 | | Domdaniel: <deffi> - <time to pop the champagne!> Is that what's in the waterfall? I thought it looked somewhat, well, *bubbly*. I don't believe in complimenting 'ladies' on their 'looks' (brains are a different story), so I'll say nowt else. |

R. Pollard & Phantom Tollbooth, 'The Cafe Interior' (2003). Happy bloody VD to the lot of yer. Hope yours is gut-wrenchingly miserable too. Be careful this 14 Feb; two years ago we almost had to shut up shop (Domdaniel chessforum). Perhaps that's why last year we stuck to the Pixies and, ugh, *chess*. Domdaniel chessforum |

I don't think so~!~ |

I feel like buying a chess product AND THEN FIRING IT OUT MY WINDOW WHEN IT COMES... Stinking end games.
Aptly named.
The end!!!

| | Domdaniel: <everyone else> is paranoid. Reminds me of an incident in Victorian England. Sherlock Holmes was indisposed after a major cocaine binge, and was unable to travel. But the Baskerville family needed a detective urgently, so Oscar Wilde went instead. Watson called it *The Case of the Wag Tailing the Dog*. |

| | Domdaniel: <Jess> I missed it. I've just been catching up with the game and the frequently hilarious kibbering (kibitzing + gibberish). A vipers' nest of ad hominembers. Almost makes one nostalgic for the hominterm. I believe I am turning into a Kurtz fan. Not being an idiot is actually a rare and valuable trait among humans. |

| | Domdaniel: <Henge> I do consistency inconsistently and I'm extremely moderate. "How Sweet to be an Idiot" ... I vaguely think that's a song by ex-Bonzo Dog Doodah Band member Neil Innes. If I'm wrong <mack> will have me drummed out of the Bonzos And Chess Kibbering Appreciation Secret Society aka BACKASS. Is there a 'Z' in Welsh? |

| Feb-17-09 | | mack: <"How Sweet to be an Idiot" ... I vaguely think that's a song by ex-Bonzo Dog Doodah Band member Neil Innes.> You're quite right. Amusingly Oasis ripped off the melody for 'Whatever' and got sued -- as a result Neil got a co-writer credit on reissues and probably a lot of royalty money. |

| | Domdaniel: Village idiots have a bad rep. I've *lived* in villages. You enter the village pub and the village idiot, the village moron, the village psychopath, the village sociopath, and the village cretin are sitting together, setting fire to their farts with blowtorches and giggling... Often it's actually the idiot who buys you a drink. It would be, though, wouldn't it? |

| | Domdaniel: Gone quiet, hasn't it? I should explain something ... I'm not in Bunratty with Svidler and the gang. Last week I decided to play but it was contingent on other factors - and over the last few days they accumulated to boiling point. Or the point where I had to weigh the potential gains and losses: Plus: six games of chess in the Challengers [1600-2000] section - where I might have theoretical overall winning chances, having won such events before, but in practice I'd probably come away with a sour taste from the one stupid loss that seems inevitable these days, usually in the last round. Is this negative thinking? It is. But I'm forced to this conclusion by comparing my 1970/80s results with recent ones. Back then, I either won critical last-round games, or drew on favorable terms. Now I seem so knackered by the last round that it makes no difference who I'm playing or where I stand in the table ... a big fat zero beckons. I can live with this in an open tournament - where I'm likely to get a couple of games against 2200+ players, and maybe a GM or two. But Bunratty, with everyone under 2000? That's a hiding to nothing. I still prefer to play with the big boys. In addition, I'd apparently promised to take somebody to the theatre this Saturday night - I get free tickets, so I'm a popular companion - and the play, ironically, is Sam Beckett's 'Endgame' which I'd kinda like to see again myself. "Me to play ..." And 'work' wants me to go see some 'art' on Saturday. So it came down to this: chessic punishment in a hotel 100km away, or Beckett, Vermeer, and some socializing. Guess which won. I'm still a chess addict. This time I didn't need the fix quite badly enough. Cork Open/'Masters' in March is definitely on, though. I can't go forever without a weekender ... |

| Feb-21-09 | | achieve: <Dom> Excellent choice, and good reasoning to back it up. However... Had you perchance already encountered this quote? It's a "gudwon", I think: “The passion for playing chess is one of the most unaccountable in the world. It slaps the theory of natural selection in the face. It is the most absorbing of occupations. The least satisfying of desires. A nameless excrescence upon life. It annihilates a man. You have, let us say, a promising politician, a rising artist that you wish to destroy. Dagger or bomb are archaic and unreliable - but teach him, inoculate him with chess.” --H.G. Wells |

| | Domdaniel: "You did, Jess, you did" ... a tad forgetful as well as semantically rapacious, eh? What a woman. You were in the Zone when you 'created' *her*, huh? Or created *She*, if youse prefer "And Gog Created Woman ... Magog, feeling left out, went on a spate of creating and came up with armadillos, eyeball worms, intestinal flora, thermal vent sulfur vultures, and rodent fag hags. Come Armageddon, they'll all join up against Woman, and win. But the extinction of the yooman race will be averted by one of my distant kin, one of the *Dundaniels* of Dundaniel Castle on the Bandon River. His collection of frozen embryos and embroidery and such will lead to the renaissance of humanity. You can stop him now by sending all the world's pollution & toxic religion into the future by express courier. I'd volunteer myself, but I'm needed urgently in ye past. |
