   Jan-06-19 G McCarthy vs M Kennefick, 1977 (replies)
 
Domdaniel: Maurice Kennefick died over the new year, 2018-2019. RIP. It was many years since I spoke to him. He gave up chess, I reckon, towards the end of the 80s, though even after that he was sometimes lured out for club games. I still regard this game, even after so many years, as the ...

Domdaniel: Kennefick died over the 2018-19 New Year. Formerly one of the strongest players in Ireland, he was the first winner of the Mulcahy tournament, held in honour of E.N. Mulcahy, a former Irish champion who died in a plane crash. I played Kennefick just once, and had a freakish win, ...

Domdaniel: <NBZ> -- Thanks, NBZ. Enjoy your chortle. Apropos nothing in particular, did you know that the word 'chortle' was coined by Lewis Carroll, author of 'Alice in Wonderland'? I once edited a magazine called Alice, so I can claim a connection. 'Chortle' requires the jamming ...

Domdaniel: <HMM> - Heh, well, yes. I also remembered that Chuck Berry had a hit with 'My Ding-a-ling' in the 1970s. I'm not sure which is saddest -- that the author of Johnny B. Goode and Memphis Tennessee and Teenage Wedding - among other short masterpieces - should sink to such ...

  jessicafischerqueen: <Dom> have you seen the controversial remake with the unfortunate title

<Where Beagles Dare>?

They've kept the plot the same, but now it's animated and all the characters are dogs.

<Bruce Willis> had to do the voice for the <Clint Eastwood> character, however, because Clint was off directing yet another <bleeding heart> liberal Oscar-bait two-hour film sucking up to Asian Americans.

I wonder why he's been on that wagon recently?

Maybe he's in love with <Woody Allen's> wife or something.

(apologies to <Woody Wood Pusher>, who may or may not have an Asian wife)

Dec-14-08  Woody Wood Pusher: <I think you should go for some more "zaftig" types--

<Roseanne Barr>, for example.>

Hmmm something about that word 'types' is uncomfortable.

Kidman has a natural grace and elegance about her, and she seems sincere and good natured as well. Especially in pictures of her with her new baby. Her 'type' isn't that important.

There are plenty of stars of the same 'type' who I absolutely detest.

  jessicafischerqueen: I don't want to rain on your parade, my dear <Wood>...

But isn't there a rule that anything <Tom Cruise> can do, <Wood> can do better?

Dec-14-08  Woody Wood Pusher: <But isn't there a rule that anything <Tom Cruise> can do, <Wood> can do better?>

Looking at how well Cruise ruined his marriage, and then became a general fruit-cake, I hope not.

Premium Chessgames Member
  jessicafischerqueen: heh- they certainly gave him a hard time on <South Park>...

Cruise's lawyers successfully bullied the Comedy Network not to <re-air> the Cruise episode.

However, humorously, it has been seen millions of times on the Internet.

It's a great episode--

Almost as good as their <Mormon> episode.

However, he was very good in <The Color of Squabs>, directed by the formidable <Martin Squabcese>...

And, contrary to the critics and moviegoers, I liked his performance with your beloved <Kid Gloves> in <Stanley Squabrick's> last film, <Squabs Wide Shut>- Which I've watched three times.

Dec-14-08  Woody Wood Pusher: Yea I agree. I'm actually beginning to feel a bit sorry for old Tommy (not that he needs any sympathy because he has more money than I would see with 10 lifetimes)

I do like those pictures of him with Suri though, he is lucky to have such a beautiful little daughter.

  Domdaniel: <Woody> Yes. I believe the current Nic Kidman is more generally attractive than the giggly young neophyte and Cruise appendage I met so many years ago.

This rule does not always hold. The current Grace Kelly, for instance, is somewhat less attractive than the one who starred in Hitchcock movies. Being dead does that, I find.

<Jess> There are other temporal theories. One says that the universe has already expanded to the point where life is almost impossible, and we're living in a simulation designed to rerun the history of the 'old' universe.

If you hear a tree falling in the forest, listen carefully for the laughter track.

Dec-14-08
Premium Chessgames Member
  Domdaniel: <Jess> Ah yes, the <She's spoken for> theory of God. So, as in the movie <Dogma>, you believe she's Alanis Morissette?

  Open Defence: what about my Frog ? has Frogspawn moved and left no forwarding address ?
Dec-14-08
Premium Chessgames Member
  Domdaniel: This is the forwarding address. All Frogs are temporarily croaked until we figure out this strange loop.

Our technicians are working on it Knight and Lawrence.

