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

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 86 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Feb-18-07    Domdaniel: <About sheet-score no way in absolute. In a I mondial war german military camp, even the dayly ration of food was a kind of gift.....> Yes, I see what you mean. I suppose in principle some of the masters could have remembered the moves of games -- but they also had other things on their minds. Like survival. Feb-18-07    laskereshevsky: i think too.......... Feb-18-07    brankat: <jess> <Dom> <"The incarcerated, the mentally infirm, and (as God is my witness) <lunatics> may not vote."> This one is actually quite enlightened compared to a law which was in place till 1929 (or '31) in British Columbia, Canada. I am not sure whether it was also a federal thing, but it certainly was observed in B.C.: "Women, Children and Idiots are not considered persons under Law." Feb-19-07    Open Defence: btw Kanada is the language widely spoken where i am Feb-19-07    Larsker: The lift is being fixed for the next day. During that time we regret that you will be unbearable. (Sign on hotel lift, Bucarest) Feb-19-07    Larsker: Please do not feed the animals. If you have any suitable food, give it to the gard on duty. (Zoo, Hungary) Feb-19-07    Larsker: No jumping from the lift. Survivors will be prosecuted. (Sign on ski lift, Alps) Feb-19-07    brankat: <Open Defence> I sure hope laws in Your part of the world have shown some progress, too :-) Btw, how much longer are You going to keep us all in suspense? Feb-19-07    Larsker: Children found straying will be taken to the lion house (Zoo, Japan) ... From http://www.amazon.com/Broken-Englis... Feb-19-07    brankat: <Larsker> Great quotes, man! Should I ask whether they are true, or an expression of Your creativity? Feb-19-07    Larsker: <brankat> I couldn't resist posting a couple of the treasures from <Broken English Spoken Perfectly> (see link). It's by Stewart Clark who has collected examples of inept English, especially from the tourist industry, for 20 years. Feb-19-07    Larsker: Haircuts half price today. Only one per customer. (Barber's shop, Beijing) Feb-19-07    Larsker: Ladies, leave your clothes here and spend the afternoon having a good time. (Laundry, Rome) Feb-19-07    brankat: Hillarious! Especially the last one. Feb-19-07    Larsker: Ladies are requested not to have children in the bar. (Cocktail lounge, Norway) Feb-19-07    Larsker: <brankat> Yes - it's good stuff. The book is only 94 pages long but worth the money. However, I think it'll be against the copyright laws if I post more from it. Feb-19-07    Domdaniel: <Larsker> - <we regret that you will be unbearable> etc... Wonderful material, thanks. Does it have this one, from a grocery store in Ireland? - Mothers are advised not to leave their children sitting on the bacon slicer, as we are getting a little behind with the orders. Feb-19-07    Domdaniel: <Larsker> I wouldn't worry too much about copyright. I've seen similar collections of stuff doing the rounds by e-mail, and in xerox form even before that. And they've also been quoted in 'serious' books about language by writers like Steven Pinker. Public domain, is my guess. But I am very often wrong... Feb-19-07    Larsker: When passenger of foot heave in sight, tootle the horn. Trumpet him melodiously at first, but if he still obstacles your passage then tootle him with vigor. (Car rental brochure, Japan) Feb-19-07    Larsker: To call room service, please open the door and call room service. (Hotel, Turkey) Feb-19-07    Domdaniel: <Larsker> I just love that <trumpet him melodiously>. A classic. Reported in this week's New Scientist magazine, specially for anyone who wants to send their brain somewhere via snail-mail. "These padded postal bags are the ideal choice for those items that need added protection, or for that extra piece of mind." Hmm. I'm sending myself now, I'll be there in a Jiffy... Feb-19-07    TheAlchemist: When we once went to Greece in High School, there were some rules written on the walls of the ship and in every language we checked (English, German, Italian, French, Croatian, Slovenian, plus there were many more we didn't understand) something was wrong. There was also a PowerPoint presentation circling around e-mails here, with the pictures of such inscriptions, I can't remember much, but one was "Today's specialty: NO FUEL" Feb-19-07    laskereshevsky: Saw that when i was living in Italy.... http://www.bozzetto.com/flash/fem_m... .....:):):) Feb-19-07    Domdaniel: <Larsker> The crossover between such signs and our other fetish, dictionaries, is those weird phrasebooks that appear -- a guide to another language written by somebody who doesn't actually know it... Wasn't there a Portuguese guide to English with the useful phrase "To craunch a marmoset"? Or the ever-handy "My postilion has been struck by lightning". John Cale and Brian Eno wrote a song, Cordoba, all of whose lyrics come from a language phrasebook. Feb-19-07    Zebra: Two of my favourites from Greece were "atomic pizza" and "idiotic parking". (In Greek atomic means individual, and idiotic means private). Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 963) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 86 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing>
