| Jun-13-07 | | mack: FROGSPAWN THEORY UPDATE
This evening I won a game (as black) with
1.b3 e5 2.Bb2 Qe7¿¡
Take this diagram, stick it in yer pocket:
click for larger viewPlay continued something like
3.e3 d6 4.c4 Nc6 5.Be2 g6 6.d4 Bg7 7.d5 Nd8 8.Nd2 f5 9.Nf3 Nf6 10.Qc2 c5 11.Nf1 Bd7 12.h4 h5 13.0-0-0 Ng4 
click for larger viewand black went on to win. The above is sloppy, incoherent and dull, but I don't care. I'm claiming it as my own and it needs a name. At the moment I'm thinking about the Jackson-Livingstone Defence. cf. Canadian speciality 'the Incredible Defence': D Bailey vs L Day, 1988 |

| Jun-13-07 | | achieve: <Dom> <I don't know. An eidetic-Jessican memory, maybe? (but 'diaeld'? hmm...)> Yes, dear Dom, my sense of wordplay has no limits - Die-a-led or dialed? It will remain in the dark until I have googled it (and sobered up), which I refuse to do. The thing is that I know of course a lot of English words by "hearing" them on telly or any other medium (plus I had 2 girlfriends I spoke English with) - but never seen them written down. (everything is subtitled here) In fact, more than 20% of my (written) vocabulary I have picked up here at CGs from the likes of you and Jess etc. <Ragh><Dom> I think my telephone number memory has to do with auditory memory as well -- After saying the first 3 digits, the others follow in a distinct rythm. But there is also a photographic element to it, simply because I've written it down once or twice. But phonenumbers seem to "stick" very easily.. (limited number of digits) 1,3,7,9,101,103,107,109,191,193,197,199 etc.
Fascinating innit? (innit is another stolen word I may use from now on in) <<4-prime decades>, or double twin primes like (101, 103, 107, 109) and 190-97 ... these aren't very common, and get scarcer as the numbers get bigger. But I've seen some 'large' sets.> Really? Like in the thousends? I'm sure they must re-occur at some point but I'm not sure *why* I am sure, seriously. Alrighty, see you crazy (spamming spree - Jess, chessm) bastards later! heheh |
|
| Jun-13-07 | | achieve: <(plus I had 2 girlfriends I spoke English with)> For keeping a clear conscience, I have to addmitt that I have had only four girlfriends, two of which I spoke English with. <Jess>-<Heh. <Niels> you figured out that <Mannbees> puzzle had a number wrong. But I accidentally guessed the right answer. I'm so proud!! And it was a random guess, too.> Rightfully so!! Be proud! It is not a daily occurrance that I am in the company of sheer genius! 58!! You nailed it! (Slam Bamm thank you Mam)

<achieve> We do realize that Dom has his own lexicon of words, created by himself but are seldom in popular usage. What if these words crept into our vocabulary, or better yet the one published by Oxford University press. |

But I've seen some 'large' sets.> The last statement makes me wonder if it was intended to give an 'innuendish' treatment to the sentence by putting the word 'large' inside quotes ;) |
|
| Jun-13-07 | | achieve: <We do realize that Dom has his own lexicon of words, created by himself but are seldom in popular usage. What if these words crept into our vocabulary, or better yet the one published by Oxford University press.> That is only partly true -- and if so, what is the problem? Plus the chances of that happening are relatively small, in comparison.. |
|
| Jun-13-07 | | Ragh: <whiteshark> Let me know how things went over the weekend after your tussle with those 4th and 5th order magic squares. |
|
| Jun-13-07 | | achieve: <But I've seen some 'large' sets.> Well spotted <Ragh> Say it! Say it loud!! Say it proud!!! |
|
| Jun-13-07 | | Ragh: <achieve> Nothing wrong. As you might know, lots of new words enter into the Oxford dictionary every year. <Dom> If one of your home-cooked words happened to have that privilege, please let us know by posting the news here. (seriously. I'm not being sarcastic.) |

| | Domdaniel: <at large> Close, but no cigar. I put 'large' in quotes because there is no such thing as a large number (except from a narrow subjective human perspective, where anything larger than 23 is scary). In mathematical terms, for any given number -- even a gazillion to the power of a googolplex -- there are a finite number of smaller integers but an infinite quantity of larger ones. Therefore all numbers - however big - are small. This is maths, but it also qualifies as 'Pataphysics -- the science of laws governing exceptions. <Ragh> I don't think I've infiltrated an actual dictionary yet, apart from some weird online ones designed for lunatics. Maybe if I wrote a book and called it Zapkinder ... and used all you people as characters ... Hmm. |

| | Domdaniel: <Hai> Thanks for the Rory Gallagher tribute. Despite living in his hometown, which has a statue and a Rory Gallagher Square (and the other things they do once somebody is safely dead) -- I never saw him play live. |

| | Domdaniel: <mack> The Entropy Defence? It seems to have a whiff of 'pawns are the entropy of chess' about it, if I say so myself. Or maybe The Stick-it-up-your-Larsen. |

<Therefore all numbers - however big - are small.> Hey! That's NOT what they said on <Sesame Street>!! Did those poxy puppets lie to me?
<the Count>
Good thing my "o" is typing in properly. Get it? My "t" keeps sticking. But not the "o". ypographical humor. |

How very quaint. |
|
| Jun-14-07 | | whiteshark: <mack> How quaint are the ways of paradox... |

| Jun-14-07 | | mack: <whiteshark> Are you a little boy of five, perchance? |

| | jessicafischerqueen: <Mack> come on, man. Don't you think <The Count> sans the correct letter would make a great name for a character in a <British Gangster Flick>? Tell me I'm wrong!! |
|
Jun-14-07
| | jessicafischerqueen: <Mack> or this line from <Shaun of the Dead>, the fine <British Zombie Film>. "Do any of you Counts want a drink?"
Heh |
|
| Jun-14-07 | | mack: <Tell me I'm wrong!!> You're wrong. I don't think that 'He-Count', a ghastly cross between this guy: http://www.tvcrazy.net/tvclassics/w... and this guy:
http://www.liu.edu/cwis/CWP/library... would make a very good gangster film character at all. |
|
| Jun-14-07 | | mack: <jess>
I don't like that line in Shaun of the Dead, because it is *exactly* what I use to say to my chums in the pub. If I said it now, people would assume I was nicking stuff from slightly-above-average comedy films. |
