A Gentleman Always Makes Good On His Bets

I really need to start keeping track of my bets. Perhaps some sort of notebook system, organized by dates, subjects, and people? I say this because the situation of:
  • Nate, Pirates are only 3 games below .500. You owe me a Pepsi Classic.
  • Nate, Penguins won the cup, you have to shave your head.
  • Nate, you have to detail my car, so-and-so and what's-her-name are still dating.
These are all actual conversations, text messages, or demands I have heard in the last week or so. This leads me notice two things about myself.
  1. I rarely seem to bet money, rather using tasks or food items as payment
  2. I have little faith in hometown sports teams and friends' dating abilities
I always think you should bet only when you know you'll win, when you won't miss what you lose, or when you secretly are happy if you do lose.

A Gentleman Is Always Resourceful

Wow, over a month since my last post. I have obviously not been very gentlemanly.

A text from last night from my sister:

So... our house got tped and dads reaction to it was: Oh look we got some free toilet paper [sic]!

Now what may you may think is: Your Dad really knows how to make light of a inconvenient situation. You would be wrong. I have no doubt that he has a pile of toilet paper in his bathroom. A gentleman is always resourceful.

This leads me to think that your house getting T-P'ed is the easiest prank that you can wipe your ass with.
