The person below me

[ygmir]

boy howdy!!!! I found gifts left, that, I don't know who left 'em.......but, dang, I'm sorry I missed whomever it was!!
and, yes, I'm still unpacking Frankencamper.......

TPBM still can't quite concentrate on "default life"

[Trishntek]

Yeah no shit! I wanna go home!!!

TPBM still feels a bit overwhelmed with the cleaning and sorting and losing and finding playafied stuff

[Sic Pup]

True dat, was a home a week before I tackled it in earnest. At this stage, two weeks from playa, I'm waiting for the tent and sleeping bag to dry and then I bag the few things left, shed them and get to see my garage floor again.

TPBM plans on a major upgrade to equipment for the next burn.

[gaminwench]

Improve God's shade, lights for MindyBo, new silks...

TPBM is engrossed in solving a playa mystery...

[lemur]

yeah!!!!

how the fuck did things go THAT good this year? did it seem easy because i wasnt there every second? or was it because i kicked ass!?

who knows!!!


THE PERSON BELOW ME is a friggen SLACKER and still hasnt washed their burning man clothes

[The CO]

I washed some of them.... I am a slacker.

TPBM is loving solar technology right now.

[lemur]

yes indeed.. it is amazing how good aluminium foil is at blocking 100% of the sunlight from entering a window.

where are my kleenex box shoes?...

...300 and how many days before burning man?

*sets an alarm clock*


tpbm needs to turn down their TV, those commercials are blasting really loud!!

[theCryptofishist]

Maybe, but I'd have to turn in on before I could turn it down...
TPBM is shocked that this has gone on for 100 pages. (3000+ posts)

[Eric]

with this group I'm almost never shocked.


tpbm has stopped posting in the "Stop Posting" thread

[OregonRed]

I don't believe that I ever started.

TPBM is debating using a playa outfit for Halloween this year or creating a new Halloween costume which will become a playa outfit next year.

[junglesmacks]

Oh I've been waiting for the moment that I can sport the 1,440 LED lightsuit in public on Halloween downtown since before BM. If the reaction at BM was crazy, I can't even imagine in downtown Orlando!

TPBM is going crazy sitting in front of the computer screen and can barely take it anymore..

[H.G.Crosby]

shit, i went crazy many many years ago, before computers.

TPBM donated liquor to the dpw on the way out to keep the DRUNK in DPW.

[Eric]

Didn't have any left. If I bring liquor to drink, I drink it!


tpbm finally stopped bringing beer to the Event because they realized they don't actually drink it there

[Trishntek]

I didn't bring any but all the Cannucks camping with us kept us well supplied. In fact, we brought home about a case each of MGD and horse piss/Bud.

TPBM prefers Ale over beer

[BAS]

Yes, but I prefer hard cider or vodka based drinks over both.

TPBM doesn't do alcohol on the playa.

[theCryptofishist]

I do. But I don't drink much anywhere. When I was in my 20s and trying to go to nightclubs and all that, I never drank much, because I worried about my safety. I probably missed out on all sorts of adventures.
TPBM had all my adventures in his or her 20s, dammit!

[Elorrum]

I had yours, I had the mormon tabernacle choir's, I had oh, dear, my head is spinning... mr. wizard, I don't want to revisit my twenties.



tpbm is open to new interpretations of fun

[Eric]

half the time I'm inflicting those interpretations on others...



tpbm takes the path more travelled

[theCryptofishist]

I'm lucky to find a path at all.
TPBM is plotting for decompression.

[gaminwench]

ohhh, yesssss...

TPBM attends more than one Decom...

[theCryptofishist]

Last year, I didn't do even one.
TPBM always compresses a nice line in his pants.

[lazerfox]

if by his you mean my boyfriend's then sometimes...but only if he asks nicely. Otherwise he does it himself.

TPBM is thrilled with their current reading selection and wants to share it with the world.

[robbidobbs]

I'm currently reading a biography of WC Fields by Robt Lewis Taylor. It's fantastic! Thank you for mentioning it.
tpbm is putting together his winter reading list, and it's getting more complicated all the time.

[Eric]

Thanks to Fishy I have a short stack of history books to go through that should keep me busy for at least 6 weeks. I don't really do lists, too limiting at the book store!


tpbm needs to add more bookshelves...

[gaminwench]

always... I once had an actual library in my home; missing that sooo...

TPBM always reads the book, before seeing the movie...

[robbidobbs]

Nope - sometimes I'll hunt down the book after I've seen the movie. I do this frequently, and it's often a charming representation with artistic license and greatly truncated. In one case I read the book at the same time as watching the movie - that was a long weekend of andromeda strain.
tpbm feels guilty sometimes about not reading all the books that they'd like to because of life interruptions.

[Trishntek]

Been that way for years and years,,, books in boxes alloverdaplace

TPBM still has most of their college books

[robbidobbs]

I had to give up nearly all of my college books due to living gypsy for so many years.
tpbm still has at least a couple of their books from their childhood.
Struwwelpeter anyone?

[Savannah]

I made off with as many of my childhood books as possible the last time I visited my father's house. Alas, no Struwwelpeter, but among the favorites are Harriet the Spy, the Little House books, a lot of Beatrix Potter, Little Women, Little Men, Richard Scarry books, Liza Lou and the Yeller Belly Swamp, A Little Princess, scads of fairy tales including The Brothers Grimm, Tatterhood (delightfully feminist) and ones from Africa (Mom tried to be so balanced) and about a million Agatha Christie Novels. And a really amazing book called Mrs. Twiggly's Tree, which is perfect for ages 3-6, with beautiful illustrations . . . and it's all about radical inclusion. It reminds me very much of the Tips for Shy People thread.

The person below me danced around to strange vinyl records as a child, thanks to the tastes of parents or siblings.

[Eric]

My dad raised me on Dixieland jazz, swing and classical music, my mom got me interested in 1940's pop. I would hardly ever listen to then current music when I was a kid (and I'm still dieing inside- my dad forgot I wanted his collection & donated it )


tpbm wants some Kim-chee right now.
