Use any working definition of the concepts of "yourself" "consider" and "weird" as you please.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Unfortunatly, ... yes.

I have even lots of people ready, who would swear this,
hopefully the numbers of the people BBF who would join
them is small ...

I don't know, do we? Nah. I didn't think so.

We say no.

Many years back Roberta Flack had this song "Compared to What". Might apply here.

I voted no, I do not consider myself weird. Those who know me may differ. I was at a wedding in a distant city once and when a guy found out I teach at Maryland he started talking about the Terps. I had no idea who played what, or whether we had won or lost any games. He went off shaking his head.

Really I see life as learning how to take what you are and make it work for you without doing too much harm and, if lucky, maybe even doing some good. No doubt my choices, or yours, will strike some as weird.

My shrink says I'm normal but she is probably comparing me to some other patients who are really sick.

So you play a game which is famous for old english ladies.
You read and post in a forum for bridge addictics.
If they talk about a strip squeeze you are the only one in the room who don't think about a girl.
If the say that they had an auction you don't think about Ebay.
If they talk about seven diamonds you don't go to a jewellery but buy a beer instead.
You know that a grand slam has nothing to do with Wimbleton or Flushing Meadows- and a slam nothing with Wrestling.


What was your question again????
Kind Regards

Everybody else thinks I'm weird, so it would be weird of me not to agree with them. That being said, I don't think I'm weird.
