The person below me

[theCryptofishist]

You know I'd be dragged out for throwing tomatoes and making loud comments.
tpbm would join in that in an instant.

[Elorrum]

i n m y m i n d. I could see lobbing a tomato on my way out if nobody saw me. I'm a coward down to my socks.

tpbm loves a good protest rally.

[theCryptofishist]

I'm too angry to be any good at those.
tpbm wonders at the dignity of the african americans in the civil rights era, including, but in no way limited to Rosa Parks. (and many more.)

[southern crone]

Yes, and the sheer bravery.

TPBM believes the Anunnaki will walk amongst burners this year.

[gaminwench]

Every year.

TPBM will admit to unbridled playa phenomenon ...

[southern crone]

Admit, submit, whatever.

TPBM laughs when I say my food list for BM is potted meat, baby bell cheese in red rind, whole wheat crackers, powdered milk, pop tarts, nuts, chocolate and dill pickles.

[Savannah]

I only laugh at your powdered milk, because I cannot stand the stuff. Shelf-stable real milk (such as Horizon Farms) is available in little boxes on the juice aisle and sometimes in the natural section; like juice boxes only not. It's quite tasty after being in the cooler (optional).

The person below me prefers a paper atlas to navigating via smartphone on road trips.

[ygmir]

I do love a nice paper map........

TPBM has a secret hope for this years burn.

[theCryptofishist]

That the whole thing will fall apart without me.
tpbm has a great question to ask.

[Eric]

I do, but I didn't get his phone number so it will remain unasked.


tpbm has big Big plans for the 4th - that don't involve a dry lake bed.

[theCryptofishist]

No. Having a birthday between Pride and the 4th just exhausts me.
TPBM has big plans for April Fools that don't involve a damp lake bed.

[BeeWeeDee]

Nope. It seems everything I do now involves a dry/damp lake bed.

TPBM has untapped artistic talent that they haven't discovered yet.

[BoyScoutGirl]

I've been itching to learn soldering/LED work... and carpentry... and welding... and many other "manly crafts." Maybe I will have a knack for one of them - who knows?

TPBM is excited about the Black Rock Observatory coming this year.

[shroom]

I would be if I was going. I'll be super excited about everything next year.
TPBM likes watching home improvement shows.

[clocksnmirrors]

i used to... until i bought a house. then it just became depressing seeing other people do things i couldn't afford to do

tpbm hasn't completely lost faith in humanity

[ygmir]

indeed, I have not! the Hof party renews it, the Burn renews it..........people wanting to learn things, and jumping in, does, .....it's a wonderful game.

TPBM has a playa crush.

[gaminwench]

mmmm, yes.

TPBM sees no point in playa crushes ...

[fernley1]

No, no playa crushes for me.

TPBM has received their tickets already.

[BoyScoutGirl]

Nope, they'll be waiting at Will Call.

TPBM has a favorite karaoke song that's... unexpected.

[clocksnmirrors]

i did once croon to the soulful stylings of the theme song from THE LOVE BOAT


tpbm thinks exposed toenails are far more offensive than exposed genitals

[Eric]

That would depend on the individual toenails & genitals in question



tpbm has spilled a cocktail on their keyboard before

[shroom]

yes, i've spilled a lot of stuff on this thing.

TPBM has fourth of july plans

[gaminwench]

I'm in the parade.

TPBM is doing TTITD this weekend.

[Eric]

Nope, I'm doing That Thing in the Bar this weekend.


tpbm can listen to Dixieland in the park for the 4th

[Elorrum]

I would be able to if I could go. I have to work and then I might go to my next door neighbor's pool party (the neighbors I had when I was a teenager) but need to negotiate a steep grade of whether I could handle it. Might need to use my "burst into flames" rule, that allows me to leave a social situation if I do in fact burst into flames. Usually I have a great time before that can happen.

tpbm has to work on Friday.

[southern crone]

Yes, I do.

tpbm has never had a deviled egg on the 4th.

[fernley1]

Can't remember if I ever had.

TPBM is going to 4th of Juplaya this year.

[theCryptofishist]

No.
tpbm has made objects from vinyl records.

[clocksnmirrors]

not so much LPs as DVDs


tpbm avoids mechanically separated meat products

[Eric]

I avoid all meat products that involve the animal dying, so, yes.


tpbm plans on being at a fireworks show this weekend that has less than 100 people there
