The person below me

[C187]

You have no fucking clue how much I prefer brown sugar over white sugar.
TPBM also likes Indian food.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Yes. I love Indian food! It's the ultimate comfort food, as far as I am concerned.
I grew up with North Indian food (my best friend's parents were Punjabi), but I've been taking a liking to South Indian and Sri Lankan since living in my current neighbourhood.

TPBM has a pot of pens on his/her desk, most of which are dead.

[theCryptofishist]

I really try and throw them out when they die. I'm not centimentally attached. I try to keep a pot of some available for co-workers, and they sometimes don't throw them out. Twits.
TPBM knows who left that latex glove on the filing cabinet where the pens are...

[lazerfox]

My lips are sealed...I ain't no snitch.
But I did just buy a shit-ton of colored pens to use with my new sewing projects moleskine notebook but I promise they didn't go in the cabinet.

So.Fucking.Excited.
about this sewing notebook

TPBM got confused for a second and thought maybe they stumbled into the Fuck thread.

[theCryptofishist]

I'm always confused. Notice how many times I forget to make a tpbm statement.
TPBM thinks if it happens again, I should just be skipped over and the person below me should answer the statment of the person above me.

[catinthefunnyhat]

No. I think they should guess what you might have asked, and then answer that question without telling people what (they imagined) it was. The solution is not less confusion but more!

TPBM likes to answer rhetorical questions, such as "Hot enough for you?" as though they were asked in earnest.

[theCryptofishist]

No. Mostly I want to rant at the answers taken for granted by political rhetorical questions.
TPBM doesn't care, just so long as s/he gets to watch the Wizard of Oz twice a year.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Come to think of it, I've never actually watched it all the way through.

TPBM wonders what rock I've been living under all these years.

[theCryptofishist]

Black Rock?
TPBM brings freeze dried ice cream to the playa.

[lazerfox]

The list of items we want to try to bring and keep with dry ice is getting too long. Wait that is not the same as freeze is it? I do have some astronaut ice cream packets from my last visit to Kennedy Space Center. (My kid didn't like it much)

TPBM has never tried "astronaut" ice cream

[theCryptofishist]

Just once, years ago.
TPBM grinds it up and sprinkles on pancakes.

[lazerfox]

I'll have to remember that recipe this weekend...maybe they won't it to BM...

TPBM loves to make delicious pancakes from scratch

[catinthefunnyhat]

Yeah, although that's mostly my partner's job.
My dad makes even better ones, with sourdough (YUM!).

TPBM wonders if people get cabin fever from spending too much time on ePlaya.

[knowmad]

Wondering, no I don't like to think about it so I don't, it helps the time go by faster then we get dusty and then it sucks for 350 some days; repeat. I have a great social life.

TPBM if you had a TPBM thread problem, you'd tell us about it; wouldn't you?

[C187]

I do have a TPBM thread issue.. catinthefunnyhat clearly didn't get that I was talking about something completely different, while talking about the same thing. lol
TPBM sometimes refreshes this thread just to ponce an answer, instead of answering ones self.

[theCryptofishist]

I tend to go to some other part of the board, or the internet, and hope for the best.
TPBM can't help but interpret the lyrics in "That Beautiful Picture" (Roy Acuff) as they talk about "the Throne" as the other throne. And then god takes a shit and things get really complicated.

[jella]

I uh...well. I've honeslty never thought about it, I mean does he even have to ? Grammies loved Roy Acuff, Mansion on the hill still makes me cry :/

TPBM just looked up Roy Acuff.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Ha! No I did not! But I will right away...

TPBM makes friends with Canadians on the playa in the hopes of scoring a proper Caesar.


C187: I kinda went there in my head when I was making my post, but I wandered back to an innocent interpretation when I saw yours. Weird.

[theCryptofishist]

What's a proper Caeser? Ancient Roman Etiquette expert?
TPBM thinks that the Canadians make the best salads.

[Elorrum]

I had to "Google, eh?" that. Here's the kit:

I don't think Canadians make the best salads, but I have nothing to go on so maybe they do.

tpbm wonders if a caesar salad made at your table in a restaurant still occurs now that everyone is freaking worried about eating raw eggs.

[theCryptofishist]

I do remember when they tried to make it illegal in California, but then they compromised and said you could have one if the chef came out and made it in front of you...
TPBM wonders when someone will market a meat grinder to yuppie parents so their precious off-spring can eat hamburgers knowing that it came from just one cow...

[Foxfur]

(Arrgh! The wine is winning!)

Just give junior some utensils and a pet flossie...

TPBM wishes they could be as slow as me.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Elorrum: that kit is missing one extremely important ingredient: Vodka! Also, I don't see a lime there. I bet that kit was made by Australian agents provocateurs. *Shakes fist at the ground.*

Foxy: How slow are you? Are you saying it takes you all night? Now that I've gone there, I'm not going to answer the question that was posed of me.

TPBM is going to the Hof party this weekend!

[TomServo]

David Hasselhof's in Bakersfield?!!! no

TPBM thinks there's something sinister behind "PEEPS"

[Foxfur]

I do! This is why I eat them. Last weekend The CO gave me a Peep covered in day old bacon grease. It was delicious.

TPBM has a hankering for Eggs Turkmenistan with a side of borscht.

[theCryptofishist]

Eggs are something of a doubtful proposition for me. They're a little squirmy. I only eat them scrambled. I have no idea what makes and egg "Turkministan"...
tpbm thinks I should have answered Apok style, not honestly.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Probably, yes. I think the question was a little fishy (erm, different "fishy") to begin with: I Googled "eggs Turkmenistan" and got a lot of hits that had to do with the prices of eggs (and dairy) on that country's commodities market (?) as well as one that had something to do with egg-shaped gemstones (??!). Given that there's probably no such thing, then, as "eggs Turkmenistan," I think Foxy was angling for a clever response. I stayed away, because I'm not feeling clever.

TPBM is an expert in blue-green things.

[theCryptofishist]

Are you accusing me of being an algae hippie? Cause them's fightin' words!
TPBM thinks "nice dreads" are fighting words.

[catinthefunnyhat]

I think the proper phrasing is "nice locs."

And if you're talking to me, please note that my hair is just dry and prone to tangling. So no matter how you phrase it, a compliment on my dreadlocks really isn't all that welcome.

TPBM should've brought a flask of whiskey to work today.

[Foxfur]

I work at home (very unproductively) and have one. Err, two.

TPBM had a WTF moment today.
