I pit your rancid farts and am pleased I can’t smell them.
I pit myself for buying the child brain destroying games (though I kinda want to play Sponge Bob on gameboy :D). I also encouraged grandparents to destroy his brain. Oh bad bad me.
Well I didn’t want you to feel alone Shirley
Oh and on preview…I hate Lobsang cause he has a Terry’s choccy orange and I don’t!
How perfectly typical of the weak-kneed English, with their utter lack of personal responsibility and the entreprenuerial spirit. Were you American, you would hustle right over to Lobsang’s house, crack him smartly about the head, and then you would have those orange choccys!
I pit myself for turning 50 on Saturday. What do I have to show for 1/2 century of living. A crappy job, a two room apartment, and about 1,000 books and CDS.
I pit myself for spending too much money on Broadway.
I pit myself for losing my control over my appetite the past two years. I tells you, menopause is a BITCH.
I pit menopause.
I pit myself for never learning a foreign language, how to play a musical instrucment, or for travelling anywhere but to NYC.
This is a rather bleak Christmas tradition. Ok, I put myself for being a right bastard at times, especially when I’m not getting enough sleep, and for waiting so long to go to the doctor about acid reflux, especially when the prilosec has made me feel much better. Oh, and I pit myself for backing out of the garage in a hurry and ripping off the passenger side mirror, and I pit myself for being such a dick over The White Stripes issue on this board.
On the other hand, it’s been been a pretty good year. So Merry Goddamned Christmas, and God Bless Us, Every Goddamned One Of Us.

I pit myself for being rather touchy lately. My self-esteem and confidence are at an all-time high, yet I make really marginal pit threads about the most mundane thing that annoys me. Its like when my life is going well, I run out of legitimate things to pit.
I pit myself for only tipping the newspaper delivery girl $20. She deserved more. Through rain, sleet, snow or dread of night, my paper is always there on time. (OK, so it doesn’t sleet or snow that much here, but you get the picture)
I pit myself for not finishing the sickly-sweet love story that is to be delivered to a certain young lady on Christmas morning. Now I’ll certainly see the dawn’s early light while checking punctuation and trying to turn just one more phrase even more sickly-sweet. I further pit myself for posting in this thread instead of completing said task right now.
I pit myself for having more clear memories of New Year’s Eve mis-adventures than I do of Christmas mornings with family.
I pit myself for not listening to more Hank Williams Sr. music this past year.
I pit myself for opening political threads on the SDMB when I’m not really all that concerned with such.
I pit myself for not opening every one of Shirley Ujest’s threads, because they’re always a kick.
