Apr-07-26 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: In case I forgot, congrats to them Lady Bruins. =)) U. Mich (69-63) won, but the last spread I saw was -6.5, so if you took UConn w/ spread, you got very lucky, if you bet on them U. Mich, I feel bad; the O/U was 148.5      Apr-06-26 Fusilli chessforum   WannaBe: You too <Fusilli>      Apr-05-26 Chessgames - Odd Lie   WannaBe: Gotta double-triple check for typos in the future, what is "coving my neighbor's wife"?? Are we doves?      Apr-01-26 OhioChessFan chessforum   WannaBe: <OCF> I will now have be a wabbit and dig dipper into Camp Washington Chili. Never hoid of them, don't know if they are canned, fast food, grocery store, etc. Will keep you updated.      Mar-21-26 Chessgames - TV and Films    WannaBe: <CIO> LOL. I remember those mems... <chancho> North by Norwest, totally agree, the audiences know that the plane scene was filmed earlier and played on a screen behind. It was still drama. Same thing with the Mt. Rushmore chase scene.      Mar-18-26 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: <plang> Do you have a link to where you got that information/data from? I would love to read it for myself.      Mar-16-26 WannaBe chessforum    WannaBe: Future research project, how did Offenbach - Orpheus in the Underworld became "Can Can" and women kicking legs before the Radio City Hall Rocketts. An history that probably need some "Lookin Into"      Mar-13-26 chessgames.com chessforum    WannaBe: ¡Olé! ¡Olé! this is what I see for "¡Olé! ¡Olé!" (game of the day Mar-13-2026) I also know this issue have been around for a while, and it's not that important, in IT term, it is a level 'C', cosmetic fix. But I just wish to report it again. Can CG.com unify this ...      Mar-11-26 Sebastien Feller    WannaBe: <FSR> March 11 is his birthday, and usually PoD is chosen from the birth date of the player. So unless CG.com decides to change the algorithm on how PoD is decided. We will randomly get "undesired" player(s).      Mar-05-26 G Timoscenko vs Karpov, 1967   WannaBe: So, strictly out of "Morbid Curiosity", I requested an analysis of the position: 1) +12.62 (22 ply) 55...Ke6 56. Nc6 Bg2 57. Nxa7 Ba8 58. Nc6 Kd7 59. Ne5+ Ke6 60. Nxg6 Be4 61. b6 f4 62. Nxf4+ Kf5 63. g6 Kg4 64. b7 Kxg3 65. b8=Q Kf3 66. g7 Bh7 67. g8=Q Bxg8 68. Qxg8 Ke3 69. a7 Ke4 ...

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 236 OF 754 ·  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 754) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 236 OF 754 ·  Later Kibitzing>
