The person below me

[Eric]

Nah, my kiddie-crush was the boy from "Escape to Witch Mountain"



tpbm still remembers their first kiddie-crush as well

[catinthefunnyhat]

Yeah, Bob from Sesame Street. See? SO CUTE!

Yeah, I was a nerdy kid.

TPBM crushes stuff for fun and profit.

Fishy: You can still get Smarties in Canada, and I'm pretty sure still in cardboard tubes -- no, boxes. Boxes are different than tubes. I know that. And no, if you meant tubes, I don't remember that. Sigh...

[Simon of the Playa]

i crush things for spite.


tpbm is wondering what they do to canadians to make them lust after someone as dull as bob from sesame street.

[catinthefunnyhat]

It's the long, dark winters. Our souls are crushed by them at an early age.

TPBM sold their soul for a packet of peanuts back in 1973, and has never once missed it.

[theCryptofishist]

In 1973 it would have been Smarties.
TPBM also remembers exotic childhood candies from a youth spent, in part, abroad.

[shroom]

never went abroad until I was an adult, but I was the weird child who LOVED boxed candies like Russel Stovers instead of the brightly colored kid stuff. Give me fancy chocolate any day.

TPBM wants to go for a swim. (I know I do)

[theCryptofishist]

Whatdayathink? I'm a fish!
TPBM is baking tonight.

[AntiM]

No, the oven won't be on, the temperature has dropped outside, and I don't smoke pot.

tpbm likes huckleberries

[theCryptofishist]

I'm not sure I've had them. Although, I did have "wild blueberries" on my oatmeal this morning, so maybe I have.
TPBM has had wild hickory nuts.

[junglesmacks]

That could be taken many, many ways. I like to keep them as steel as possible these days.

TPBM was always slightly annoyed by Mr Rogers, regardless of the age at the time..

[shroom]

I always liked him but the puppets weirded me out.

TPBM is going out for dinner this weekend.

[Eric]

Did that last night- delish, but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over-priced for what's basically a taqueria


tpbm knows the difference between a taqueria and a bodega

[theCryptofishist]

No, but I"m willing to fake it if I need to impress someone. I mean I almost know...

TPBM thinks fingers inky from fountain pens are deeply cool.

[Eric]

yep- makes me want to dig out my pretty pretty Watermans...


tpbm has held something non-vehicle/ non-property worth more that $50,000 (jewelry, pen, stone, sculpture, painting...)

[Simon of the Playa]

yes, in a briefcase, in 20's.

tpbm kinda knew this anyway.

[theCryptofishist]

"knew"? no. But I know you have amazing depths of odd experience.
TPBM finds it intimitating to be on the same web page as Simon, sometimes.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Most times. He's like our resident eccentric celebrity. I try to act cool when he's around but mostly end up tripping on my shoelaces or something.

TPBM recently tripped on something unusual.

[theCryptofishist]

No.
TPBM has a favorite typeface.

[Simon of the Playa]

of course, it's Helvetica.
[vimeo][/vimeo]
TPBM sometimes wishes they were swiss...

[Simon of the Playa]

ill answer my own question with a "yes"

TPBM has mixed feelings about this.

[catinthefunnyhat]

About you playing with yourself in public? I'm used to that by now. But usually you use a sock, so I guess the lack of sock is surprising. Hmm.. mixture of surprise and not-surprise? That makes my answer to your question "yes."

TPBM is planning a surprise for someone.

[theCryptofishist]

Nah.
tpbm prefers ale to pilsner.

[Eric]

I prefer Single Malt to both. As I get older I realize more & more that I'm just not a big beer fan.


tpbm agrees

[FIGJAM]

Well, I once traded 500 pounds of weed for 500,000 hits of purple double dome if thats what you mean.

TPBM knows what that means.

[junglesmacks]

All too well. Too, too well.


TPBM thinks Geishas are creepy.

[theCryptofishist]

I find the western male obsession of anything that vaguely looks like prostitution depressing.
TPBM knows that the geisha is more complicated than that in Japan at least.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Yes. Courtesans for hire and all that.

TPBM read Memoirs of a Geisha and found it disappointing.

[maryanimal]

No.

tpbm secretly likes to blow bubbles.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Not much of a secret. I don't often take baths, but when I do... blublublublub...

TPBM makes origami animals.

[theCryptofishist]

Too fussy.
TPBM makes newspaper photos of current politicians into paper dolls.
