| | Domdaniel: <Niels> *flat voice* ... I. am. *so*. tone. deaf. I just know some typographic tricks, is all.
Speaking of which, wasn't Sharky here just the other day, with a 4x4 magic frog square? The iggy musta been a very recent development. I'm inclined to the explanation he gave Jess. The iggy list as cyber-geographical, the addict cutting off their own supply ... |
|
| Apr-14-08 | | achieve: <Dom> Yes, precisely... Something like that, I thought, would be likely? Sorta what Ziggu meant... Yes, cutting off the supply.
Several related stuff is in concordance with that...
I simply am UNABLE to convince myself you'd be tone-deaf... PLEASE STOP it!!
|
|
| Apr-14-08 | | achieve: <Dom> Sorry - yeah - sharky gave several solutions 3x3 and 4x4 and I think we did not react/acknowledge them... Um, sorry that I didn't pick up on that...
But you're right - that may play a role -- not sure... But your memory is correct...
|
|
| Apr-14-08 | | Red October: I thought the 4x4 was identical to what Dom posted earlier ? or simmilar ? dont remember |
|
Apr-14-08
| | Domdaniel: Yeah, it was the same, but I didn't read any significance into that. But, maybe ... hmmm. Oh, enough already. It's not like I've never been ignored before. Signify shmignify ... |

| | Domdaniel: <Jess> -- <with these Koreans you really have to watch your step> Heh, they sound like Liliputians from an episode (chapter?) of Jessica's Travels. After a terrible war, Jess Reports, Liliput is partitioned between Big-enders and Little-enders... "Oops, crushed another one of the little fellows,"
Watch out for those talking horses, flying islands, etc. |
|
| Apr-14-08 | | Red October: fun projects for this summer...
Annotate a Kramnik Petrov game in the manner of a trashy Mills and Boon or Jilly Cooper romance novel :-D |
|

| | Domdaniel: <Deffi> - <Annotate a Kramnik Petrov game in the manner of a trashy Mills and Boon> Heh, brilliant. Maybe a Kramnik vs Topalov (post-Elista, no handshake etc) game would be good. "The dashing young champion took her in his arms. Without warning, a fly landed on her forehead. He kissed it." |

| | Domdaniel: <Eyal> - <"The safest way to double your money is to fold it twice and put it in your pocket". > Excellent, thank you. But confusing ... surely you can double your money by folding it *once*? The origami method suggested here would actually quadruple your money. The formula is M = 2^f
Where M is the money and f is the number of folds. |

| Apr-15-08 | | Red October: she whispered "I hope you have washed your hands".... |

| | Domdaniel: "Uhm, excuse me for a moment", he gasped. "I, ah, left something important in the bathroom." "Boy stuff" she thought smilingly to herself. "I understand, darling", she murmured to his retreating back. Suddenly there was a strange mechanic noise, and a harsh voice spoke. "Step away from the toilet. An engine has been detected on your person and you have been targeted by a lethal weapon. Now STEP AWAY FROM THE TOILET." Forgetting the proprieties, and the sign that said 'Gentlemen & Chessplayers', she dashed to his assistance. Then came a rattle of gunfire ... ... as she died, he whispered "I'll always love you, but I'll soon have an upgrade". As her Zeiss Optikon eyes glazed over she sighed "I never even knew I was an engine..." "Goodbye darling" he said. "At least you won't die a Spanish virgin". ['The Grandmaster Girlfriend Ploy'] |
|
| Apr-15-08 | | Red October: <"Goodbye darling" he said. "At least you won't die a Spanish virgin".> LMAO!! and we have our title right there.. the Spanish Virgin or Why he left me for a Petrov |

Heh-- they are pretty short here, its true.
While teaching my "Hip Hop English" lesson today, I explained that a "shawty" is a girlfriend. They said "Why?"
I said cuz usually a girlfriend is "shorter" than her "boyfriend." And then they yelled "NOT YOU!"
(Cuz I"m actually taller than most of my male co-teachers) HAHAHAAHAH
Land of the Midgets... Starring Jonathan Swift, with Jessica Fischer Queen as the "girl from the off-license"... |

| | jessicafischerqueen: Did you know you cant fold a piece of paper in half more than six times? There's some kind of Maths Law against it or something. I believe the penalties are quite severe, as well. |

| | Domdaniel: "She felt his piercing eyes scanning her queenside, then her kingside, then her backside, probing for an entry point. Finally the Bulgar made his move ..." Oops. Our Millet'n'Boone is turning naughty. |
|
Apr-15-08
| | Domdaniel: <Long Tall Jessy> I thought <Rat Scriabin> was the drummer with The Damned. To quote Blank Reg the OAP punk: "We always said there was no future, and this is it." |
|

| | Domdaniel: <Did you know you cant fold a piece of paper in half more than six times?> This is apparently a 'party trick', if you go to really bad parties. I prefer the ones with tone-deaf dancing. |
|
| Apr-15-08 | | achieve: <I prefer the ones with tone-deaf dancing.> I imagine that must be quite defficult. heh!
|
|
Apr-15-08
| | Domdaniel: <Niels> You obviously haven't seen me "dance" ... |
|
| Apr-15-08 | | achieve: Right, <Dom>, that is for certain.... Does it look a bit like, um, 'Nordic Walking'?
(I'm nuts today) |
|
| Apr-15-08 | | achieve: Today I read: "Twenty Ways to Maintain a Healthy Level of Insanity." I was laughing spasmodically by the time I got to the sixth one... |
|
| Apr-15-08 | | achieve: --20 Ways To Maintain A Healthy Level Of Insanity--> 1. At Lunch Time, Sit In Your Parked Car With Sunglasses on and point a Hair Dryer At Passing Cars. See If They Slow Down. 2. Page Yourself Over The Intercom. Don't Disguise Your Voice. 3. Every Time Someone Asks You To Do Something, ask If They Want Fries with that. [usw.]
HELP - it's starting again... |

| | Domdaniel: <Niels> My (true) contribution. I've got a skip 3/4 full of old rubbish (mine, mostly) outside my house ... and I correctly anticipated that some low types would drive up and try to add *their* garbage to it. So I planned sitting up all night on the window ledge in the dark. And when they tried dumping stuff, I'd flick on a laser beam, target their face, while an amplified voice says "Step away from the vehicle - lethal force will be used - step away from the vehicle ..." They outwitted me, though. Pulled up in broad daylight and tossed a TV set and a bed into it ... while I wasn't looking. There really ain't no Sanity Clauses. |
