Questions Game

So many questions I do feel better, thank heaven! I hate
to feel ill.
extra, there always should be a part that should be kept
private.

Sex should be the icing on the cake, not the main ingredient,
right?

I don't know.I've forgotten.I can tell it when I see it though.A page at the most.

Wasted words that prove to warn
That he not busy being born
Is busy diiiieeinnnngggggggg.

Cal:-

I've never tried that.Have I missed something.It sounds okay.

I only know that you missed writing a question

How was the pub?

It was QUIZ NITE.

Need you ask?

Oh I bet you won!

Did you get a free beer?

How could I win?I never heard any of the questions.
My ears are a screening mechanism.I have a dross detection facility.

Have you not?

I wish I had. I guess I have a genetic defect here.

Do you consider yourself fortunate?

Exceedingly so.I find it difficult to find words,not a thing I'm used to,to express how exceedingly.I was listening to some Mozart earlier and I have a similar problem with that.

What sort of music do you like?

I like a variety of music from Beethoven, Chopin, to some Eminem songs. Lately I have aquired a taste for soft Jazz,
my little one enjoys so much.

Any weekend plans?

See what comes up.There's nothing planned.I'm not keen on planning.I'm glad somebody does it though.We owe them a vote of thanks.It's the Epsom Derby on Sat so I'll be watching that.I have a good record in that race.I'm better at picking winners in the class races than I am with the handicappers.Last three winners I've backed so I'm up for what we call a four-timer.

Ever had one of them Cal?

No! I'm bored to tears at horse races. Every July, my neighboring town hosts races, and I'm seldom there....

What's the excitement?

A thoroughbred, CJ.

Thoroughbred.

Its elitist. Its a wealthy person's pursuit. It costs millions to be a racehorse owner. Many are called, few are chosen.

Its snobbery at its worst. A rich person's hobby.

But the beauty of a thoroughbred horse, and a team of them racing, cannot be denied.

Quite an art.

A thoroughbred in full stride is one of the most magnificent beauties of man/nature cooperation battle.

Even if you don't like the racing, have you not had your heart skip a beat at the beauty of an underdog downtrodden dark horse, way back in the pack, limping to keep up, looking as if all is lost, suddenly finding an almost supernatural power to stoke the fires in his engine, and power past the herd, and leave the other horses and riders mystified in the distance?

So?

Oh Cal!It's better than sex is getting stuck into the bookies and seeing it come up the hill at Epsom three lengths in front and then hanging on by a short head at the line with Her Majesty jumping up and down in her box.

Do you think it's a men's thing?

Probably. I just cannot see the faszination.

You must enjoy gambling?

I do.There's only two things matter to me.Bookies and ladies.They are very similar actually.You take a chance and if you get it wrong you go down to defeat and if you get it right you ring the ding-dong.It's existentialism.

I'm not up for Russian roulette though.That's for fundamentalists.The middle way is what I always say.Who cares what Mao said.

Have you asked EM about existentialism?(You should then he can tell you all about it while I go to slumberland).(He's an expert)

Nighty nightie and I hope you are fully fit am.

extra, you always change your posts after the fact;)
spendius you sound like Lord Ellpus now.
Thank you, I actually go and do some sport now.

Will be back later. Extra explain the existentialism?

Yeah, sometimes I edit because I don't want to leave a half-done thought...this isn't the best forum for long ideas, and I'll keep this kind to a minimum here...

Existentialism (Spendius thanks for dumping this on moi). Its potentially a big subject. Or all in a word: Exist.

What Spendius said about it is pretty darn good, I'd say.

Then again, it can be a big subject. I could never begin to write it all here. To Exist. One could study it for years. A Doctorate in Existentialism, for sure. This seems to be a pretty good intro website on it. Notice all the categories, and it doesn't even scratch the surface of all the various schools of Existentialism. You know how there are 50+ denominations of Christianity with all their unique beliefs? Same kind of deal for existentialism:

Existentialism attempts to describe our desire to make rational decisions despite existing in an irrational universe. Unfortunately, life might be without inherent meaning (existential atheists) or it might be without a meaning we can understand (existential theists). Either way, the human desires for logic and immortality are futile. We are forced to define our own meanings, knowing they might be temporary. In this existence…
The Individual Defines Everything. "

The part I put in bold might be it in a sentence. Well people could debate it. But thats a good start.

What do you think of that philosophy? Do you think that we pretty much define our own reality and our existence? (even if some people want to deny it, hate it, etc--thats irrelevant) Ever heard of this stuff? In't it a thrill?

Actually all that is a long winded variation on Henry Miller's famous line-"I don't understand women,I just make love to 'em ",except that good ol' Henry used a popular vernacular abbreviation for the phrase 'make love to' which I will refrain from employing as some people believe that to do so would lower the exalted tone of the thread.

As EM more than hints,existentialists scoff at men who claim to have some understanding of women
which is the main reason why existentialists have more success in this important aspect of life than those men who have the understandings I mentioned earlier in this sentence which has already gone on far too long as it is and needs to be brought to a conclusion at the first opportunity.

I'm happy to hear you are feeling a little better and I'm sure I speak for everyone else when I say that I hope your improvement continues until you are back in A1 shape.

PS. Mr Jack Nicholson,the well known actor,specialises in what might be termed "existential roles".e.g The Shining and Witches of Eastwick.As,of course,does Mr Woody Allen and many others with unimpeachable reputations in this refined area of philosophical discourse.Laurel and Hardy and Mr W.C. Fields to name but a few.
