 | | Domdaniel: <Boomie> Wasn't there a cultural artefact of some sort called <Boomer's Story>? A sci-fi novel or a Ry Cooder record or something like that? I think 'Boomie' sounds like a younger version of 'Boomer', for what that's worth (no, *not* a Baby Boomer). Et je fais boycott de la Geugle, to be cool like Jess. And of course there wuz my old mates the Boom Town Rats. Well ... same town, same rodentine behaviour, close enough. Though, unlike Mr Geldof, I haven't collected any Saint norms yet. Call me, Ishmael. |

| Jan-22-08 | | Boomie: <Domdaniel: <Boomie> Wasn't there a cultural artefact of some sort called <Boomer's Story>? A sci-fi novel or a Ry Cooder record> Ry Cooder is my favorite acoustic/slide/what have you guitar player. I still listen to his collection of Depression era songs "Into the Purple Valley". He's flawless even when he clicks or buzzes it all seems to fit. But no, that's not the origin of my handle. Boomie was the name of my cat many years ago. The name describes his thunderous nether regions. Google that! |

| Jan-23-08 | | JoeWms: <chessmoron: The Joker is dead!> I am not! (Don't believe everything you read in the obituaries.) |

 | | jessicafischerqueen: Hi <Joe>! I thought <Bob Dylan> was the Joker. |

 | | WannaBe: Errr... <NO>!! <technical draw> and I are the Jokers, remember, there are 2 for every deck of cards. |

How the heck are you? |

| Jan-23-08 | | WBP: Hey <Jess> Thanks for gracing my house with your kind words. Believe me, I think of you guys all the time, even when I'm not looking in. I did look in ever so briefly this morning (I am tyring to follow Corus) and saw the dreadful position the Kid had against VW. I figured, OK, the Kid's busted, two in a row, now he'll drop huge points against the big boys here at the end of the tourny, and so on. You can imagine my schock when I tuned in later, between classes, and saw the dancing rook (which actually appears to have some kind of physiological issue--no thing, living, dead, or cartoon, should be allowed to move the way that thing does; gives me the creeps, even if it's cute)and "Carlsen Wins!" above it (or is it below it?). The Kid's still got his work cut out for him (and yes, he was lucky today--but he made his luck happen to some degree; and btw, I liked your comments regarding the uncertain ebb and flow of the game, the reluctance toward playing for the draw, the determined fight, and so on), but no matter how it finishes now, he's availed himself rather well. I'm teaching the Bigfoot class again. It filled up right away. Great to know you saw one! (Does Korea have a cryptid?) I never have such luck; all I constantly see is Neanderthals. Hope you don't mind, but since they all read your forum: Hi <Dom> <Eyal> <Niels> <Joe Wms> <Deffii> <Brankat> <Wilson> <Mack> <CC> <Wannabe>!!! Hope I didn't leave any "regulars" out. Hi to everyone else as well. I've had a few beers. Tough night. I was going to jump off a bridge, but a guy who says he was my guardian angel tried to save me. He actually showed me what the world would have been like if I'd never been born. It cost me $5,000, and the funny thing was that everyone I met somehow recognized me, even though I'd never been born, but now I'm OK with things, more or less. |

| Jan-24-08 | | Boomie: I coined a phrase that is gaining in popularity. "Any long line has an error in the first 4 moves." I just caught Thorsson using it. I think it's worth at least a Pulitzer and a nomination for the Nobel. |
|
| Jan-24-08 | | achieve: <Bill> The dancing Rook That was some seriously funny stuff!!
(And quite accurate IMO..)
"..gives me the creeps, even if it's cute" -- hehehe

| | Domdaniel: For the record, the <boomie>-ish sci-fi story that flitted thru my scrambled leg brain was possibly called "With the Bentfin Boomer Boys on Old New Alabama". Unless it was "Down the Digestive Tract and Into the Cosmos With Mantra, Tantra and Specklebang". Two great titles containing the word 'with'. Is Spassky the World Champion now? |
|

