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. 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 570 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Nov-16-15    WannaBe: <chancho> I think I've narrowed it down to why I dislike Spectre's theme song. It's sung by a male in a high-pitched voice... Men/group have done lots of Bond themes, but I don't remember one being in a high-pitched voice. Nov-16-15    WannaBe: More idiots: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/more-... Nov-16-15    Jim Bartle: You better watch your step, <wb>, or else! Oops, I forgot I'm not anonymous. Nov-16-15    WannaBe: You know, I posted last week, that St. Johns lost to some D-II school... Just realized Ucla lost their first game of the '15-'16 season (at Pauley) to Monmouth. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-bas... Yikes!! Nov-16-15    Jim Bartle: UCLA, Georgetown and even Wisconsin lost their openers to really small colleges. Nov-16-15    WannaBe: Final update on the Cal/Stanford tix 'investment'. Purchased 2 tix @144.76 (Oct. 20) Sold 2 tix @162.00 (today) Profit: $17.24 Good thing I don't make a livin' doing this. Nov-17-15    waustad: I met a professional scalper in Costa Rica. I got the impression he was looking for something like a safe deposit box there where he could stash cash. He was based in NY and was probably trying to dodge taxes. It wouldn't be a shock if he got involved with the Brothers Villalobos eventually and lost it all. Their Ponzi scheme paid very well for quite a while. Nov-17-15    WannaBe: This is for <chancho> I think it covers every 'authorized' movies (yes, including George Lazenby) and it's done to one of the best Theme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht8... Nov-18-15    chancho: Thanks <WannaBe> Btw, this is (imo) the best Bond fight ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy2... Nov-19-15    WannaBe: Holy Batman, JACKPOT!!! I was just foolin' around on YouTube and got a clip of Harlem Globetrotter, and did a search on "Lady with Two Left Feet", a.k.a. "Sweet Georgia Brown" And I struck the mother-lode!! Ella https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Sa... Sachmo doing the intro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jkx... But I wonder what is the technique where the clarinet player do the 'staccato' is called. Ray https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0l... Burnett(??) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jf... Nov-19-15    Jim Bartle: I have no idea how he gets that sound on a clarinet. Nov-19-15    WannaBe: Gonna be a fun Saturday, both Ucla & that other school play at 12:30 Pacific. Ucla never had much success at Salt Lake City and that other school goes to Eugene to face the red-hot Ducks (winner of 4 in a row). In other news, Ucla basketball barely escaped Cal Poly at home. They will face Kentucky and North Carolina (at home) and visit Gonzaga (later in the season). NIT, anyone? Nov-20-15    WannaBe: iPad Pro can't wake up. https://www.yahoo.com/tech/s/apple-... Nice work Apple... Nov-22-15    WannaBe: Finally, after almost 5 Qtrs, Raiders scores. Touchdown!! Still losing to Detroit. 9-7. Nov-22-15    WannaBe: Raiders have the lead!! 10-9. (Exciting game) Nov-22-15    WannaBe: Crap, Raiders down again. 16-13. Nov-22-15    WannaBe: Crap, safety. Ugh! 18-13 Detroit. Nov-22-15    WannaBe: Raiders lose. =(( Nov-23-15    WannaBe: Believe it or not, Bay area expecting to see some snow this week(end)!! http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/artic... Nov-23-15    WannaBe: News: UCLA QB Josh Rosen has now thrown 218 passes without an INT, snapping the Bruins' team record of 199 by Drew Olson. Reaction: Great. He just got jinxed, ahead of the cross-town showdown with that other school. Nov-23-15    Jim Bartle: On the first series he should throw a 50yd. Bomb for an interception, just to get it out of the way. Anything to avoid a pick six. Nov-24-15    WannaBe: Oh, goodie, Ucla is only down by 23 pts at half-time against Kansas, in Hawai'i. Nov-25-15    WannaBe: Just made another bunch of future 'investments' in SF Giants tickets. I picked games that will draw fans (I have some idea of which teams have fans that travel well, or Giants fans want to go see). First home stand (game 2, Friday) to open the season vs LAD, 2 tix. Marlins, 2 tix (Personal use, want to see Ichiro before he retires) Cubs, Friday 2 tix, Sunday 2 tix. LAD, June 12, 2 tix. Oakland A's, June 27, 2 tix. See how these future 'investments' work out. =)) Nov-26-15    Agferna: Sorry <Chancho>, the train fight is the best ever. Cheers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Dr... Nov-26-15    chancho: <Agferna> Heh, no problem. That Sean Connery fight with Robert Shaw kicks ass too.
