Nov-10-25 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: Probably same as Black Sox (Oh, sorry, African-American Sox) or Pete Rose or Astros cheating vs LAD...

Just read fews months ago. Very focused on his illness, and how affected him, showing basically that he fought against the disease since half of his career (since around 82). Tough but nice reading.> I just learned, via google, that he was born in Tanzania! I am shocked! I of course assumed he was American. Nov-19-18    WannaBe: Finished a wonderful book last night: "The Spy and the Traitor" by Ben MacIntyre. https://www.amazon.com/Spy-Traitor-... If you like these kind of books, I would recommend it. Dec-02-18    WannaBe: Got the chance to see Bohemian Rhapsody this afternoon. Solid B+ movie. (I am a tough critique) Dec-02-18    WannaBe: Oh, I think I caught 2 Easter Eggs in the movie, probably out of the 200 that was in there. There was a scene during a party, two women riding stationary bicycles. With their rear-ends pointed at the camera, slightly off to the side of the shot. Scene with Mike Meyers, playing the producer, that fronted the money to the band, that would eventually come back months later with the tune "Bohemian Rhapsody" Have to listen to the dialog very, very, carefully, hilarious stuff. (Just remember the scene from Waynes' World and the car, and the song) OMG, they did release "I am in love with my car", just found the official video on YouTube. Dec-03-18    Keyser Soze: <wannabe> I agree. B+ movie. Not great or the most biographical precise movie. But very fun to watch especially for the fans, and hopefully, wake up this new generation for that good music.. Btw, I think Rami Malek will get a nomination for the Oscar. Just a hunch Dec-03-18    technical draw: Hello, friends. I am using WannaBe's forum to let you all know that I will be in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida next week. My brother is dying of cancer and may not finish this year. I'm ok because he has fulfilled his 70 years (see Psalm 90:10). However my elderly mother is suffering so she will need comfort. I will try to visit a local synagogue to stand for mourner's Kaddish. I thank <WannaBe> for allowing me to use his forum. And I say hello to all my friends here. Peace, TD.
