You're comparing Formula 1 car racing to golf? Have you lost your fucking mind???
I agree, no comparison, one, sedate strolling around a park hitting a little ball with funny clubs, the other, guiding a vehicle at 225 mph and up to 5g through bends.

For somebody from the land of "The Open," you sure do talk stupid.

The last time I played golf was at Winton Woods in Cincinnati, long before the existence of Ouzo. There were a number of us who played golf that Saturday or Sunday afternoon, and after we finished, we played liar's poker in the clubhouse. I only remember the last hand we played. I had two or three of a number that was bid early, but I immediately challenged it (which is the first time I ever used that ploy), and I challenged every bid thereafter, no matter what the number was. It finally came down to two players bidding against each other on the earlier number I had first challenged, with the rest of us challenging every bid they made. Finally, after the bidding had reached a high level, instead of challenging, I increased the bid by two levels. I knew it was a winning bid, and that any higher bid was a losing bid. I remember the feeling of omniscience that can only be compared to God, knowing exactly what every player had in his hand, without actually seeing his dollar bill. Of course, everybody challenged my bid, but when I showed my dollar bill and called out the exact quantity of the number that every other player had, it's as if my winning bid had totally crushed their collective ego, and it was the last hand of liar's poker that we played.

A simple, "Used to" would have done! :lol:

I think "monomanical" will be another word aptly applied to you.

See, I try to give you some spiritual and mystical insight into Ouzo, but I might as well be talking to a chimpanzee. Most of the DNA is there, but something's missing.

Well, you're definitely giving me an insight into the delusional religious fringe.

The proper term is spiritual, and a series of mystical events having a combined probability of zero can hardly be considered delusional.

Why don't you fill up the entire page with emoticons, that's your basic level of communication, isn't it?

When the :lol: fits, there's not much else to say cupcake.

Tell you what, truly think about your statement and try and tell me why I found it so funny. No, tell you what, since I don't think you could I'll tell you. Its pretty much a definition of delusional.

Honey, you don't know shit about psychology, philosophy or anything else as far as I can figure out!

Which definitely isn't saying much.
