Oct-23-25 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: This is a bit weird, LAA have decided on former catcher K. Suzuki as their new manager, the weird part is the contract is only for one year! https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id... In other news, SFG hired U. of Tenn baseball coach to be their next manager. Someone who have never ...      Oct-22-25 WannaBe chessforum   WannaBe: Yep... Just like "Black Mirror" episode, it's here. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment...      Oct-21-25 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: <keypusher> One doth wonder, if the Million man and then woman march had the (opposite) affect on their cause. (Maybe much like how BLM have, with their own corruption and how Blue have avoided mentioning BLM)      Oct-20-25 Daniel Naroditsky    WannaBe: Yikes!!! =((      Oct-16-25 chessgames.com chessforum    WannaBe: Observed something weird. Using W11, Chrome Version 141.0.7390.108 (Official Build) (64-bit) the divide line between kibitz'n are some normal thin-ness, while others are randomly a bit thicker. Not a big deal, just want to comment on this. (both regular mode and incog mode)      Oct-16-25 D Smerdon vs H Cunanan, 2007    WannaBe: D'oh!!!      Oct-15-25 Faustino Oro    WannaBe: Sheeeeeet. I can easily beat him. But then I'd end up going to jail for a long time.      Oct-02-25 keypusher chessforum   WannaBe: Oh just some case that a magistrate judge let someone avoid jail in MD... Never heard the term of MJ before (No, not Michael Jordan), and from my Google search, it can vary from state to state. (Sorry, did not know you had responded weeks ago... Apologies. And much thanks, too)

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 699 OF 749 ·  Later Kibitzing> Feb-19-22    WannaBe: 99%+ loss. Ouch!! https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreet... Feb-26-22    technical draw: <WannaBe> Not being a Spice Girls 90's fan I didn't know they had a song called "wannabe". Could that be the origin of your user name? C'mon admit it, you know it was. Feb-26-22    jessicafischerqueen: <TD> a rare gaffe on your part! It was <chancho> who did the deep dive research on the "WannaBe" mystery. chancho (you may know him better as "Lotsapoppa" or "canyonero") discovered that "WannaBe" got his handle from one of his favorite comic books- "Manatee". IIRC this comic was about a human who could change into a manatee and be a super hero. This is why I sometimes call "WannaBe" <ManBee>. Feb-27-22    technical draw: <jfq> I don't know. Your theory seems a little weak. I know <chancho> and I'm sure he would write the comic book as <Manatí> I've always wondered why you called him <ManBee>. But we have to get to the source and ask the big W how he got his name. Feb-27-22    WannaBe: When I first signed up and needed a moniker, I thought, why am I here on this site? I WannaBe a better chess player. I ended up being a better punster instead. Feb-27-22    jessicafischerqueen: <TD> It's possible that <the big W> is secretly from Hawaii and his full name is <the big Wahuna>? Feb-27-22    jessicafischerqueen: <the big Wahuna> you're not fooling anyone! I doubt anyone who won the <Maui Chess Championship and Suckling Pig Roast> 20 years in a row would worry about <WannaBe> a better chess player... Feb-27-22    technical draw: Another mystery is why is <WannaBe> with a capital B? Maybe his handle identifies as a member of some nefarious organization. Maybe his "Mr. Nice Guy" is just a cover for some devious actions he going to take. I'll have to check and see if his name is actually Wanna Bescovitov. Feb-27-22    chancho: Guys, it's really not that much of a mystery. <WannaBe> is a big fan of Star War movies. He saw the guy who trained Darth Vader and said: I <Obi wan to be> just like him! And that's how WannaBe became WannaBe. Feb-27-22    technical draw: Nice try <chancho> but I don't buy it. Something tells me it has to do with money. <WannaBe> talks a lot about the stock market. Maybe he <wants to be> another Bernie Madoff. Feb-27-22    whiteshark: And I always thought his name came from one of the better known songs of the Sugarbabes. (We all make mistakes.) Feb-27-22    technical draw: When I first logged in as <technical draw> I thought it was the dumbest name in the world. I wanted to change it but couldn't without making another account. So I was stuck with it. Then someone called me TD and I said yessss! That is cool. So I use TD now. (I still think technical draw is a stupid name.) Feb-27-22    jessicafischerqueen: <TD> You're not fooling anyone eh... Here's what really happened: <TD's> first handle at cg.com was <TOUCHDOWN!>. Why, you might ask? An excellent question, and thanks for asking. Because <TD> is in fact <Bronco Nagurski.> This scientific article will help explain: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronk... Feb-27-22    jessicafischerqueen: <canyonero> <I <Obi wan to be> just like him!> heh... that's pretty good. Good and convincing I'd say! I think you're on to something here. This scientific video will shed light on your theory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI_... Feb-28-22    chancho: Haha... I think you inspired me to create a handle with that name. User: canyonero Had completely forgotten... Here's a song you might like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBv... Mar-01-22    jessicafischerqueen: Nice one canyonero! I remember the Police back in the day they were huge eh.... Mar-04-22    WannaBe: Star Trek Picard Season 2, epi 1: OMG, OMG, OMG!!! 🖖🖖🖖 Cute inside jokes, (this episode) is written by Michael Chabon (famous author, who also did Star Trek Discovery season 1, which heavily involved in alternate universe) Both W. Goldberg (Guinan) and J. de Lancy (Q) appeared. I can't wait to see how this season 2 goes. [It's funny, that both Star Trek Discovery season 4 is approaching the end of this season's story, and have both running at the same time. Discovery is set at least 3,000 years ahead of Picard and now Star Trek have 2 series, set so many years apart. Even when Star Trek Discovery was launched, it ran simultaneously with Star Trek Deep Space 9 for a while, but it was pretty much set in the same time frame.] Mar-04-22    jessicafischerqueen: <MannBee> I had no idea you were an afficianado of the <Star Trek> french fries! Have you heard about the new launch of <Star Trek Deep Dish Apple Pie 9> series? In this go-round the crew become students at a pastry school. Mar-04-22    WannaBe: <JFQ> Yeah... I like them Star Trek Curly French Fries. 🍟🤣🖖🖖 Mar-04-22    jessicafischerqueen: Good call <MannBee>! I should have realized you would be on top of this news... Fun fact: "Curly French Fries" are made out of pig tails. Literal pig's tails... yumm amirite Mar-04-22    WannaBe: <JFQ> You sure can be a goofy-silly woman, love that. And I realized that I had a typo in my post last night, it should be Star Trek Voyager, not Discovery. Voyager's premiere episode took place on DS9 if I remember right, before being tossed into the Delta Quadrant. While chasing the Marquee ship. Mar-04-22    jessicafischerqueen: <MannBee> you really do know your Star Trek. Have you seen each episode of every version and every french fries? It may be the biggest french fries in TV/Movie history, bigger than "Marvel" or "Friday 13th" and such... Mar-04-22    WannaBe: <JFQ> No, I have not seen every episode, some of the newer ones does not appeal to me. Example: Star Trek Lower Deck, and I have not seen the cartoon from the original series. Mar-09-22    WannaBe: Drove to work, gas station near my place was $5.09/gallon. Gas stations near Ontario CA was 5.49, stations near Rancho Cucamonga was 5.89 When I came home, the station near my place is now $5.29 Mar-10-22    WannaBe: Gas station near home is now $5.39, another dime increase in about 24 hours.
