i have mad rationalization skills and they come in handy as long as i make sure i don't use them for evil.

or if i do use them for evil, that i rationalize my way back to good asap.

This one time I ate so much pizza at a pizza buffet that I thought my stomach was going to burst.

My sister said she would bet me that I couldn't eat more than 15 pieces (five pieces = one pizza). So I ate and ate and ate. When I finished my 15th slice, I went back for a piece of dessert.

She had to drive back; it hurt to sit in a normal position, so I slid my car seat as far back as I could. I had to unbutton my pants. When we got back home, I ran to the toilet. My butt exPLODED!! Oh man!

What did I win? NOTHING!! She said that she WOULD bet me, but we didn't discuss terms.

you should have talked terms first.

however, what does that have to do with rationalization?

[huckfinn.livejournal.com]

It was a lesson learned. From then on, I talk terms before acting.

however, what does that have to do with rationalization?

You mean we have to keep comments on topic?

[bertine.livejournal.com]

i learned taht lesson long ago but then again my family played games for money. always get the terms.

nope, just you could say "off-topic" so i know you aren't "on-topic"

It would be so much fun to have an outside job. Then again, it's really hot outside today.

[huckfinn.livejournal.com]

Off-topic.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

nah, i am too much of a pussy for an outside job.

Re: off-topic

[bertine.livejournal.com]

i don't know yet. depends on the rollout.

[f-o-n-y.livejournal.com]

i care not about a rollout. this is not important to me.

i need to go home and make 9 million phone calls. i need a secretary.

[f-o-n-y.livejournal.com]

i don't believe that you didn't win. you always win. I HATE YOU.

[huckfinn.livejournal.com]

Well, I won, but I didn't win anything from her.

The pizza buffet was $5.95. I don't know where anyone can buy three pizzas for under $6.

VICTORY WAS MINE!!

i'm confused about your frugality in the face of your enormous wealth. is that how you stay so rich?

[huckfinn.livejournal.com]

It's something I learned from marriage.

"What's mine is mine. What's yours is mine."

[f-o-n-y.livejournal.com]

except for the child support you owe me.

[huckfinn.livejournal.com]

All of a sudden, I didn't really win the jackpot.

[f-o-n-y.livejournal.com]

i'd have to agree with you there. you're doing an awesome job of this.

it's an art form!

[bertine.livejournal.com]

yeah, i love how i can pull out the weirdest things and just make it the basis of my rationalization.

it is better this than the way i was going.

[f-o-n-y.livejournal.com]

hell yes.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

i sort of regret it working out this way but yeah, much better.

I think mad rationaliztion skills are genetically linked to estrogen. (Just ask any woman, they will tell ya)

And yes, I know I am now in trouble in one form or another.

I want to see someone shoot themselves with a cross bow!! I think life as I know it would be altered forever.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

you might have a point but i have honed these to an art form. i blame it on too much tv.

feh, trouble is ok, i am not in that mood today. LOL

[short-angry.livejournal.com]

Too much TV is not a bad thing.

Television . . . America's baby sitter since 1955.
