So we have a series of "dark" confession threads.

However, I think that petty confessions may be funnier. So 'fess up to the small transgressions or manipulative acts that you have committed in the past day or so.

I accidentally bumped my dog off our dock and had to jump in after her with all my clothes on to keep her from getting tangled in skiing line. I then explained to my neighbor who saw that it was my dog's fault and that she knocked me into the water.

No. 2: I bought a 24-pack of Busch Light and a bottle of Fructis hair conditioner. I decided to go into the self-scan checkout so that nobody would see I was buying conditioner.

You went to self checkout for conditioner, but not for the horse piss you were buying ?

Buying **** beer doesn't expose him as gay, so he's not embarrassed about that.

I save up farts for when I walk past French people eating outside.

Andrew Stephens · Jun 30, 2008, 08:19 AM

When I'm eating outside I pretend to be French just in case anyone feels like farting on me, because I love the smell.

I thought that hamsters or gerbils were the preferred animal in Hollywood.

Ever been in any films osiris? You know, the nudge-nudge-wink-wink kind ?

osiris · Jun 30, 2008, 08:47 AM

Sure - been in them and have made them, but they're all banned.
Something about an underage Furby or something.

Now that's petty. and silly.

Kerrigan · 11:34 AM

When I feel like drinking something nice, I get out the top shelf bourbon. In between those times, I'm content with drinking massive quantities of Busch Light or Milwaukee's Best Ice. Or Natural Light, or PBR, or Milwaukee's Best Light, or Keystone Light. Often I will venture into the world of Schlitz, Colt, Boone's Farm (yes), Steel Reserve, and many other types of malt liquor.

I do not waste my money on Bud Light, Queers Light, or anything with any hint of lime or grape or any other fruit, or anything brewed by InBev, or anything that GDIs drink, or anything that comes from Germany, or anything that claims to have low carbs.

We're working for a very hot MILF right now and I've been checking out her ass all day....especially when she bends over to talk to her kids

design219 · Jun 30, 2008, 12:09 PM

I've been bucking for a new tractor, and have sort of been misrepresenting the condition of my current one to my wife for the last year or two. Last week I accidently took out about 30 feet of fence with the bushhog and I blamed it on the hydraulics not working properly. I've spent a couple hours cutting and untangling the barb wire from the blades... complaining loudly. I think she is close to suggesting we get a new tractor.

Or tell her you WILL BE getting a new tractor. Period.

I don't believe manipulation pays off in the long run.

Were talking a lot of money for something we don't use that often. I don't tell my wife I'm going to spend 15K without us both seeing the need to. Hell, we can afford it, but life goes a little smoother with a consensus about things like this. And yes, I've mentioned it, but not pushed it.

And yeah, it is a little petty manipulation, but that's what we're talking about.

Uhm, yeah.

You want consensus, and achieve it by manipulation ?

Even more: you admit it's a lot of money, but you don't find it odd to manipulate your wife into agreeing to this ?

Sorry, don't want to derail. Just wanted to say that.

Try not driving the tractor **** hammered.

Judge not, and ye shall not be judged.

Uncle Doof · Jun 30, 2008, 02:37 PM

You are all pansies.

I shouldn't have said that, since it made me sad. See, my actual proper pansies died last week because I hadn't been bothering to water them, since stuff like that just isn't rock and roll. But, while it lasted, it was quite pleasant seeing their pretty little faces looking up each morning towards the grey, desolate skies which pass as "summer" in these parts. Now they're dead. I killed them.

analogika · Jun 30, 2008, 03:02 PM

Now that's a pansive mood, for Doofy.

Are you sure you're him?

Uncle Doof · Jun 30, 2008, 03:06 PM

Rock stars have feelings too!
Well, when we've been off our faces on Budweiser for the better part of the day we do.

I wasn't saying you should get out and buy one (unless you're independently wealthy), but that you should communicate your desires. If you want something, say that you want it. Don't pretend the old one is broken.

I don't think that will help you a lot. You'll have to wait until she picks up on it and decides to let you know she has picked up on it. She's in control, not exactly the way two equals should treat each other.

As far as I can tell, marriage seems to be something that's always portrayed poorly. Many of you may really enjoy it, but anytime things are talked about, it's always the negative aspects.

So, you know, it might not be as bad as he makes it seems.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a long-term relationship guy myself, I know about the positive aspects and I appreciate them a lot. But to me, a serious relationship is always about a relationship of two equals. If she wants something from me, tell me (usually that's the problem, women are less direct). If I want something, I'll tell her.

There is no consensus by manipulation, just a consensus by discussion.

It's a matter of attitude -- I doubt that'll change. Either you prefer a relationship of equals or you don't. I, for my part, don't.

It's not that. I have the feeling the attitudes change once that ring hits the finger.

Good God no. I didn't state that well at all from some of the reactions...I have a great partnership. If I really need a new tractor, I'll get one. But it's really kind of a toy at this point. And as for petty manipulation, it's all in fun, and we both know it (my wife is not an idiot).

At the same time, you guys that are not married may not see how it really works. It's like being elected to congress... you have grand expectations of what you will accomplish, but the reality is you have to make compromises all the time to do anything.

The real question is who is the dominant one.
