That’s ok, **Rhythmdyl** stole that line anyway. Back on topic, when there’s no way out, you make sure you and your buddy have fully loaded pistols, you nod at each other, and you go on three. Of course, then the world turns to a black & white lithograph, and you hear some guy with a Spanish accent order “FIRE”… ---

There’s always several ways out. Some are just harder than others. Things you can’t imagine doing or happening will soon just be part of your past if you do them. So decide what you want to live with. Boy am I glad I didn’t have to kill that psycho-bitch coke-head roommate I had when I was too young to realize I didn’t have to stay trapped in the apartment with her, and that she really wasn’t going to be able to kill all my family like she threatened! Sure seemed the only way out at the time. ---

Kick everything into the larger context, invert the definition of “in” and “out”, and observe that nothing that is outside can force its way in. ---

If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating, (Stopping there both for copyright reasons and cuz sometimes I give way to hating . . . ☹ ) ---

> [@AHunter3](#): > > Kick everything into the larger context, invert the definition of “in” and “out”, and observe that nothing that is outside can force its way in. I just thought to post something similar… but couldn’t word it as well as you. “Call for someone to get me out.” “If you’re with someone else, I would complain about the situation we’re both in until they can’t take it any more, and take their own life. You’ll feel better that you didn’t physically have to kill him so to use him as a food source.” “there’s simply nothing you can do” “Get verbally pissed off at the red ghost wile slamming my Pacman machine”" ---