Dec-14-08
Premium Chessgames Member
  jessicafischerqueen: Alanis is not only Canadian, she was the best part of that movie.

Don't get me wrong== I'm an admirer of <Batt Damefleck> as a producing team and all=around <Sarah Palin despising> coupla "plain folk."

However, in <Dogma>, it seems as if they wrote the screenplay in one night while getting drunk in the kitchen giggling at each other.

On the bright side, Disney is remaking this film, but they are calling it

<Dogman>.

And yes, again the plot remains unchanged but all the characters are now animated dogs.

The real innovation is that <Ben's> character's voice will be provided by a real dog.

Early focus group reactions indicate this was a <smart move>, to quote "industry insiders."

As an "industry insider," I thought you might appreciate this news.

Dec-15-08  Woody Wood Pusher: <Dom> <Cruise appendage>

haha

Nightmares for the rest of the week then.

<This rule does not always hold. The current Grace Kelly, for instance, is somewhat less attractive than the one who starred in Hitchcock movies. Being dead does that, I find.>

True, but when Margaret Thatcher dies she will actually become more attractive I believe.

This is getting confusing.

  jessicafischerqueen: HAHAHAAH

Yes the <Dead Thatcher> paradox surely applies to <Courtney Squab> as well, no?

The photographic evidence is in your forum.

It's pretty extreme when a young, healthy woman looks considerably more disgusting than a <dead pigeon with its head shot off>.

Dec-15-08  Woody Wood Pusher: hahaha <Dead Thatcher Paradox> nice one!

<It's pretty extreme when a young, healthy woman looks considerably more disgusting than a <dead pigeon with its head shot off>>

You said it, maybe they should make that into a poster campaign warning about plastic surgery.

Priscilla Presley could also have a walk on part as well.

Dec-15-08
Premium Chessgames Member
  Domdaniel: Ah, Priscilla. Now, she was scary. She must have been about 50 when I met her - not, um, that there's anything wrong with that - but she looked 30 at most. The glossy sleek youthfulness that money can buy.
Dec-15-08  Woody Wood Pusher: Wow <Dom> you never cease to amaze me!

You met Priscilla!?

She still looked great in the Naked Gun Movies of the late 80's early 90's and she must have been about 40 odd then?

Since 2000 though she has really fallen apart...all that surgery had to tell sometime or other I guess.

Did you interview her or something?

What was she like? Or had she Botoxed her personality as well by then?

At this rate, my premium membership extends into the middle of 2010. You may have to put up with me for some time.

  OhioChessFan: <Dom> after a careful search of Chessforum Configuration Page I think the 8th header choice would be most apropos for this forum.

  Domdaniel: <Ohio>! I'd just read your typically cogent points about liberals (discoveries by) and wars (cost of) over in the kib cafe, and was wondering whether I should reply. Now I can do so right here at home, so I will.

Would you agree that the "war is expensive" discovery is actually a recent development? Historically, raping and looting and such were part of the prize, and war could be profitable. Now, however, victors are expected to act in a civilized manner.

I don't know who to blame for this - liberal Americans? Geneva conventions? The U.N.?

If war ceases to be profitable, only lunatics and fundamentalists will still wage it.

And that's why chess was invented.

  Domdaniel: I see that <Jessica> has also been haunting the Kib Cafe. Is it cool to hang out there again, or what?

  OhioChessFan: <Would you agree that the "war is expensive" discovery is actually a recent development? >

No. The Romans had a good handle on that one.

<Now, however, victors are expected to act in a civilized manner.>

Good thing, or wars would be really dangerous. (Note: That line is from a great Nam novel I read, sort of a My Lai recounting. I think the title was "Word of Honor") I would disagree with your claim, since the waste product nations of the Middle East are routinely excused for their barbaric acts of war against nightclubs and malls in Israel. I think the democracies of the world are expected to behave in a civilized manner.

<If war ceases to be profitable, only lunatics and fundamentalists will still wage it.>

By what stretch of the imagination could the US have thought Iraq would be (economically) profitable? It's in fact the lunatics and fundamentalists who creat the climate that leads to war. An obvious but simple exercise in figuring out who the problem is. Could you name a democracy in the last 100 years who was at war with another democracy? Could you name another 2 nations with an undefended border as long as the US and Canada have and have zero concerns about military actions?

  OhioChessFan: 2 points for using cogent in a mocking manner by the way. It did get a laugh from me.

I don't know if dear Jess can make chess itself cool, but she just might make the KC a jumping place. If we got Open Defence there too...

Reminds me of the short story in Chernev's infamous book. 10-1 you know it.
