| Dec-02-08 | | malthrope: OK you two! ;)
<achieve: True - heh - <Mal> even had a tete-a-tete with the Chief admin at the Chessgames Page to have them extend the bit size (doh) of the profile section... At least that's what I remember from earlier this year... He just did NOT quit til he got what he wanted!
(Priceless...)>
and...
<JFQ: <CG.com> is no match for <Mal>-- Think about it--
The things in his Profile are EXACTLY the kind of thing that makes the website worthwhile to begin with.> You keep this up and I'll be wearing my <sheepish grin exposed again> all month long! ~lol~ Plus, looking back in the archives here see that I missed the last great puzzle combo. :(( Sheesh! Or, should I say - Darn! <grin> :^) - Mal |

| Dec-02-08 | | achieve: <You keep this up and I'll be wearing my <sheepish grin exposed again> all month long!> You better be!! Right into the New Year! There are some very fine puzzles posted from the old Masters of Positional play... "Hors Category" |

Niels - it's an old saying... :) I'll check the phrase in Google. However, I believe it's just that there is no voting necessary (hands up to vote) and thus 'hands down' requires no voting whatsoever it's unanimous! ;) Checking <"hands down" + phrase> I get this, 'The Phrase Finder - Win hands down' // http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/... Meaning: Win easily, with little effort.
Origin: Many phrases have originated as jargon in the world of sport. Looks like it's first quoted in the horse racing world ('Pips' Lyrics & Lays, 1867). Then later it began to be used in a figurative sense, to denote an easy win in other contexts, from the early 20th century. Learn something new everyday... <grin> That should do it! :^) - Mal |
|
| Dec-02-08 | | achieve: <Mal> Of course - I know the phrase! ROFL!
I invented the pun given the word combination (in Dutch too), and let you take the blame - and will now go to the corner and be bad.... ;))) |
|
| Dec-02-08 | | achieve: PS/BTW - the "triple tongue-in-cheek" is hard to convey via this medium, though I guess the young'uns have found a solution for that too !? heh |
|
| Dec-02-08 | | malthrope: <achieve: <Mal> Of course - I know the phrase!
ROFL!>
Whoops! And, I fell ('dumped' is a better word) right into it! ^duh^ ~ROFPIMPLMAO~ <sheepish grin> Jess is gonna have a field day with this one! ~lol~ |
|
| Dec-02-08 | | malthrope: PS: http://www.field-day.com
Believe it or not this link actually works! Kind of... <grin> ~lol~ ;) |
|
| Dec-02-08 | | achieve: <Jess is gonna have a <<<field day>>> with this one! ~lol~> Please allow me another (last one)quirck:
To quote Jess:
"A dog can save your life in the field, any day!"
Who knew?
(we love the silly catch phrases ;))
|
|
| Dec-02-08 | | achieve: <Believe it or not this link actually works! Kind of... <grin> ~lol~ ;)> Yes it does!
hehe
It's croakin' outta control in here!!
|
|
| Dec-02-08 | | malthrope: At the rate we're going Jess will be up to 500 jam packed pages in her Chessforum before she even knows it! ~lol~ PS: Don't you be thinking either that my valiant efforts to have made 3,000 posts in anyway influences the true ideals and concepts of all my previous posts made here! <grin> ;) PS: On a hunch... http://jam-packed.com
Time to start a jam & jelly website! xD
|
|
| Dec-02-08 | | achieve: WHOAAAH!!
<xD> indeed!
(Jam & Jelly... hehe
Don't worry buddy, you're right up there with the best of them, in my book!) [ English is a succesion of catch phrases - goodness me...] |
|
| Dec-02-08 | | malthrope: <achieve: WHOAAAH!!
<xD> indeed!
(Jam & Jelly... hehe>
I'll refrain from any further URL hunches, atm. Although, a simple test inserting the word 'cream' in the hyperlink is very tempting! ;) I'd probably get millions of links! ~lol~
OK Mal - calm down remember this is a family run website... PS: I wonder if 'half & half' would work just as well? Nah! |

| Dec-02-08 | | Woody Wood Pusher: I just posted my nominations, that bundle of chess-bucks you passed me the other day put you in good shape <JFQ>! |

| Dec-02-08 | | Travis Bickle: <jessicafischerqueen> Here in my opinion is Elvis's greatness song and his 1968 comeback show was his best ever performance.
Your friend,

| Dec-02-08 | | Pyke: Something I found in reference to this forum:
From the Kibitzers Café, December 2nd:
<technical draw: ... I need those <intellectuals> from the the DomDaniel, JFQ, and OD forums. ...> Does he really mean us?! I guess there has to be a mistake in somewhere ... |

| Dec-02-08 | | hms123: <jess> A highly-intellectual emu is wandering your way. It is wearing horned-rim glasses and a very pointy hat. Yours,

| Dec-02-08 | | Woody Wood Pusher: < hms123: <jess> A highly-intellectual emu is wandering your way.

|
| Dec-02-08 | | Open Defence: <would be a nice change from random porn adverts and invites to Gay-Black-Dating sites> you gotta stop advertising your forum as the Mate in 2! :) |
