, people, when threatened with deletion I go cryptic. Be prepared for random gibberish. |

| | Domdaniel: <Bill> -- <work very hard>
This I believe. I noticed some time ago that your other identities did not seem inflicted with spelling blight. Ergo, a clever construct. Waiting for us to notice, often disappointed. A bit like Richard Nixon in Altman's Secret Honor -- a great patriot, consciously sacrificing himself and his reputation on the altar of Watergate, knowing that this is the only way to save America from the machinations of Those Who Own Him, aka The Orange Grove Gang. Knowing he will be reviled by posterity, but accepting his fate as a <secret honor>. Of course he also says, while drunkenly waving a gun at a portrait of T. Jefferson, "Founding fathers? The founding fathers was a bunch of English pricks." But that's neither here nor there. |

| | Domdaniel: <Jess> This Bruce Pandolfini guy ... I thought The Sopranos had finally ended? |
|
| Jun-10-07 | | mack: <Maya Chiburdanidze?> Cheat.
And anyway, I think Tal still probably nudges it.
Aargh, I've brought <Frogspawn> down even further. Never mind, it's only once you've used the word 'fit' that there's need to worry. I'd *never* throw a bed out of Kasparov.
By the way, a long time back now we were talking about Danny Baker, and jess asked me exactly who he was. I think I just about managed to get there, but I think the following link does the job far better. This is his All Day Breakfast Show 'podcast', which has him at his rawest: just chatting about nonsense without any annoying BBC London bumpers in between. A bit like this place, really. I'd start with 'Bricks, Buffalo Wings, Tan-ZAYN-ia, Floss and Carpenter'. http://dannybaker.wippit.com/4th-8t... Dry rubbish shot here!

| | Domdaniel: There's something so consciously and arrogantly clumsy about totalitarian systems. "We'll snap this, so, like a twig ... and we'll erase this text ... but it doesn't matter if traces remain. A little reminder of our power." Bah. Do I have to go back to tradecraft and samizdatabases at my advanced age? |

| Jun-10-07 | | whiteshark: Dom, what do Amish Comp Ops know abt Brythonic langu ?
(Yan-Yan)! |
|
| Jun-10-07 | | whiteshark: Don't worry, <Hai> knows about <the perils of the sea>. Lloyd's insures vessels and platforms but no shakrs. |
|
| Jun-10-07 | | whiteshark: I once did some research about <4th Reich>, reaching an 'obscure site', which offered a download. By trying it, my internet-connection crashed. My provider needs 5 days to <rearrange it manually>. walleye, be cautious ! |

| | Domdaniel: <Hai> Ist Klar. Amish, eh? I had 'em down as scientologists out of Sea Org Central in Florida. testing: yan, tan, tether, mether, dick.

I think typing "test, test" is begging misfortune.
Remember what happened?

| | jessicafischerqueen: <Dom> I spent a good while in the local used bookstore today. Would you believe it? I live in a small farm community 70 kilometres away from the nearest <chess club>, and there were scads of <chess books> in stock. After carefully looking at them, I bought <Chess Praxis> cuz you always go on about it. So I'm trusting YOU that playing through all them variations etc. in the book will help my chess. Or help me become a <Saint>.
Either way...
And I got <Horowitz> <Complete Book of Chess and Angling>, because it is so strange. It has funny and weird chess history tidbits (a lot of them) and right in the middle of the book there is a section comprised only of hundreds of <tactics problems>. What a wonderfully disorganized idea for a "bok"!!
I await your comments remonstrations endorsements.

| | jessicafischerqueen: Who would have guessed that in <Buttwhack, BC> that you could find this in a used bookstore: Books on: the <Pelikan Sicilian>, <Richter-Schnauser>, <QGA>, <Bogo-Indian>, and even the <Lopez on Rye>. Chess lives!! (at least in used bookstores). I don't like paying "full price". My last boyfriend was "used," for example, when I got him. Just saying. |
