Confession is good for your deal loving soul. What’s your confession?


Dino Nuggets are awesome, even for adults. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I let the dogs out. Around 1971 our town built a new dog pound. The newspaper ran a play-by-play on its progress all summer. When they finally got it finished and were going to have a grand opening the next day, my friend and I went to see it. We felt sorry for the dogs and saw there were no locks on the cages, so we opened all the cages and let them run free.

The Town: Who let the dogs out?

Good thing they didn't "SPOT" you.

I was a second or third grader when I wondered what the valve atop the large tank was outside a neighbors hurricane/bomb bunker was. So I turned it and nothing happened. The next day that end of the neighborhood was evacuated while the fire department blew out the propane gas that had filled it. I thought it best to keep my mouth shut until today.

I may have, not sure, pressed "bananas" at the self serve checkout when said bananas "may have" been organic bananas.



Hurts like a bastid...

In March 1982 I was driving along a residential area that of course had side streets crossing both ways. My direction had the right of way, only a flashing yellow light. The road that crossed over had a flashing red and a stop sign. I'm driving along and a van stopped at the red light, then proceeded to start pulling out right in front of me. I saw him and reacted by hitting the brakes and turned the wheel. I missed him completely but there was some wet sand in the intersection from a recent sanding, it was still winter. I missed him, but slid head on into the traffic light pole. Minor damage, 5 mph bumper of my 1981 did it's job, dented the bumper and cracked the grill.
Car was still drivable. I got an estimate, the other guy's insurance wanted to have their inspector look at it. Set that up for about a week later. In the mean time, I was driving on a twisty shaded road which apparently had something slippery on the road's edge. I turned, the car slid straight and bounced over a small divet for water run off.
When the inspector looked at the bumper damage from the accident, he said something like, "Oh my god, how did your repair shop miss this? The front end is off a full inch to the side. This whole front clip needs to be replaced."
I didn't say a word, let them fix it.

Couldn't happen today, insurance companies are floating in so much money today they no longer do inspections - sign the form and cash the check please.

I had a ‘65 Impala convertible that I bought with right front damage. I wired in a replacement single headlight (it came with dual headlights) and turn signal and drove it with no intent to repair; I even took a trip from Minnesota to Southern California. Flash forward awhile and some kid with a learners permit fails to see me approaching an interchange where he had a stop and I did not. I plowed right into him. My car was towed to a dealer lot and two weeks later an adjuster looked it over, without me being present, on a dark day with heavy rain. He did not detect the preexisting damage and my settlement, even after deducting the portion that was my fault, was significantly more than I paid for the car. I didn’t feel the need to mention the old damage.



Saint Cloud, Minnesota, where the weather is wonderful even when it isn't.

I throw it out as the occasional response here — this is the first time anybody has commented on it. :-)

EDIT: That last part is incorrect. A quick forum search shows that the first time I threw this out there was 13 years ago and that a number of folks have recognized it, most recently three years ago.

And I blew the quote — the actual line is “Clams got legs.” The ole memory ain’t what it used to be…



It is what it is.

True confession: I didn't like BC growing up, but I read it anyway because the one part of the newspaper that I was allowed to touch was the comics... After my dad was done with them.
