I am a chess fan (though generally suck at playing), but after having taken German for six years in middle/high schools, I used to try to find the hardest words to say in German. I think "zugzwang" has claimed that trophy. Zugzwang | Definition of Zugzwang at Dictionary.com Why thank you! I have always appreciated bad puns (the only sort that are good!). And yeah, my screen name comes from chess, and is a German word (I enjoy chess though haven't played as much of late, sadly). I took German for 2 years in high school and a couple of years in college, really liked it! I actually got halfway decent at being able to read it reasonably well and even carry on an OK conversation. But that was MANY years ago, I've forgotten a lot of that by now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is kind of sad in a way, because I have seen some really good and insightful posts he has made. But yeah, that's overtaken by the vast majority of the time when he's insufferable; maybe that's his "thing", but nobody needs the model or storm threads taken up with it.

North Balti Zen Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 The issue is what his flaunting of the rules does in terms of tone - provides cover for a LOT of posters who do NOT know their stuff (and Ji knows his stuff) to adopt that tone and do so with some terrible analysis. It's what one of his frequent meltdowns sets off that becomes the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAOS Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 1 hour ago, mappy said: LOL its so true. No doubt. Once you get down Mountain Road towards Chesapeake, the income goes up. Some of the neighborhoods outside of Gibson Island, but pretty far down the road are all big mansions. I grew up closer to the Severna Park area. There are some other places throughout the area that are higher income as well. Back in the day Berrywood (technically Severna Park) was one of them. Fairwood in Lakeshore comes to mind. There are also multi-million dollar waterfront homes scattered through the neighborhoods. Compass Pointe (Ft. Smallwood Rd), one of the newer communities, is nice. There are others as well.

It’s where all the popular kids from my days lived. I dated a guy who lived off N Shore, wasn’t on the water but oh man was it a really nice house and lot.

No doubt. I didn’t have that, but we did have a small boat my dad would take us out on, on the Magothy. Friends had a dock and ramp, so we’d just park and launch from there. Caught my first bass on that river. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to catch crabs and white perch all the time. There was a restaurant called Riverdale on the water (it has since burned down). We use to go there, throw a string with a piece of chicken tied to it into the water and net crabs as kids. Legal size crabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did the same on St. Leonard's Creek south of Prince Frederick. We'd stop at the A & P in Prince Frederick and get our chicken necks on the way down from home, tie them to a string with a nail and catch a few dozen each weekend. Loved it. It's what got me to build a small skiff and trotline as an adult. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where can you get white perch?!?!? I used to live close to Lake Erie and we would go out and get a load of yellow perch and have a huge fish fry. Have not had perch in sometime though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
