Mar-21-26 Chessgames - TV and Films    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.      Mar-20-26 Chessgames - Sports    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.      Mar-19-26 Fusilli chessforum    WannaBe: Right now, I am one very confused Wabbit on this Mate-2 puzzle... 🙃🤔      Mar-18-26 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: <plang> Do you have a link to where you got that information/data from? I would love to read it for myself.      Mar-16-26 WannaBe chessforum   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"      Mar-13-26 chessgames.com chessforum    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 ...      Mar-13-26 OhioChessFan chessforum   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      Mar-11-26 Sebastien Feller    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-05-26 G Timoscenko vs Karpov, 1967   WannaBe: So, strictly out of "Morbid Curiosity", I requested an analysis of the position: 1) +12.62 (22 ply) 55...Ke6 56. Nc6 Bg2 57. Nxa7 Ba8 58. Nc6 Kd7 59. Ne5+ Ke6 60. Nxg6 Be4 61. b6 f4 62. Nxf4+ Kf5 63. g6 Kg4 64. b7 Kxg3 65. b8=Q Kf3 66. g7 Bh7 67. g8=Q Bxg8 68. Qxg8 Ke3 69. a7 Ke4 ...      Mar-02-26 Chessgames - Literature    WannaBe: "Great books are what everyone talk about, but nobody ever reads" -- Some dude named Samuel Clemens.

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 723 OF 754 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-10-23    WannaBe: Very cute, this episode's title is "No Win Situation". Now, if anyone remembers Kirk and the Kobiyashi Maru scenario, Kirk said: "I don't believe in no-win situation". See how this episode will work out. (Of course the hero will live, they've got more episodes to air/show) Mar-10-23    WannaBe: Edit, the correct title is "No Win Scenario", not situation. Stupid Romulan Ale and Klingon Blood Wine. Don't mix your alcohols, kids. Mar-10-23    WannaBe: This part makes no sense (to me), they shut-off all non-essential energy, but holodeck is still on? Must be nice to be an admiral (and pull 'rank'). Ugh... Mar-10-23    WannaBe: Dang, the writers expected that and it was explained... =(( Mar-10-23    WannaBe: "I am guessing you are not referring to cannabis"... So, weed is legal on starships now? 🤪🤣 Good thing they have replicators that can make infinite amount of Doritos or whatever you are in the mood for. Mar-10-23    WannaBe: How does she know/predicting these impacts? Mar-10-23    WannaBe: That. Was. Not. Michael. Dorn's. Voice. Or was it?? Mar-10-23    WannaBe: Love that chair spinning scene, nicely (homage) to Amanda's father's scene in the movie. I loved it. Mar-10-23    WannaBe: And we have an 'explanation' between the animosity between Capt. Shaw & Picard. (And Jack Crusher) Hard for me to justify either side of the argument, but I like how Picard handled it. Mar-10-23    WannaBe: Methinkth, that Riker just got 'punked'... Ashton Kutcher would be (have been) proud. Mar-10-23    WannaBe: Annnnnnnd here is the "Grease Monkey"... Mar-10-23    WannaBe: If you remember the oldie song, "Catch a Wave and You're on Top of the World"?? Well.... I did see that coming. Mar-10-23    WannaBe: That reminds me of the scene where Enterprise was towin' a bunch of space mines... Mar-10-23    WannaBe: Oh goodness gracious, there's a red door, and I hope Jack doesn't want to "Paint it Black". (Apologies in advance). The 'intensity and acting' in this episode was higher than the other previous ones, and I was not surprised that this one was also directed by J. Frakes. As always (for season 3) the credits of writers/directors are at the end... Mar-10-23    WannaBe: Oh, as a final thought, we 'get' to see Troi, via 'Zoom'. Mar-11-23    WannaBe: Just found out a couple of things that I didn't know about season 3, directors did back-to-back episodes, and that's that. (So probably not a random pea-draw as before) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_... Could explain why the 2 J. Frakes' directed episodes are so good. #3 and #4. Back in the 'old days', season was 26 episodes, or 1/2 of 52 week year, and some episodes were, um, huh, gee, "Not-So-Good" Now they are down to maybe 13 or even 10 episodes a season. And man, I'll tell ya, quality over quantity. Interview with Dorn, Frakes, Matalas, and Burton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Any... Mar-11-23    WannaBe: Now, a completely different topic, SilverGate & Silicon Valley Bank insolvency, this may cause a major tremor, if not an earthquake in the banking industry. Could this be bigger than the failures of Lehman Bro. and other banks in the real estate time that brought on the Great Recession? (Time will tell) But many, many smarter people than I have predicted a recession is coming, and it is because the bond leverage and how the fed/J. Powell raising the interest rate. On YouTube, Patrick Boyle and Graham Stephan both published vids today explaining what and why happened. (I learned a lot). Pretty scary. Mar-11-23    WannaBe: This is for <chancho> (Please don't be jealous because you can't get Paramount+) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hH... 45 minutes long. Mar-11-23    chancho: It says the video is unavailable... Mar-11-23    WannaBe: <chancho> Ah... must be location/IP aware =(( Mar-11-23    chancho: Thanks for doing it nonetheless. Mar-17-23    WannaBe: Star Trek Picard, season 3, episode 5 (Half-way point of the 10 episode season) And. Here. We. Go. Mar-17-23    WannaBe: That's one heck of an intro and throws a monkey wrench... Mar-17-23    WannaBe: Oh, wait, think I know what the intro is about... Mar-17-23    WannaBe: Don't know why I found this to be so funny, maybe it's cussing's allowed, since it's not on 'public air-wave TV'. "I am going to step outside so the 3 of you can your BS story straight" -- Capt. Liam Shaw (They are in a conference room, and no Capt. L. Shaw is not stepping out to 'outer space'). Killed me, just killed me. He is indirectly-directly assisting Picard-Riker and 7 of 9.
