You'd be a hit with the Glory Holy gang.
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.

Not really. The banter is usually very lively at the Glory Hole. This sort of person would be unlikely find someone to talk to.
They would be be better off at one of the girly bars in the square as inane and boring conversation is normal.
The Glory Hole is a bar girl free haven of bonhomie and witty repartee.
But thanks for thinking of us.

"'That's the way it is, householder. That's the way it is — for sorrow, lame0ntation, pain, distress, & despair are born from one who is dear, come springing from one who is dear.'
"'But, lord, who would ever think that sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, & despair are born from one who is dear, come springing from one who is dear? Happiness & joy are born from one who is dear, come springing from one who is dear.' So, not delighting in the words of Gotama the contemplative, rejecting them, I got up from my seat and left."
"That's the way it is, householder [said the gamblers]. That's the way it is. Happiness & joy are born from one who is dear, come springing from one who is dear."
So the householder left, thinking, "I agree with the gamblers."
If not seeing things as they actually are, you would be bored thinking "What the hell are they talking about...?"
As the story of infinitive humor contains, they smile "at you" because they have gone and worked the ways through it already.
Just be dear to yourself! Even if not approaching, those Deva, Gods, even the good of them within yourself think of you and would always patently let you work out your genuinest smiles youself. Becoming another "hit of a Glory Holy gang"

The winners just smile and the losers say, "Deal, damnit, deal.". That's really how it is.

Waffle, waffle, waffle. Some quasi- religious thing or other.
Waffle, waffle...

"Waffle, waffle, waffle."
Come to think of it I can't remember the last time I had waffles for breakfast.

You raise a point there. My dhama has been waffle free for a Buddha's age too.

That's why the real wise do not seek for both, don't seek after the 8 wordly Dhammas but for real treasurse no one can take away. And that is why they seek and well in pleasures which do not harm.
Since this topic is still about wordily pleasures, yet in hevenly spheres, it's possible ok to supply some inspirations an a mirror for waffel and cookie monsters and the problem of falling again and again in usual liked ways:Winning gives birth to hostility.
Losing, one lies down in pain.
The calmed lie down with ease,
having set
winning & losing
aside.
Sukhavagga
A good related talk on it: Train Your Hunger (The Sea Squirt)Me Can Take Deep Breaths
When me lose control
When me have no doubt
Me have strategies
That can calm me down
Me can talk to self
Me can stand up straight
Me can take deep breaths
Me can self-regulate
..Me can?
