I did two very bad things last night.
I bought beer at Wal-Mart, and, indirectly related, I ran over a raccoon on my way home from a party.

This is where you make the moral judgment whether I'm a truly horrible person or not. :P

3. Accidents happen, but I bet the racoon wasn't too please with you
right towards the end.

It's the Wal Mart thing that really gets me. I've never been in one in my life. Never will be either. You're grounded for a month.

4. The racoon's not so bad, although
Edited on Fri Jun-17-05 05:48 PM by OldLeftieLawyer
you will have to go back and clean it up as soon as you read this.

As for the beer at WalMart, well, no, that's just not forgivable.

You're doomed.

Like the racoon.

5. I can forgive you for buying beer at Wal-Mart,
but not for running over the raccoon. Did you stop and give him a decent burial?

12. the beer at Wal Mart is 50 demerits
the raccoon is 25 points

So, you're at -25.

Not that bad. Lighten up on yourself. Slam one of the beers in under 5 seconds and you're back in plus territory!

If there are such things. I was quite surprised they had non-American beer instead of that horse piss that comes out of St. Louis and Denver.

17. For your actions, your sentence is
thirty lashes with a wet noodle. If you had stayed away from Wal-Mart, that raccoon would still be alive.

25. No, I did not.
That would necessitate me driving under the influence. I always stop drinking at least two hours before I plan on leaving, and drink nothing but water between then and when I do leave. So I was pretty much sober.

32. Then I think that you have no bad karma.
We can only do the best that we can with what we have at the time.

In reference to Wal*Mart, it's your choice to make. My mother has a Wal*Mart right next to her, and she doesn't drive. Therefore, I was really rooting for it to come into her town because it would make life much easier for her. (Additionally, almost all of the mom & pop stores had already closed down in her town, so it wasn't going to put them out of business.) I know that this was selfish on my part, but I have to be honest -- I really did want them to come to her town.

I never go to Wal*Mart for any of my own shopping, but I go there with her.

Enjoy your beer!

22. If you hit a raccoon
it could've very well been rabid. Therefore you saved a lot of other animals and maybe a child from being bitten.

23. One time my mom was driving to work
She hadn't bought beer at Wal-Mart and she swerved to avoid a raccoon, her car flipped over, the raccoon died anyway, the car was totalled and she spent three weeks in the hospital.

All things considered, you did good.

itself must be returned to Wal-Mart.

You had a beer craving that had to be answered, and the racoon was an honest accident. Just don't let it happen again.

Plus I get a hysterical laugh every time I see the pic in your sig line. :rofl:

30. Yes, on both counts. Buying at Walmart is inexcusible.....
...and they're are probably some raccoon family members who are still anxiously waiting to see if Mom/Dad will ever make it home....

But the raccoon may have been unavoidable, so I'll cut you some slack on that. But the trip to Walmart.....never....

Sorry, I'll not excuse your guilt....

Walmart beer and a Raccoon? You'll be fine.
