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 512 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jul-29-09    Colonel Mortimer: I'm happy that you're not angry Jul-29-09    jessicafischerqueen: <Colonel Mortimer> I've just checked your resume, and I see that you are a mysterious fellow with many friends and few enemies. Are you in fact the fabled <Antoninus Pius>? I need to know. Do you have any more Sea Bass-related lore? Or, failing that, perhaps some Sea Bass-related recipes? Jul-29-09    Colonel Mortimer: You are quite wide of the mark my friend - I believe my detractors are as many. We have a species of Sea Bass here. I usually sear the fillets on the hot plate of the barbecue and serve with a French mustard dressing on top of rocket salad. Jul-29-09    jessicafischerqueen: That sounds superb. Did you know that <hms123> is a noted CG.com gourmand? He would know exactly which wine would best adorn your recipe. Left to my own devices, I might go with a bracing <Screaming Eagle Red- Now in Gallon Format>. But, like I said, it's <Howard> who is the expert. (I notice you just gave <Ed Trice> a spanking- I was happy to see that) Mrs. Sea Bass Jul-29-09    jessicafischerqueen: Is this a similar recipe? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep44... Jul-29-09    Colonel Mortimer: Sort of - the guy was 'gilling' the whole fish - I was talking searing the 'fillets' on a hot plate - subtle difference. Jul-29-09    jessicafischerqueen: Aha- I'm embarrassed to say I don't know what "gilling" is. I'd GOOGLE it, but I regard using GOOGLE to be "jejune." Listening to you and that other chap has got me peckish for fish. Jul-29-09    jessicafischerqueen: Did you know that they call fish "mool gogi" here in Korea? That literally means "Water Meat." They put Fish or Fish Sauce in everything here- even the breakfast cereal. Luckily, I adore fish, particularly the Goliath Sea Bass, which can grow up to eight feet long. Jul-29-09    Colonel Mortimer: Lets put an 'r' after the 'g' and we'll be on the same recipe. Jul-29-09    jessicafischerqueen: Ah grilling. I didn't even consider a typo- possibly because you put the word in quotations. I thought it was a specialized gourmet term. I should probably actually go out for a real fish dinner now but I've just found a Sea Bass recipe on youtube where they wrap it in a leaf with lemons and then bury it under the ground. I'm not sure what they will do next, but I'm certainly looking forward to finding out. Jul-29-09    Colonel Mortimer: Well that's a good method - one of the best. Even just wrapped in foil with some olive oil, lemon juice and spices/herbs of your choosing, cooked on bbq or in oven. That way the fish cooks in its own juices and stays moist, when grilling fish the juices drip away and it can become dry - but it does take on a nice bbq flavour. Jul-29-09    Domdaniel: <Jess>, darlin', you *know* we've been told not to use *bad language* here. So, um ... <I notice you just gave <Ed Trice> a spanking> ... is a great observation, but a couple of the words are a bit iffy. Nothing wrong with "I notice you just gave", of course. And personally I wouldn't object to "a spanking". Jul-29-09    jessicafischerqueen: <Dom> we don't have time to worry about details man. We are having an important discussion about <Sea Bass-related> recipes. Do you have any information on ancient Gaelic Sea Bass lore, or Sea Bass-related recipes? Jul-29-09    jessicafischerqueen: Eat them up, YUM! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKDt... Jul-29-09    Domdaniel: Oh, and good day to you, Colonel M. Some folk are drawn here because they use the search kibitzing function. But you, quite remarkably, seem to have been lured by the aroma of fish. You must have an incredible search algorithm. Have you thought of setting up a sort of smell-o-google thing? Making the net olfactory and you a zillionaire? You could call it <Colonel Mortimer's Kentucky Fried Smell Engine> ... or <Heaven Scent> ... or <Fish Net Tights> ... or .... I'll settle for 5%. Plus 5% for Jessica. Jul-29-09    jessicafischerqueen: I want 6% because becoming obsessed by Sea Bass was my idea Jul-29-09    Domdaniel: <Jess> The only Bass recipes I know involve beer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bass_B... Note the bits about Bass in art and Bass in Ireland. Since Bass was first brewed in Burton-on-Trent, and 'gone for a Burton' is slang for, well, dying, you could possibly argue that Bass is the British cultural equivalent of Fugu or blowfish sushi. Jul-29-09    Colonel Mortimer: Except you only ever get to down one Fugu in one. Jul-29-09    jessicafischerqueen: In the "Oxen of the Sun" episode of James Joyce's Ulysses, the medical students were drinking Bass in a pub near the maternity hospital. Joyce's intersection of various motifs utilises the triangle (Sicily, triangular island, home of Helios and his ox herds from the Odyssey) symbol from the label which represents Taurus (Alpha, a star in Taurus, Alpha also signifying beginning) or the Bull (oxen) a symbol for fertility (maternity). Jul-29-09    Domdaniel: "Anyone who can pick up a frying pan owns Death", as Alan Ansen said about William Burroughs. Burroughs also had a brother named Mortimer, aka Mort: which means 'death'. And in 'Ah Pook Was Here' we meet the character Mr Hart, of whom Burroughs wrote that he 'tried to use Death like a company cop'. As for 'owning' Death? Possibly Bill's dominance in a long-running chess rivalry between the Burroughs boys. Though I doubt it. Jul-29-09    Domdaniel: <Jess> Literary Jinx? Jul-29-09    jessicafischerqueen: Not really, since you actually wrote yours and I copy and pasted mine from the Wiki-article you just posted. But since we're on the subject- who will say a kind word for old <Sween Bass> up a tree, suspended half way between heaven and hell? Jul-29-09    Domdaniel: Sounds like a fish out of water to me. Jul-29-09    jessicafischerqueen: heh Not so- It is of course <At SWIM Two Birds> heh Jul-29-09    Domdaniel: Ah. So: <@ Bi-Avian Natation>. Which reminds me of a Myles/Flann/ Brian O Nuallain story I heard recently. In his later years he'd stay in the pub until thoroughly sozzled, then insist on being driven home to suburbia by only slightly less sozzled pals. On one such occasion, not surprisingly, they hit another car just as they reached Myles's home. Nobody was hurt, but Myles quickly scuttled into his house and slammed the door, leaving his friends to debate matters with the other driver. And the police, who arrived with suspicious speed. The argument grew heated. Then Myles, wearing pyjamas and a hat, appeared again at his door, and roared "Will yiz get outta here with yer noise and blather? This is a respectable neighborhood and decent people are tryin' to sleep." Slam. Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 963) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 512 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing>
