 | | Domdaniel: <Branko> Heh. On the other webbed hand, it might just make me green at the gills -- I saw the dreaded letters G-U-T-S lurking in that URL. I'll pluck up courage to look later.

| | Domdaniel: <froguts> I was jumping to erroneous conclusions there. It's just <Ilya>, the <Frog from UNCLE>. |
|
| Mar-23-08 | | brankat: <Domdaniel> Ilya Frog :-) |
|
Mar-24-08
| | Domdaniel: <brankat> Indeed. KK, Jinx, Synchronicity City. By sheer coincidence, a completely different train of thought led me to the <Ilya Frog> page, around the same time as you provided the link to <froguts>. And I'd previously made some comment here on Ilya - 'The Frog from UNCLE' tag comes from the 1960s TV series The Man From UNCLE, in which Robert Vaughn and David McCallum played a pair of sub-Bond-age agents named Napoleon Solo and Ilya Kuryakin. In the murky depths of the Cold War, a handsome Russian hero was a landmark of a kind, even if he was played by a Scot, and Vaughn/Solo had top billing. I even know - to my shame - what U.N.C.L.E. stood for: United Nations Command for Law (and) Enforcement. Not to be confused with Get Smart, The Avengers, The Prisoner, The Saint, or In Like Flint ... |

| | Domdaniel: <"Please understand I never had a secret chart to get me to the heart of this or any other matter..."> I lied. I do actually have a secret chart -- a bit like the map of the time holes in the universe stolen by the short people in Time Bandits -- which gets to the heart of any matter whatsoever, even dark matter. Heart of Darkness? No problemo.
"When he talks like this, you don't know what he's after..." Neither does he. But keep that under your hat.
As an infamous British poster from World War 2 said -- advocating silence lest Nazi spies eavesdrop on your measly secrets: <"Be like Dad -- Keep Mum">. Eh? |

| | Domdaniel: A certain popular indoor sport is being shook to its foundations by the incredible rise of a Norwegian teenager. Yes, Poker will never be the same after wotsername is done with it. Out go the desiccated cowpokes and the wired young men from the East Midlands: the 19-year-old Supergirl from Norway makes everyone fold... |

| Mar-24-08 | | mack: <How to Turn Your Addiction to Prescription Drugs into an International Art Career> I'll admit, I had to google this. Ms W. is rather brilliant and original, from what I've seen on my cyber-tour. Her book sounds like a must too, given the way in which my life is headed. Well done Canada, again. <I'd include Petrosian, BTW.> Without a shadow of a doubt. My favourite world champ by far. Returning a piece to the back rank is almost as fun as rimming a knight. Just ask Ian McKellan. |
|
Mar-24-08
| | Domdaniel: <mack> Of course Ms W is all that and more. I even snuck her into my *Great Canadians* list here several months ago. I haven't actually seen the book yet, though I've had an email promising me a copy. They build some terrifyingly bright women in British Columbia, don't they? |

| Mar-25-08 | | brankat: <Domdaniel> You wouldn't happen to live in this neighbourhood? :-) A news item from England: "ATM gives shoppers double-money windfall"
Thu Mar 20, 1:53 PM
LONDON (Reuters) - A British cash machine became a big hit this week after it started paying out twice as much money as it should. The ATM, outside a supermarket in they city of Hull in northern England, began spewing out double the money Tuesday afternoon and continued doing so for several hours, drawing a crowd of hundreds eager to cash in on the mistake. Those requesting the maximum daily withdrawal of 300 pounds ($600) were being given 600 pounds and a receipt for 300. "People were calling their mates up and telling them to get down there," the Hull Daily Mail quoted a passer-by as saying. After several hours the machine finally ran out of money. Payzone, a company that administers ATMs, would not comment in detail on the incident but said it appeared one of its machines had malfunctioned. Police said those who had benefited could face charges but only if the operator complained. |

| | Domdaniel: <Brankat> No, there's a sea and bits of three countries - England, Wales and Ireland - between me and Hull. My cousin works for Hull University, though, and knows everything about computers. How hard can it be to hack an ATM? Apparently this kind of thing happens frequently, but the banks usually keep it quiet. |

