Doesn't know about top horns or waffles? Let the Beatles help you emerge from your cocoon. Also please note the color of the sky.

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence won't you come out to play

Why on earth would anyone choose waffles?  Not only are they an obviously inferior food, but they require equipment to make which cannot be used for any other purpose!  No, it won't do at all.


How what huh?  Inferior how exactly?  And I don't even like syrup so it's not just those lovely pockets Grobe mentioned.  The texture is awesome!  Pancakes are like...limp soggy bread almost.

You're kidding right? I mean, honestly, how can you call yourself a chess player without an intimate knowledge of "Top Horns" from both the White and Black perspective? Flabbergasted.

Sounds like I need to get right on that.  Embarassed

Pancakes are practical too.

If you accidentally lock yourself in a room without food (we've all done that, right?) friends can pass you pancakes under the door till the locksmith arrives.


hahaha.  you guys are seriously doing a number with this topic.

Not enough information to answer the question honestly..... what was the result of the game ? The importance of the game ? What happened during the game, both on the board and away from it ?  Was my opponent someone I dont mind losing to or someone I cant stand losing to ?  etc.....

That is one of the saddest things I've ever read.  Sure, I agree that pancakes are superior...but you've never even heard of waffles?!  Has the whole "food" concept been slow in getting to you folks Down There? (oh right, I just remembered...you guys eat that lichen stuff)...


Which part of the world do you live in, BorgQueen?

Waffles are my favourite dessert, after cakes.

Golly, try and get a waffle from a nearby waffle shop, there has to be one where you live!

The sky is not blue!  In fact it would be considered a shade of cyan.

I read recently about someone who failed to get off a parking ticket on the grounds that the double yellow lines looked blue to him. A bit of a long shot, since all double yellow lines would have looked blue to him, and double blue lines are somewhat uncommon.

I is blue sometimes, but I is never cyan Smile

I try to make the last game before I log out a win.

If I lose and lose and lose I just get so frustrated I even play someone about 500 rating below me just to win.

Most of the time I don't behave that badly when I lose, except when I make a massive blunder from a winning position. Then I get really angry...

for me  just ok and accept the defeat but i can learn from my mistake and if i win i also thanks to my opponent give me a good fight.

A craving easily provided for by one food superior even to pancakes; le pain perdu (good song too).

TheGrobe

I think I can agree with that.

I always wondered what the French called french toast.  Am I getting the translation correct in reading that simply as "the toast"?

Now I'm confused about what the French call regular toast....

Now this is really funny.  Awesome! 

 

Theoretical...ok, French toast is a whole different matter, but even that has to be made well.  Too eggy or too soggy and it's a nightmare. But really...that just reminds me of the invention of sugar water.

No, it's lost bread.  I don't know why, but it is.

Again, we're presupposing that I'm doing the cooking, so all is well Wink

 

Is that a counter-reference I see buried there?  If so, good work.

TheGrobe

Curious, google tranlate correctly identified "perdu" as lost, but as soon as I prefixed it with "le pain" it simply said "the toast".

Could it possibly be that automated tranlators aren't perfect?

Est-ce une merde ours dans les bois?

 

(A little history - I put 'does a bear shit in the woods?' into google translator and got this answer, which with my limited French seemed incorrect.  So, I reversed it, and from French - English I get 'Is this a bear shit in the woods?  Very apt.)
