That also caused me to do some research on the author Stephen Potter, so I ordered The Complete Upmanship: Including, Gamesmanship, Lifemanship, One-Upmanship, Supermanship.

I'm looking forward to reading these works and watching the film.

Thanks for piquing my interest.

My high school graduation gift from my father, 28 years ago, with a few slight mods. I asked for a dive watch and he brought me this back from St. Martin.

I've always loved the Cat Women line up. And because I never met a Cat Woman I didn't love

.. Same here. - (awesome links ). Been an F1 fan since the 70's, along with Rolex. Got up early to watch the races 'live' ..(but tape them now...LOL...) - Wittnessed some great racing by Senna and the 'other' greats of his era..when racing was 'racing'.
.
I change my avatar around a bit.. and currently its a novelty watch of Einstein characture..and 'Relative Time'...1'ish, 2'ish..etc. Kinda found it entertaining...!!
