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 Dickens   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 725 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-29-23    WannaBe: I need to edit this post: < WannaBe: See, now, he is a hugger, not like that 'Other Dude'... Oh, and we get L. Burton and 2 of his real life daughters on the set, too. =)))> One is really his daughter, the other is an actress, but they grew so close, that they are family. There is a(n) YouTube video posted by Paramount+ on this with Wil Weaton as host. Mar-30-23    WannaBe: Today, is a glorious day (to die) as Worf would say, MLB's opening day <AND> Star Trek Picard Episode 7. Now, if (only) this crazy world would get just a somewhat sane(r). But that's probably too much to ask. Mar-30-23    WannaBe: STP, episode 7, and here, we, go! Mar-30-23    WannaBe: Wooo, wooo, wooo, hello "Old Friend", that (cameo) is a bit of a surprise. =)) 🖖 Good to see your pointed ears, again. Mar-30-23    WannaBe: "Did the tree move or the apple fall far from it?" 😂🤣🤦‍♂️ Mar-30-23    WannaBe: That was not a 'fun' episode, dark, drama-filled. Not many one-liners but more 'thinking' involved plot/story line. Still very enjoyable!! 3 more to go. 😁🤩 Apr-05-23    WannaBe: A while back, I posted a YouTube video on how a young start-up fooled JP Morgan Chase to buy her company, and now she is in legal hot water: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/fran... Apr-07-23    technical draw: Well, my good friend <WannaBe> is a Master Trekkie. I hate to tell you this good buddy but I have never seen a single episode of Star Trek. Not the original or the new ones or the movies. I only know things about ST from gifs. You can cancel me now if you want. Apr-07-23    WannaBe: Reminder to self, put <technical draw> a.k.a. Baby Face on Ignore and stop posting 'funny' jokes on his forum. 🤣🤷‍♂️🖖 <-- that last emoji, a.k.a. Vulcan greeting (I hope it displays correctly on your device) And now with that out of the way, Star Trek Picard, Season 3, Episode 8 (two more to go, I am gonna cry) And. Here. We. Go!!!! (Baldly, like that baby avatar from <TD>, go where no one have gone before) Apr-07-23    WannaBe: (Amanda Plummer) She's got a "Pull-apart" cigar lighter!! I love it, I totally love it!!! She is my new favourite vilian, villian, vialian, villian. Fine, OK. Bad-Ass, or is it Bad-Ass-Femme-Fatale? (So I can't spell, even with spell checker... So much for high-tech and Chat-GPT-5, stick that in your cigar and smoke it.) Apr-07-23    technical draw: <WannaBe> <stop posting 'funny' jokes on his forum> You were posting funny jokes on my forum? Sorry I didn't notice. And now that you mention it I do know something about ST: The Vulcan Greeting. Just the hand signal, I don't know if you have to say a greeting. Klaatu barada nikto. Apr-07-23    WannaBe: And here is the 'perbial', 'perverbial', 'previbal', 'pervibial', <MAIN DEBATE>. The need of many out-weight the needs of one? Star Trek (seems) to keep returning back to this point. Not that I mind, it is a moral and ethical dilemma. Apr-07-23    WannaBe: <TD> Actually for Vulcans; it is a greeting and a good-bye, much like "Aloha" or "Shalom". (The hand greeting) Usually begins/ends with "Live long and prosper". Leonard Nimoy, who was raised Jewish, once peeked (when he wasn't suppose/allowed to) and saw the gesture during a ceremony, and remembered/copied it for Star Trek. If I can find that clip on YouTube, I'll put it on your forum. It's where both arms are raised, hand/palm form the the 'V' like gesture. Apr-07-23    WannaBe: Love Amanda Plummer, her "Air-line pilot" speech, just out of this world (pardon the expression/pun). What/which/who genius casted/found/convinced her for this devilish, evil, pure hatred-filled role deserves a raise. Her father would be smiling, ear to ear, she can (be a) Klingon and <PROUDLY> claim she is from the House of Plummer. Daughter of Christopher. Apr-07-23    WannaBe: "Good in bed, bad at pizza" "Just like me" LOL... (But more seriously, I think they are both trying to figure out if the other one is real, or not) Hey, that's like a real dating/relationship!! Whadddayaknow? 🤷‍♂️🤣🤪 Apr-07-23    WannaBe: "This is cozy, I'm gonna take it with me." I think/hope she means the chair. 😁👍😂 I mean, everyone needs a good/comfy (gaming) chair when you play video games, right? Apr-07-23    WannaBe: <SPOILERS!! POSSIBLE SPOILERS!!!!> Picard was once a borg, and now Jack can 'connect' to the other human, possibly humanoids, is this because of the assimilation? And Borg influences? (Was Jack conceived after Picard's return from the Borg and become human again? Time-line would suggest that is the case) Seven of Nine have officially declared that her name is "Seven of Nine", not her birth human name "Hansen", how will she (re)act being controlled by some other entity again? Back to the show. Apr-07-23    WannaBe: Yep, (He's) still not a hugger... Think I'm crying now. Apr-07-23    WannaBe: "Is this a rescue mission or a continuation of the torture?" Now I am really crying, both laughing and just because... Apr-07-23    technical draw: <WannaBe> The hand sign you are probably thinking of is the priestly blessing sign. Apr-07-23    WannaBe: "No, my mother taught me better manners than that". 👍👍 Apr-07-23    WannaBe: Wow, whoa, in the fight between "Data/Lore" we get another small surprise/cameo. Now I am really crying. Apr-07-23    WannaBe: Well, hello pussy, nice to see you again (albeit, the original is long gone), I think I know what Data is doing. Apr-07-23    WannaBe: "This is your friendly positronic, p!ssed off security system back online". 😂 The writers of these episode also deserve a raise... Apr-07-23    WannaBe: That's one heck of a way to bite it... Almost as good as Discovery Season one ending.
