The person below me

[theCryptofishist]

You're so cute when you're clueless...
TPBM is planning a party for next month.

[TomServo]

Kinda...going to the precompression thingy in Los Gatos.

TPBM loved History in High School.

[theCryptofishist]

It wasn't my favorite, but I love learning into my teens.
TPBM has seen Urinetown: The Musical.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Nope. I've seen Avenue Q -- not relevant to your question, but goes back to the stuff about adult versions of childrens' shows

TPBM has a brilliant idea for me.

[theCryptofishist]

Yes. Learn to play the flute and hire yourself out as a rat catcher.
TPBM is waiting for the perfect glow-bra.

[maryanimal]

I'd like to have one for when I ride my bike here at night. maybe with matching bike shorts?

tpbm hasn't been to a swap meet in years.

[theCryptofishist]

I've always been a bit confused as to the definition of "swap-meet".
TPBM has been to a swamp meet.

[maryanimal]

If you consider flooding and having the water sitting for a few weeks, then yes I have.
tpbm wishes there were still drive-in movies.

[catinthefunnyhat]

There are! We've got one or two here in Toronto (or just outside). I don't have a car, but I was talking with some friends a couple of weeks ago about maybe organizing a group outing to a drive-in in one of their cars.

TPBM likes to sleep with the window open.

[theCryptofishist]

Only in summer.
TPBM cannot help but see this:
as a bloated person with parasitic beings sucking from the spigots that are drawing off fluids.

[catinthefunnyhat]

I'm actually freaked out by how much that person looks like me when I had short hair. Only with four breasts, hooked up to a milking machine. Fortunately, I don't have four breasts. They really would make it uncomfortable to ever lie face-down.

TPBM thinks humans using a milking machine is pretty much the same as a parasitic being attached to spigots, except the attachment is indirect.



I actually had to stare at that picture for a long time in order to see them as microphones.

[knowmad]

yeah milk drinking is pretty gross! bleck!

pbm show me you boobies!

[theCryptofishist]

No.
TPBM loves useless facts like the name "Cooper" indicates a barrel maker in the family tree (unless, of course, there's been hanky-panky).
How do you think I came up with that, and the housemate had the exact same reaction.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Sorry; my camera's resolution is kinda low

EDIT: D'oh! Fishy beat me to it while I was, erm, adjusting the settings on my camera.
I do love useless facts like that. But what's Hooper then?


TBPM thinks my boooby picture was photoshopped. S/he "can tell by the pixels."

[theCryptofishist]

I can tell by the pixies.
(Hooper is some sort of raver girl. Simon will know for sure.)
TPBM looks to Simon for all sorts of information.

[gaminwench]

Simon is the Gawd of all Information (useless and otherwise)...

TPBM thinks Urinetown is an accurate portrait of the future...
(and the past)...

[catinthefunnyhat]

Yes. I have to pee.

TPBM thinks SoTP has been inattentive to his socks lately.

[Foxfur]

And his underwear...

TPBM wants sriracha on their tatas.

[theCryptofishist]

Sri Lanka on my taters? Not bloody likely.
TPBM likes non-standard swearing.

[Box Burner]

Effective swearing is an art form akin to cursing and should be an elective in JR High School.


TPBM usually swears in a language other than the one they normally use.

(@#%$#@&!!! that was hard to phrase)

[theCryptofishist]

Sometimes.
The Person Below Me threw one of those iconic parties in high school when his/her parents were out of town.

[catinthefunnyhat]

No. I was super-square.

My younger brother, did, though, and I spent the entire time in my room pretending to sleep (I wouldn't have been invited even had I wanted to attend). He cleaned up reasonably well the following morning, for a hungover-and-possibly-still-kinda-drunk teenage boy, but I discreetly did another pass after he'd gone out, and found all the well-hidden bottles and caps he had missed. I never said a word to either him or my parents, and he never got caught. I wasn't usually that nice a sister, but I was feeling oddly maternal towards him that day. I think I was impressed with the overall decorum at the party and his reasonable attempts at cleanup thereafter.

TPBM thinks it wasn't really one of those iconic parties if the police were never called and a thorough cleanup by two teenagers was actually possible.

[Eric]

It wasn't. An iconic party is one where you end up calling the police on your own party, your boyfriend ends up taking another friend to the emergency room, people can't get in because there's a 20 car police barricade around the building, the neighbor below you has her door kicked in for harboring the person who sent the guy to the hospital & the band continues to play through it all.*
*Halloween, 1989


tpbm has carved 30 pumpkins by themselves before

[theCryptofishist]

They cornered me in the BART station, late at night. All I had was my letterman...
Things got ugly...


...*whimpers*...

TPBM has PTSD induced by a different vegetable.

[shroom]

no but artichokes are weird

TPBM wants to tell us about flowers

[catinthefunnyhat]

My pea plants are flowering!

TPBM prefers canned peas to fresh.

[Box Burner]

Peas are evil. But sometimes I still put them in stews anyway because other people seem to like them. Little buggers probably deserve to be eaten.

TPBM is working on an art project that is not coming to the playa.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Does my garden count as an art project? I'm not really very arty.

TPBM lives and breathes art.

[lazerfox]

Other people's sure. I'm not very creative myself.

TPBM likes opera

[Box Burner]

Gardens are definitely considered art projects. But surely something from your garden will make it to the playa this year.


One little pea perhaps?



TPBM is going to celebrate a graduation this week.
