Jan-19-26 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: I made a math error in my last post, so I deleted it.      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-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. American country https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUB...      Jan-01-26 chessgames.com chessforum    WannaBe: That is weird, I posted the answer to <TGA> at 7PM Pacific/10 PM Eastern, and now it shows as I posted Jan 1 2026(???????)

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 495 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Feb-08-13    Travis Bickle: Let me open a beer to a Happy Chinese New Year!! ; P Feb-08-13    technical draw: Remember this, <Wannabe>? Dear TD: I have been an admirer of you even when you were poor, But now that you're rich you can help me even more. You see I have lost my third business along with my third wife. I try to run a good business but I just can't lay off the bottle. Whisky is destroying my life and I'm sure with a couple of mil from you I can get into the right rehab and start all over again and this time I mean to stay on the wagon and make you proud. Please Dear TD you're my last hope, signed. Fingers crossed in LA. Dear Fingers: I will definitely help you, loser. And I promise I won't reveal you true identity. All I ask is that you get rid of the awful bugs bunny avatar. And get rid of the WannaBe name, it sounds like you're begging (which of course you are but must we flaunt it?) Oh, did I say I was going to help you? Ha, ha! Insiders joke. Dear TD doesn't help losers so go back to panhandling on Crenshaw and quit wasting my time. Dear TD, helping the poor and needy since 1994 (except WannaBe). Feb-09-13    Shams: I think <Dear TD> should be a recurring column. Feb-10-13    Jim Bartle: Anybody read about the Louisville-Notre Dame five-overtime game? A ND guy hit three looong 3-pointers plus a three-point play in the last minute to force overtime. One Louisville player took four potential game-winners in the overtimes, mainly wild three-pointers, never thinking of passing. Pitino was yelling at him. A ND guy who usually doesn't even play scored 17 points. He didn't get in the game until overtime, because of guys fouling out. Feb-10-13    WannaBe: <JB> I was following the WSU-UCLA game, did not know a thing about Lou-ND game. Read about the Wis-UM game. Feb-10-13    WannaBe: Happy Chinese New Year, Everyone! Feb-10-13    hms123: <WannaBe> Happy Chinese New Year to you. What time is dinner? ;-) Feb-10-13    WannaBe: <hms123> This evening, of course! =) Co-Worker gave me a "Year Cake" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nian_gao Going to slice it up like spam, then lightly sautee that in oil. Also made some curry last night, so I'm gonna have some o' that too. Feb-11-13    WannaBe: Got an iPhone with 6.1? Better patch it. http://news.yahoo.com/apple-rushes-... Feb-11-13    NakoSonorense: Don't have one. How do you like the phone you have? I remember you said you're a latecomer to the smartphone world, right? Feb-11-13    WannaBe: <NakoSonorense> Yes, I'm latecomer to these gadgets. I like the (T-Mobile) plan (cheap). The phone's capabilities are enough for what I use it for. (web surfing, play on GK, watch live-games on CG while lying in bed at 5AM in the morning...) The screen can be a little bigger, that means splurge more $$$. Feb-11-13    WannaBe: Self-Critique, <5AM in the morning...> Good thing it's not 5PM in the morning, way to be repetitive, way to be repetitive. Feb-11-13    chancho: The D is silent....User: django Feb-11-13    NakoSonorense: The Google Sky application is really cool. If your phone supports it, you should totally download it. Some other apps I use are Google Maps (for when I get lost), Dictionary.com (for when I don't know a word), Google Translate (for when I wanna impress a girl in a different language), ESPN ScoreCenter (for when I want to see results from the NBA, MLB, and UCLA games), Goal.com (for when I want to read soccer news), Scoremobile (for when I want live results on soccer matches [better than ESPN ScoreCenter]), Shazam (for when I don't know the name of a song), and Amazon Kindle [for when I want to read). Ah, I use it also to check the Rogoff page. Feb-11-13    NakoSonorense: <chancho> <The D is silent....User: django> I always want to say "chango." Feb-11-13    chancho: Oye Nako, Was ist los? Feb-11-13    NakoSonorense: Nicht viel. Dich? Feb-11-13    chancho: <Nako> just reminiscing about that whupping the Celts gave the Lakers a few days ago. :P Feb-11-13    WannaBe: Re: Django Unchained, cute movie, if you got the stomach for Q. Tarantino style. =)) Feb-11-13    chancho: That movie was super bloody. Feb-12-13    WannaBe: 2:20 mark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nwt_... Feb-13-13    OhioChessFan: I thought it was spelled "bidness". http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/... Feb-13-13    WannaBe: I wonder how much one of these puppy costs. (Pun absolutely intended!!!) http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/13/s... Feb-14-13    WannaBe: http://tv.yahoo.com/news/teen--jeop... Cliff's still the best.
