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...

Not forgetting <curlicue> and <laryngitis>...
Aug-28-08  hms123: Ye Highlands and ye Lowlands,
Oh, where hae ye been?
They hae slain the Earl Amurray, [sic]
And Lady Mondegreen.
Aug-28-08  WBP: <Jess> Perhaps the Spanish name for Columbus--<Christopher Colon>--could figure into your new game.

  Domdaniel: <Bill> - <Chris Colon>

Intestinal fortitude - the stuff of which empires are built.

Aug-30-08  Boomie: <Domdaniel: <Bill> - <Chris Colon>>

If Chris were a truck driver, would that make him a semi-Colon?

Aug-30-08  hms123: I think that Lady Mondegreen's favorite hymn was "Gladly, the cross-eyed bear."
Aug-30-08  madlydeeply: According to Silman's Benko biography, when Benko was a young whippersnapper, he got into an altercation over a young lady at the beach, and he held the other fellah's head in the water to subdue him, successfully, and that fellah was a boxing champion. So don't mess with Benko.

  Domdaniel: <Boomie> Somebody on some other page described a move as "suburb". That's where we'll find the semi-detached semi-colons. As Mr Stanshall put it:

"My pink half of the drainpipe
Keeps me safe from you ..."

  Domdaniel: Mondegreens have been thoroughly analyzed by <Joe Wms> and me. I think we actually refuted them.

"Scuse me while I kiss this guy"

Aug-30-08  Open Defence: actually the Purple Haze would be a good name for a "happy" bar....
Aug-30-08  Open Defence: *philly*
Aug-30-08  WBP: cheese
Aug-30-08  Blako: steak
Aug-30-08  madlydeeply: wow that's eerie O.D. there is a "Happy Birthday" bar here in philly right by the world renown Cheese steak places (where Bill and Hilary eat their symbolic cheese steaks when they come through town) what the heck is going on is there a harmonic convergence happening here?

Ommm

  jessicafischerqueen: Help!

I'm in Korea and I just installed <Fritz 10> which I bought for the VIDEO TUTORIALS by famous players mainly.

And now I've discovered that I don't get full access to these tutorials?

Only a "sample"?

????

also, my PC wouldn't install "The turk" so I had to custom install it without that character.

I have to work tomorrow...

Ack

Aug-30-08  Boomie: <JessieKim> Oy ve. We are being buried in fine print. Damn them and the lawyers they rode in on.

  Domdaniel: <Jess> Ack, indeed. I'm *really* up at 6am this time, so I'm about to fall over. The Turk is a silly gimmick you don't need. I never got mine running and I don't care.

I'll send you a Turk about the Ostrich.

*falls over, but with impeccable style*

Applause begins, fades away. Cries of alarm. "Is there a doctor in the house?" - Omigod. Is he ... ?
"Let me through I'm a doctor".
- You don't look like no doctor meester.
"PhD, 1933, on Cabbages. Which are living creatures, you know. And going on my experience with them, I have to tell you that this man is ... - Dead?
- Asleep?
- A cabbage?
- A vegetable.

No, no, no. But somebody should water him and keep those slugs away....

G'night. I will Kommunikate.

Aug-31-08  hms123: <Dom> I believe it was Stephen Leacock (one of yours, <Jess>) who told of being on a cruise when a beautiful young woman fainted. The call for a "doctor in the house" went out. Leacock (a PhD in economics) said he rushed to the scene but was beaten out by two college professors and an archbishop.

  Domdaniel: <hms123> Indeed ... when I embarked on a PhD I always said that my ambition was to yell out "Let me through I'm a Doctor" -- but I never finished it. And people aren't so impressed by the letters PhD, never mind a solo P with a rough sketch for the 'h' and no idea about the 'D'.

There used to be government minister here called Dr Woods, in the days when medical doctors were looked up to. He always stressed it, and interviewers were expected to address him as 'doctor', and everyone assumed he was a medical man. Until it came out that he'd done a PhD on tomato cultivation. Was his face red? After that, very.

There's a lot to be said for the Italian system -- anyone who's ever read a book can expect to be called 'dottore' - no actual qualifications needed.

But I think 'professore' might be an insult, implying that you've gone too far and read *two* books.

  Domdaniel: <Battle of Little Known Fax> The name Purple Haze is actually a corruption of a news story from the 19th century. A certain person plotted to assassinate President (Rutherford) Hayes - Great-great-grandfather of Stargate's President Henry Hayes - and was apprehended. In the pre-PC language of the era he was dismissed as a 'madman', but the Prez himself intervened and said the man was merely 'sick'. This was reported with the immortal headline:

<Perp 'ill' - Hayes>

Scuse me while I kiss this goy ...

  Domdaniel: <Jess> Hope you're settling back in OK and all is well. I would like to say "Run away at any time and you can live in the South Wing of Castle Dom, playing chess by semaphore with me in the North Wing and the sheep in between..."

Unfortunately the castle is a bit up in the air at the moment.

Aug-31-08  mack: <when I embarked on a PhD I always said that my ambition was to yell out "Let me through I'm a Doctor" -- but I never finished it.>

Surely you mean that you've *yet* to finish it?

PhDs on the mind at the moment, me. Having just had a disproportionately large amount of money thrown at me to do one in three years, I'm rather hoping that I don't go the way of my father and have a mental breakdown two years in. Certainly, I'm going to have more than enough cash to develop a nice big drug habit, and I don't have to show that I've actually done any work until 18 months in. I was hoping to find a good counter-example of how to get a PhD done on this site, but knowing that not only my dad but the dad I always wanted (that's you) never saw things through, I'm getting a tad nervous.

  Domdaniel: <mack> That's sweet. I think the moment of truth for me was when I realized the method I used for my MA (take drugs & read books for two years while avoiding contact with the academic world, then bash out 30,000 words in six days and get a first) wasn't going to work a second time. So I ran away to become a film critic instead.

Life is more complex now. On the other hand, I believe the drugs are cheaper.
