Jan-08-19 Domdaniel chessforum    Domdaniel: Blank Reg: "They said there was no future - well, this is it."      Jan-06-19 Kibitzer's Café    Domdaniel: Haaarry Neeeeds a Brutish Empire... https://youtu.be/ZioiHctAnac      Jan-06-19 G McCarthy vs M Kennefick, 1977    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 ...      Jan-06-19 Maurice Kennefick    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, ...      Jan-06-19 Anand vs J Fedorowicz, 1990    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 ...      Jan-06-19 chessgames.com chessforum    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 ...      Jan-05-19 Wesley So    Domdaniel: Wesley is a man of his word. Once again, I am impressed by his willingness to stick to commitments.      Jan-04-19 G Neave vs B Sadiku, 2013    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.      Dec-30-18 Robert Enders vs S H Langer, 1968   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 ...      Dec-30-18 T Gelashvili vs T Khmiadashvili, 2001    Domdaniel: This is the game I mean: Bogoljubov vs Alekhine, 1922

Frogspawn: Levity's Rainbow

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 530 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Nov-29-09    crawfb5: Oddly, there is no actual "tide" involved with a "crimson tide." I would have to GOOGLE to tell you what kind of algae are responsible for those runaway blooms. Nov-29-09    jessicafischerqueen: On a muddy pitch in Newcastle (written by Tony Banks and Phil Collins, dedicated to preserving the "pro agricutural reform and public school culture" aspect of progressive rock after the departure of Peter Gabriel) <Big Crawdaddy> yes you get the burrito, m_____f_____er, you answer on point. I didn't know anyone off of the West Coast knew about the deadly "red tide." Interestingly, you don't eat bivalves on months with the letter "r" in them, but that might be an "old Indian's" tale. Nov-29-09    jessicafischerqueen: *Uclulet* Nov-29-09    jessicafischerqueen: <Dom> in case you've been puzzled by recent references from me and <Deffi>: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TH6f... Nov-29-09    crawfb5: <Jess> I grew up on the southern east coast. Red tides are not restricted to the west coast. Answer B was: A movie with Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman... Nov-29-09    jessicafischerqueen: <Big Crawdaddy> Yes, it would be, if not for the fact that most leading film critics currently pretend that film was never made. Yes, it's that bad. Every bit that bad. Nov-29-09    Domdaniel: These so-called leading film critics aren't in the truth-telling business. They welcome such movies with five stars and words like 'gem', 'brill' and 'I laughed until I stopped'. If they're lucky, they get quoted by name in adverts and posters. This gains brownie points in critterland. But the only time I got quoted on a poster they used just a single word: 'brutal'. It was, too. Nov-29-09    jessicafischerqueen: The ghastly state of "leading film critics" can be blamed solely on the fact that almost none of them have any actual knowledge about film, film history, or aesthetics. We do not yet have a replacement for <Pauline Kael>, who managed to bridge the gap between <academic film studies> and <entertainment reviews>. Since her passing, we have only two choices= some turgid blowhard droning on and on about semiotics in a journal nobody will ever read, or some turgid blowhard on the telly chirping on and on about how great "Twilight" is. Also, what happened to one or two word reviews? Brutal Half baked Ill conceived Stultifying Unadulterated trash Well, we have them but they are always clipped "word bites" from woefully uninformed "reviews"- Great! Amazing! Fabulous! I don't have the slightest @#$%* idea what I'm talking about! Nov-30-09    Domdaniel: <one word reviews> I once wrote that National Lampoon's European Vacation was 'incontinent', but I don't think anyone got it. Nov-30-09    achieve: Proposition: <incontinent> That rang a few bells with me; eery, eh? Proof: jessicafischerqueen chessforum Nov-30-09    jessicafischerqueen: heh good memory <Doctor Euwe> and a fine joke to boot. Nov-30-09    jessicafischerqueen: I once reviewed "The Dark Knight" as <pap>, but I was accused of trying to <smear> movies based on comic books. The gall of these people. As Gary Trudeau affirmed in <Doonesbury>, "People who get their political information from a comic strip deserve whoever they get for President." Nov-30-09    whiteshark: <one word reviews> RESIST! Hang Vang Thi Thu vs A Caoili, 2003 Nov-30-09    achieve: <and a fine joke to boot.