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?

[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!

[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!!

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]

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.

[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"

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

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."

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

[huckfinn.livejournal.com]

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

[bertine.livejournal.com]

[bertine.livejournal.com]

I don't take 35E to 94 anymore. I jump on 494 and miss all that junk when I exit onto 94 just before Radio Drive.

I tried doing 35E to 94 one day and shot myself with a crossbow.

Haha! When I see his first and last name together without a space to separate them, it looks like "mighty hail garbage"!!

Oh, man. That was fun.
