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-16-26 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: Kershaw will pitch for Team USA in World Baseball Classic in March https://www.yahoo.com/sports/mlb/br...      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.

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 171 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Dec-05-06    WannaBe: The long-awaited "Hannibal Rising" is released (today)!! Woo Woo!!! Now, someone pass me that plate of fava beans and the Chianti please. Check back here in a few days for the book review. =) Dec-06-06    WannaBe: Alright, how many of you knows this SONG???: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPbt... And name the band, no cheating!!!! Dec-06-06    WannaBe: There was a time where I can sing (like) this... Now I sound more like Harry Shearer. But I still love Frankie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0gw... Dec-06-06    nescio: <Alright, how many of you knows this SONG???: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPbt... And name the band, no cheating!!!!> Don't know what you mean by cheating, but I remember it from the jazz band Manhattan Transfer. I don't know who wrote the song. Dec-06-06    technical draw: 1965 The Ad Libs..... Dec-06-06    BishopofBlunder: <WannaBe: Alright, how many of you knows this SONG???: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPbt...; Would you consider the ability to read the "artist and title" written above the video screen "cheating"? Dec-06-06    technical draw: <BoB> Check the URL ... Dec-06-06    WannaBe: <BishopofBlunder> I was thinking people will just listen to the tune, but not try to see the screen. =) Bad example. Dec-06-06    NakoSonorense: I don't know if you're aware of this, but last Friday the UCLA Soccer team lost the final against UCSB. Had UCLA won, it would have been our 100th National Championship, which is, as you probably know, more than any other university in the US!!! The victory over 'SC somehow compensates for that, though... :) Dec-06-06    WannaBe: <NakoSonorense> Yes, I was aware of the fact that both Men and Women Soccer team lost in the NCAA playoffs. And our water polo team did not do well this year. Dec-07-06    WannaBe: "Hannibal Rising", if you liked the earlier Hannibal books, you won't be disappointed. The book tells the story of how the child Hannibal became the person that we know. Quick read, quite enjoyable. Dec-07-06    WannaBe: My own nominations...
