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.

Does <Magic Howard Johnson's> play for the Bruins?

<Kareem Abdul Jabba the Pizza Hut>?

BTW <Allen Iverson> to be traded back to <Philly> for three magic beans.

I read it today on Yahoo News!!

Mar-20-08  ahmadov: <WannaBe: <ahmadov> I'll post it as soon as I have one! :-))> How long do you think we should wait before that happens? :-)
Mar-20-08  suenteus po 147: <WannaBe> Just a reminder, you have only 19 hours left on our gameknot game. If the time control is too short, we could call this a draw and start a new game with a longer time control.
Mar-21-08  meloncio: <ahmadov><Is there a game which you won by playing 2.Ke2? :-)><WannaBe: <ahmadov> I'll post it as soon as I have one! :-))>

Hey Wannabe, here's an Easter gift for you:

White: WannaBe
Black: meloncio

1. e4 e5 2.Ke2 resigns

Now you have one! :-)

Mar-21-08  NakoSonorense: <WannaBe> Thanks for playing! Good game!

I don't know where you went wrong. I'm thinking maybe 19. Ne4, because up to that point, I think it was pretty much balanced. Maybe you had the advantage before that, double rooks in a soon-to-be open file.

I need to get a closer view...

  WannaBe: I'll tell ya where I went wrong!!! It was when I accepted the challenge!! :-))

Swear, if I'm not so busy, I'd give you a real game.... (but still lose, of course! =)

  WannaBe: Businesses For Dummies: (Free!!)

1. Know the Business, (No, because you were a waiter, doesn't mean you know the business...)

2. Know the Business, (No, because you were a cook, doesn't mean you know the business...)

3. Know the Business, (No, because you were a bartender, doesn't mean you know the business...)

4. Have a <HUGE> war-chest/reserved money, at least to survive the first 3 month. (Both personal, and business-wise)

5. Work, Work, Work & more Work. Expect to work at a minimum, 90+ hours a week (for a while... month!)

6. Congratulations, you've joined an instant weight loss program! (I've personally lost almost 35 pounds!)

7. It's not as glamourous as you think!!

8. When your cell phone rings, expect the absolute worst!!

9. People are envious of you, because you are the <MAN>, and you are the <BOSS>. What you say, is <IT>!

10. You are not <THE MAN> or <THE BOSS>, and whatever you say, is <NOT IT>, because your customers out-rank you. Accept it!

11. Smile, Smile, Smile, and Laugh. Crack a joke or two.

12. If, should you succeed, you're in the money! And I <MEAN> money!

13. If, you don't, sucks to be you... And it sucks!

14. It take guts/b@lls to do it, and I mean it!!

  WannaBe: 15. No matter how you much you 'think' you know. You know Diddly Squat, and that 'learning curve!?'. It is a straight line, 90 degrees upward, expect it, respect it, learn it!!
Mar-23-08  brankat: <WannaBe> Sounds like the simplest thing in the world :-)

Much easier than the Sicilian, French, Dutch, Scandinavian, Scotch, English, Indian, Spanish (Ruy Lopez), Italian (Guioco Piano), Russian (Petrov), and, of course, the WB Gambit :-)

Mar-23-08  DrDum: Wa? say it isnt so! EVERYONE knows that running a bar is the simplest thing in the world!! You know get other people to work for you and just sit back and count the money! :D just ask any bartender/waiter/cook no better yet ask any customer!!
Mar-23-08  whiskeyrebel: Don't you just stand behind the bar and polish glasses, occasionally sliding a couple foamy beers down the bar?
Mar-23-08  brankat: And spend the rest of time kibitzing at CG.com :-)
Mar-24-08
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: <whiskeyrebel> & <brankat>, Yes, yes, I do... hence the great drastic decline in my number of posts!!! Too busy pushing that foamy ones down the bar!
Mar-24-08  just a kid: <ragh>Go KU!!!!I picked them to go all the way!

P.S. I picked Davidson over georgetown in my single bracket fillout.

Mar-25-08  Ragh: <just a kid> Good, so you're a Jayhawks fan too!! I've had pretty good luck in my bracket as well, about forty-eight points out of possible 64.

I support KU not just because its my alumni, but also because they've been having one heck of a basketball team every year as a tradition.

  WannaBe: Hey! UCLA only here, on this forum! :-))

Attended my first Business Association meeting/lunch today, man! It is <SO> different from corporate meetings, things actually got discussed, and stuff got done! <AMAZING>!!!

And you know that fellow business owners are there because they want to, not because it's a corporate mandatory meeting... When issues are brought up, and discussed, people actually listen and pay attention! What a concept!!

I survived my first two month!

Mar-25-08  brankat: <WannaBe> <I survived my first two month!> Congratulations!

But, let's not forget those 35 pounds of You which were not so lucky :-)

All the best the rest of the way!
