Reading Demiurgic's journal

You know when you get angry and instead of fighting back at the person who made you angry, you say nothing at all. Then after the confrontation you think of a million things you could have said to the person that would have been 10 times better than what they said. Most of these comebacks disapper over time but I've realized that some of these stick with you. Even if you never have gotton in a fight but you have these prepared arguments to a specific thing someone says. Sometimes Iv'e thought mine were so good that I would try to instigate the fight just to find closure to the last fight I had with this person that he/she probably doesn't even remember.
It can be as simple as something you've heard on the simpsons like, "when you assume, u make an ass out of u and me." So now your trying to get everyone around you to say the word "assume." Then you become impatient and say it where the comeback makes no sense.
Well, I have a few comebacks of my own for some friends/enemies.....I will come prepared.

It is better to be pissed off than pissed on.

I c what u mean but did you ever think that if you would have said those things you thought about later, that things might have been worse! Things always happen for a reason, and i think you didnt get to say certain things for a reason! And fighting might not be the best thing to do, i am a fighter but sometimes i jus have to say "hey lets jus talk bout it!" And it is much better resolved!

live your life to the fullest you only get one shot at it!

Demi, I rated your post prettry high because i think it's just a universal thing that everyone thinks about at some point.

But it's just such a goofy thing to try to instigate arguements with people so you can use the "later lines" during a contrived arguement.

The beuaty of "great comebacks" is their spontonaeity. I get hung-up on retorts too. Who doesn't? But something that helps me is to write haiku. It helps focus mind on short answers, and distilling what's important. In essence, it causes one to think.

Try it. You might help.

Ah, one liners...My only claim to fame. I seemed to be blessed with this thing called wit and timing. I have never lost a verbal argument...I think i've lost two debates out 37 (and my other two speakers didnt sahow up so i wrote their speeches for someone else to read!)

God, i'd be screwed if i couldn't come up with one-liners. The amount of times they've saved me embarasssment, and from getting my head kicked in.

Look at me! I'm a prostitute robot from the future!

May the gods have mercy on the poor soul that we gang-up on.

My schweetie's friend from back-when came up to visit. He was driving, and doing a piss-poor job of it. Schweetie and I were going back and forth in our customed fashion. How could I know it was a sore spot? His poor friend almost lost it. I thought he was going to make us walk.

"THIS IS NOT HELPFUL," he screeched, once we were out of the car.
"Is he for real?" I asked.
"Very much," Schweetie says.
"Oops"
A look.
"Wow, then I'll have to officially not annoy him. Schweetie, do one of your funny 'I'm ignoring you' voices."

And on I went ignoring him to his face.

Eventually we started talking once again.

I like this expression:
"Don't raise your voice,
when you should reinforce your arguement."
