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.

Dec-14-08  brankat: <Mrs. Alekhine> Thanks for mentioning <Alydar>. While writing m previous post I couldn't remember the name for the life of me. I knew it started with the "A" though :-)

Yes, a great runner, and a sire. Too bad he died young.

I remember Alysheba well, cashed the Kentucky ticket in '77. Four-1 again :-).

After the first few steps out of the gate he stumbled and almost fell, but managed to recover and win in the end.

And of course two 2 Breeders Cup Classics.

Affirmed, like Secretariat (except for Lady's Secret) didn't do as well at the stud as Alydar and Slew.

Not to mention THE ONE. You know which one. The greatest of them all!

Dec-14-08  Mrs. Alekhine: <Northern Dancer>!!!

HEH-- Canadian too....

Be advised that <Slew> was in <Dancer's> blood lineage---

Dec-14-08  Mrs. Alekhine: Oh <branko> and yes <Slew and Alydar> better sires than <Affirmed>, but the latter was hardly a slouch..

Like I said, his turf children were stellar.

<Lady Affirmed> may be the greatest Turf Mare in American racing history, for example...

  WannaBe: Breeders Cup, winning it twice in a row, that's hard, considering Curlin almost did it this year.

(I was there at the track, Santa Anita, which will host it against, in 2009...)

  jessicafischerqueen: <MannBee>

very exciting!!

I am jealous....

Poor <Curlin> got toasted on the turn for home there- going around 9-wide it looked like-- losing a lot of ground.

I saw it on <youtube>...

Dec-15-08  valiant: Best Written Post: <amadeus> On the Carlsen page today!

  OhioChessFan: For a monetary bribris, I'll nominate you.
Dec-17-08  Ragh: <thebribri8: What about me? Don't I get anything?> Yes, you get to collect all the briberies coming out of these Oscar negotiations, err.. nominations.
Dec-17-08  technical draw: Instead of the Wannabe Gambit, this Christmas try TD's Opening surprise:

1. Nf3 1...any
2. Ng1!

ho, ho, ho!

Dec-17-08  Ragh: <TD's Opening surprise> As sharp a variation it might seem at first glance, but perhaps, this continuation leads to a <technical draw> in the end.
Dec-17-08  Ragh: Oops! Just yesterday, I nominated myself for the Best Avatar Caissar here and today this drastic event (Kibitzer's Café) has ruined my beautiful avatar that I donned until yesterday ;)
