Athlete's mouth.
OK, if you read Manic's post yesterday, (Shame on you if you don't read Manic mom every day) you saw a fine example of yours truly talking before thinking. It's a gift I have and I use it often.
So anyway, last weekend a bunch of us were crammed in a mini van going out for our dinner break at the conference. The new Eagles CD came up as a topic of conversation. I proceed to go on an extended diatribe against the evil empire that is Wal Mart and how I respect the Eagles a little less because they signed an exclusive deal with them.
I got some laughs so I kept it up for most of the evening. A good time was had by all.
Then during the ride home I find out that my friend, who was in the car, had just signed a major recording deal with a record company that deals with Wally World in a major way.
Fortunately, she thought it was funny. We also had a great talk about why Wal Mart sucks so she will know why people are making that face at her when they find out.
It took me at least a half an hour to get my foot out of my mouth that night.
Thought for the day -
I wish that my mouth wasn't faster than my brain.

i was really upset when that woman wrote that in response to your comment. i think comments should be your comments. she was wayyy out of line to beat up on you like that! i was really upset for you.
don't let those folks get you down. i like your honest comments!!
keep them coming.
Kay - Thank you for your support. (Now I sound like an old wine cooler commercial) But don't be hard on her. She wrote a very nice follow up and all was cool.
i didnt think your comment on MM was inappropriate either. no emergency foot extraction required :)
So how did your foot taste?
oh how i can relate...
Melek - Thanks, I got more attention for my comment than I get on my own blog. You gotta love Manic. Thanks for stopping by.
Trish - A little like haggis, but not as spicy.
Patti - I think we've all been there at some point.
pssst - we all wish that...
