   Jan-06-19 G McCarthy vs M Kennefick, 1977 (replies)
 
Domdaniel: Maurice Kennefick died over the new year, 2018-2019. RIP. It was many years since I spoke to him. He gave up chess, I reckon, towards the end of the 80s, though even after that he was sometimes lured out for club games. I still regard this game, even after so many years, as the ...

Domdaniel: Kennefick died over the 2018-19 New Year. Formerly one of the strongest players in Ireland, he was the first winner of the Mulcahy tournament, held in honour of E.N. Mulcahy, a former Irish champion who died in a plane crash. I played Kennefick just once, and had a freakish win, ...

Domdaniel: <NBZ> -- Thanks, NBZ. Enjoy your chortle. Apropos nothing in particular, did you know that the word 'chortle' was coined by Lewis Carroll, author of 'Alice in Wonderland'? I once edited a magazine called Alice, so I can claim a connection. 'Chortle' requires the jamming ...

Domdaniel: <al wazir> - It's not easy to go back through past Holiday Present Hunts and discover useful information. Very few people have played regularly over the years -- even the players who are acknowledged as best, <SwitchingQuylthulg> and <MostlyAverageJoe> have now ...

Domdaniel: Moral: if you haven't encountered it before, take it seriously. Remember Miles beating Karpov with 1...a6 at Skara. Many so-called 'irregular' openings are quite playable.

Domdaniel: <HMM> - Heh, well, yes. I also remembered that Chuck Berry had a hit with 'My Ding-a-ling' in the 1970s. I'm not sure which is saddest -- that the author of Johnny B. Goode and Memphis Tennessee and Teenage Wedding - among other short masterpieces - should sink to such ...

  Domdaniel: <Deffi> In the summer of 1978, I saw a crap band of post-punk popsters with a shouty exhibitionist singer at an outdoors gig in Trinity College Dublin.

My life up to that moment could be described as Pre-Bono. However, I've been much the same ever since. Definitely no satori.

Jun-21-09  twinlark: <Dom>

Back to mathematicitis:

If you've <been much the same ever since>,

then does Pre Bono = Con Bono?

<If so>, is that a conbonation?

<Also>, if a Bonobo could con Bono, would it be pro bono? Or simply a case of an imp chimp crimping a limp wimp?

  Domdaniel: If a Bonobo could (heh) con Bono, the said mini-chimp would be a good, high & handsome example of the primates of Francophone Africa.

A <Bon haut beau>, in other words.

Thanks so much for the testimony you left about me in my house.

Thanks to you, I expect to be fully exonerated.

Sadly, and ironically, of course, EXXON was *not* in fact exonerated for the Valdez oil disaster.

I believe they were fined a hapenny, if I'm not mistaken.

Carbon? I like carbon. I'm made out of it.

Bloody liberal whiners, believing in actual bona fide scientfic data and such.

Oh what sorry times we live in when men can say "nit" to me in the street...

Only a twin of <Frank Muir> could have composed that.

Back at the raunch:

<the classic Aussie male requires about a week in violently boiling brine, with added sulfuric acid just in case>

This is a common wart remedy, removing all warts great and small. Including the classic Aussie male.

Now it must be known that Aussie gourmet cooking is famed for its oxymorality. Hence the application of this classic wart remedy as Aussie cordon bleu is entirely consistent with the national psyche, and entirely inconsistent with planetary coexistence.

Which is why, seeing the shape of things to come, Gondwanaland and Pangaea seceded from Australia:

<mathematicitis>:

<classic wart remedy> = <Aussie cordon bleu> -> <cordon sanitaire>

Bad news <Dom>!

Some cheeky beggars have stolen the new name of your forum.

Worse, they are begging for money and gifts.

Really! How crass to have the Paypal link and an Amazon Wish List link on the phront page of your phrontistery.

I WOULD NEVER READ A WORD OF SUCH A CRASS INSTITUTION!!!

read it and weep- literally:

  Domdaniel: <Jess> You know what, well, *drunks* are like? All *id* and no *trousers*? When I travel by train, sometimes I'm unlucky enough to meet a crowd of drunks, who shout 'friendly' names at me. Varying from "Hey, it's John Cooper Clarke" to "Look - Michael Jackson!". And an occasional tired'n'emotional OAP going "Hey Daddy-o, Hank Marvin & the Shadows!"

