Jan-08-19 Domdaniel chessforum    Domdaniel: Blank Reg: "They said there was no future - well, this is it."      Jan-06-19 Kibitzer's Café    Domdaniel: Haaarry Neeeeds a Brutish Empire... https://youtu.be/ZioiHctAnac      Jan-06-19 G McCarthy vs M Kennefick, 1977    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 ...      Jan-06-19 Maurice Kennefick    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, ...      Jan-06-19 Anand vs J Fedorowicz, 1990    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 ...      Jan-06-19 chessgames.com chessforum    Domdaniel: <al wazir> - It's not easy to go back through past Holiday Present Hunts and discover useful information. Very few people have played regularly over the years -- even the players who are acknowledged as best, <SwitchingQuylthulg> and <MostlyAverageJoe> have now ...      Jan-05-19 Wesley So    Domdaniel: Wesley is a man of his word. Once again, I am impressed by his willingness to stick to commitments.      Jan-04-19 G Neave vs B Sadiku, 2013    Domdaniel: Moral: if you haven't encountered it before, take it seriously. Remember Miles beating Karpov with 1...a6 at Skara. Many so-called 'irregular' openings are quite playable.      Dec-30-18 Robert Enders vs S H Langer, 1968   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 ...      Dec-30-18 T Gelashvili vs T Khmiadashvili, 2001    Domdaniel: This is the game I mean: Bogoljubov vs Alekhine, 1922

Frogspawn: Levity's Rainbow

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 511 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jul-26-09    Boomie: Floyd's first hit with a great Syd song. Starts with a Doors sound and then takes off into uncharted territory. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH3p... Jul-26-09    Boomie: <Open Defence: once ya go Mac ya dont go back sistah> Especially if you get fries with that bad boy. Jul-26-09    jessicafischerqueen: <Tim> Group hug over at <Annie K> house- You might want to get in on this while it lasts, seeing as how you brought down the government and all. Jul-26-09    Domdaniel: <Ohio> I'd always wondered why you lot stuck with King George's Yard and the other imperial measurements. Wouldn't following revolutionary France have been more, well, revolutionary? Here in Ireland, thanks to generous subsidies - aka bribes - we went metric. My generation can usually think in either system, but anyone older than 50 is stuck with miles/pounds/pints and anyone under 35 has never heard of them. Complications ensue. Didn't one of the EU/USA Mars landers fail because somebody confused yards with meters? Jul-26-09    Domdaniel: "Bring doon the government Bring it to its knees If you want your rights You're going to have to fight So bring down the government please". Argh. That's by Lindisfarne, and I wouldn't advise anyone to listen to the 20-minute live-in-Newcastle version from the mid-70s. Sometimes my capacity for storing song lyrics terrifies me. Jul-27-09    OhioChessFan: <I'd always wondered why you lot stuck with King George's Yard and the other imperial measurements. Wouldn't following revolutionary France have been more, well, revolutionary?> Following France's lead in anything is pretty distasteful to most Americans. Besides that, England's language and measurements are top rate. And that revolution stuff was really forced on us. You can read about it in this historical document called The Overstated Declaration of This and That. <Didn't one of the EU/USA Mars landers fail because somebody confused yards with meters?> I think that's true, though I've never Snoped it. Jul-27-09    Domdaniel: <And that revolution stuff was really forced on us.> "We never got it off on that revolution stuff", as Mr Bowie put it in <Tom Jefferson and All the Young Dudes>. Or something like that. I can only communicate in song lyrics at the moment. Probably a side-effect of Cohen exposure. "It's coming to America first It's there they've got the best and got the worst It's there they've got the range And the machinery for change It's there they got the spiritual thirst... Democracy is coming To the USA..." Jul-27-09    Domdaniel: It's changed again. This week we're in <Frogspawn 2: Wrath of the Swarm>. As is becoming customary, I'll offer a token explanation. One meaning of the *original* Frogspawn was an allusion to the French Defence. This is the sequel. Like all good sequels, it zeroes in on some aspect of the original which was never fully explained. Hence the Swarm: 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e5 c5 5.a3 Ba5 ... which goes by several names, but I prefer to compound its Swiss and Armenian roots. Wrath was a word I heard in a movie. Sounded good. And I was running out of character space. Heh. Story of my life. Running out of character space ... Jul-27-09    Domdaniel: No offence intended to any hegemonizing swarms in the galactic vicinity. Naturally. The French never *intends* offence. It just takes its chances as it finds 'em. Jul-27-09    Open Defence: <Domdaniel: <Deffi> Not always. *I* made the reverse journey. After about 15 happy years as a Mac user, one day this PC dealer sidled up to me and ... well, you know how *that* story goes.> <Dom> you probably enjoy a good hang.... I bet the <ctrl-alt-del> keys are your secret fetish Jul-27-09    Domdaniel: <Deffi> - < you probably enjoy a good hang.... I bet the <ctrl-alt-del> keys are your secret fetish> That was last year. I've moved on to daily system crashes and yanking the power cord. But it's just the karmic wheel doing its thing: payback for my trouble-free years with the Macs. And, what? Only *one* secret fetish allowed now? Jul-27-09    Open Defence: to boldy go where no frog has gone before... <We are the SWARM... persistence is purile> Jul-27-09    Domdaniel: <persistence is purile> Pure me, then. Pure lethal me. Jul-27-09    Open Defence: and I thought I could spell Jul-27-09    Domdaniel: <Deffi> Well, you do a good hex ... Jul-27-09    Open Defence: do ya think i'm hexy ? Jul-27-09    twinlark: Too hexy for this cake walk. Jul-27-09    Domdaniel: Pooch-in-shades speaks truth. Jul-28-09    jessicafischerqueen: <Dom> Have you considered the "Sea Bass as he is today?" Just thought I'd remind you. It's important. Jul-28-09    jessicafischerqueen: The black sea bass (Centropristis striata) is an exclusively marine fish. It is a type of Grouper (Serranidae) found more commonly in northern than in southern ranges. It inhabits the coasts from Maine to NE Florida and the eastern Gulf of Mexico. They are most abundant off the waters of New York. They can be found in inshore waters (bays and sounds) and offshore in waters up to a depth of 130 m (425'). They spend most of their time close to the sea floor and are often congregated around bottom formations such as rocks, man-made reefs, wrecks, jetties, piers, and bridge pilings. Jul-29-09    Red October: is this different from the Bootsy Collins Bass (Psychedelius Funkius) ? Jul-29-09    Domdaniel: Or the <Pint o' Bass>? The <Big Bass Drum>? Or the <Basso Profundi> who does not bark, and knows the secrets of the deep. Jul-29-09    jessicafischerqueen: Have you ever had a pint at the <Fox and Sea Bass>? Jul-29-09    Colonel Mortimer: David Attenborough:"...and here we find the happy basstics in their natural element - bottom feeders minding their own business...at this depth they have no natural predators, at liberty to act as their want." Jul-29-09    jessicafischerqueen: Hello <Colonel Mortimor>! You know I'd be angry at that slight to my people, except for the fact that <David Attenborough> clearly has the coolest English accent ever. I'd marry him if I weren't already married to a Sea Bass, and if <David> weren't 130 years old now. He was sure great on that <History of Every Single Animal Ever> documentary series though.
