It's the damn truth! Every time I try to get into it, someone busts out the Wu Tang Clan going 'No really, this shit legit' I smile and look at them like finally I understand the meaning of all things rap when I'm really just trying to think of a good enough excuse to get the hell out of there.

Phew!

TPBM think's I'm an asshole
The answer is never no.

Bang a Gong! not love, or even affection, but specific familiarity.

tpbm has kept a much used and dog eared rolodex.

I'm vegetarian who eats "fakin", otherwise it would just be a meaningless label.


tpbm gets annoyed with the fact that most labels are indeed meaningless.

It's true. I was raised to read labels.That information is there to be used!

TPBM likes to read in the bathroom, to the point where if there are no magazines, s/he will read the labels on toiletries and cleaning products.

Yes, I do, in fact! Just now, I checked my email, and there was a letter from a young Nigerian bureaucrat who is offering me a business partnership! I'm going to make $24 million dollars, just for helping to transfer some money out of his country! Oh, frabjous day!

This business is totally legitimate, and the money is a real thing that's real. Please don't try and convince me otherwise.

TPBM has a bridge to sell me.
