A Not-So-Simple Bet

Please, don't bother.

Unless you wanna go back and forth exchanging insults over the internet every day, I suggest you both drop it. Because really, its pathetic.

So after saying what Deacon was saying/doing (whatever) was pathetic.. you turn around and do the exact same thing? Somehow, I believe this makes your point moot.

If your skin's so thick, why go off on (what you will find out is) one of Deacon's many diatribes? Seriously, you can't walk around here without stepping in one. By the way, I'm not a "Me-Too" to Deacon's "Big Dog"(He is, in fact, "Deacon" more often than not ). Most times I completely disagree with what he says... and other times I wish he'd shut up because he's got me completely pegged. I know it's hard, but if you take the effort to step away from the situation and imagine that a total stranger had posted everything here, you might recognize the validity of his point.

You called yourself a |\|008. If so, expect a little bit of friendly hazing. When you consider yourself a regular poster, expect to be the subject of some friendly (or not-so-friendly) ribbing. Either way: If you want kid-glove treatment, stay in GTKY

I've got to remember that everyone takes me so damn seriously.

Sometimes Deacon, I think you say what a lot of people are thinking.. so it's hard not to take it seriously..

although it IS the internet and there are a good amount of people who take nothing seriously on here...

[legomaxx]

Hahaha! Well met by all, I must say. And no hard feelings, eh? I appreciate all your comments, be them as they may. You're all good people (crazy, but then again so am I), so it's fine.

And when I win my bet (and I will) I'll split the money with you all for being so supportive, well, in a metaphorical sense of course.

Look dude, if you don't win the bet, its pretty sad. People are always looking to take their anger out on something, especially women...Hah, sorry if that was offensive ladies.

Deacon has a lot of points, and so does HRTN, I'd like to hear of this "plan b" that's so much better than anything the people here have offered.

This thread has me thinking what it would take to make me kick a stranger in the behind. I honestly don't think that anyone could say or do anything (apart from letting me in on the bet and perhaps buying me off) to make me kick them. I just can't imagine inflicting violence on a perfect stranger. I'm just not built that way.

Now if it was someone I know and love then I'd kick them at the drop of a hat.

...and she does. Okay, not really. But when I do something boneheaded, I do invite her to smack me before I tell her what it is. She waits for the explanation before she decides whether it's worthy of a smack or just an eyeroll.

Don't worry, i haven't taken you seriously for a long time.

Well, Plan "B," as it were, is as follows:

I pretend I'm on the phone with someone, arguing over something. I'll be loud, loud enough so that the girl in question hears me talking, and I'll say, "Yes! It IS funny, it's a smart line and a smart crowd will appreciate it." "I guarantee you anyone would agree with me." "Fine! I will!" Then I turn to the girl and say, "Ok, I need your opinion on something." More than likey, the girl will say ok, to which I will respond, "I'm having an argument with my g/f over whether or not a certain joke is funny, and I'd like an outside perspective." Again, the girl probably won't mind, so I'll continue. "The only stipulation is, in order for the joke to be funny, you have to kick my ass, like literally." If she's still around by that point, I'll tell her the following: "Do you think you're tough?" "Do you think you're hot shit?" "Do you think you can kick my ass?" Of course I'll walk her through it so she'll know to say 'yes' and what not, and I'll add in little things here and there depending on how she responds, but it will ultimately bring me to the punchline: "You think you can kick my ass? PROVE IT!" and of course, if I did everything right, she should kick me. The punchline of the joke: "Oh shit, I just got my ass kicked by a girl."

Now before you say anything, realize that I know tha that is corny and stupid and everything else, BUT I tried it on this girl, she did it, and she actually laughed pretty hard. Granted she's not the sharpest tool in the shed, but it worked, and I barely know her. So I'm hoping it will work on whomever I'm told to approach.

Since now, everything else has involved paying the girl off, so, shitty as my plan may be, I think it's the best (if only by the simple virtue of the fact that there or no others) 'free' approach so far.

I know you guys probably think it's shitty, and you're probably right, but I'm open to hear any ideas!
