Re: The person below me
*kinda* secretly hiding it: part of why I don't see the hype is because i am vegan, and nothing beckons flack more in this society than walking into a room (or thread), saying, "Hi! I am a vegan, and therefore disavow bacon". So, yes, I do not get it. And yes, I am (barely) hiding that fact. (but years ago, I used to LOVE bacon before going veg, so I kinda do get it
)

Yeah, I have this long white wig that glows in the dark. It's from a halloween costume. It's all tangled but I figured it would be very playa-suitable, except then I examined it and realized it sheds. Sigh....

Much as I hate to say it, the combo of the name and avatar (and maybe some of what he's said) make me think he's kinda full of himself.

No, not really. When I was active with a facebook account in my own name, the past kind of lurked around corners and leered at me a lot. But I got away safely.

So I'm told, but I only wash my hands 20-50 times a day. (in my defense, I have a very loose definition of wash-spray bottle with soapy water followed by a wipe with shop rag, and used engine oil is a known carcinogen.)

Actually that's one of the few people I would probably answer. I know s/he isn't as bad a dude as his rep sounds. Those crazy old dudes screwed it up for him when they wrote this book and forgot to mention it was a novel.

I've never been a young man.
I did, however, just enjoy watching the trailer for it. It included the phrases phrases "abandoned banditry" and "high-spirited highwaymanry." Squee!

Hampers, actually. Giant zoom-zoom laundry hampers. And they'll be spewing out playa costumes that need to be washed. Only there will be no water to wash them in, and I'll try to throw them in the porta-potties to get rid of them, but I'll get busted by robbidobbs and taken to the brig. *pant, pant*

Re: The person below me
I wasn't at BM in 2011...
Last time I was there (which was also the first time), back in 2000, I did go to see the man burn. That was the first year of the temple, and I don't remember knowing about it then.
TPBM is going to try a new, fancy beverage this weekend.