| | jessicafischerqueen: <for the record>
Once again <dom>, it's synchronicity. And yes, <Spassky> is indeed World Champion. However, neither him nor <Fischer> is even remotely as COOL as these two guys: <Yes, it's time to vote for the TWO <<<COOLEST MEN>>> OF THE 20th CENTURY!!> I'll tabulate the results after the voting.
FOR THE LOVE OF MIKE WOULD YOU LOOK AT THESE GUYS MOVE? First, <The King>:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WR7M...
Now, <The Godfather>: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPya...
Vote here in my forum. And yes, the nominations are CLOSED. Watch on full screen with volume LOUD for best effect, and to watch them shaky legs. Interestingly, of course, both <the King> and <the Godfather> enjoyed firearms and "keeping they hoes in line". Nobody-- and I mean nobody-- could wear either of these men's jockstraps. |

| Jan-24-08 | | Open Defence: So Spassky and Korchnoi could have a title match? my money is on Korchnoi |

| | jessicafischerqueen: Good grief they are giving me the shivers. Can you imagine how sexy their children would have been if they got married? I suppose they couldn't have in their day.
Happily, however, they could get married in Canada if they were still alive. |
|
| Jan-24-08 | | Open Defence: I vote for The Godfather of tha Ho Train
Play that Funky Music White Boy!!!! |
|

| | Domdaniel: Coolest man of the 20th century? Walt Disney. Who is allegedly deep-fruz in a cryogenics facility somewhere, and they don't come much cooler than that. Then there are the usual suspects: Dylan, Duchamp, John Cale and, er, Ray Keene. Otherwise, I vote for me, on accounta I visited the 20th century once. |
|
| Jan-25-08 | | Boomie: <JessArooo> There's a plane waiting to take us to Miami within an hour. <SMOOCH> I know it was you, Fido. You broke my heart. |
|
| Jan-25-08 | | weisyschwarz: Too bad Sean Connery wasn't one of your candidates. |
|
| Jan-26-08 | | Open Defence: Sean Connery, Hugh Jackman....... hmmmm |
|
| Jan-26-08 | | achieve: So this is where the "heh" comes from...

| Jan-26-08 | | Boomie: Dogbother: Do you spend time with your family?
Frankie: Sure I do.
Dogbother: Good. Because a dog that doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real dog. |
|
| Jan-26-08 | | Boomie: Priest: Michael Rizzi Corgioni, do you renounce kittens and all their works? Michael: I do renounce them. |

| | jessicafischerqueen: OK, OK...
<One More Day> of collecting votes for the <COOLEST MAN OF THE 20th CENTURY>. The final results will be posted tomorrow after <Ironing Board> wins <Corus> and the reboubtable <User: Davloni> gets to tell us about how <Armenia> gets a national holiday. And why not? They haven't had so much to cheer for since the great <Tigran Petrosian> crushed the world. Anyhoo... back to the contest.
Each vote counts as <"one">, meaning you can vote for more than one person, as some have done. ONE VOTE <The King> Deffi's allusion to the great "Night Train" counts as a vote ONE VOTE <Hugh Jackman>, whoever he is??? ONE VOTE <Walt Disney> (good grief) ONE VOTE <Eddie Murphy> ONE VOTE <Dom Daniel> (so far- I actually advised him to vote for himself several times) ONE VOTE EACH <All of Dom's personal fan favorite heroes, listed in his post-- including Ray Keene!> The "Keenster" should be pleased--though I doubt he's aware of this contest ONE VOTE <Fredo Corleone> TWO VOTES <Sean Connery> FIVE VOTES for <the Godfather>!! (although it has to be said only two of these were actually for "The Hardest Working Man in Show Business"). Two were for <Michael Corleone> and one for <Don Vito Corleone>. Sigh. Well I didn't specify "which Godfather".... Come to think of it, I didn't specify "which King" either. So we await the verdict tomorrow, more <insane> votes may come in... In the meantime, it is of some interest to note that ALL of the people who have garnered votes so far A: enjoy firearms
B: enjoy "keeping they hoes in line"
Ok I can't wait to find out the eventual winner.
The deal is already in place- the winner will appear on the next cover of either TIME or the NATIONAL ENQUIRER (depends on the highest bidder) |
|
| Jan-27-08 | | NakoSonorense: Yo, Jezz. I wazn't aware of thiz votin'. You shoulda told me before. My vote for THE COOLEST MAN OF THE 20th CENTURY goes to <Al Pacino> for the incredible Tango dance in "Scent of a woman." |
