I've always wanted to say and mean: "Forget about it"
But I can't without it feeling corny.

I actually said that to my girlfriend when I was back in university. She took it as a challenge and... my headache went away  (though I never told her it came back an hour later) |

Well, of course the Countach is an absolute beast to drive - I mean, sure it's faster, but it rides like child's li'l red wagon. For a long drive, the F430 is far more civilised.

Eunoia, for such a cultured gentleman, you do bring up the most inexplicable comparisons.
In this instance, let us consider the facts: The Lamborghini Countach first appeared in 1971. Whilst undeniably radical, how can it possibly hope to compare in terms of refinement with the Ferrari F430, a brand new model only just being released to the worldwide markets?
To further cast aspersions on your querelous claim, it is in fact the Ferrari, with 483BHP, a 196mph top speed and an 11.7 sec / 123mph 1/4 mile time, which is the faster of the two.
If I didn't know better, I'd think you were being facetious. |

I always want to reply: "How do I do what?"

There's a bit of a story behind it.
Some years ago - ah, 'twas in the early 90's, as I recall - in my small, quiet town in the wilds of British Columbia, there appeared one day in our local daily gazette a "story" of an entrepreneur from the thriving and exciting metropolis of Vancouver - and his daughter - who happened to be passing through our fair village. In their Lamborghini.
During his visit, for reasons long forgotten and not at all relevant, said entrepreneur was waylaid by one of our local reporters, likely for no other reason than this would have been, at that time, the first Lamborghini to have remained in our humble hamlet for any longer than it would normally have taken to drive straight through.
The most memorable thing about the ensuing article was much akin to what I wrote above; to wit, pusillanimous comparisons between his Lamborghini and his Ferrari - icons of wealth and excess, the ways and means to acquire no mere mortal from our backwater burg would ever attain.
The models and the specs may be inaccurate, but the spirit remains intact.
As an aside, the fact that a brief visit by a man and his Lamborghini was considered newsworthy should speak volumes about the place I call(ed) "home". |

Wow -- That's something you've always wanted to say?  Amazing luck that a hwajangshil ajumma came along and used "querulous" in an online forum like this and gave you the opportunity!  |

I've always wanted to go up to a girl in a bar and say
'How you doin'?' (Joey style!)
Then again I would actually have to learn how to approach a girl in a bar. |

During sex I really want to use the nastiest language imaginable, but all that ever comes out is: "Yeah, you like it, don't you?"
I really gotta get off Mount Platitude. |
