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 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: So, again, the worker expressed and exercised the 1st amendment right(s), whether suspension is warrented or not is up to company/union policy. Not the administration, because this will be 0-9 in the Supreme Court. Another individual (who happens to be the president) also exercised ...      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-14-26 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: Well, the Wizard of Oz is playing at Las Vegas Sphere...      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 WannaBe chessforum   WannaBe: And let's not even get into trombone with triggers...      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.

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 557 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> May-13-15    WannaBe: Rube Goldberg's SF home is now historic landmark. http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/artic... To enter the house, you have to light a match, boil a kettle of water, the steam will lift a single chop-stick taped to a piece of paper, the stick will then fall off, and knock over 2K dominos (which size increases as it progresses) the last piece then falls onto a mouse trap, which snaps and awaken a sleeping dog which then barks furiously notifying that someone is at the door. May-13-15    Deus Ex Alekhina: It is awfully quiet in Technical Draw Land. Very quiet. Methinks your buddy is biding his time and girding his loins right about now. May-13-15    WannaBe: <Deus Ex Alekhina> Let's head over to his forum and post some really corny/punny jokes. =) That'll get him going. May-13-15    technical draw: Why was < Deus> on my ignore list? You really have to be a bad dude to get on that list. Maybe it was a temporary thing. Anyway I really don't know where the loins are. Also I don't know where the groin is. When somebody in baseball said he got hit in the groin he grabs certain parts of his anatomy. I've checked there and I don't see anything that looks like a groin. Must be some kind of sports joke. May-14-15    Deus Ex Alekhina: <You have to be a bad dude to get on that list> Judge not lest ye be judged. Actually I was never on TD's "ignore list"!! He merely deleted several of my posts. May-14-15    Fusilli: I am SO FREAKING TIRED of blundering blitz games on ICC on account of my stupid optical mice! I have two of them. I have tried both. No matter. Sooner or later they act up on me. I grab a rook and mid-way through, the mouse decides the move is done, and I leave the rook up for grabs! Or I intend castle, and the mouse decide it's Kf1 instead. I have tried my way around this problem by "curving" the move, so that for castle, I pick up the king, take it off the board and come back to the board at g1, but that makes me waste precious blitz seconds. Not to mention when the mouse simply gets stuck or just gives me a hard time completing the move because it doesn't want to be moved to the square I want! Even when I don't blunder, I waste too many seconds on mouse management. This is not all the time. It's say, once every ten moves, but that's more than enough to jeopardize countless blitz games. AAARGHH!!! I'm going back to the good old cord mice. May-14-15    WannaBe: https://www.yahoo.com/health/you-pr... Attention span is now... Hey, pretty goldfish!!! May-15-15    WannaBe: Windows Annoyance: I have my screen time/lock out set at 4 minutes. But after each windows update + reboot, it seem to forget my setting. Have to 'remind/reset' my screen time out afterwards. Grrrrrrrr. May-15-15    WannaBe: Wonderful reviews, especially one by S. Marsh on May 7th, 2015 http://www.amazon.com/Kim-Kardashia... May-15-15    WannaBe: Wooo new book by Joseph Ellis, I loved the three that I have read. Gotta get this one. Will pick it up when I get that new Stephen King book in June. http://www.amazon.com/The-Quartet-O...

Ariz at Ucla (baseball) senior day. May-16-15    WannaBe: Pete Carroll to receive honorary degree from USC: http://espn.go.com/blog/pac12/post/... Wow, after vacating wins and returning of Heisman Trophy, he gets an honorary degree? What will USC give O.J. Simpson? May-20-15    hms123: <Wannabe> I just knew you'd be interested because it involved UCLA, and of course, Vanderbilt. <Vanderbilt women's tennis wins national championship> <The fourth-seeded Commodores dethroned defending national champion UCLA with a 4-2 win Tuesday night in Waco, Texas.> http://www.tennessean.com/story/spo...
