This kind of speech:
"We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things- not because they are easy, but because they are hard." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQOu...
Followed by this kind of achievement:

 | | Domdaniel: Obama still has teeth, folks. Trouble is, he's using them in much the same way as his predecessors. Smiling, when people hoped for some well-aimed bites. Nixon was the only president who never smiled. Well, not since Andrew Jackson, who had teeth of hickory wood. |
|

| | jessicafischerqueen: Incorrect <Dom>.
"Old Hickory" had teeth made out of dead Indian bones. In <The Confidence Man>, Herman Melville refers to Jackson as "Nemesis- the Indian killer". |

| | jessicafischerqueen: Congratulations on your new glasses!!
I will celebrate by sharing this joke with you.
Did you hear about the man who fell in to the vat at the glass making factory? HE MADE A SPECTACLE OF HIMSELF |

| | Domdaniel: <Jess> Heh. Chuckle splutter heh heh HEH. Watch it young lady, I almost Lolled. I don't want to have to kick myself out of Frog's Pawn, do I? But I'm reminded of the guy, chief engineer in a sewage treatment plant, whose wife ran away with somebody else. So he threw himself into his work. |

| | Domdaniel: <POME of the DAY>
I wandered lonely as a bottle
I thought I saw an axolotl
Wordsworth didn't have a clue
And nor do I
And nor do you.
It's fine to play a treasure hunt
Till they're solved by some other --

In the gutter he died
Some called it murder
But it was really sewercide |

He lacked a porpoise in life. |

| | Domdaniel: <Jess> See, my 'sums' can be useful. The digits of Pi just won me another prize. And a good thing too, because I was planning to try Lasker (Baked Alaska?) next ... |

| | Domdaniel: <Deffi> No you don't, not really. You are a Queen on this forum, and Queens are above such things. Did you, uh, try the non-rounded-up version? 1415926 ...? |
|
Dec-23-09
| | Open Defence: I tried dividing it by 3 to get a number series starting with 1.... crap!!! |
|
Dec-23-09
| | Domdaniel: <dividing by 3> I was about to do that when a flash of round-up inspiration hit me. Sorry. And after all those music clues from the CG Deadheads too. I feel your pain. |

| | Open Defence: ahh congrats.. just feeling very dumb.. maybe I should colour my hair blonde.. |

| | Domdaniel: <Deffi> Look at it this way. The gene for blondeness probably originated in Sweden. Now, who won this excellent game, S Hosea vs U Hammarstrom, 2008 ... ? Case closed. Hind sight sees further. |

 | | chessgames.com: Merry Christmas Domdaniel — just dropping you a note to say we still haven't received an email with your mailing address and your shirt size. You won a Paul Morphy Tribute Shirt fair and square, so just write chess@chessgames.com to settle the details. If for some weird reason we are not getting your emails let me know and we can make some other arrangement. |

| | Domdaniel: Now I have to decide what *size* I am? Will my troubles never end? <CG> Apologies. My email is down. I'll contact you tomorrow. Happy Christmas. |

| | Domdaniel: <Jess> A Frogspawn special: <Why did the pogo stick?
Because its PGN was incomplete.>
... Have a Zestful Zoroastermas. Me, I'm going to sleep. An old Canadian custom, I believe. Zzzzzzz... |

| | Domdaniel: <Yesterday> Oh, I believe in yesterday. My first full day in *years* where I could see properly -- <mack> will testify to the absurdity of my old heavily-tinted retro-glasses, made in the early days of lens grinding. And what do I see on this fine day? Abuse and invective, is what. From my *friends*. <Niels> "Sheer ignorance ... infantile ..." <Deffi> "I HATE YOU!" <Jim B> "Dam you Dom!" Thanks, folks. Keep up the high standard of malediction (and femalediction) and 2010 will be a good year in Frogspawn. PS. If any of you were being 'ironic' or 'just joking', better let me know ASAP -- I've already ordered the hits. |

 | | OhioChessFan: <JFQ: <Elvis> has been in the Christmas spirit since at least 2006, when he did this- > In fact, I did not have the Christmas spirit in 2007, because of what happened on this page: Pierluigi Piscopo
I still have an issue with what would normally not matter a whit to me. I don't know who the anonymous donor was that year. I do know this year that the other anonymous donor is a very <cough cough> helpful kibitzer. |

| | Domdaniel: Uh, is this December 24th already? Guess I'd better start thinking about this Xmas lark. Folk may expect gifts, even. I may have to *go out*. I shall return, as the great sage CG hath propesied (prophethied?) on <The 1st of 6 of 9>. |
