My mother's first husband was the author of "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People"--that's sort of a family perspective for me, I guess... from the Amazon review: Originally published in 1937, "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People" is a tongue-in-cheek primer by Irving Tressler on how to achieve more free time and peace by having few, if any, friends and acquaintances. "Some of us are born with ability to make others peeved, but most of us aren't."... I find it's only necessary to be straightforwardly honest to retain my reclusivity. My favourite game is famous in "how to win friends and conquer people" - Civilization. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nungali Posted February 11 (edited) My fav bums ... the crazy ones that is ; I will never forget ..... whatshisname - that crazy Turkish nuclear power plant operator that was a Buddhist astral samurai who threatened to come around my house (on the astral ) and kill me with his magic samurai sword . And of course .... Drew Hemple . let's not forget Thunder Gooch , ( aka 'MorePie Guy ' ) the arse grounding wire farting giant kung fu panda - he got modded out and banned but then came back with a paid advertising banner here about himself , mods could not remove it as advertising was managed outside off site by someone else . and one I was rather fond of, The rich kid, upper class British, weather magician - 'Lord Josh Allen ' ; talk about a 'pile on' ! I had to step in and defend him . ( I think people here where just jealous that he had enough money to buy all that 'Daoist magic' paraphernalia that you guys wanted but couldnt afford ) Edited February 11 by Nungali 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My problem : A nice looking middle age lady greets me in a shopping mall , a few years back during on of my rare visits to 'the big city ' . She is enthusiastic, friendly , kind ... she certainly knows me .... from somewhere ???? So I am bluffing it , waiting for some hint , but she busts me ; " You dont even know who I am do you ! " - very indignant . Me ; " Ummmmmm did I nurse you in hospital ? " " Errrr ... used to read your tarot cards ? " " ... Are you from where I live now ? " " I am your Aunt Glenda !!! " Ooooo ... shit ! ( I'm glad I didnt guess ; " Errrmmm ... some guy I used to know that had a sex change ? " ) Edited February 12 by Nungali 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
