WannaBe: <CIO> LOL. I remember those mems... <chancho> North by Norwest, totally agree, the audiences know that the plane scene was filmed earlier and played on a screen behind. It was still drama. Same thing with the Mt. Rushmore chase scene.

WannaBe: ¡Olé! ¡Olé! this is what I see for "¡Olé! ¡Olé!" (game of the day Mar-13-2026) I also know this issue have been around for a while, and it's not that important, in IT term, it is a level 'C', cosmetic fix. But I just wish to report it again. Can CG.com unify this ...

WannaBe: <FSR> March 11 is his birthday, and usually PoD is chosen from the birth date of the player. So unless CG.com decides to change the algorithm on how PoD is decided. We will randomly get "undesired" player(s).

Mar-29-22  technical draw: OK, <WannaBe>, Ebb Tide has been sung by everybody and his brother. I prefer the version by The Platters. (But I still refuse to play it.). The A side is the top song, the B side is just a filler. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57G...
Mar-29-22  technical draw: Another song that I hated to play was "Three Coins in the Fountain. Yuck. Why do people like so much these saccharine songs?

  WannaBe: OMG, OMG, Picard Episode 5 (released today) is directed by Jonathan Frakes (William Riker). This is gonna be good!!!

And in the opening credits, M. Chabon is the writer, (more OMG, OMG, OMG). Am I allowed to squeal like a teenager at In-Sync concert?

  WannaBe: Borg Queen: "Alone, but not lonely. Silence so loud" Betcha this (line) was written by M. Chabon.

  WannaBe: "People are idiots", woooooo!!!! Great line, think I wrote that one. Like 20 years ago.

But I am not going to sue for plagerism, plagerarism, plagirasim, pledgism?

Okay, I am not gonna sue to stealing my line. There. You got a freebie on me, Paramount.

  WannaBe: "Rich Heiress cloning their f***ing cats" -- Dr. Soong, which Data have a cat that he "loves" in Next Generation.

"Apparently I have taken time for granted and she have abandoned me" - Q

Hilarious line, considering how often he has/have/will f*** up the time line.

  WannaBe: "... I am the gentle flutter of a butterfly..." - Q

If a butterfly flutters its wins in Japan, does it affect the weather in New York?

Another great line! (Probably written by M. Chabon)

Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: Continuing on the previous comment "... I am death, destroyer of worlds.", Spoken by Q in the show.

But it was also said by Robert Oppenheimer, (which I think what he was referring to, as the episode timeline takes place after WWII) and many people attribute this to Oppenheimer; but its origin traces back to India/Hindu

  WannaBe: Just discovered this little ditty, called 'tank' by Cowboy Bebop, I like the Big Band/Jazzy style/tune.

YouTube it, and I'd like to know what people thinks. (If you don't know this musical score)

  WannaBe: This is pretty cool, on the same line/thought as the COVID Cello project, but it is to the tune/song of Tank:

  OhioChessFan: <Just discovered this little ditty, called 'tank' by Cowboy Bebop, I like the Big Band/Jazzy style/tune.>

The band is The Seatbelts. The percussion is the obvious highlight. A bongo, couldn't tell but I think a triangle, possibly castanets? The alto had a Cannonball Adderly feel to it. A cross between big band and bebop. Evoked thoughts of Batman or The Pink Panther.

  WannaBe: Sweeeeeeet!! Thanks to T-Mobile, another full season of MLB.com season ticket for free to all the games.

  WannaBe: I am so ashamed of myself, I thought Joe Cocker had muscle control problem until I really looked.

He was playing (air) guitar and/or (air) piano before the song "With A Little Help From My Friends".

I should be forced to return/relearn the Tuba and cleanse meself.
