May-17-25 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: Something else I never knew: <One such case was in 2019 at Royal Portrush for the British Open, when Xander Schauffele was among 30 players randomly selected to have his driver tested by the R&A, which governs golf everywhere but the U.S. and Mexico.> ...      May-16-25 WannaBe chessforum   WannaBe: <OCF> Not sure if you enjoyed that one, but here is another one with Lucero Tena, maybe 10(?) years later. Different tune. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CT...      May-16-25 Anthony Saidy   WannaBe: Holy Batman, I took that photo 20 years ago? I've been on CG.com way to long. I can't even count how many (online) business that have gone out of biz in those 20 years. Guess I should be happy we are still here and commenting on Dr. Saidy. Maybe after I kick the bucket, he can give ...      May-15-25 Chessgames - Music    WannaBe: I got 30 quid on Celine Dion      May-13-25 offramp chessforum    WannaBe: Are your islands interested in becoming 51st or 52nd state? I know someone you can get in touch with.      May-12-25 Louis Stumpers    WannaBe: Somewhat serious, if there is any one that can give an answer: Something just occurred in my head (No, it wasn't not my 10x daily dosage of 240v shock therapy) Why orchestra percussion uses a triangle? Instead of say circle, or square, or pentagon? I can produce the same 'ting' with      May-06-25 Carlsen vs S Randjelovic, 1999    WannaBe: From the Game Title (Section): <NOR Championship Group Miniputt (1999)> What is Miniputt? I take it that is not golf related. Is this like a section designation? e.g. Open/Masters/Class A/B/C/D      May-06-25 chessgames.com chessforum    WannaBe: May 3rd and 4th is weekend, and 5th is Cinco de Mayo. Steve probably enjoyed the long weekend got drunk. 😁🤪🍻🍷🍾🍸🍹🍺🥂🥃      May-04-25 Lasker vs R Sze, 1910    WannaBe: I dunno about that, usually Sunday Morning puzzles are like 11 out of 10 scale. (No apologies to any movie, actors, or directors, or sequel that is due in theatre in a few month)      May-01-25 Biographer Bistro    WannaBe: <NpCA> did not realize you wanted it to be posted on other web page(s)... There is a free built-in tool in Windows, called 'Snipping tool', one way to do this, is to generate the FEN image here, then snip that image -> Save As JPG or whatever you wish to your computer

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 745 OF 745 ·  Later Kibitzing> Apr-10-25    WannaBe: <OD> Yeah, 145%... https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/... Apr-10-25    WannaBe: In other funny news... Apple airlifted 600 tonnes (Yep, six hundred) about 1.5M iPhones from India to U.S. to avoid/ahead of tariff. Google it yourself. 😁 Apr-11-25    Open Defence: Didn't proponents of the free market say that high taxes (and I include tariffs in that, it works like an Indirect tax) don't work and people will go to great lengths to avoid them? XD Apr-11-25    Open Defence: In happier news I found the trailer for <SNW3> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjA... Apr-13-25    WannaBe: <OD> This is for you, 5m video. You'll like it. I hope YT does not country block this. =) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9A... Apr-15-25    Open Defence: <WORF!> Thanks for that <Wannabe>! Apr-15-25    WannaBe: Still no lotteries in Nevada... Go fig https://www.casino.org/vitalvegas/c... Apr-15-25    Open Defence: loved that interview Michael Dorn also directed many of the episodes if I recall correctly Frakes also directed a few if memory serves me right Apr-16-25    WannaBe: Here is another for <OD>, Don't know why I never knew this story, but watching this video, I can just imagine Worf being the Sheriff (which he did, on the holodeck with his son) and doing the "Where the white women at" (Blazing Saddles) line, with Data. 3m video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-I8... I need help/therapy... From Star Trek. I blame everything on G. Roddenberry. Apr-16-25    WannaBe: Oh, holy crap, Tim Russ (Tuvok, amongst many other appearances on Star Trek) was one of the Afro-Combers on Spaceballs. "We ain't found ***" Never. Knew. Or. Would. Have. Recognized. Him. Apr-16-25    Stonehenge: Quite funny: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEu... Apr-16-25    WannaBe: CNN.com must be getting desperate for money, I usually read about 5-10 article a day on there without any pay-wall issues. Today, every article is blocked, asking for sign-in or start paying. So I just opened an incog browser and carried on as usual. And learned that UK's top court ruled 5-0 that definition of woman is assigned at birth (UK's top court only have 5 justices?!?!) Google search shows Canada have 9, but have stipulation on where and how many justices come from parts of the country. Justices have to retire at 75 years of age or earlier. Or be voted out by gross violation. Mexico had 11, but reduced it to 9 and have 12-year term limit. Apr-17-25    WannaBe: <Stonehenge> Boy I miss that spinning "SPECIAL" multi-coloured openings. Uhura, LOL, OMG... I think that is Brian Cox playing the Klingon. Spoof #2, is that Mel Brooks playing Spock?! That is Mel Brooks!!! Wow, nice legs on C.B., can't figure out who is the actor that played the Capt's role. Apr-17-25    WannaBe: <Stonehenge> That same YT channel also have a 13m video of Trek Spoof from In Living Color. (Not sure if you know that already...) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hat... Apr-17-25    WannaBe: Star Date 10346.398; Personal log. In reference to the U.K. ruling... I know that males have taken advantage of this in US (see swimming) and personally. What you identify is none of my business. (key word identify) I identify as a waskley wabbit. Does that mean I am a wabbit? (debate amongst yourselves) There is a Japanese guy, (I believe he is a male) that spent a whole bunch of money and want to be a dog and actually got a costume to be a dog... Does that mean now he goes to a vet to get medical care? Apr-17-25    Stonehenge: <can't figure out who is the actor that played the Capt's role.> Harvey Korman, see https://thedaviddesk2.blogspot.com/... Apr-22-25    Open Defence: hehe yeah Tim Russ was in Spaceballs, that meme is doing the rounds now.... That Michael Dorn, Brent Spinner anecdote was hilarious heh! Apr-24-25    Schwartz: A funny paper on panspermia: https://scientificdesign.org/wp-con... Apr-26-25    WannaBe: As far as 1812 goes, this one is up there... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGh...

After I am sober and watched USS Callister (Info into indo Indefedelity or Infidity or Infinity) (And Beyond, as buzz aldrin would have said in a Disney movie, or two, or three) May-05-25    WannaBe: I was so lookin' forward to Black Mirror USS Callisto, and after 90m of viewing. F------- May-12-25    WannaBe: <TD> this is for you (If you are still with us) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_j... May-13-25    OhioChessFan: I'm pretty sure that's the first castanet solo I've seen. May-16-25    WannaBe: <OCF> Not sure if you enjoyed that one, but here is another one with Lucero Tena, maybe 10(?) years later. Different tune. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CT...
