Philosophy Now Forum

For those of you who have read "The Ouzo Prophecy" at http://church-of-ouzo.com/pdf/ouzo-prophecy.pdf, you may have wondered about the reference to ploys. Following are twelve basic ploys that can be used in the game of Ouzo:

1. Strong bid

2. Weak bid

3. Quick bid

4. Slow bid

5. Bid weakness

6. Support weakness

7. Escape to weakness

8. Pass strength

9. Bid one under strength

10. Bid strength one over bid

11. Double/redouble

12. Table talk

Looks like your bid to offer the world a new religion is falling on deaf ears.

What you need is a gullible community as preyed upon by L Ron Hubbard, that have needs.
A Forum with a range of opinions and nationalities is immune to such nonsense as you have to offer, and your game has fallen under the pressure of ridicule.

Why not try another forum - there must be many in the USA, the land of idiots, creationists and other morons.

Well, fool, it may interest you to know that two days ago at 4:53pm, I emailed billionaire C. Dean Metropoulos, the new owner of the Pabst Brewing Company, about a proposal for an Ouzo micro-test in Memphis, TN. At 9:04pm, he emailed me back his address to personally evaluate it.

Sounds like he's had one too many!!

What, ouzos or beers? He's Greek, you know. Oh, and by the way, this is just another example of a European who saw America as the land of opportunity, and made the most of it!

You're getting your story confused as you said you were in talks with this guy ages ago?

And apparently done better than the Americans there, such as yourself, then?

You know, your head must be made of solid granite because you never underestand the point of any discourse. What I'm obviously saying is that America offers many opportunities for success not found in Europe due to the fact that Europe is based on heavy-handed government socialism, and the U.S. is based on free-market capitalism. Again, that's something you and the rest of your ilk will never understand in a million years, or until somebody knocks you over the head with a club like the ones used by the cavemen you represent.

You're the one who gets things confused. I originally sent a letter to Dean Metropoulos about Ouzo. He scrawled the note, "Any interest in this?" and forwarded the letter to the Pabst marketing manager. During the time I was in contact with the marketing manager, most of the Pabst executives, including the marketing manager, were replaced. This is the first time I have had a direct conversation with Dean. Do you have any other fuzzy recollections you need clarified???

I understood your point, it takes a European to be rich and successful in America, unless of course you are a billionaire?

America is only a 'free-market' system internally, barely tho', as it supports itself by stringent import tariffs and restrictions on foreign companies setting-up in the States. Its economy is largely based upon the petro-bourse, import trade-debt and force-of-arms to ensure shit-cheap oil. Your infrastructure is falling apart and about the only thing you do well is make things that kill people to support your lardy-arses.

Some French families I know who have moved there to work for their companies cannot believe how lazy their counterparts are nor how high and overblown an opinion they appear to have of themselves and how often they self-aggrandize. Their kids are absolutely loving how easy school is compared to back home.

You are thick as pig-shit if you think Europe is socialist, please stop bothering us with your puerile Fux News and Disney history view of the world.
p.s.
Please don't mistake me, I like the American, I just hate the Yank. Of which you are a prime example.

So he didn't understand it either?

You are barking bob the anti-baptist, woof! woof!

I'll just restrict myself to the most incredibly psychotic point made above: Jesus Christ, you must be aware that Europe, and particularly France, takes off from work for months at a time, and then everybody wonders why they don't make enough money. Europeans are the laziest people on Earth, no, in the entire universe!!!

Have you gone stark raving mad??? Unlike yourself, he understands the fucking game, and wants to see my proposal. Talking to you is like talking to a fucking lunatic!!!

Even if he did like the game do you think he'd be happy with the religious mumbo-jumbo you've packaged it in and would he be happy associating himself with someone with such anti-European opinions who wants to burn the Koran to incite Muslims? It would certainly be fun to find out.

First of all, it is idiotic for you to imply that "The Ouzo Prophecy" is mumbo-jumbo when the spokesman for the Spiritual Counterfeits Project, an organization whose very existence is devoted to exposing religious, spiritual and Christian mumbo-jumbo, said, "Your argument is fascinating, tightly-reasoned, for sure." Secondly, the game of Ouzo and the Ouzo Players Association are being designed to make Pabst Blue Ribbon beer the largest-selling beer in the world. I shall bring Ouzo to the world via beer, the original drink of civilization!
