HELLO

Lost with all hands.

    Today is National Rubber Ducky Day. https://nationaldaycalendar.com/national-rubber-ducky-day-january-13/                                                                                   

And tomorrow is National " Dress up your Pet day".

Cover the Boa in feathers?  Not sure how to handle a goldfish ( unless coated in crumbs and fried).

   You meet the strangest people on the forums of Chess.com...                          I think The Ghostest Lola makes an appearance in this video......at the 2:11 mark                              

mid-way through hike, poachers mistake them for bears, and the video ends too early.

   There's a woman in British Columbia that's 470 million yrs old!.....That means she's a little older than Kohai.....                                                                https://www.yahoo.com/news/meteorite-nearly-hit-b-c-201741148.html             

Hahahaha listen doesn't mean pay attention 😁

  I'm having a couple of neighbors over for dinner....                                                                                                                                                                                           After dinner, I'll do my balloon dance...                                                                       

Hahahaha better preserved too

             I  wanted to post about a link on Yahoo.  Some people think that octopusses are actually Aliens.  I knew it...                                                 https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/scientific-paper-claims-octopuses-actually-161100373.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall          

They're alienated.

   Looks like the Dr won the "best post on the page" award...  Maybe someone can help me. I'm in the middle of a blizzard and I don't know what number sun-block I should put on....

Since Kohai retired I've stopped listening to chess.com staff or Mods.

    This post, from someone else, is taken from a thread about vaccinations which Staff recently closed. It makes absolutely no sense, but yet, it is absolutely brilliant and that's why I'm re-posting it here. I'm adding a finishing touch to it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

I strongly support the vaccination programmes. I am clinically vulnerable and if  I caught covid it would most probably kill me.

if only i knew what the narrative of his post was. the lack of a clear narrative probably had many readers (oops, i mean "ppl") also wondering what the narrative was. maybe if jason has been more clear about the official narrative.

aside from that, he reminds me of lincoln scolding douglas: he has the ability to speak so much but say so little.

{@ Al ROFL

     lol..... Al, you worded it better than me......a lot of talking but not saying much. The narrative comes from here BTW. It ran for 250 posts without getting nasty. I don't think it did get nasty. I think Chess.com only wants 1 thread about covid. His post struck me as odd when he compared intelligence to ELO ratings. https://www.chess.com/forum/view/off-topic/are-you-vaccinated?page=14#last_comment
