 | | Domdaniel: Yep, latter passes the time but is utterly pointless. A curiously dense specimen, nonetheless -- I couldn't be bothered going forensic so just wafted some gentle swipes asswards. It won't be around for long. They never are. Puberty awaits: you can hear its hormones whining for release. Nothing good can come of this.

| | Domdaniel: As Mr Burroughs sez:
<So Buddha got tired of waiting for the Man and said "Enough already, I'll synthesize my own junk!" ...> So I got tired of waiting on Nuklu and figured I'd come up with mine own. Prizes ain't vastly different. Or vastly existent neither. Klu #1: Not the French war?
Answer: Magnificent (Computer) |

| | Annie K.: Oy, you expect me to "get" that at 5:30am? I'll try to comprehend it again tomorrow... ;) But it does occur to me that 'Waiting for Nuklu' sounds like a guaranteed bestseller... |

| | Domdaniel: My KETA prognostications are even worse than my solving skills, it's been a long deigh, and I. am. gonna. hit. somebody. No, wait. The hey, hey, hey.
Hey ho. G♘ |

Thought he was a carthorse.
The orchestra struck up.
♘ ... ♘ ... [haven't let go yet, index finger on horsie's schnozzle] ... ♘e9! |

| Dec-23-10 | | MostlyAverageJoe: <Domdaniel: < While 5,040 is a depressingly large number of game pages to check, only about 600 of them are legal game ID numbers.> I would like to gently caution CG against the use of words such as 'depressingly' in a Klu Komment.> Indeed, the correct wording ford that Klu Komment is <<sadistically large>>. OK, so maybe it is findable, but not satisfying. Particularly since there are very few games in the database where move number 7 deserved an exclamation, such as this: A J Goldsby vs David Jacobs, 2000. Boo, hiss. |

| Dec-23-10 | | Once: I get the feeling that the kibitzer's cafe discussion has probably run its course. The spiral seems to be pointing strongly downwards - a circle of the vicious rather than virtuous kind. Have a good christmas - we don't need this sort of nonsense! |
|
| Dec-23-10 | | dakgootje: <the Frogspawn equivalent of a cocktail party moment> Oh that is okay :)
I was gone quickly afterwards as well. Besides, otherwise I could've made an additional off-topic post randomly commenting on how very very cold it is outside and how I should've went with Annie's option and have reconsidered the impulsive action of going to the hair-murderer. But I didn't. |
|
| Dec-23-10 | | dakgootje: oh, and Happy Festivus of course! |
|
Dec-23-10
| | Domdaniel: <Once> Thanks. You too, Christmaswise. Have a good once. I think you're right. A combination of a couple of demented or perversely aggressive types with the fact that CG is unusually full of people hanging about with time on their hands. Or time not on their hands, but hanging round anyway. And getting a tad cranky themselves. I'm probably in that category. But it'll blow over, I agree. |

| | Domdaniel: Nada from Nuklu overnight?
Typical Christmas, everything in a last-minute rush. |
|
Dec-23-10
 | | Stonehenge: The Indelicati seem to have taken over the Café.
Anyway, Merry Christmas!
(better beearlied than belated, eh?) |
|
Dec-23-10
| | Domdaniel: <henge> And you too. I wish the subnormals would piss off back to Indelicatessen, but you never get all your wishes granted this time of year. Still, give it time. Better belated than benever. |
|
| Dec-23-10 | | dakgootje: Ah! a suitable quote for the clue-hunt!
"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." |
|
Dec-23-10
| | Domdaniel: <dak> Heh.
We just have to increase the hit-rate. If you could somehow find 600,000 ways that didn't work ... you'd be impressingly unlucky. |

| | Domdaniel: It's not as if we all hang out in the Kaff normally. It just happens to be currently convenient as a place to pause for refereshment. This too will pass. |

| | Domdaniel: <mack> Thank you. For the card, I mean, not the retro-ironic fool-anyone stick-yer-head-in-a-bag and purchase-that-sucker malware. Didn't Ashley also say "Why are there always more languages? Why hasn't Chineseness spread?" Before your era, but they kicked off C4 with arty stuff like that in the 1980s. He has his answer now, eg Ni Hua vs Wang Yaoyao, 2001 |

| | Domdaniel: PS. If everything I took to be an in-joke was understood by the whole world, I'd write a new in-joke. Or a new world. As Uncle Bill sez: you can write your way out of anything, but the price may be too high to pay. Treason's Bleatings. |
|
Dec-23-10
| | Domdaniel: Going out. 100-1 (on) that I miss the return of Nuklu. Or three. Them's the breaks. |
|
Dec-23-10
| | Domdaniel: Yup, I win my bet. Got back as it vanished.
Not that I'd *necessarily* has been faster than the Doc. Congrats, <tpstar> -- holding, yet again, the 1st and last places at once, and creating a near-unbeatable four-year spread of consistency... |
|
Dec-23-10
| | Domdaniel: The anagram was easy, but I never heard of that particular game. I'd have tried, maybe, Nigel Short. Or R Beckett vs M Piper, 1992 -- since Samuel Beckett invented ringtones, and they make a piping sound, and it's a gambit. Oy. |
