Interestingly, the informal "street bosses" who step up to occupy the positions of defunded police street ...      Sep-07-22 Susan Freeman chessforum    jessicafischerqueen: <z> I remember that, unless there was more than one "that" and I missed a few. I recall him flooding the forum with passages from Goethe in order to enrage <Travis Bickle> or; and/or; <Hozza>. Mephistopholes was the work in question. He posted a new ...      Aug-30-22 chessgames.com chessforum    jessicafischerqueen: <OhioMissScarlettFan> I agree with your sentiment here: <OhioChessFan: <Missy> I appreciate your measured tone throughout this. And I agree a very high % of the time with what you're saying. Really, you're mostly saying what I am already thinking.>      Aug-28-22 perfidious chessforum    jessicafischerqueen: Your over there regimen sounds salubrious! Interestingly, in Canada we save time by spelling "music and poker" as "moker." Initially we spelled it "poomus" but that sounded a little too declasse, even for us...      Aug-24-22 Kibitzer's Café    jessicafischerqueen: So the Pacific Ocean can play a boat at chess! Nice one      Aug-24-22 Charles Kalme    jessicafischerqueen: <wwall: Kalme did not win the 1954 US Junior championship. Ross Siemms won in 1954. scoring 7.5.

ARCHIVED POSTS < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 291 OF 801 ·  Later Kibitzing> Aug-28-07    Tactic101: Hello Jess! How on earth are you?!?!? :) Congrats on your milestone! And wish you many more! Aug-28-07    brankat: Jessica said earlier she was not going to the Internet connection for up to about 2 weeks. Aug-28-07    Tactic101: <brankat> Sorry, my mistake. Not been keeping up with the news here. All the same, I wonder what will go on in this forum while she's gone...... :) Aug-28-07    brankat: <Tactic101> Try spamming! Otherwise <chessmoron> will take over the second place :-) Aug-28-07    Tactic101: LOL. :) Aug-28-07    Domdaniel: Hmm. I guess the kayak speaks fluent Canadian by now... next up, the kayakers. Aug-28-07    WannaBe: Great, we're gonna get a bunch of Koreans running around, speaking English with a Canadian accent. And ending all their questions with <aye?> While you're there, teach them ice hockey and curling too! :-) Aug-29-07    brankat: Poor Jess! Must be suffering tremendously, for not being able to log on :-) Aug-31-07    jessicafischerqueen: ack help! Aug-31-07    Eyal: Jess!! What's up? Aug-31-07    jessicafischerqueen: hi cappin I'm in Ping Pong. There are a lot of pigs and cows here. I don't have my internet connection yet. I can't get if till I get my alien registration card. So I'm trying to play chess piggybacking on someone else's signal in my "hut" here. Yahoo lets me sign in and open a table, but the lag in moving is so bad I can't even play. sigh. How are you doing? Aug-31-07    Eyal: Hey, I'm ok. It's good hearing from you - I gather you're still in the "orientation" stage. Hopefully you're having fun there, at least as much as possible without constant internet connection and playing chess... Are there any <shoats> around? Aug-31-07    jessicafischerqueen: heh you said "orient" ation. I am in Rural Korea. The main street is less than one lane wide. No cars. It is lined with people selling things outside their stores, laughing and talking. Not one person in this village speaks English except me and my "co teacher" at the school. She wants to trade Korean lessons with me, but she wants me to teach her French rather than English. Who knew? The students mobbed me, they know phrases they have heard on MTV. This is like the Medieval age except with internet and cable TV. no flush toilets here. You have to collect things in buckets and empty them each morning around dawn. Then big trucks come. People here are materially impoverished, but everyone has cable and internet. The kids have not seen any foreigners before except on TV. When I go to school, they line up at the windows and shout HELLO TEACHER and giggle. Heh Aug-31-07    jessicafischerqueen: There are many, many shoats here. Many of them are skinned and barbcued and hanging in shop windows. Aug-31-07    Eyal: Oh - so is this where you're going to be teaching? Sounds like true village life, totally different from what you experienced at Daegu... Aug-31-07    jessicafischerqueen: yes it is Cappin. I already taught today. I have to go meet the new principal tomorrow morning as he has a special ceremony. We drink green tea and eat lots of kimchi here. there are insects the size of dinosaurs. Aug-31-07    Domdaniel: <Jess> Dunno about teaching, but you're a genius travel writer. Brilliant. Keep it up... Funny. I think that's the same as the first thing I ever 'said' to you. Plus ca change... [French for 'gimme some change'] Aug-31-07    Eyal: <you're a genius travel writer. Brilliant. Keep it up> Ditto. <I'm in Ping Pong> Really? Funny, that's another name for table tennis, which should be very popular in Korea (though reportedly they call it <Tak-gu> there). Aug-31-07    brankat: <jessicaFischerqueen> Hi Jessica. Great to hear from You again! It sure sound like Your new lifestyle is very interesting, and You enjoy it. Are You actually going to stay in the village, rather than go back to Daegu? Or is this just a part of the (dis)-orientation program? :-) Aug-31-07    mack: <She wants to trade Korean lessons with me, but she wants me to teach her French rather than English. Who knew?> She wants you to teach her the French? Point her towards Frogspawn... Aug-31-07    jessicafischerqueen: Hi <Branko>! Thank you, yes, its really one of those "enjoy" it or else situations. Luckily I'm not a loudmouth. No one to talk to until I learn Korean! Aug-31-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Mack> will do, but it's no go I'm afraid. Contrary to my "previous intelligence", there is no chess here, at my school or village. There is, however, a 24 hour channel devoted entirely to the analysis of Master Level Korean chess games. In Korean. It looks fascinating, to tell you the truth. No French Defence there. But there is a "Pig" and a "Cow" defence (not kidding). Aug-31-07    Ragh: <Jess> Feel rejuvenated about posting here after a much needed long break? (you know reaching 10K posts is always a stressful milestone). <Luckily I'm not a loudmouth.> LOL Aug-31-07    jessicafischerqueen: Hi RAH! We may have to switch our match to Korean chess, so be sure to bone up on it. They have a river in the middle of the board. Aug-31-07    WBP: Hi <Jess>. Hope all's well. Great to hear that you're in the midst of such an amazing experience. <People here are materially impoverished, but everyone has cable and internet> So much like northern New Mexico, where you can drive through tiny mountain towns and see, amid the moxt extreme poverty, satellite dishes on most of the houses.
