WannaBe: <perfidious> Hehheheh I was in on of those pools, number of years; lots of fun, only 5 bux/week to enter, no one gets 'hurts'. And the house/bar buys you a beer when you participate. (They know you will sit there for just a 'few' more cold ones) Now, those elimination pools on

Mar-29-15  Jim Bartle: <The February 12th letter informing the fund's investors about the governmental investigation was sent by Ken deRegt, one of the hedge fund's partners, via his attorney from Skadden Arps.>

He lost 99.7% of the fund yet still has money to hire Skadden Arps?

Mar-29-15  technical draw: . <Or lend money to <technical draw>...>

Too late. I've already lost $100 million of my investors money but hey! I said I was sorry.

Mar-29-15  Benzol: <WannaBe> It's good to see that <Whiskeyrebel> has returned.

  WannaBe: GoDaddy to IPO (GDDY) http://247wallst.com/investing/2015...

On Wednesday, April 1st. I can't want for Danica Patrick to ring in the trading day, then scream "April Fools!!!!!"

(Maybe that's how the other fella lost 99.7% of the investment capital?)

Mar-30-15  Mating Net: Kings are down by 2 while Calgary is up by 2. Deuces wild, but in a bad way.

  WannaBe: Yeah, them Chi 'Hawks are taking the revenge of last year on us.

  WannaBe: Second half-time in the hockey game, maybe them Kings can manage 2 more goals to tie it up and win it in OT, a la game 7 last year?

If not, I'd have to demote them from Kings to Prince, or "Pretender to the throne"

Speaking of which, why are future Kings calls Pretender to the throne? Who are the "Real" to the throne???

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preten...

Only to find out, that the term is French, and it's prétendre, probably the same meaning as énténdré...

There, we've just gone from ice hockey to (French) royalty history. Only here, on CG.com will this ever happen. =))

Mar-30-15  Mating Net: Not tonight for the Kings. It may not be aurevoir just yet. They are 2 points out of the last wild card spot, but they hold the tie break on Winter Peg.

Think they make one that will fit over cowboy sheet-kickers!?! So I can attend a rodeo kick up my leg and take a selfie?!

Mar-31-15  Mating Net: Looks the Feds are after a certain hockey lumberjack. http://www.tsn.ca/arrest-warrant-is...

  WannaBe: Great!! More ways to waste time at work!

https://www.yahoo.com/tech/google-m...

<Mating Net> Good, I hope he sit in the penalty box for at least a year.

Mar-31-15  technical draw: Holy mackerel there Andy! That's one cool Rube Goldberg passover exhibit. From baby Moses to the parting of the Red Sea and ending with the passover seder. Thanks for sharing.

  WannaBe: <technical draw> further proof (as if more's required) that nerds have no life, but do have a lot of time on their hands.
Apr-02-15  Mating Net: Calgary lost tonight, so the Kings control their own destiny again. They should destroy the oil cans tonight and move into the last wild card slot and only a point out of the final divisional slot with a game less.

  WannaBe: Ugh, I hate these late season push... Pacific will only have top 3 (guaranteed), the 2 wild cards will be Winnipeg and North Stars.

Errr, Wild. Maybe them Kings have a chance to win the Smythe Division.

  WannaBe: Tonight's betting line for the Oilers/Kings was LA -375!

You had to put up 375$ to collect 475$, if I was anywhere close to a sports book, I'd put 10$ just for laughs on Oilers.

At least I'd collect some decent beer money to drown my sorrow...

  WannaBe: And them Kings promptly kicked a field goal, up 3-0, but better watch out for them Edmonton Eskimos on an on-side kick.
Apr-02-15  Mating Net: Save your carrots <WannaBe> neither Warren Moon nor Wayne Gretzky are playing for Edmonton tonight. The Kings play them again next week.
Apr-02-15  Jim Bartle: Reminds me of the ad where Bo Jackson was playing hockey, and Gretzky skated up to the camera and said, "No."

  WannaBe: <Jim Bartle> Oh geeeeeesh, K. Gibson, Jim Everett (Mr. Happy feet, and don't call me Chrissy?), bad boy of tennis Johnny Mc?

Man, I was at the LA Coliseum in 1990 when Bo got hurt vs Cincinnati. I was way up in the cheap seats...

Apr-03-15  Jim Bartle: Sorry. The footbal player reference for a hockey game triggered the memory.

Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: <Jim Bartle> No worries. It was quite an experience, play-off game, LA Raiders, Bo Jackson. =))

<Mating Net> Kings are 1 pt behind Calgary, <AND> the Kings have played one less game (good thing), but lookin' at the remaining schedule, Calgary have it easier.

Kings and Calgary do play one more time, in Calgary.

Apr-03-15  Mating Net: It would seem that some animals are more equal than others when it comes to water rationing. http://rt.com/usa/246429-california...
