May-14-25 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: IND (4-seed) ousted CLE 4 games to 1. If NYK (3-seed) gets past BOS, Madison Square will go nuts, and party like it's 1899 For tomorrow's game, BOS is -4.5 O/U: 208.5 ML: -190/+160      May-13-25 offramp chessforum   WannaBe: Are your islands interested in becoming 51st or 52nd state? I know someone you can get in touch with.      May-12-25 WannaBe chessforum    WannaBe: <TD> this is for you (If you are still with us) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_j...      May-12-25 Louis Stumpers    WannaBe: Somewhat serious, if there is any one that can give an answer: Something just occurred in my head (No, it wasn't not my 10x daily dosage of 240v shock therapy) Why orchestra percussion uses a triangle? Instead of say circle, or square, or pentagon? I can produce the same 'ting' with      May-06-25 Carlsen vs S Randjelovic, 1999    WannaBe: From the Game Title (Section): <NOR Championship Group Miniputt (1999)> What is Miniputt? I take it that is not golf related. Is this like a section designation? e.g. Open/Masters/Class A/B/C/D      May-06-25 chessgames.com chessforum    WannaBe: May 3rd and 4th is weekend, and 5th is Cinco de Mayo. Steve probably enjoyed the long weekend got drunk. 😁🤪🍻🍷🍾🍸🍹🍺🥂🥃      May-04-25 Lasker vs R Sze, 1910    WannaBe: I dunno about that, usually Sunday Morning puzzles are like 11 out of 10 scale. (No apologies to any movie, actors, or directors, or sequel that is due in theatre in a few month)      May-01-25 Biographer Bistro    WannaBe: <NpCA> did not realize you wanted it to be posted on other web page(s)... There is a free built-in tool in Windows, called 'Snipping tool', one way to do this, is to generate the FEN image here, then snip that image -> Save As JPG or whatever you wish to your computer      May-01-25 Duda vs Nakamura, 2018   WannaBe: <ECRVZZZ> Dragon is B70-B79, you can input that in the advanced search range on the home page.

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 335 OF 745 ·  Later Kibitzing> Apr-04-09    Open Defence: i have an entire stamp collection on QE2 Apr-04-09    jessicafischerqueen: Stamp collection? Cool! Although I would never have taken you for a <philanderer> Apr-04-09    Open Defence: I have philandered with the best of them Apr-04-09    crawfb5: <Open Defence: I have philandered with the best of them> Wouldn't it be more fun to philander with the worst of them? Apr-04-09    Open Defence: the best philanderers or the worst people ? Apr-07-09    whiskeyrebel: wannabe, it's official..I'm gonna be going to the Chicago open but will have to miss the joys of the National open this year. I hope we can both make it in 2010. Is anybody from CG.com gonna be in Chicago? Hello? Apr-08-09    WannaBe: <whiskeyrebel> Have fun in Chicago/Oak Brook, or is it even at Oak Brook this year? <DrDum> and I was at the Chicago Open a few years back, and got to meet a few of the CG.com members. =) Apr-09-09    ForeverYoung: hey whiskeyrebel. I mentioned to Raptis that you were going to be playing in chicago. He advises to beware of the lower rated youngsters who are rapidly improving. lol, Paul Apr-09-09    whiskeyrebel: Man, playing at the Austin chess club I'm always on my toes when it comes to talented kids. One of them won the K-8 in Nashville. Many of the kids are rated well over 2000 and I'm sure if anyone is going to be taken for granted it'll be me! Apr-13-09    technical draw: <WannaBe> Did your name originate from the Spice Girls song or did you make it up? Apr-14-09    WannaBe: <technical draw> When I first registered, I thought of something that is chess-related, but me, being somewhat of a newbie to chess, (and a dumb-a$$), couldn't think of anything. But I came to this site, because I Wanna Be a better chess player. =) Apr-14-09    technical draw: <WannaBe> I kind of figured that. It's just that I saw there was a song titled Wannabe and I thought there might be a connection. (BTW have you become a better player?) Apr-14-09    WannaBe: <technical draw: ... BTW have you become a better player?> Yes, I have, my rating have gone up over 2000 points!! Apr-15-09    blacksburg: if you <WannaBe> my lover, you gotta get with my friends! Apr-15-09    WannaBe: <blacksburg> I don't mind your friends, but that big yellow looking bird really scares the crap out of me... You know us wabbits, afraid of big boids!! =) Apr-15-09    Pyke: Hi guys, I don't mean to interrupt, but I think you don't have to worry 'bout the bird anymore ... hehe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K8K... Apr-16-09    WannaBe: <Pyke> Great clip! I've not watched MADTv for a while, and I see, that they are still funny as ever. Apr-16-09    Pyke: <Wannabe> Haha! I am glad you liked it! MadTv is one of my favourites. Apr-16-09    whiteshark: A case of Bird flu: Bird / Dobell vs Gunsberg / Locock, 1892 @ www.Mad.tv :D May-01-09    WannaBe: What a full load of crap from Microsoft!! http://community.winsupersite.com/b... May-02-09    jessicafischerqueen: Hey <MannBee>!! I'm just dropping by to see if you know about <Spyware Blaster>. I don't know how I did without it. I was routinely picking up all kinds of spyware and tracking cookies every day after my "sweeps"- But since I got the <Spyware Blaster Firewall> almost nothing at all ever gets through, so I don't have to clean up with my <spyware killer> software. I'm thinking that the <firewalls> are more important than anything else. May-04-09    WannaBe: <jessicafischerqueen> Yes, firewall is a nice thing to have. =) (But an external router doesn't hurt either.) May-05-09    WannaBe: This is pretty cool, in the second round of the GK.com 54th tournament, in my group, there are 2 players in Europe (Portugal and Netherlands) and the fourth player is Indian. Again, I'm the highest rated player in the group, guess I'll have to suck it up and really try hard. May-05-09    NakoSonorense: Good luck! Kick their European and Asian a$se$! May-08-09    WannaBe: Star Trek Movie Review (No Spoilers) B-/C+, then again, I'm pretty tough with my Trek movies... I thought the actor who played Bones did the best job (portraying) a previous actor, but at a younger age/roll. No one from the previous Star Trek episodes, producer/writer wise, was involved, no Brannon Braga, Rick Berman, etc... It's a quickie fix for Trekkies (I even wore my shirt for the movie... What a geek). Some cute inside joke. Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 745) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 335 OF 745 ·  Later Kibitzing>
