So, does the OCP still exist?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Of course it does. Alive and well in the Hot or Not thread. (^-^)/
I'd say most of us contributors in 41 have a little OCP, although they don't want to admit their condition.

t00ls are tedious for sure. While I'm on the subject, is OCP an apocryphal congregation of self-deprecating posers or have I guessed that completely wrong?