Yesterday I had a new experience. One of the vermin shouted "Bob Geldof!" at me, and "Bob Geldof's daughters!" at the young women sitting opposite.

I think it was really a daughters thing, and I was playing a bit part. But, even so ... maybe I could use a haircut?

I mean, Geldof? Gimme yer fookin money or Africans will die and my progeny will have silly names! And become celebs, unlike the Africans!

To the manor born. Same as it ever was.

  Open Defence: If ya need to boil an Aussie, how do ya cook a Kiwi ?
Jun-22-09  twinlark:

1. Cook kiwi in a large pot along with a large iron anvil

2. Wait until the iron softens

3. Throw away the kiwi

4. Eat the anvil.

Jun-22-09  mack: <But, even so ... maybe I could use a haircut?>

Naaaaah. Short hair is for men who think they're real men. Short hair is for men who think that there's such a thing as real men. I haven't had mine cut since we last met, and as you'll remember it wasn't particularly short then. In fact, real-world trich-truth no.2 for the day: I've never *paid* to have my haircut, and I'm in far too deep now to ever change my ways.

Ho hum. Hair today, hair tomorrow.

<The Ladies Men's Home Journal>

Advises....

"Men should avoid Barbers and above all Hair Stylists"

"Best results are achieved by letting one's hair grow and never using conditioner. Eventually the strands will become so long, dry, and brittle, they will break off of their own accord.

In this fashion, the man will both save money and avoid risk of being labeled a 'poof' for visiting a 'salon'."

Jun-23-09  everyone else: <Domdaniel:...We are most of us bits of an oxymoron. The difference is that <Jess> is an *Oxy* but <<<everyone else>>> is a *moron* ...>

HEY!

You better watch it buster

Jun-23-09  Trigonometrist: That post by <everyone else> has to go to Memorable Quotes forum...

I'm on it people...

Premium Chessgames Member
  jessicafischerqueen: My dear <Trig>-

You do realize that if you put a post by everyone else in to the Memorable Goat forum, that would mean everyone EXCEPT <User: everyone else>?

This could be further complicated by the fact that there is also a <User: everyone> around.

And he has an uncanny knack for popping up whenever his name is mentioned...

Jun-23-09  Trigonometrist: Yep <Jess> I expected that post from you so I specialy mentioned <a> singular post from a user...

A gentleman with tang and tan I am...A tan<gent>....

  Domdaniel: <mack> So you'll be the longhair next time around? You can be the Chinese Uncle too, if you like.

As it happens, I personally hacked off large amounts of my foliage a few days ago. Visually, it doesn't seem to have made a great amount of difference. More hacking may be required.

There's also a plan to replace the antediluvian retro-shades with 21st century spectacles. I tried this once before, but they broke. Still, I aspire to *banker drag*, especially now that bankers come between smack dealers and journalists in the social pecking order ...

  jessicafischerqueen: <Trig> you are always one step ahead of me!!

Makes me feel like a Chinese woman from the Tang dynasty.

An important historical epoch in which "Space Orange Juice" was invented by <Marco Polo>, unless I'm mistaken.

<Dom> Have you checked out <Deffi's> forum recently?

Unfortunately, a few punters are bandying about the idea of sacrificing you to the <Moon Goddess> again...

Just thought I'd give you a "heads up" before you ended up with a "heads off."

Jun-24-09  Trigonometrist:

<a few punters are bandying about the idea of sacrificing you to the <Moon Goddess> again> Oh..I'm sorry they're actually searching for me...

I just happened to infuriate them the other day with a couple of cosecants and three dimensional cycloids...

I expected that and I managed to escape unscathed...Now I'm somewhere in the Gobi desert in Asia...

*wipes sand across screen*

Sorry <Dom>..I wonder how they managed to confuse me with you..

Just in case you're curious, I have enormous practice in escaping anti-mathematicians and double-syllable worders...It's "hands-on" experience to keep my "head on"...

Anyway thanks for your "heads off" <Jess>...

Jun-24-09  Red October: is this phorum a phront phor phrogspawn?
