### - ya have to have a front-man innit; james bond didn't go around  
tellin' everyone he was james bond until he was ready to blow their heads  
off lol, he played it cool man, stayed undercover until the right time  
came heh, fitted-in without ever really belonging; that's wot gave him his  
edge ;)

### - another good movie haha; it all turns to dust in the end no matter  
'what' ya fuckin' try to do and no matter the part you play lol :)))

so is god takin' the piss do ya think? ;)

> just that you have to buy a ticket or have someone else

### - exactly, can do that in yer' sleep (as many in fact do heh) and so  
there's no chance to influence it any whatsoever!

i.e., pick 6 races with around 69 runners in each race (69 runners??) and  
then select one horse from each race blindly with a pin, and that's the  
lottery for ya's lol, fuck dat! haha :)))

> then you can say you did your 'your' way.   the horses will salute you.

### - they'd be doin' the can-can lol :)))

>
> "it could happen"   (old judy tunuta saying)

### - there's a realistic chance, a small one but at least it's real + you  
gets to choose the horses based on their form, jocky's, trainers, even the  
weather lol; in fact dozens of changing variables that can't supply  
definitive answers, only hints & clues that can narrow the odds some  
(there's always several that defo *aren't* gonna win for example)

### - nearly 30 years ago (pre-online days etc + my early days of the  
ponies) one day i had 3 winners up, and had watched them all romp home  
while standing in this little betting shop at the back trying to be  
invisible heh, with 3 winners i'd already won around £35 and now the last  
race was starting, 6 runners, and when i looked at its odds they were 50  
to feckin' one?? well boy, my legs literally started shaking haha, and  
even ended prayin' the damn thing would lose or maybe i'd never make it  
home again alive lol... fuck me i (or rather: my body) went to pieces? i  
was sooo relieved when it lost that i swore i'd never watch another live  
race again haha, and 'coz it's far less scary to look up your bet the next  
day in the paper instead of watching it live (true story) :)




>> next book: Zen and the art of gambling on the ponies :D :D :D

> five six seven, whoopie we are (all beings) who are going to die.

### - it was only by beating unbelievable fuckin' odds that we're (you &  
i) are even here at all?

and that was just to be born! then you had to survive growin' up and  
vietnam and everything lol, and 'coz not everyone made it this far??

'incalculable' odds! - we're literally all walking feckin' miracles!  
billion to one shots! and then you drive that bloody big bike as well??  
lol :P

and it all seems like nada doesn't it LOL!

smile, now if i could only go back to being around age 16 again, albeit  
'with' everything i've now learned?

maan, i'd live an entirely 'different' life to the one i did, or was  
otherwise forced to live as part of the learning curve? ;)

and now here we are, a couple of old farts gettin' ready to take our leave  
already haha; one of the little ironies of life being that just as you're  
really getting wise here ya have to leave?

so is wallyworld only for the kids do ya think? is all that 'energy' (of  
their world) only generated and held in-place + kept-going by... morons??  
(lol)

is wisdom for the young anathema, a contradiction of terms? (an oxy-moron  
haha)

what they thus 'needs' is the wisdom of the 60 to 70 year old, at around  
age 30?

we can do this! it's not such a stretch + have done precisely that several  
times over already down the ages, it's just that we don't live too long  
and there's so very much to... overcome? (so much crap)

it's gonna take wise parents to raise wise children innit, and at the  
moment we don't have many of those...

so generations mate! it's gonna take generations...

and they haven't even barely started yet ;)
