 | | Domdaniel: <Ravel + number> I've got this quirk: courtesy with a psychotic edge. At various times in the past, my friends <twinlark>, <Joe Wms> and <Jessica> have each asked me politely not to address them in a particular way. I apologized and complied and we remain the best of pals. Other people have made uncouth demands. Let's just say they don't come around here no more. Stay couth. And take a look at the square of 71 and compare it to factorial seven plus one (71^2:7!+1). And please don't even *think* about actions that involve people 'not messing with you for a while'. I'm not a jealous god, but I fight dirty. |

The Bowers that Pee gave us these weapons for a reason, like Truman said about the Bomb. Like "All-out thermonuclear heck". You gotta love the guy. He'd rather blow up the planet than use a dirty word. Did I mention *Saporalophobia*?

| | Domdaniel: No, <macaque>, it has never happened with you, despite all I know about your overcoat-related activities. Have you rolled any lushes lately? And what's with the non-person status? Don't pretend it's poverty, I know you got England's Stately Homos in every Shire. And it's *ouanquere* in Frog, you perfidious albionite. Heckling GMs leads to master baiting, not that *this* GM cares. Sex with someone you love, and all that. Ahhh. Some friendships can withstand any amount of insultery. I hope. |

Thanks bud, you've been a great help. Have you ever looked up the word "dom" in your Dutch Dick Shunnery? There you go, I rest my case.

| Jun-20-08 | | mack: But masser, I *is* poor... I'm very fond of the piles of mud for breakfast, sir, very generous helpings they are too, and I live for the frequent beatings round the head with a slipper, but could yuh not pay me a little summat once in a while? I know I've only been able to work twenty hours a day since yuh blew me legs off with a canon, but it's better than nothin', isn't it sir? |

| | Domdaniel: <Never happened me with me> Peter Greenaway told me once that the ideal sexual partner would be a clone, twin, or doppelganger ... they'd know where everything was and what buttons to press. Not sure I agree: differenceness has its advantages. But a doppelganger who turns you down? That is a *truly* masochistic concept, innit. I heard an idiot interviewer on the radio recently ask a Eurovision winner if the hit song was "a doppelganger round his neck". Coleridge would throw up. I-and-I say me-and-me should get their sheet together. Literally, for once. |

| | Domdaniel: <Niels> Haven't you read enough crime/mystery novels or seen the movies? Sam Spade may rest his case, but the case won't rest easy, and it always bites back. And you're a good man. A good person. In 1940s noir, sheer goodness and decency was enough to solve the case and get the girl. Not any more. These days the good ones go crazy, if they're lucky... You feel lucky, punk?
My Spanish & Portuguese dictionaries are in vogue today. They tell me that 'Dom' and 'Don' - meaning, roughly, 'Esquire' - can only be used before Christian names. So I'm a non-christer passing himself off as a red-blooded xtian, christian name and all. There's bound to be a law against it. Maybe they'll burn me at the stake, or pass me on to the Holy Office. It used to be the Inquisition, but they rebranded.
I'd feel safer in Holland, *whatever* dom means in Dutch. Is it something you stick in a dyke? |

Jun-20-08
| | Domdaniel: <Niels> Congrats, of course, on the CCL mark. I'm trying to wean myself off counting things, but I salute you anyhow. I've been too reclusive. Must get out and about more. Plus Frogspawn actually seems to thrive better in my absence. It's like Brainwashing House in here, as described by Viv Stanshall - people running around, catching diseases and giggling... |

| Jun-20-08 | | achieve: <It's like Brainwashing House in here, as described by Viv Stanshall - people running around, catching diseases and giggling...> heh - I actually like that analogy. Quite brilliant combination, actually. <Feel lucky, punk?> Not sure... I rented "No Cuntry for Old Men" the other day, and was even disappointed in it. What does that make me??
CCL, yeah, it's better than XXL, innit?
Ironically I recently de-reclused myself but who knows if it will last? I prefer to refer to Frogspawn when asked. |

This is the site that blanked Bilbo, Newfoundland ("Oh my America, my new found land - with nukes in Corpus Christi, and a statue of Custer's last stand" - John Donne and me, duetting) Don't tell Jessica or she'll start with the Margaret Thatcher routine.

| | Domdaniel: Er. Didn't I post something about the three English words - cleave, ravel, and inflammable - that have opposite meanings to themselves? cleave: stick together/ cut apart
ravel: tangle/ disentangle
inflammable: able to burn/ not able to burn
Maybe I forgot. |
|
| Jun-20-08 | | achieve: <Dom> My previous post was a compliment in disguise. But since "wë" don't use smileys in here I left some to imagination. I *do* have trouble placing myself in a frame of time. Giggling and all. heh - I remember we had a discussion on "maxims" at someone's forum... Good times too. |

