WannaBe: LAD will start Snell and Yamamoto for Games 1 and 2 (Same against MIL), so I guess/think Glasnow and Ohtani for 3 and 4 at home. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id... Last starts was Oct 13th (Snell) and 14th (Yamamoto, CG). Hopefully there isn't "rust, and time off" curse.

  WannaBe: Thursday, means the release of Star Trek Discovery and Star Trek Picard, the Great Curley Frenchy Fries of the Star Trek World.

(Screw them Marvel Universe, or Batman, or SpongeBob circle pants)

Michael Chabon (author, and writer of many Star Trek newer episodes) is "honored"? by having his name mentioned as the male servant of the Picard Estate.

I may have to go back and revisit season 1 of Star Trek Picard to see if his name was ever mentioned in an episode. (His name is very well on display during the credits as writer or story originator)

Or this is just a way of Season 2 to bring honour of his script writings. Barely started Season 2 episode 2, probably will post more as I go along with this episode, and later, I will watch Star Trek Discovery (a.k.a. STD, in the geek/nerd world...)

Please no jokes about STD initials... D'oh!!

  WannaBe: That's heck of a "mini" cliff hangar to end season 2 episode 2 of Picard...

Much less humour and much much darker, I realize these shows are filmed in much advance (compared to modern events), but still. Heck Star Trek is have them all topped.

<MannBee>

I have to admit this looks like a tasty French Fries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_...

So if I have this right, this series takes place shortly before the timeline of the original french fries starring Canada's own BILL SHATNER?

  WannaBe: <JFQ> Discovery season one did start before Enterprise (Bill Shatner) days, season two introduced Capt. Pike and Ethan Peck as Spock

Ethan is the grandson of Gregory Peck. Star Trek Strange New World will feature Capt Pike and Spock, covering the era before Capt. Kirk. And later Pike will get injured and ended up in the wheel chair and can only use the blinking light to answer Yes/No questions.

And the lovely Rebecca Ramajian (can't spell her last name), who played Mystique in the first few X-men movie will play Pike's right hand woman, a.k.a. Number One

Really looking forward to that after this season's Discovery and Picard ends. From what I hear, Strange New World will be more episode-like format, each episode is a story by itself; much like the original and Next Generation. Where as each season of Discovery and Picard is one story that takes place over 12 episodes.

  WannaBe: I definitely find STP more interesting than STD right now... Both show have the moral and ethical points and decisions made by the characters to be debatable, to say the very least.

Great writings by the way... I find STP with Michael Chabon to be top quality. (This may or may not mean anything, as I also consider my cooking to be Michelin 6-star worthy and my chess rating to be higher than that Norwegian guy...)

Mar-18-22  technical draw: I'm writing to you here <WannaBe> because I know you have influence in the tech word. Can you please, please, tell the designer's of the keyboards to switch the comma and period keys? Ergonomically speaking that's the way it should be. I know because I'm always getting them wrong. And while you're at it can you also switch the the semi-colon and the apostrophe key. The English speaking world will be grateful. Thank You...TD

  WannaBe: Okay, Okay, I know my fans are wondering (why) my last post is " Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!" (yeah, all zero of you, that's the number of fans I have...)

Q have lost his power (again), he snapped his finger and nothing happened, Q said: "... That's most unfortunate."

And the episode ended. Q have lost his omnipotent power before, but what is causing this one??

Good evening. I am a fan, rendering your mathematics dubious.

In addition, Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!

I hope that helps clear things up.

Mar-27-22  technical draw: < Okay, Okay, I know my fans are wondering (why) my last post is " Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!">

OK, both your fans thought you hit the Powerball. I was one and was expecting a share. Thanks for crashing my hopes.

  jessicafischerqueen:

<TD> MannBee did indeed hit the Powerball. We were in cahoots and shared the prize.

You're not jealous are you? I wouldn't want you to be jealous eh...

Mar-28-22  technical draw: <Jfq> Well, I made my millions the hard way, I earned it. Now some fly by night conmen get it the easy way, just picking winning numbers. Anyone can do that. Yes I am jealous, now I'm not the only millionaire on chessgames.

<technical bee>

Not sure if this will make you feel better, but as it turns out <MannBee> has informed me that he mistakenly entered our pick in the "dink section" of Powerball, and our prize was only 10 dollars.

Luckily, I *cough* trust <MannBee>, so I am happy to have the 5 dollars.

I am even willing to share it with you. Simply post your credit card number (with password) in this forum and I will *cough* deposit two fiddy into your account...

  WannaBe: Not to go off the course/track here, but looks like GameStop (GME) and AMC (AMC) are now 'hot meme' again...

It's almost the end of March, with April Fool's Day coming in a few days, are people spending tax refund money? Or will they end up being fools in April?

Time will tell.

  WannaBe: Cross posting (referrences) from J. Lim sports page...

This is how it all got started:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_S...

Mar-29-22  technical draw: <WannaBe>. The Stripper is a very famous song, however I played (without knowing it) the flip side which was Ebb Tide, two very different songs. I finally got sick of Ebb Tide by overplaying it.

  WannaBe: <TD> You played Tide Detergent on the B-side? πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

(What is the B-side? If I can't read English and I think B-side is the A-side?)

  WannaBe: Wait, wait a cotton-pickin'-minute. Ebb Tide as in the Righteous Bros??
