This is a MUST READ!

The moral according to Lis:

So what’s the moral of this story? The next time you get caught doing something stupid — whether it’s speeding, faking an illness to avoid work, or literally getting caught with your hand in a cookie jar — don’t just stand there foolishly accepting responsibility for what you’ve done. Simply explain that some addiction and/or Twinkies made you do it. It couldn’t hurt — and who knows, it might even get you off the hook!


The moral according to me:

If you find this to be scary or reprehensible, don't do it, and don't let anyone around you get away with it either. This game only works if it's enabled by someone.

Oh, come on, Nico. You're just addicted to truth. Go on, admit it. It'll make you feel better and get you off the hook the next time someone complains that you hate them and are being mean.

OMG, am I reading this right??? Twinkies??? There are actually people addicted to that gross cream filled fat laden yuk thing?

Not me, next time I get in trouble I will admit the the truth. The devil dog and the ring ding made me do it,




And Nico my addiction to fritoes is just between you and me.

Someone thinks I hate them or that I'm mean?? Say it isn't so!! :eek:

Why does disagreement so often result in those conclusions? That's something I've never figured out. Maybe an addiction to avoiding the issue?

UH OH....I can see this one becoming addictive!! :jumpers:

I know, they're gross, aren't they? Once in awhile I buy a pack just to bring them home to play with. You can sit on them, toss them against walls, hit them with hammers, float them in the bathtub, and they still maintain their shape!! :worthy: After that we feed them to moldy old Uncle Herman who no one likes! :eek: That's probably been a mistake though, because we're all waiting for our inheritance and it seems the the Twinkie diet has preserved Ole Herman in his current state for all eternity. Twinkies just might be the key to longevity, if you call that living! :jumpers:

I'd hate to think that you've left Livewire.FM out of your list of addictions, so you can blame us too! :wave2:

But of course! You know I'd never say a word!!!
