Comet Hale-Bopp

a spectacular comet that graced our skies in 1996 - 1997. It lead to lots of stupid New Age speculation due to the "prophecy" and angel-encounter end-of-the-millenium bullshit that was going on in near the end of the 20th century. There were cult suicides, and superstitious predictions that did not come true. It was very prominent in the sky in early to mid 1997. Dubbed the "Comet of the Century", Hale-Bopp was a thrill to see and a once in a lifetime event, although you can't tell when the next comet "biggie" may come our way.

Comet Hale-Bopp was discovered by the American astronomers Alan Hale and Thomas Bopp.

Competitive

Being more focused on victory, or the aspects like domination of an activity, than actual enjoyment of the activity for or by anybody else.

No wonder he/she wasnt thought of as fun to take to parties anymore by the people who once thought he/she was (some had never thought that he/she was fun to take anywhere or be around), he/she really thought of life as nothing but a competition, and had come up with spiritual answers to everything that other people didnt think were competition in life despite not really believing in any of the bullshit answers himself/herself. One thing a competitive person doesn't get is how much loss their is in a war that is considered won by the group that calls themselves the winners, they're too focused on the winning part to get it, despite claiming to be somehow deeper thinking than other people (depth is also no good if it turns into competitive bullshit). Focusing on something besides winning would actually cause them to look at negative things in themselves and other people and wonder if they're really such a winner that they claim to be, or whether it's just everybody else that is the bully, or the self-serving asshole, or the narcissist, or the negative influence.

Cometta-Kazi

Pronunciation: \ˈkä-mət-ah-ka-zee\
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English comete, from Old English cometa, from Latin, from Greek komētēs

One who, after playing the role of martyr by dramatically falling on the proverbial sword, actually lives through the 'said' episode to complain endlessly and render guilt upon an unsuspecting and sympathetic listener.

Phil was on the brink of blowing his own brains out after his Italian mother, a true Cometta-Kazi, volunteered to have everyone over for Thanksgiving dinner and then bitched and moaned about how much work it would be.