Jun-20-08
| | Domdaniel: <Niels> Out in Reel Life, I saw Leonard Cohen, met some old friends, got invited to a party, met all kinds of even older friends ... 20 years, in some cases. They seemed pleased to see me. I wonder where I've been. And, yes, maxims. A restaurant in Paris and a type of machine gun? The Maxim Gun. If that doesn't sound right, it should. |

|
| Jun-20-08 | | mack: <Dom> O gawd, don't go throwing pigs at me; who knows what I might be carrying? Drugs, yes, usually, but they're replaceable. Not like my emotional baggage -- what am I gonna do if the filth take that? Since Boris 'aren't black people hilarious?' Johnson got in there has been a very noticeable increase of rozzers on the street. And here's the kicker - for the most part, they're not doing *anything*. There were three scumbags hanging around outside the National Archives the other day, sharing a sandwich. In *Kew*, for Pete's sake! Needless to say, in my area of the woods there are even more. Last month I was stopped in Stepney Green for - I kid you not - 'crossing the road without a green light'. 'In many European capitals, sir, that's illegal.' I didn't feel like pointing out that London wasn't one of those capitals, because a) I was in a rush and b) I was carrying small quantities of skunk. But it's really quite scary that this is the sort of thing I can get stopped for now. |

| Jun-20-08 | | mack: Okay kids, time for some chess. Here's a game I played last night in a simul against IM Adam Hunt (whom I beat two years ago, also in a simul). I shall post the score here without notes or punctuation first, to see what you come up with, but fear not, I've plenty to say. Unlikely counterplay, what? A. Hunt - M. Daniels
1.e4 g6 2.d4 Bg7 3.Nc3 d6 4.Be3 Nc6 5.Qd2 e5 6.d5 Nce7 7.0-0-0 f5 8.f3 f4 9.Bf2 Nf6 10.g3 g5 11.h4 h6 12.hxg5 hxg5 13.Rxh8+ Bxh8 14.Nh3 Nh7 15.gxf4 gxf4 16.Bh4 Bf6 17.Bf2 Ng6 18.Bg2 Ng5 19.Rh1 Bxh3 20.Bxh3 Nxh3 21.Rxh3 Qd7 22.Rh1 Kf7 23.Qd1 a6 24.Rh7+ Bg7 25.Qh1 Rh8 26.Ne2 Kg8 27.Rh5 Qf7 28.c4 Ne7 29.Rxh8+ Bxh8 30.Qh3 Qh7 31.Qd7 Qh1+ 32.Kd2 Qxf3 33.Qf8+ Kh7 34.Qxe7+ Bg7 35.Qh4+ Bh6 36.Nc3 Kg6 37.Kc2 Qg2 38.Nd1 Qxe4+ 39.Kb3 Qd3 40.Nc3 b5 41.Qg4+ Bg5 42.cxb5 axb5 43.Qe6+ Kh5 44.a3 Qc4+ 45.Kc2 c5 46.Qe8+ Kg4 47.Qxb5 Qxb5 48.Nxb5 Kf3 49.Nxd6 ...aaaand nuff said. |

| Jun-20-08 | | twinlark: <mack>
I get the impression IM Hunt won the opening when your King side advance backfired with his King side pawn counter punches. By <16...Bf6>, quite frankly it looks like your arse was hanging out of some unpatched denims. But IM Hunt missed a chance to clean your clock there and then with 17.Bxf6 followed by 18.Qg2 (even 17.Bb5+ looks like it could rub you out), and all you have is a couple of Knights trying to cover your modesty while your queen side wardrobe is still unpacked. Once he played 17.Bf2, I thought your counter play was quite splendid, for a Londoner, although I'd have thought <22...0-0-0> might have been a bit better than <22...Nd7> One of the things I'm learning about returning to OTB is that when you're in a mode of operation, it's difficult to shift gears when the fortune changes for better or worse. When he played <26.Ne2>, you understandably biffed his rook with <26...Kg8>. But if you take the rook with <26...Rxh7 27.Qxh7> instead, then his queen at h7 is about as useful as a tit on a bull, allowing you to charge off with <27...Qb5 28.Nc3 Qf1+ 29.Nd1> which has to be at least equal. Can I ask why you didn't exchange rooks on the next move (<27..Rxh5> at least? It can't be healthy having so much heavy artillery around your King. <31...Qh1+> could have been met with <32.Ng1!>, winning! because he can clean up your queen side pawns, while you're defending your Knight. There seems to be a few mistakes on both sides from here...<32.Kd2> gave you time to defend your Knight with <32...Bf6> as now he can't clean up your queen side pawns because of your threat to his f3 (<33.Qxc7 Qxf3 34.Qxd6 Qxf2 35.Qxf6 f3 and you may even win from here).When you played <32...Qxf3>, did you overlook that he could win a piece with check? His <37.Kc2> was an amazing blunder that let you equalise with <37...Qg2!>.but the attack you dreamt up on the queen side starting with <39...Qd3> has to have been a complete phantom. Simply <39...Qg2!> (again!) threatening <40...Bg5> would have been more than enough to guarantee a draw (40.Qe7 Qf3+ 41.Nc3 (what else?) Qxf2> and he'll have to settle for a perpetual check on your King). Even so, with a piece down, you still had a defensible game of sorts with <45...Qf1>. Your actual move <45...c5??> is I imagine why you would be giving yourself an uppercut and a few slaps upside your head. Interestingly, he missed <46.Qh3+> followed by <47.b3> winning your queen, but still has enough to win, whatever you did. BTW, I'll probably never post one of my OTB games here as I fear your analytical retribution... |

I can see that the <Cohen Experience> has really charged you up. I'm very happy for you!!!!!
The inspiration you got from the show is obvious in your writing this week. Suffice it to say i have enjoyed your recent perorororororoations and have even half-digested them. I'm still tracking down some of the allusions, and hats off to you for making allusions that can;t easily be tracked down on GOOGLE. oops what a giveaway!!
Best regards,

Did you really put someone on <ignore list>? Ironically, I just set free the 3002 people I had on ignore, citing you as an example!! Ironic eh?
So who's on your ignore list? Is it me?
THAT WOULD BE DOUBLY IRONIC
