Thank god for "society" and its social mores. Otherwise I'd be an evolutionary dead end.

I'm like the retarded rat that never learns to stop shocking itself. I can't distinguish between the two buttons! Which one is food?! Which one is shocks?!?!?!??!

You see, for all the faux intelligence I front on this site, I am remarkably stupid when it comes to common tasks. Take, for instance, going to the grocery market.

I have told myself again and again to NEVER go to the grocery market when I am hungry. NEVER. NEVER. BUT I NEVER DO LEARN, DO I?

I spent $92.80 at the grocery market. And none of it on any food of real substances. I bought donuts, ice cream, chips, salsa, microwave dinners, AI sauce, sodas, candy ...

... it didn't seem to be that much when I put it in my cart...

:(

. . .

I didn't get to watch the whole Super Bowl because I was tutoring, but the few times I watched were when Donovan decided to suck things up horribly. What was up with that INT he lobbed up after hit other INT got negated cause of a penalty? Yeah, underthrowing a lob is real smart into the Patriots secondary.

The thing is that the Patriots looked real vulnerable. If McNabb had more of his comfortable moments (like when he threw that nice pass down the middle to Freddie Mitchell for that TD in the last two minutes), the Eagles would of won this.

Donovan, this loss is squarely on your shoulders.

It took me awhile to get my grocery scheme down, but I did it. Now I shop so efficiently, it's much better if I do it instead of my mother. Going together also cancels out any gained efficiency because I'm always second guessing her selections.

You'll find your style! Then you'll be able to do it in your sleep.

what you do, is you start eating stuff while you're shopping. Just start opening bags of chips and munch away. Don't worry, you're not doing anything illegal, you'll still pay for the food you eat. This helps because as you're getting full, you'll put stuff back on the shelves, and not get so much. It's genius! You should pay me to be your life consultant. I'll be there to help you with every decision you make. I charge a pretty low fee too. Let me know, you have my number.
