| May-28-07 | | Eyal: Am reserving two tickets for you for my premiere. Come and bring a friend - if you have one. <G.B.Shaw to Winston Churchill> Impossible to be present for the first performance. Will attend second - if there is one. <Churchill's reply> ---
If I were married to you, I'd put poison in your coffee. <Lady Astor to Winston Churchill> If you were my wife, I'd drink it.
<Churchill's reply>

| May-28-07 | | WBP: <frinds> "Friends" Nothing ruins a good line like a typo! |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: <Eyal> <Churchill> has a sense of humor, no doubt. Those are bloody hilarious exchanges. Plus member when I was reading his <Birth of Britain> and he devotes several passages to <Robin Hood> as if it were indisputable fact? He was an arch ironist as well as a serious writer, a great combination IMO. Like Plato, in a way.
BTW I know I have 6000 recommendations of yours to read this summer and haven't bin to liberry yet, but I think you would LOVE <K's> <Irony in the time of Socrates>. Just saying. |

| May-28-07 | | WBP: Late in his life, G.B. Shaw went to a party. An elderly woman came rushing up to him, blushing, and stood before him. "Mr. Shaw," she said, "don't you remember me? You once asked me to marry you!" "I see," said Shaw. "And tell me, did you?"
Orson Welles was once at a party in Washington D.C. He'd been invited as a trophy guest--he knew almost no one and was conspicuously having a bad time. The upper-echelon hostess, eager not to lose her prize, walked over to him (he was in a corner or something), and sizing him up, began patting his enormous stomach. "Now, now, Mr. Welles. What a stomach we're showing. We'd know what to think if we saw a stomach like that on a twenty-year-old woman, wouldn't we?" Welles took the cigar from his mouth and said, "Madam, half an hour ago, that stomach was on a twenty-year-old woman." |

| May-28-07 | | WBP: <Jess> <1. e4>: I dare ya!> What's this? |
|
| May-28-07 | | Plato: I love those two Churchill quotes.
<JFQ> Yes, but groveling regarding the Cavs is only if they win the whole championship (because you declined my Pistons/Cavs bet). So the only one who might have to grovel is me. But if it turns out to be Spurs-Pistons and the Spurs win in the championship, I'll still claim (reduced) gloating privileges, since that was my bet after the Suns were *robbed* and defeated! I'm sorry, but I will have to decline the tie clause regarding Anand v Kramnik. There's not much for me to gain but much dignity to lose! |
|
| May-28-07 | | WBP: <I've poste 50,0203 times about nott wroeying boute tipos> Are you turning into <Bufon> (at least in so far as I know anything about him)? |
|
May-28-07
| | jessicafischerqueen: <Platon> agreed then! |
|
May-28-07
| | jessicafischerqueen: Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill.
You have 3 identities, and that's just the three we know of!! For al yu knowe, I ame <Bufon>!! God Bless this mess of the Internet.
<1.e4> was impulsive, ever since I posted it I've lived in fear of you posting <1...c5> and having to make a decision- Luckily I have four other games to finish, two just started... Whew! |
|
| May-28-07 | | Eyal: Ok, last one for the moment:
You will either die on the gallows or of a loathsome disease. <John Montague to John Wilkes> That depends on whether I embrace your principles or your mistress. <Wilkes in reply>

| | jessicafischerqueen: <Eyal> that's a howler!! Thanks to you guys I've been laughing almost continuously for two hours now. Catch you later <Eyal the Cat> |
|
| May-28-07 | | WBP: <Jess> <Luckily I have four other games to finish, two just started...> Yeah, that's what I thought.Plus, you've the grovel/grudge thing with <Plato> coming up, which I can imagine will sap some of your time and energies (not to mention legal resources). I can wait! BTW, did you see my earlier post--about the misquotation in your Favorite Kibbutzers section? |
|
May-28-07
| | jessicafischerqueen: <Bill> yes, thank you and of course you are correct!! the original quote is better. off to update profile.
I'll explain on the way, <Robin> no time! |
|
May-28-07
| | jessicafischerqueen: Whew! Plus, thanks for "letting me off the hook," <Mr. Morphy> Sigh of relief |
|
May-28-07
| | jessicafischerqueen: <Robin> I have made the requested adjustment. Excelsior! |
|
May-28-07
| | jessicafischerqueen: <Tactic> I play <7.Bd3> Ever get the funny feeling these exact moves have been played before? Just wondering.
Btw say "goodbye" to your kingside now, just to let you know what's coming. I'll be castling Queenside shortly and flinging every piece I have at your king in a totally random and impulsive fashion. Jess of the likes to attack |

| | jessicafischerqueen: Yo <Durango> you skeered of my "stunning novelty" <Be2>? You should be, you should be... |
|
| May-28-07 | | twinlark: Hey Jess! Young Judit needs some lessons in aggression. You available? |
|
May-28-07
| | jessicafischerqueen: Hey <di-avian canine avec shades> You've been "popping" up lately! Always excellent to see you.
I think she's just rusty. I bet on her for <gloating privileges> against <Plato>, but I fear she's not going to get past the first match here. Cave Canem! |
|
May-28-07
| | jessicafischerqueen: BTW, <engoggled one>, is <Dom> staying at your gaff in Oz? He's scarpered!
Jess of the has read way too many VIZ comics. |
|
| May-28-07 | | twinlark: Nah...he seems to have gone on the wallaby, but hopefully not on a spiky monotreme. |
|
May-28-07
| | jessicafischerqueen: To quote you, are you <echidna> me? |
|
| May-28-07 | | Plato: <jfq> You didn't bet on her against me. I also picked her to win this match, if I remember correctly. I don't think lack of aggression is her problem... traditionally she has been one of the most aggressive super-GMs. The main problem seems to be sub-par opening preparation (relative to other top GMs, of course). It was first noticeable in San Luis 2005 and it seems to remain the case in these candidates matches, at least if the first two games are any indication. But the match is far from over! Regardless of who wins, though, I don't see either of them getting past Leko in the next round (assuming Leko will defeat Gurevich, which is likely). |
