The perfect date is to get a cheap girl, some cheap beer, a cheap motel room, and play Ouzo and read the book of Revelation.

What point the girl, beer and room then?

Well, it's best to get a cheap girl, one who hasn't become so sophisticated that you can't penetrate her mind. Since Ouzo has the flavor of the American bar game of liar's poker, cheap beer won't take the edge off her epiphany. And a cheap motel room is the ideal setting, since it's really all you need, and anything fancier might detract from the solemnity of the occasion.

I'd have thought the idea of a 'cheap' girl, cheap booze and a cheap motel room meant penetrating her mind was the last thing on the agenda?

So effectively you're some kind of cheap religious proselytizer?

Could you give an actual example of how this game is played as its still pretty unclear how it is?

It's the only thing on the agenda.


No, that would be Billy Graham.


Ouzo is the easiest game in the world to learn, it can be played with any number of players, and since it is a bidding game of numbers, it doesn't matter what country you're in or what language you speak, it is a universal game and everybody uses the same numbers. Take another look at the description of the game in "The Ouzo Prophecy" (http://church-of-ouzo.com/pdf/ouzo-prophecy.pdf).

Poor unsatisfied 'cheap' girl then.
Just because you're doing it one a time does not make you different.

I have. Give us a written example.

It would be a rare girl who's not satisfied by a combination of cheap beer and an epiphany; the difference between Billy Graham and me is the message; and a written example of the game is in "The Ouzo Prophecy".

What's your message then?

All I see is an analogy? Can you do an example please.

"The Ouzo Prophecy" is a simple paper less than four pages long, and while I admit that the only person on Earth who apparently understands it is the one person on Earth who probably shouldn't (see http://church-of-ouzo.com/pdf/spiritual-counterfeits.pdf), I can't draw you a picture.

Try words. Or try imagining I'm a 'cheap' girl in a motel. I'll find some booze for myself.

If I were trying to explain to you that 1 + 1 = 2, and you didn't understand it, and I said I can't draw you a picture, and you said try words, what would you expect me to say?

Imagine an object, now imagine another object. Label both objects as '1'. Now imagine both objects together and call this process '+'. Now think of this state of affairs as '1 + 1'. You can do this with as many objects as you like. Now imagine you have nine labels '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8' '9'. Imagine '0' as no objects. Imagine '1' as one object, imagine '2' as two objects, etc up to '9' objects. Now imagine describing each label with the '+' process and using a label '=' to mean "is the same as". So '9' = '1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1'. Which of the labels do you think replaces the question mark in ? = '1 + 1'.

Could you draw me a picture?

Now can you explain what you'd tell the 'cheap' girl, as I like an epiphany please.

Unfortunately, the picture is the same as the question, and I think you're probably not looking so much for an epiphany as an orgasm.
