Hey, I got mentioned in rondino's post!

With a little stretching, I might make the title of Keller Williams's tune "Geeker [Freeker] by the Speaker"

Back on topic, this famous and controversial conductor is not-so-affectionately known as "Fluffy" on a classical music newsgroup (r.m.c.r.):

Hey there, Pawnbubba!!

I recuse myself from discussions of male GM hunkiness (it'd be too ), but you should look for a profile shot of Grischuk. He's got a monstrous schnozzola, I mean we're talking Jimmy Durante territory here. A female equivalent would be opera star Cecilia Bartoli, who's careful to be photographed face on.

Gorgeous profile, classic Greek. The dreadlocks he wore at the Bled Olympiad were wonderful - reminds me of home..half the population wears them.



Thanks to ChessBase

Hee, hee, a "limp-wristed smilie!!" :laff: :laff:

There's an excellent smiley site I've been mining heavily (already posted it on the "Ed of the world" thread): Check it out

But I warn you, CF, a few of the images may offend your sensibilities...

Yeah, they sure DO have a lot of smilies at that site!

Hi All!,

I'm the slight spin on Ground Hog's Day.
Once a year I crawl out from under my rock and peruse the Ninja boards. If I see something interesting I will hang for a bit, if not I go back into hiding.

I will say that the moderators are doing a much better job of keeping things on the positive side.
