Altruism is a warm and fuzzy knife. 
Yep. There is no such thing as altruism. It expects another, equally fictitious emotion…gratitude.
We may not trully be selfless, but our selfishness tricks us into simulating it. s’good enough for me.
Frickin’ cynics, y’all!
Okay, maybe I should’ve given some more details.
In order to do “the right thing”, I walked away from about the only female who’s ever even remotely liked me. For someone who hated me, and probably still does.
Pretty vague, I know. I had to do it, though, so I probably shouldn’t whine.
Wow, that’s not altruism—that’s Now, Voyager, and you’re Paul Henried!
One of the most painful discoveries of my life…
Never cook bacon without a shirt on.
. . .flipping over onto your stomach with morning wood is not recommended.
or ironing naked. quite painful.
Um, so, vaguely, why’d ya do it for someone who hates you?
I guess that really would make it true altruism…
Gravity is a Whore!
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. I feel for you, man.
Well, yeah, but jeez, Zenster, hard not to be sometimes, ya know?
Ground beef is about the same. I’m known to do the “ground beef shuffle” (Yelp, jump back, swear, resume cooking) when cooking shirtless…
**Most painful discovery… **
Luxury cars are affordable.
Their repairs, however, are not.
I prefer “Gravity Sucks” but I quite agree with the sentiment. Try this for fun: Try riding a bicycle down a hill that’s a bit longer and steeper than you had first thought and then hit something in the road you didn’t spot going 45 mph …
Yes, gravity has a lot to answer for! :mad:
Cook bacon with no clothes on and then you will know pain.
But there is still bacon at the end so it’s OK.
Ok, so I’m curious. (Y’all know you all are too! Admit it!)
What exactly happened Gadfly? If it’s not too personal a thing to talk about…on an internet message board…
ermm…
And if you don’t feel like talkin’ about it, that’s fine too, just say so!
I prefer to cook it without a shirt on, since I don’t like getting grease all over my clothing.
