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: #8 vs #9 are suppose to be close games, but SLU just blew out UGA... Don't know how SLU qualifies as "Atlantic-10" conference, but along with VCU are definitely putting out notices to the tournament.

WannaBe: Future research project, how did Offenbach - Orpheus in the Underworld became "Can Can" and women kicking legs before the Radio City Hall Rocketts. An history that probably need some "Lookin Into"

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: You made a comment on Skyline chili on another forum, about a month ago. Today I came across this YT video: https://iq-dist-2.com/s/page/2y888-... My convenient/easy go to is Hormel (BEANLESS!!), I do Chili Mac or use them for Chili Omelets

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).

Dec-05-22  technical draw: <Sam Bankman-Fried have such a 'voice'.>

Haha! You're right, he has a funny voice. I thought he was just faking his it but apparently that's his real voice. I don't think even Mel Blanc can make that voice!

  WannaBe: Watched Season 1, Episode 8 OMG... I intentionally didn't try to a "play by play" on this episode, but holy cow,

So many lines, "My first stalker", towards the end. Etc...

Don't want to give/ruin too much away, but I love this. (regardless, of what that <TD> guy says) 🤪😁🤦‍♂️🤣😂

My opinion, of season 1, A+++++ with honours, and honours roll. (Or maybe I've just been missing good Addams Family Entertainment).

As the old MAD TV episode spoof, goes, definitely "Two Snaps" and a thumbs up, way up!!!

  WannaBe: Going back to episode 7, where Fester surprises Wednesday, she pulled a sword/Katana out of an umbrella?

That is so Asian/Japanese of you Wednesday, or T. Burton, is that another homage to "Kill Bill" or ??

Still, I loved it.

Dec-05-22  technical draw: <WannaBe> <(I notice things, you know... I am like a Sherlock Holmes, or Hercule Poiroit, or Lt. Frank Drabben.>

Yes, I am well aware of your abilities. That's why I purchased the "WannaBeProof™" secure data package for my bank account. They know of your skills overseas.

  WannaBe: Confession time, I subscribe to this/her channel, and I find making dresses the old fashion way fascinating.

But this specific episode, had me laughing my rear-end(s) off.

(Oh, she is also very pretty and have a very soothing voice... On top of making historically accurate Victorian Era dresses)

  WannaBe: You like your "Amazon Prime"?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npY...

Dec-07-22  technical draw: <WannaBe> Very interesting video about the "salt lady". She seems very happy with her job, nice smile, and nice attitude.

Did you know there have been salt wars? India, British mandate Palestine, and even in El Paso, Texas. Salt has always been a valuable commodity.

  WannaBe: <TD> I don't think "I am worth my salt", hence the saying...

  WannaBe: Salts and/or spices, were actually one time, used as money or payment for services.

Hence, "Not Worth One's Salt".

Dec-07-22  technical draw: Speaking of salt, this is the piece that started the bebop revolution:

  WannaBe: <TD> Dizzy & Charlie "Birdman"!!! Wow, what-a-find! (Still like those pretty gals with beat up VWs though).

And then we have bands such as "Salt 'n Peppa", and "Red Hot Chili Pepper"

Anyone else have (band) names with 'seasonings'?? Maybe I can start a band and call it Soy Sauce & Wasabi in honour of <OCF> 🤷‍♂️🤪🤣🤦‍♂️😁

Dec-08-22  diceman: <WannaBe:

Spice Girls

The Flying Burrito Brothers

Dec-08-22  diceman: <WannaBe: More on FTX 30+ min video:>

Fraud, greed, scams, ripoffs, bankruptcy.

Crypto is certainly acting like real money!

  WannaBe: <diceman> Spice Girls is definitely, but not sure about Burrito...

I read a while back, that KFC's Official Twitter account follows the Spice Girls, and 7 random guys named 'Herb'.

  chancho: Thanks I checked the trailer.

John Wick, a movie series that began on the premise that his car was stolen and a pup was killed, turning into a franchise.

Don King: Only in Americaaaa!

There's also a movie coming out in 2023 called Ballerina. It takes place between the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 and Chapter 4.

  WannaBe: Is the plural of Harp players Harpys?
Dec-11-22
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: I have to say/post, this is probably the best version I have seen/heard. Tempo is perfect (but maybe a bit too fast for the dancers, hence, there're none)

And if they did show up, the conductor may not make it through, if you know what I mean.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLq...

Dec-11-22  technical draw: <WannaBe> Play that Can-Can at .75 speed and it sounds better. Also the plural of Harp player is not Harpys but Harper. Live and learn.
