You haven't given any answer but then I'd not expect one from such as you, I just like pointing out the stupidity of your thoughts and to display your false nature.

You know, in "The Ouzo Prophecy," where I said, "Serious Biblical scholars, including top Hollywood movie producers," some people may have thought I was trying to be funny, but I was dead serious.

Please stop, you're hurting my sides.

I know. Your mind is a modern tragedy of Shakespearean magnificence. Who amongst the modern thespians should play the Bob Evenson character in the upcoming blockbuster production, I wonder.

Actually, when I wrote that line, I immediately stopped and said to myself, "That's a strange thing to say." I didn't try to analyze it, but after looking at it for a few seconds, decided it was exactly what I wanted to say. Years later, I decided I had mystically used a divinely inspired double ploy and artifice, like in the game of Ouzo.

This sort of self-reflection is a good sign, Bob, and I reckon you should try doing it more often. You might find that bloody near everything you say doesn't actually make much sense.

I'm guessing those self-reflective days are long gone for Bob. As evidence, he says this:

Instead of realizing and accepting a normal process/phase/pattern of growth or stagnancy or ignorance, Bob decides he's a magical unicorn. It's as if he must try to conceal his past and current limitations and errors, by assigning them some mystical meaning. It's very child-like, in a creepy way.

Lacewing. You're assuming that Bob actually believes his own bullshit but I think I liked your earlier explanation better. He's more like a toddler pointing at his recently laid turd and beaming with pride at his accomplishment.

That's the difference between you and me. I have an open mind and you don't.

Shit!! Cracked a rib!!!

Bob's mind is so open that his brain fell out.

Not sure its an 'open' mind bob but I do thank you for your honesty, it makes a refreshing change from you.
p.s.
lovely word by the way, "discombobulate"...mmmm
