Jan-08-19 Domdaniel chessforum    Domdaniel: Blank Reg: "They said there was no future - well, this is it."      Jan-06-19 Kibitzer's Café    Domdaniel: Haaarry Neeeeds a Brutish Empire... https://youtu.be/ZioiHctAnac      Jan-06-19 G McCarthy vs M Kennefick, 1977    Domdaniel: Maurice Kennefick died over the new year, 2018-2019. RIP. It was many years since I spoke to him. He gave up chess, I reckon, towards the end of the 80s, though even after that he was sometimes lured out for club games. I still regard this game, even after so many years, as the ...      Jan-06-19 Maurice Kennefick    Domdaniel: Kennefick died over the 2018-19 New Year. Formerly one of the strongest players in Ireland, he was the first winner of the Mulcahy tournament, held in honour of E.N. Mulcahy, a former Irish champion who died in a plane crash. I played Kennefick just once, and had a freakish win, ...      Jan-06-19 Anand vs Fedorowicz, 1990    Domdaniel: <NBZ> -- Thanks, NBZ. Enjoy your chortle. Apropos nothing in particular, did you know that the word 'chortle' was coined by Lewis Carroll, author of 'Alice in Wonderland'? I once edited a magazine called Alice, so I can claim a connection. 'Chortle' requires the jamming ...      Jan-06-19 chessgames.com chessforum    Domdaniel: <al wazir> - It's not easy to go back through past Holiday Present Hunts and discover useful information. Very few people have played regularly over the years -- even the players who are acknowledged as best, <SwitchingQuylthulg> and <MostlyAverageJoe> have now ...      Jan-05-19 Wesley So    Domdaniel: Wesley is a man of his word. Once again, I am impressed by his willingness to stick to commitments.      Jan-04-19 G Neave vs B Sadiku, 2013    Domdaniel: Moral: if you haven't encountered it before, take it seriously. Remember Miles beating Karpov with 1...a6 at Skara. Many so-called 'irregular' openings are quite playable.      Dec-30-18 Robert Enders vs S H Langer, 1968   Domdaniel: <HMM> - Heh, well, yes. I also remembered that Chuck Berry had a hit with 'My Ding-a-ling' in the 1970s. I'm not sure which is saddest -- that the author of Johnny B. Goode and Memphis Tennessee and Teenage Wedding - among other short masterpieces - should sink to such ...      Dec-30-18 T Gelashvili vs T Khmiadashvili, 2001    Domdaniel: This is the game I mean: Bogoljubov vs Alekhine, 1922

Frogspawn: Levity's Rainbow

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 196 OF 963 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jun-17-07    WBP: <Jess> <<Bill> you should always be worried.> Sadly I've come to realize this. Seeing Feet From a New, Not-So-Wholesome Perspective Jun-17-07    Domdaniel: <Deffi> Talking Heads, Little Feat, anything really. No, I *do* like Dave Byrne's stuff, everything from '1977' to 'My Life in the Bush of Ghosts' anyway. Why are there so many double entendres today? Or is it just me? Jun-17-07    Domdaniel: <Jess> ... still catching up here ... is it true that you can *chew* gum? Amazing. All these years, I've been using it to plug [*adjectival expletive deleted*] Jun-17-07    WBP: <Dom> BTW, I looked up that "v" word in my Dicktionary. <Why are there so many double entendres today? Or is it just me?> I havn't seen any. But then again, I'm as pure as the driven slush. Jun-17-07    Domdaniel: <Jess> -- <order a used one> How utterly ghastly. You mean with one of yesterday's socks still attached? Vilness beyond words. *swoons away* Jun-17-07    Domdaniel: <Bill> -- <I looked up that "v" word in my Dicktionary> Ah so. I went further, as usual. When you lot were rapping about Dole earlier, I dug out my Farsi Dickshunnery -- this absorbed me for some time, so it might have been around then that Jess got agitated. How was I meant to know that "say g'day to a girl" really means "say g'day to *this* girl"? Or even "say good day to every girl in sight"? Sigh. Human relations are complex. I'm not good around humans. Half a gene away from Asperger's, they tell me. Anyways, back where I belong in the dictionary -- where everything is ordered alphabetically, so unlike the chaos of my life -- I looked up 'dole'. And found -- nada. Presumably it's too filthy to go in a printed dictionary. But 'dolat' means 'government', which possibly makes things easy - or hard - for Iranian satirists. And 'dom' means 'tail'. No comment. Jun-17-07    jessicafischerqueen: Heh. There is so much entendre in the last three pages of this forum it could be sliced off with one keystroke. Which it very well could be!! Course, on the other hand it's a nice day. Let's party. Jun-17-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Dom> no worries, I'm constantly agitated. I'd make a good washing machine!!! Jun-17-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Dom> you can ignore the short hysterical email I sent you today. Did you get the other one I sent earlier? A response to your last missile. <Bill> I just sent you a <beemail>. It's in "attachment" form cuz I can't stand typing in that tiny little box. I think "big boxes" are better. Heh. Jun-17-07    Domdaniel: <Jess> -- <I'd make a good washing machine!!!