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.

Seen them all. ...      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 734 OF 754 ·  Later Kibitzing> Aug-10-23    WannaBe: Please don't do the Ripley reference, please don't... I will be so p*ssed if Star Trek did the same as Aliens 3 or Aliens 4. Aug-10-23    WannaBe: Okay, I am p*ssed... Aug-10-23    WannaBe: Very mixed feeling on episode 10... So, I'll give it a B--(?!!?) Aug-11-23    WannaBe: SBF bail have been revoked. Go straight to jail, do not pass VPN do not collect crypto! https://finance.yahoo.com/news/judg... Aug-16-23    WannaBe: (Duplicate post here, original on K. Rogoff) FIDE have ruled: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment... Aug-17-23    WannaBe: Apparently Hilary is all over the news here in SoCal and parts of Arizona, some news outlets are warning severe damages and asking people to not go outside this weekend, possibly early next week, too... I did not know Clintons are visiting CA. Sep-02-23    technical draw: Jasson Dominguez of the New York Yankees hit a home run on his first major league at bat. I thought that was a rare accomplishment until I read that 134 players have hit home runs on their first major league at bat. However, Dominguez hit a home run on his first major league swing! I won't check to see if others have done this since I don't want to spoil the moment. Sep-03-23    WannaBe: <TD> Some people just have beginners' luck... Why doesn't that happen to me with Lottery??? Sep-03-23    technical draw: <WannaBe> <Why doesn't that happen to me with Lottery???> Because you didn't buy my secret formula. Sep-08-23    WannaBe: I really like this version... G&S Pirates, Modern General. Excellently Done. Hilarious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vqb... Sep-11-23    WannaBe: OK, think I've seen all the YouTube vids (previews or what-nots) and I have the movie downloaded... "The Greatest Beer Run Ever"... Let's go drinking!!!!!!!!! Sep-11-23    WannaBe: That (green/yellow) duffel bag, must hold <A LOT OF BEER>... And quite heavy, too. Sep-23-23    WannaBe: This is for our friend <Chancho>, (Who I will blame, for getting me "hooked" on this). Wiki says there will be (only) 3 episodes? Just "acquired" the episode 1, (90+ min) and will enjoy it while also have some dinner. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_C... (<Chancho>, It's on Peacock, NBC affiliate, I believe, so it's not like Star Trek, which is CBS/Paramount+ affiliated, if that makes a difference) Sep-23-23    WannaBe: Edit to my previous post, it's only 86+ minutes, I can't add. Math was never my strong point... Sep-23-23    WannaBe: C- it's "cute"... But I'll watch the other 2 episodes, could get better... Episodes one aren't usually the best one, it's to build up the story. Oct-02-23    WannaBe: Watched episode 2 of "The Continental" C- Tomorrow will be a biiiiiiig day for FTX & Sam Bankman-Fried, as trial will start. Also Michael Lewis (Yeah, that author) will release a new book on FTX!!! Dang, it's like Christmas in early Oct. Oct-02-23    chancho: <Wannabe> did you know that Ian McShane was in the sci fi series Space 1999? Oct-02-23    WannaBe: <chancho> I am not aware of that. (And don't you get me hooked on another series!!!!!) 🤣😁🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️ Oct-03-23    chancho: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space... It's available on YouTube gratis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEU... Oct-03-23    WannaBe: Today's Pearls is a classic!! https://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbefo... Oct-03-23    OhioChessFan: I said "Ouch" out loud when I read that.... Oct-04-23    WannaBe: That was the "Big Emergency Test"?? Mine went off at 18 minutes after the hour, thought it was suppose to be 20 minutes after the hour. Rather disappointed. Oh well, 30 minutes to first pitch. Oct-15-23    WannaBe: Saw the third and final episode of "The Continental", guess the best thing I can say about this little series is that the sound track is great. Excellent sound track, great songs from that era. Oct-22-23    technical draw: <chancho> <did you know that Ian McShane was in the sci fi series Space 1999?> Space 1999, with my ex-girlfriend the beautiful Barbara Bain. (Of Mission Impossible fame) Oct-22-23    technical draw: A mission Impossible anecdote: When Barbara Bain went to audition for her part in MI she had to audition in front of the executive producer who was none other then Lucille Ball (through Desilu productions). It is said that when Lucy saw Barbara she said "forget the audition, you're in." This is rarely seen as most actors are rejected after the first audition. Lucille Ball had an eye for talent.
