| Aug-28-08 | | achieve: <Who9opa> opa = grand-dad in dutch. Funny how typos can bring out the most wonderful, surprise "new constructions." Someone said/once once/said: "Don't worry about typos. I tend to regard them as beautiful accidents, magnificently surreal irruptions from the subconscious." And I tend to agree.
<brankat: What's so good about the miracles of modern "technology"?> Not *all* is "good", but I'm sure you can name a few 'benefits'? What's questionable, IMO, is *how* it's used by some, and to what end... "The End", to be more specific.

| Aug-28-08 | | Ziggurat: <jfq> I am also dreading my flight back ti Asia in 2 days (am in Sweden now) because I have 2 kids with limited impulse control with me ... Hope you get a nice flight with some juicy chess tome to hand. |
|
| Aug-28-08 | | BishopofBlunder: <brankat: What's so good about the miracles of modern "technology"?> It saves me a fortune in stamps...
Not to mention (though I am anyway), without it, I would never have become acquainted with my adopted love child, the glorious <QueenJessica> herself. |
|
| Aug-28-08 | | brankat: <achieve> Niels, on a less "philosophical" level: why don't You re-open Your forum? And try not to worry about the technology too much, together with some other things. |
|
| Aug-28-08 | | achieve: <My Dear Philosopher> Hi dakkie ;)<And try not to worry about the technology too much, together with some other things.> 'Technology' is a minor worry for me. <other things> What do you mean by that? But regardless, I am quite capable to deal with my worries and such. <My forum> I have good reason for that, and I spoke about those on various fora, though I do not have the links for you ;) AD FUNDUM!!

|
| Aug-28-08 | | achieve: <brankat> Jess posted a link some days ago, to girls with chess sets... I know you'll like those pictures! Takes your mind of daily/wordly worries, too. Albeit temporarily. All the best to you :) |

| Aug-28-08 | | mack: <St Deffi the Wise & the Blessed Jessica attended by Spanish Virgins and Backward Pawns> Lummy, is that what the band's called now? NME ain't gonna buy it. |
|
| Aug-28-08 | | Red October: the band is still <Jessica and the Frogspawns> featuring Red October who OD'd in August |
|
| Aug-28-08 | | achieve: <brankat> Here's to "modern technology": http://www.davincisurgery.com/proce... Thank You for caring. |

| | Domdaniel: <mack> Where have you been? Pop culture moves much faster these days -- that's not the band name, it's the title of the comeback album. The last one was a collection of Dylan and Neil Diamond 'medleys' -- <(Just Like) Dom Dumb's Blooze>. It bombed.
The 'band' is now called <Two Pretty Girls and a Potato>. |
|
| Aug-28-08 | | Open Defence: His name is Dommy.. he looks like a potato.....
|
|
| Aug-28-08 | | Mrs. Alekhine: In Germany, we ate a lot of potatoes during the World Wars. Turnips too. |
|
| Aug-28-08 | | Open Defence: erm.. we're not allowed to mention the war... <jess> did it once but she got away with it |
|

| | Domdaniel: I met *many* Germans today. We talked about war and amnesia and the things Austrians still do in basements. Luckily, the sun shone and the ducks quacked and the setting was beautiful -- otherwise I'd have a <Weltschmerz Tumour mitt Schadenfreude carbuncles> growing on my soul. If I *had* a soul. |

| Aug-28-08 | | Artar1: <jessicafischerqueen>: <That burning of the effigy is a crime against <Benko>, a crime against chess, and above all else, a crime against common sense. It is disgusting.> Ah, it was a joke. I've never been to a <NOW> meeting in my life, and besides they (the NOW people) probably don't even know who Paul Benko is, which is got to be even a bigger insult, right? By the way, didn't he invent Legos, or something? <Political Correctness police do their 'job' because they are not good at anything else.> You know, when I was younger, I wanted to be a "G-man." Does that count? You know..."I'm a <FEDERAL AGENT>! I'm armed!" I always liked it when <Fox Mulder> said that in the <X-Files> before he got the stuffings beat out of him. That part I didn't like, but then <Dana Scully> always seemed to take care of him! I was so disappointed to learn that they were not married in real life. It took something away from the whole story. I would have posted this reply on <brankat's> forum, but he banned anymore discussion about prostitution. That's too bad because I really got a rise out of it. Oops, that was politically incorrect! I guess there goes my career at the FBI! |

| | jessicafischerqueen: OK let's look for words that have the person who made them famous' name right in the word. <Dom> has given us the first example Shaden<freud>e.
"Laughing at the misfortune of others," as articulated in <Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious> Ok here are some more.
OK well I can't think of any right now |

| | Domdaniel: <Jess> Good game.
"Shake" was named after <Wm Shakespeare>, the 16th century dance instructor. "Wrong" was named after Jesuit Orality Theorist <Walter Ong>. "Buckyballs" were named for <Buckminster Fuller>'s tentacles. Is that the anatomical term? "Really" -- um, <Horace Grealey>? |

| | Domdaniel: - The word 'mayonnaise' comes from the song 'Mayonnaise have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord'... - Stuff and nonsense! Everybody knows it's named after the Mayo Clinic, where it was the only food served between 1883 and 1914, when a German nurse introduced Liverwurst. - Ridiculous! It's named after County Mayo in Ireland - the peasants used to spread it on a potato and hallucinate levitating saints. - Uh, excuse me? Marechal MacMahon ... ? |