 | | Open Defence: <How hard can it be to hack an ATM?> not very hard......all you need is a wife and watch the money go... :) |
|
Mar-25-08
| | Domdaniel: <all you need is a wife >
Help, I'm being propositioned. |
|
| Mar-26-08 | | Red October: <Domdaniel: <all you need is a wife > Help, I'm being propositioned.> dont flatter yourself ;-p |
|
Mar-26-08
| | Domdaniel: Hi, <Red>. I take your point. But if I don't flatter myself, who will? I'm starting to *dream* about this website, but that's another story. |
|
| Mar-26-08 | | mack: <I'm starting to *dream* about this website, but that's another story.> Thank Christ I'm not the only one. |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: Well since we're confessing, I dream about this place too. How embarrassing!!
Hi Ho <Dom n' mack>. I've been studying more of the <French Defence> and I'll be posting some of my findings here in <Frogspawn>, oddly enough. |
|
Mar-27-08
| | Domdaniel: I was convinced I posted this earlier but I must have been dreaming. What's to be *embarrassed* about? It's not as if some official Fraudian dream dictionary equates <chessgames.com> with <naked blind mole rat orgy> ... er, is it? Just wetware processing its little datums, is all. |
|
Mar-27-08
| | jessicafischerqueen: Sorry <Dom>. but have you seen this? From
<The Official Fraud Dream Dictionary>: "Dreaming about <chessgames.com> means you really want to participate in a <naked blind mole rat orgy>" Sad but true-- here's the link
http://www.naked_mole_rat/Freud.com |

| | jessicafischerqueen: Oh yes I almost forgot-- wasn't sure how serious your <Frisbee> post was, but I think he's a comic genius. I believe his entire schtick is meant for comedy.
I dont think he intends any of what he says to be true-- and I think he's an adult Monty Python fan rather than a <bona fide> teenager. He's my favorite GM!! |
|
Mar-27-08
| | Domdaniel: <Jess> I made a <Frisbee-related> post? One that may or may not have been *serious*? Ehh ... musta been while I was awake. |
|
Mar-27-08
| | Domdaniel: <Jess> I tried the naked-mole-rat-Freud link and got one of those huffy "This page cannot be displayed" messages. Possibly because I'm on an antique laptop. Or maybe it's just all too horrible to contemplate. I just learned that my other machine is actually fixable at a price I can afford. Which will be good news when I wake up. |
|
| Mar-27-08 | | mack: <What's to be *embarrassed* about?> Exactly. Chessgames = Findhorn for social reclusives. |

Mar-27-08
| | jessicafischerqueen: Good grief Hi <Dom>!!! Heh <Frisbee> <Furbee> <User: ferocious beast>... WHACKA MOLE!!
Oh on a serious note VERY SORRY to have given you a start <Dom>.
I thought you'd already seen me do this before---
the old <fake weblink> ploy. every one of my <Batchimeg at the Movies> reviews includes such a 'fake website' address. Good heavens I suppose it's hardly improbable that there IS a page devoted to <Blind ... and Frewd>.. Anyhoo sometimes I would put a line after like "If this weblink doesn't work for you it means your computer is broken". Funny, nobobdy ever believed me when I typed this.
Ok here's how to do it-- Its fun!!
Just type:
http://www.any_old_thing.com
just like that-- a "http://www" then your "fake content" SEE IT'S BLUE AGAIN WE HAVE <HYPERDRIVE CAPPIN>!! Captain I mean!! and you too, can fool your friends!!!
OK sorry about the scare though computers are serious besiness the stupid things I hate when I break mine (and i've broken more than one). CONGRATULATIONS (that you can afford to fix your animal)!!! OK time for a line from <The Good the Bad and the Ugly> (best western ever): "It's very good to be working with you again Blondie..." |

| | jessicafischerqueen: HOly <arcane allusion> again, <mack>. WOTCHA
kk I'll bite: what's a <findhorn>? About one pound fifty pee per hour?
HAHAHAH
Ok is it like a <feudal/futile> horn? I need to know
(and I"m not GOOBILING it-- I think it's both "gauche" and "jejune" to just run to the bloody GOOGLE everytime you don't get something straight off. Much better to bug your friends for the answer!!!
Stupid know it all GOOODEL'S THEOREM and a pox on Search Engines instead of asking your friends behavior I MEAN THE YOUNGSTERS TODAY YOU TELL THEM AND THEY WON'T BELIEVE YOU |