> Very fine pun- which is why it "stayed with me" for almost two years now, I assumed. Perhaps the "pride", at the time, of "getting it", is also involved. Nov-30-09    Domdaniel: <Niels> Yes, I'm recycling verbiage. Trying to get my brain going again after its hiatus. I may attempt something original soon, though. Nov-30-09    Domdaniel: Nothing original coming through yet, but the Frogspawn Research Dept - always alert for stray jinxes and synchronicities linking our many obsessions - has found this: NB. If you have a lot of obsessions they're bound to be interconnected. Doh. Anyhoo ... <In 1927 Marcel Duchamp married Lydie Fischer Sarazin-Levassor. The wedding was filmed by Man Ray and attended by Picabia. Here, we publish an extract from Sarazin-Levassor’s newly translated autobiography which gives an insight into Duchamp’s Spartan living habits – and his love of French puns …> [more at: http://www.tate.org.uk/tateetc/issu... Could this Lydie person also be the 13th Mrs Alekhine? Or one of Jess’s French ancestresses? Qui sait? Nov-30-09    Domdaniel: Try again, fail again, fail better. http://www.tate.org.uk/tateetc/issu... Nov-30-09    Red October: obsessions could lead to a session with an OB, an OB-GYN even... Nov-30-09    Thorski: <jess: ...I once reviewed "The Dark Knight" as <pap>, but I was accused of trying to <smear> movies based on comic books.> Gynecological puns? Dayum! You a loong way from home, sistah! Nov-30-09    Domdaniel: Gynopuns are actually rather common in Frogspawn, given the prevalent paronomasia and the regular contributors - well, *stars*, really - who happen to be female. Anyway -- back in the day, Jess used to camp out here while her mansion was under construction. So she's right at home here. Always. Paronomasia is either a punning disease or in theology the female consort of the holy ghost, made of equal amounts of EM radiation and mucus. Defense de Geugler. Fauque Art, let's dance. Nov-30-09    jessicafischerqueen: If you and JFQ want to drop every single name in Film/Art History, there are plenty of etc. etc. Therefore, it's time for more humorously anachronistic Peter Gabriel lyrics, these from 1972, though I suspect he's aiming for 1772 <I heard the old man tell his tale: Tinker, alone within a storm, And losing hope he clears the leaves beneath a tree, Seven stones Lay on the ground. Within the seventh house a friend was found.> Nov-30-09    Domdaniel: Speaking of matters gyno, has anyone noticed how Russian chess books -- even recent ones, in translation -- still refer to women as 'the softer sex', 'the tender gender', even 'the weaker sex'? I'd guess that these are all translators' euphemisms for some piece of caveman Slavic talk. Weaker? *Weaker*?? I can almost ignore the sexism, but the sheer stupidity of the observation is unforgivable. Men are called 'the harsher sex', btw. Whoever said that had obviously never been threatened with being sacrificed to the moon goddess. Nov-30-09    jessicafischerqueen: I don't have a problem with Russian chess cavemen. I find the Russian cavewomen much more offensive, notably that uber-arrogant nuisance <Natalia Pogonina>. I'd pay big money to see <Magnus Carlsen> obliterate her at any time control and give her the spanking she's been asking for her whole life. Nov-30-09    Domdaniel: She's never asked me for one. But I'm always willing to 'oblige' the 'ladies', however deranged their whims. Stop! I didn't say that! Back in your box, hyperthalamus! Er, what's old <Pogo Sticks> been up to anyway? I missed a lot of stuff recently. Nov-30-09    Domdaniel: <Jess> Ahem. Right. Well... that's the thing about 'culture', innit? Most of it - as our American friends so delicately phrase it - *sucks*. But the bits that don't are a bottomless pit of allusions, and even the crapola has its uses.
