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.

Feb-24-07  Ingolf: Hi Wannabe. I'd like to help you with that Victor Borge thing, but there's no such word as "Negi" in Danish. How is it pronounced? Maybe you could spell it using the phonetic alphabet?
Feb-24-07
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: <Ingolf> If you watch the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWqF... video, Mr. Borge says it about 1/2 way through the clip. The clip is about 6+ minutes.

The clip is in English, with what I *believe* to be Danish sub-title.

I very much appreciate your help!

Feb-24-07
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: Okay, he says it at the 3:25 mark of the video... The audio is very clear.

Oh, the video is 8:10, not 6+ minutes as I previous posted.

Feb-24-07  Ingolf: I tried to do a google search of Victor Borge and Negi, and it came up with a danish blog where someone recalls Borge explaining how easy it was to learn Japanese: "Negi means onion and negi negi means two onions." Maybe the audience in the video were familiar with that joke?
Feb-24-07
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: <Ingolf> Ahhhhh... Yes, yes. Onion breath is the reference he's making.

Thank you, silly me, thinking it was Danish.

Feb-24-07  Larsker: The Borge subtitles are in Dutch.

Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: <Larsker> Thanks, guess I was wrong on both... 0-2.
Feb-24-07  Dr.Lecter: That was a nice avatar you found for <jessicafischerqueen> If I get a full membership, you can find a fitting avatar for me too, for a price?

  WannaBe: <Dr.Lecter> The 'Full Story' is that I found a picture of the BumbleBee-man (from the Simpsons TV show) and she explored the web-site, then found one she wanted.

I can't claim credit, nor do I want to, for her discovery. The web-site I posted is the last Kibitz that's dated Feb-23-2007.

Feel free to explore that site, and pick/submit something you enjoy. =)

  WannaBe: Probably THE FUNNIEST Animaniacs clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39xN...
Feb-25-07  you vs yourself: Do you know who the cubs are playing that day?
Feb-25-07
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: <you vs yourself> Team from Florida, Marlins.
Feb-25-07
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: <you vs yourself> If you don't like the Marlins, or don't like baseball, I'll bring my traveling chess set, we'll play blitz in the stands...

In between eating hotdogs, cracker jacks, peanuts, and sipping on beer! =)

Feb-25-07  NakoSonorense: Who's on stage? Hahahahaha.
Feb-25-07  you vs yourself: No one here likes the marlins. They knocked us out of the playoffs in '03, when everyone thought we're going to the world series after 60 yrs. You chose the right game, <wannabe>.

Just don't try to catch any foul balls, ok?;-)

  WannaBe: Call me Bartman, WannaBe Bartman!
Feb-25-07  JoeWms: As you wish, Barfman, as you wish.

Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: To do list, after today's live game...

1) add <JoeWms> to ignore list.

2) remove <JoeWms> from Christmas card list.

3) remove <JoeWms> from birthday card list.

4) send lumps of coal to <JoeWms>

=)

Feb-25-07  midknightblue: Hi WannaBe. Hope things are going well. I have a big tourney in Connecticut in a little over a month. Nothing else much new here.
Feb-25-07
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: <midknightblue> Good luck in your tourney!!

Mine's in late May, and early June. Nothing else much new here either. =)

Nice and calm, just the way I like it.

Feb-25-07
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: <midknightblue> Oh, yeah, when ever I'm on FICS and you're on, I try to sneak a peek at your blitz'n games!
Feb-25-07  JoeWms: <WannaBe> First time to see a YouTube on my screen since I got DSL. Video is something thrown in for good pleasure, as far as I'm concerned. The DSL is so Lois could get to use a telephone once in a while. It saved a marriage!

"Who's on Stage?" is an upgrade of the venerable "Who's on First?" by Abbott and Costello. BTW, Is that oldie on a video I can download?

"Barfman" is what I saw on first look. Then I put my trusty 5X glass on it.

Oh, the splinted finger you saw last time we met. I've still got the splint. It's a repetitive stress injury called "trigger finger." Ny left middle finger is always pointed straight out. Good thing I ride in the passenger seat, otherwise I might get in big trouble.

Parting line: I wondered why the ball was getting bigger. Then it hit me.

  jessicafischerqueen: <ManBee> Yes, only we two believed in Black Anand-- and all the rest paid the price--

Visshy rocketed both of us up im the standings!! I notic I'm "right behind you" in two categories now-- Don't get nervous, I'll be in front of you soon...

Wheeeeee

Feb-26-07  midknightblue: Wannabe thx for looking at my games. Let me know if you see any recurring mistakes. I would appreciate the feedback. What is your handle there? Will keep in touch. Good job with your forum page. Nice and active with lots of participants. Hello JoeWms! what's new? Also hello you vs yourself! Wannabe - I should get one of those monroi things like your buddy got. What was his name again, sorry I forgot. Nice guy that you introduced me to, at the Vegas tourney. If you could look at my tourney games you guys could email me later the next day or whatever to explain to me any areas I need to work on :) I know there are a lot!
