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 286 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Feb-12-08    NakoSonorense: That's Italian for: "I want a man who's not a big-mouth or I want to be a virgin until death" Feb-12-08    WannaBe: I'm gonna guess that 'big-mouth' means talk, talk, talk, not literally a 'big-mouth' Thank you <NakoSonorense>, did not know you speak Italian! =) Feb-13-08    brankat: You sure are learning a lot of useful things in bar business ;-) Feb-13-08    WannaBe: <brankat> Yes, I've learned that <NakoSonorense> have an understanding of Italian! Maybe when he meets Andrea, they can speak Italian to each other... Feb-13-08    brankat: Fortunately enough, You don't believe the "quote" :-) Feb-13-08    meloncio: <WannaBe> I like the little add in your profile. :) Feb-13-08    WannaBe: Yes, I like to advertise my own 'gambit' =) Feb-14-08    brankat: Something you may need :-) : Best wishes for Valentine's Day! Stay cool! Feb-14-08    WannaBe: <brankat> Thanks! =) Feb-15-08    NakoSonorense: No, no... Even though I understand some Italian, I'm still far from being fluent or from being able to keep up a long conversation. Anyway, hope you and Andrea had a nice evening last night, you son of a gun. =) Feb-15-08    WannaBe: Nope, I had to work, and she had plans, but she did come in to see me and had dinner at my pub. Gave her a dozen roses, and that was about it. Feb-15-08    brankat: <WannaBe> <...but she did come in to see me and had dinner at my pub.> Did she leave You a good tip? :-) Feb-16-08    WannaBe: Nope, didn't even pay! Feb-16-08    whiskeyrebel: time to put "Women" by Charles Bukowski on your reading list perhaps. He lived out his final years just a few miles from where you're stationed. Are there any Buk fans out there reading this? Feb-16-08    euripides: <whisky> do you know Raymond Carver's poem about Bukowski ? Feb-16-08    whiskeyrebel: I've read a reasonable amount of Carver and know they were pals..but don't recall reading a poem about him. Do you have a link handy? Incidently, I grew up in the region Carver eventually settled in and wrote about. Feb-16-08    euripides: <whisky> to the best of my memory it's about 4 pages long and describes Bukowski's behaviour addressing a group students. It's a riot. It's quite early in Carver's trajectory, before the last ten years when he sobered up and settled down. I don't have a link but will have a look. Feb-16-08    euripides: <whisky> It's in Carver's 'Collected Poems'. It turns out there is a text on the internet at http://www.ljfind.com/post/109129478/ Feb-17-08    whiskeyrebel: euripides, thanks for the link. I enjoyed it. Carver's at the top of my "need to read more of" list as soon as I finish the time consuming hoop jumping to earn my degree.I'm very impressed to encounter a literate person here in my buddy Wannabe's forum (hee hee). Feb-17-08    WannaBe: I have 'found' the source of my stress, and they will be dealt with appropriately. Job openings!! Feb-18-08    brankat: Now You're talking like a true American executive :-) Delegate tasks, supervise, pay a little, collect a lot :-) Feb-18-08    WannaBe: <brankat> I am a 'nice' guy, and I treat people 'nicely'... But I am not receiving the 'compliment(s)' that I feel I deserve..... To be quite honest, I treat/pay my help(s) well, and if I see any 'monkey business' going on, I <WILL> take the 'appropriate' action(s)... Either way, the problems or my 'cancers' will be resolved, and here is a 'shout out' to <suenteus po 147> =) USS Enterprise have its <Captain> and, the ship is in good 'hands' now, I have my <Sulu>, <Chekov>, and my <Dr. McCoy> and most of all, I have my XO, <Mr. Spock> From now on, it's warp 10+, and we're gonna go where <NO ONE> have gone before!!! =) Make it so, Mr. Crusher!!! Feb-18-08    WannaBe: I <REALLY> hate to beat on a 'dead horse', but I love you guys/gals, because you <ALL> are my extended families... I am still waiting for <DrDum> to post his opinions/comments on the new FOX show, Sarah Conner Chronicles... =) Apparently, it's chess related, so he told me. :-))) Feb-18-08    hitman84: <I am a 'nice' guy, and I treat people 'nicely'... But I am not receiving the 'compliment(s)' that I feel I deserve.....> You poor kid.. you have a lot to learn in life :) Feb-18-08    WannaBe: <hitman84> I know... because I have always treated you 'nicely' and the only thing you've ever done for me, is beat me!!! :-) Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 750) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 286 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing>
