Occurs when the debt owed from a friendly bet between two friends rises to an uncomfortable level causing one friend to cut ties with the other in lieu of paying up.
Robbie: "Did Justin ever make good on that golf wager you two made"
Randy: "Wouldn't know, he hasn't talked to me in weeks and he won't return my emails."
Robbie: "Sounds like you are the victim of a strategic friendship default."
Flipping through the deck over and over while playing the card game Solitaire even though there are no more moves available, denying that you have lost even though you already know it.
Guy #1: Dude, you've gone through the deck 3 times already. Give it up, you've lost.
Guy #2: ...So I have. I'm in solitaire denial again.

On Christians...
From a hilarious and worthwhile Livejournal entry, by way of the recently blogless Mr Brink.
To be fair to these perplexed and terrified people, Christians are not easy to understand. To begin with, there are roughly 2,000 years of history to grasp, and certainly more denominations and subdivisions than that to take on board. For people who were raised secular, I imagine it's like trying to understand an opera after coming in halfway before the end: the stage is crowded with people, two of them seem to be dead, a woman is wearing a hat with horns, and everyone is making a terrible racket.
Check out the young-looking Peter Mansbridge (he has hair) and the rest of the CBC newsteam as they explain to their curious viewers what the geeks are up to now. Footage was originally broadcast 8 October 1993 and is good for a chuckle.
Alternately, you can view the CBC's own archived video here.
