We are also the same age as John Malkowitz [sp? Malkowich?] Robin
Williams,
and the British PM, "Call-me-Tony" Blair. Quite a varied vintage, is the
scary year 1953.

I believe Malkovich is the correct spelling.

ah - thank you

But, alas! (Or 'Hark!' -- whatever is the correct phrase currently en
vogue in Phil's extensive Estuary English vernacular)

yes, we often say hark, or harken! and i you are Welch you might say,
hark-you! Though surely you show off with your 'hark' knowledge - I was
showing off to a bunch of USAF squaddies around Oxfordshire in 1972, lovely
'Constable' country, soft, rolling; and one of 'em remarked on a stone wall
he happened to be leaning on, asking how come it was so big? and i/we said
it was Roman, and then he asked who rebuilt it, and i/we said no one was
stupid enough to build such a huge bloody stone wall and no one ever did
anything to it!

then it took his hand off the wall like it was hot
strange tales from the old country

Ther undur sate a creature,
As bri3t as any son-beme,
And angels did hym grete honoure,
Lo ! childe, he seid, this is thy /neme/

In evyll tyme thou dedst hym wronge,
He ys my /neme/ y schall the honge.
/MS Cantab. Ff ii, 38, f 151

NEME: uncle, "Neme, neam, gossip" (Warw.) Kennett, MS Lansd. 1033; though
NEMEL means capable //Lydgate. NEMLY; quickly, sharply.

NEMPNE: to name; to call. [A. Sax.] as Nempt in Holinshed, Hist. england, i.
81

**the '3' above emulates an A. Sax character rendered soft or hard as y or
g, resp.



1953 means Phil and I have something somewhat in common: My mother was
born in January of that year.

Was she though? It was a good year, and she was wise, and controlled all
without seeming effort as befits any year of the water serpent!

Té! Phil

my non-chess playing friend told me about this:

Gary then came into the studio and reported that people from SIRIUS
approached him yesterday about getting Howard "a big surprise" for
his birthday and the anniversary, even though they were a day or two
away. Gary added that he advised the execs to get Howard a chess lesson
with Boris Spassky, a Russian considered one of the best chess players
in the world, and, even though they were able to reach him, couldn't
convince him to give Howard the lesson.

my friend added that spassky did not know who mr. stern was.

Howard Stern should interview me. I'm the most famous chess player in
America.

As a matter of political strategy, I only can make FOR FREE a case by
gathering attention. I have already spent 5,000 dollars on law firms in
Switzerland. If I can make funny or entertaining statements, then it
furthers the cause of chess on ST Kitts. Please don't tell me how to
spend my money during a war for independence with FIDE. I have earned
the money, I have a right to spend MY MONNEY how I LIKE.

At this point, we can't play in the World Chess Championship. What else
can FIDE do to me, except kill me, which has been threatened?

Perhaps you should listen to Howard Stern, and learn something about
communications.