> And I'd make an excellent dryer, all these gusts of hot air. We should get together and become an appliance. Clean up the world... Jun-17-07    jessicafischerqueen: We could, but I kind of prefer it "dirty." My room is AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE! Books and papers and cats strewn about... Jun-17-07    jessicafischerqueen: BTW one of my cats is getting so fat he's as big as a <Wombat> now. Any suggestions? Jun-17-07    Domdaniel: <Bill> -- Perhaps the 'Bob' part of the presidential candidate's name also shocked the Iranians. As you said... <the news media in Iran had difficulty trying to talk about Bob Dole, as it seems "Dole" is an indecent or unacceptable word (having to do with male genetalia, I believe) in Iranian.> Around the same time in Ireland we had a leading politician -- head of the Irish Labour Party and vice-PM -- named Dick Spring. (I've heard that this is a term of vulgar abuse in Liverpool -- "yeh ****ing dickspring, yeh!") Maybe 'Dick Spring' and 'Bob Dole' mean the same thing. Jun-17-07    Domdaniel: <the topic> ... and, since we can't seem to get away from the topic today -- despite the chess stuff I had lined up to appease the gods -- did you hear what befell the otherwise innocent electronics company Powergen? A multinational with branches all over the world, they naturally set up websites for each country where they were operating. These followed a standard form: powergen, plus the name of the country concerned. Powergenfrance, fine. Powergenireland, no problems. Powergenitalia ... oops. Jun-17-07    WBP: <<Dom> no worries, I'm constantly agitated. I'd make a good washing machine!!!...And I'd make an excellent dryer, all these gusts of hot air. We should get together and become an appliance> Hilarious! (I'm trying with all my might to resist LOL, though I'm sure I'll resort to it sooner or later.) <Dom> <Dick Spring/Bob Dole> LOL. Though I do have a slightly different understanding of DS from that of the Liverpudlians. Just noticed yet another typo: "genetalia" for "genitalia." God, please put me out of my misery now! <Jess> Just read your email. Wonderful points and thoughts--I'll get back to you soon with an email response. Have to go out now. Jun-17-07    Domdaniel: <Jess> Haven't looked at any of my email repositories for over 48 hours. Guess I should, I s'pose... (Did you use the word 'short' just now? What to your German happened has? When do I a sausage become? Wie Deutsch ist es? Und so weiter, Kurtz-am-Krankenhaus, Baden Baden 1919...) Jun-17-07    jessicafischerqueen: Bene, bene!! Greco would be proud. Jun-17-07    jessicafischerqueen: Hey! How come "grecos" (painters, chessplayers) are never actually Greek? Is it a conspiracy? Jun-17-07    jessicafischerqueen: <Dom> sorry! Must remain vigilant. "The wilderness caressed him and lo- he was bald." "Though he did not know it, he could not possibly have been more lost than he was at that exact moment." Jun-17-07    Domdaniel: <fat cats> I suppose I should object to these on principle, particularly the ones with pinstriped suits and cigars. But I like cats too much to recommend any kind of anti-feline strike action. And my last cat, who lived with me for 20 years, was called Marx. <Frogspawn quote of the day> "Not all squeezes are genuine." -- Omar Sharif (who ought to know) Jun-17-07    Domdaniel: <Greco> Juliette? El? Hmm, see what you mean. In cockney rhyming slang, a Greek is a 'bubble' (from 'bubble and squeak'). "Did yer know that Socrates was a bubble? An Ancient Bubble, mind yer, but still..." Jun-17-07    jessicafischerqueen: These <Cockneys> are crazy. Is <Omar> still writing his bridge column? Or is he still doing post-production sound work on <Lawrence of Arabia>? Haven't heard from him in awhile. Jun-17-07    Domdaniel: <Pynchoniana for math types & Jess fans> <His life had been tied to the past. He'd seen himself a point on a moving wavefront, propagating through sterile history -- a known past, a projectable future. But Jessica was the breaking of the wave.> - Gravity's Rainbow, p.126 Jun-17-07    Domdaniel: <Omar Sharif> Not bloody fair, is it? One of the best bridge players in the world, star of Dr Zhivago and Lawrence of Arabia, still (they tell me) sexy at 87 ... ... and who do we have in the chess world? Kurtz? Josh Waitzkin, on account of they made a movie *about* him and he reached IM strength before turning to more inner-directed forms of conflict? Kasparov, the next Putin but one? Jun-17-07    WBP: <<Omar Sharif> Not bloody fair, is it? One of the best bridge players in the world, star of Dr Zhivago and Lawrence of Arabia, still (they tell me) sexy at 87 ... ... and who do we have in the chess world?> Pal Benko?
