Jan-18-26 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: For what it's worth, both home teams (Saturday) covered the spread and the total went over. For the next 2 games: HOU 40.5 (Opened 41.5) NE -3.0 ML: -175/+145 LAR -3.5 (Opened -4.5) CHI 49.5 (Opened 51.5) ML: -198/+164      Jan-16-26 WannaBe chessforum   WannaBe: 12m in. Not impressed      Jan-16-26 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: Zed's dead. Zed's dead. (if one is to go down the 'Pulp Fiction' path) "That is A tasty burger!!"      Jan-14-26 Chessgames - Odd Lie    WannaBe: This one is from Henry Cho: "I'm changing the caller ID of my wife's phone number to Potential Spam" If you have not seen or heard of Henry, he is worth some of your time on YouTube.      Jan-14-26 Dickson    WannaBe: Apparently, it was a "far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known"      Jan-12-26 Fischer vs V Pupols, 1955    WannaBe: I was thinking baseball bat, tire iron, or brass knuckles.      Jan-11-26 Tata Steel Masters (2026)    WannaBe: So, the Tata Steel blitz were held in India, and players have 6 days to fly to NED for the next (or 2026 first) major event... What is the flight path? Here are some ideas: https://www.flightroutes.com/CCU-AMS      Jan-06-26 Atterdag chessforum    WannaBe: <OCF> Not to mention when TV stations switch red (dem) and blue (rep) to what we know today... On a similar note, in Asia, if the stock shows red, it mean up, green, means down. Go fig.      Jan-04-26 OhioChessFan chessforum   WannaBe: This is for you, with some deeper insight on drone productions, Russian, and now with the cut-off of oil from certain S. American country https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUB...      Jan-01-26 chessgames.com chessforum    WannaBe: That is weird, I posted the answer to <TGA> at 7PM Pacific/10 PM Eastern, and now it shows as I posted Jan 1 2026(???????)

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 132 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jul-04-06    Open Defence: boo hoo hoo!! how does <chopin> know more about football than me!!!! Jul-04-06    Open Defence: thanks for the analysis <Wannabe>!!! Jul-04-06    Chess Classics: <Open Defence> Hey, chill. You're still one up on him after you slaughtered him in tic-tac-toe. <WannaBe> I also recommend Chess Tactics Server, but since my puter is a piece of trash and their server has a few bugs in it, it's not really worth the effort for me. You gonna see some fireworks tonight? Regards, CC Jul-04-06    WannaBe: <Chess Classics: ... You gonna see some fireworks tonight?..> Doubtful, I got the movie "The Fastest Indian" to watch, plus, since my ancestors invented fireworks, there's nothing I haven't seen yet. =) Jul-05-06    WannaBe: "The World's Fastest Indian" I enjoyed it, being a motorcycle enthusiast that I am. =) Jul-05-06    hitman84: <WannaBe>"The world's fastest Indian" Has the movie something to do with Narain Karthikeyan ? Jul-05-06    hitman84: LOL! I guess this is the one. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0412080/ Jul-05-06    WannaBe: <hitman84> Yes, it's about a man, his motorcycle and the speed record. Actually, I don't even know who Karthikeyan is! =) Jul-05-06    WannaBe: Current Standing... <FICSwoodpusher> 97 <percyblakeney> 88 <TheAlchemist> 82 <lostemperor> 72 <Zarra> 63 <Chopin> 62 <Robin01> 61 <EmperorAtahualpa> 58 <Open Defence> 58 <twinlark> 58 <NakoSonorense> 57 <TrueBlue> 55 <Larsker> 51 <themadhair> 51 <Ingolf> 46 <babakova> 40 <larrewl> 38 <WannaBe> 32 <MoonlitKnight> 26 <notsodeepthought> 14 <Dim Weasel> 14 <Mack> 13 <cu8sfan> 13 <hintza> 12 <dakgootje> 12 <hitman84> 12 <thegreatzidane> 12 <Zebra> 12 <Jafar219> 11 <brankat> 10 <offramp> 9 Jul-05-06    WannaBe: <FICSwoodpusher> have no way of gaining any more points, so, he is locked in at 97 pts. <percyblakeney> have predicted Italy will win (50 pts), and Germany will come in 3rd (35 pts). <TheAlchemist> have also predicted Italy will win (50 pts). But is however eliminated due to <percyblakeney> and <FICSwoodpusher>'s higher current points total. So, in a nutshell, <percyblakeney> will win, if Italy wins, or Germany wins, or both happens. The only way <FICSwoodpusher> can win, is for both Italy and Germany to lose. =) Jul-06-06    JoeWms: United Arab Emirate: An emir's hangout. Jul-06-06    FICSwoodpusher: What about the 3rd place playoff? If I remember correctly, I predicted Germany to lose that. Jul-06-06    WannaBe: <FICSwoodpusher> Yes, you did predict Germany to lose that game, unfortunately, I am only awarding points to picking the winner of the games/matches. =) Jul-06-06    TrueBlue: hei, what's up WannaBe, gonna watch the final? Jul-06-06    WannaBe: <TrueBlue> You betcha! It starts 11 AM my time, so I'll fix some late breakfast, get some coffee, and watch TV! =) Jul-06-06    FICSwoodpusher: What are the chances that both Italy and Germany lose? Very small I'm guessing. I did better than I expected considering I know very little about football over the last few years. Jul-08-06    Chopin: Looks like I've already <won> the 'World Cup prediction contest'-- I mean I've beaten <Open Defence>; that's the only thing that matters to me. Congratulations to: <FICSwoodpusher> <percyblakeney> <TheAlchemist> Can I borrow either one of you, for helping me pick some stocks--thanks :) Jul-08-06    FICSwoodpusher: Germany vs portugal = 3-1. A good finish by the Germans considering they were 2nd last time. Congratulations to <percyblakeney> on winning with 123 points. Jul-08-06    Open Defence: well once Germany beat Argentina it was all over for me in the predicto.. Jul-08-06    WannaBe: Congratulations to <percyblakeney>, winner of 2006 World Cup Prediction Contest!! He now have 4 years of bragging right until 2010. Jul-09-06    percyblakeney: Thanks, and thanks to <WannaBe> for arranging the prediction contest! For 2010 I think I'm picking Argentina to win... Jul-09-06    TheAlchemist: <percyblakeney> & <FICSwoodpusher> Congratulations! <WannaBe> Thanks for organizing the whole thing. Jul-09-06    blingice: I'm probably the local soccer n00b for asking this, but the finals are today, correct? (When do they start?) Jul-09-06    WannaBe: <blingice> 11AM Pacific, 2PM Eastern ABC is doing the coverage. Jul-10-06    suenteus po 147: <WannaBe> Will you be reinstating the handicapper's corner at the User: Chessgames Bookie forum for Biel and Dortmund? If so and you need some help, let me know ;) Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 750) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 132 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing>
