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...

On a similar note, in Asia, if the stock shows red, it mean up, green, means down.

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 249 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Oct-24-07    brankat: <WannaBe> <Hot here, good thing it's dry heat! =)> Make sure You consume a lot of liquid. Oct-24-07    WannaBe: So... I'm going to pick up some lunch... heading down the freeway (405 South) I see these 2 Highway Patrol motorcycle, followed by 5 or 6 government-looking cars. You know, the kind with dark, dark, tinted windows and licence plate that says exempt, California plates, not U.S. Federal government plates. And then followed by another pair of Highway Patrol on motorcycles bringing up the rear... Not sure if it's W. or Arnold, heading south to check out the fire... Oct-24-07    WannaBe: We are now up to 1 million people displaced/evacuated. http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/10/23/fi... On that page, if you look a bit north of San Diego, that's where <JoeWms> is, and because of the fire to the north, he currently can't get out, and come to stay with me. If you look at Irvine, and look north a bit, that's where I am at... Gonna go and get my marshmallows, chocolate, and some crackers... Oct-24-07    WannaBe: According to this: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page... I should be rooting for the Rockies... (Dodgers fan). Oct-24-07    NakoSonorense: According to your cnn link, the Malibu fire started on Sunday at 4:50 AM. I went to SM beach that morning and saw some smoke coming from the north, but I never thought it was that serious. Anyway, I think you should've followed those gov't cars to find out who they were transporting... Oct-24-07    WannaBe: Errrr... To clarify, that SM beach stands for Santa Monica... Not what you'd think. Oct-24-07    NakoSonorense: *puzzled* What else might it mean??? Oct-24-07    NakoSonorense: Is it a pun for something? Oct-24-07    WannaBe: Never mind... Oct-24-07    Open Defence: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ft/20071024... Oct-24-07    JoeWms: AP: Orange County Fire Chief Chip Prather told reporters that firefighters' lives were threatened because too few crews were on the ground. He said a quick deployment of aircraft could have corralled a massive blaze near Irvine. "It is an absolute fact: Had we had more air resources, we would have been able to control this fire," he said. Oct-24-07    WannaBe: <JoeWms> That's like someone saying if they had more money, they'd be out of debt. California public services from prison guards down to local firemen and policemen's union have been holding the public hostages with their money demands (pay raises), but yet can't find it in their budgets for their own equipment. How would it be, if police or sheriff chief comes on TV and say if they had more guns they'd stop crime? Find it in your budget, this is not the first time we have fire, probably not the last time we have fire. Next time, the newspaper publishes the salary of our public employees, take a very close look at how much money they make. (Or have the Mrs. read them to you...) And ask ourselves, do they deserve to make that much money. Here: http://dailydispatch.com/news.asp?n... city of Glendale, looking for a fire chief, salary range is $172,000 to $215,000. Depending on prior experiences. Oct-24-07    WannaBe: A rare find!! Tennessee Ernie Ford sining "A Little Tenderness" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K3h...

Oct-24-07    WannaBe: I just heard this song (Okay, I'm a bit behind...) and I thought it was 'Mister Big Stuff' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivIv... But it's AM Radio, by Everclear. For those who don't know Jean Knight, here is a very, very cute clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HP5... Oct-25-07    WannaBe: The original (with updated graphics) but it is J.

Oct-25-07    brankat: Sooooo, have You listened to the doctor's advice regarding the large quantities of fluids? :-) Oct-25-07    WannaBe: <JoeWms> Nov. 21st is bad for me, that's my facial appointment day. <brankat> had some fluid while watching the Boston Massacre Game down at the watering hole. But I came home after the 5th inning to prepare dinner, and watched the rest of the game at home, while surfing aroud YouTube. :-) Oct-25-07    WannaBe: This is somewhat interresting, http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071025... the 'prestigious research institution.' as described in the article, was founded to study eugenics. You can do a google search: http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF... or you can read "War against the Weak" by Edwin Black (which I have a copy) http://www.amazon.com/War-Against-W... Somewhat ironic, if you ask me.
