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 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: So, again, the worker expressed and exercised the 1st amendment right(s), whether suspension is warrented or not is up to company/union policy. Not the administration, because this will be 0-9 in the Supreme Court. Another individual (who happens to be the president) also exercised ...      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-14-26 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: Well, the Wizard of Oz is playing at Las Vegas Sphere...      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 WannaBe chessforum   WannaBe: And let's not even get into trombone with triggers...      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 236 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Aug-13-07    WannaBe: The song sounds like an American Country-Western. =) http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070813... Aug-13-07    jessicafischerqueen: <MannBee> I don't quite get people who think <music is un-Islamic>. I've actually read the <Koran> (also the Book of Mormon, Bagahvad Gita, The Upanishads, and the Bible). The Koran never says music is bad. Anywhere. Neither does the Bible. But Puritan Protestants said music was bad. Also theatre, flowers, and a nice sunny day. Well these people should read THEIR OWN BOOKS once in awhile, I think. Very interesting News Story there <MannBee>. Aug-13-07    YouRang: <I don't quite get people who think <music is un-Islamic>. I've actually read the <Koran> (also the Book of Mormon, Bagahvad Gita, The Upanishads, and the Bible).> I believe that for the majority of Muslims, the Koran is not the only authoritative writing. There is also the hadith, where Muslims do find text speaking negatively about music. An article called "The Islamic Ruling on Music and Singing" can be read here: http://oum_abdulaziz.tripod.com/mus... Of course, there is no consensus among Muslims. Many Muslims enjoy music despite these "rulings". However, the idea that music is un-Islamic does have some basis. Aug-13-07    jessicafischerqueen: It may have some basis, but it's still clearly a ludicrous doctrine. Almost beyond comprehension. Why do people do this to themselves? I'll never understand it. Aug-14-07    WannaBe: Pretty soon, they'd all be singing 'She Bangs' as badly as that Hwang kid. =) Boy, today's a long day, 13 hours, and I'm at the N. Cal office. Aug-14-07    tpstar: <WannaBe> I submitted this GOTD Shabalov vs Xie Jun, 2002 as "Xie Bangs" but that was far too racy for our youthful element, so it was reworked into "Xie Works Hard For the Money." True dat. Aug-14-07    JoeWms: Good luck, buddy. Aug-14-07    WannaBe: Yarrrghhh... <JoeWms> closed his forum again... =( Aug-15-07    brankat: <WannaBe> What happened with Joe's forum? Aug-15-07    brankat: <Wannabe> I've just sent You an e-mail. It's about 11:30 PM Pacific T., Tuesday. Aug-15-07    WannaBe: Woo-woo, I get to go home in the morning!! Job here is done! (at least until next time... =) Aug-15-07    brankat: <WannaBe> I received Your e-mail. Thanks buddy. Aug-16-07    jessicafischerqueen: Good lord and here another post of mine was deleted. For using the word <prostitute> in reference to the Donna Summer song. Which is in fact about prostitution. And how great it is. Hey, I didn't write the dam thing, eh? I am under HEAVY SCRUTINY it seems. I wonder why they don't just post an official warning in my forum or just email me? Maybe they hope I'll just go away on my own. Oh well. Did you know there is a <chess GM> named <MannBee>? I couldn't believe it! Aug-16-07    jessicafischerqueen: Oh beg your pardon he is a <Master>. Thomas Mabee 1982 USCF Chess Master and here is the link: http://www.smchesscoach.com/Lessons... Aug-16-07    jessicafischerqueen: So BUSTED! my dear <MannBee>. It appears your chess rating is quite a bit higher than you let on!! We call that <sandbagging> around these parts, buster. Aug-16-07    WannaBe: <jessicafischerqueen> Errr... I looked at the site, the gent's name is Gary, which, as you know, is not me. Plus I don't visit/live in St. Petersburg. I'm gonna guess that the Florida one, not the Russia one. =) On a separate note, I did make it home okay, left NCal about 6:30 AM, got to the office around 2 PM, got the files back onto the server, and my co-workers were able to make a software release today. Aug-16-07    WannaBe: A Brief History of Piano, courtesy of V. Borge! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDJQ... Aug-16-07    WannaBe: Okay, this is the original/old one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfKq... And this is the new one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsJL... Aug-17-07    brankat: <WannaBe> <and my co-workers were able to make a software release today..> What kind of software does Your company make? Just curiosity, not industrial espionage :-) Aug-18-07    brankat: <WannaBe> One more question: How does Rasputin Imperial Russian Stout taste? ;-) Aug-18-07    WannaBe: Just saw the ad for the next 'Survivor', it looks like they'll be in China... Why did no one tell me?!?!? I'd be the winner of that one!! Whatever they put down in front of me, I'd eat it, there's probably nothing in Chinese cooking that I wouldn't eat... =) Plus, knowing the language would probably help. =) Aug-19-07    WannaBe: Speaking of Chinese food... While I was up in NCal... my co-worker took me to a Shanghai restaurant, and <MAN>!! was it good! We had chilled & thinly sliced pig kidney, along with jellyfish head as appetizer, then had 'little dragon dumplins' (Sha'l Lon Bao) along with the main course! =) I miss that restaurant already, I've got to find one like that in SCal... Aug-19-07    hangingenprise: long beach is not a bad place to be. i was there in the mid eighties when brooks, jose torres, duckworth, and others that i can't remember were there. there were some very strong players than. los angeles times chess writer played there and david bronstein held a lecture and simul too. Aug-19-07    hangingenprise: i have set a personal record for the most post in the past two days. wow, enough of these fun and games. Aug-19-07    WannaBe: <hangingenprise> Been in Long Beach on and off now, for about 23+ years... Attended local Jr. and Sr. High school here. Still live in Long Beach, and I work in Huntington Beach. I must say, I like it here a lot. =) Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 750) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 236 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing>
