ESCAPE FROM BITCH MOUNTAIN


Pros: Sandals and white clothes look good on everyone!

Cons: Friends and family play along but malign you behind your back. Your new, more "centered" friends wear wooden jewelry, listen to ambient music, and smell bad.




Pros: Might keep you from marrying the wrong person, sticking with the wrong job, going crazy, beating someone up, or getting thrown in the slammer.

Cons: Expensive, unpleasant, and just downright cheesy. For a while, you have an irrational amount of hate for yourself, your family, and your friends, and they all hate you too. In theory, this is supposed to change eventually.
