The person below me

[theCryptofishist]

No. I'm getting myself off "processed meats".
tpbm thinks that's okay--I'm not going to the event anymore.

[shroom]

whatever works for you!
TPBM eats a super healthy diet

[southern crone]

Nope. Too many family get togethers, ...fried chicken, potato salad, fried okra, butter beans, corn, peas, tomatoes, brownies and blueberry glazed cake.

TPBM thinks people from the south can and will fry anything edible.

[Eric]

I was born in the South - I know they will.


tpbm loves white corn grits.

[southern crone]

Yes, with plenty of butter and crumbled bacon, spooned onto toast.

TPBM wonders why southerners measure distance in time. Oh, it's about a two hour drive.

[Jovankat]

Yeah we're I'm from people do that, it makes more sense and gives you a clearer idea I think. Where I'm from in Australia has some similarities to the south. Except it's north...

TPBM enjoys bagels regularly

[Eric]

Not as much as I want - only one place in SF makes them the way I like them (boiled, then baked - you know, a bagel, not round bread), and it takes 45 minutes via bus ride & walk each way.


tpbm also has a food they'll only get from one place

[Jovankat]

Cream buns! The cream in cream buns from Walker's Bakery in Townsville, in North Queensland where I grew up is unlike any other cream EVER. My mum sometimes posts them to my on my birthday

TPBM has a pet they're getting someone to look after while they're at TTITD

[jneilvindy]

I have 3 cats I'm going to be worried sick about while I'm gone!

I mean like, irrational, turn the RV around and go home worried. I'm terrified it's going to put a tarnish on my burn if I let it get to me

crazy for sure I know. My best friend 2 blocks away is gonna check on the house and practically move in but still he's not a cat person and my kitties are all old, set in their ways kitties that don't take to other people very well.

/blech

TPBM Is just waking up!

[theCryptofishist]

Nope. But I am already worried about getting back home.
TPBM wants to point out to Jovenkat that just like the American south, the Austrailian north is closer to the equator than the rest of the country.

[Eric]

Nah, she seems smart enough to have figured that out



tpbm has been to the other side of the earth from their home - and not for Burning Man

[fernley1]

Yes I have. Deployed to the other side of the earth during both Gulf wars.

TPBM likes to travel overseas.

[AntiM]

Indeed. And my other side of the earth was Diego Garcia. One of them.

TPBM never set foot outside the state they were born in until they were over 18.

[theCryptofishist]

Ha! We moved when I was three (Austin to Berkeley) and I visited my grandmother in Austria when I was 6 or 3 or something and we spent a year in Cambridge (stock piling King's College Rowing Club Scarfs) when I was eight and nine. And there was a trip to Buffalo, too, in there.
tpbm shamelessly name drops in the default world.

[shroom]

lol not really
TPBM plays video games

[theCryptofishist]

No. Not really.
tpbm is playing a long, eleborate round of "Sleeper Troll" on eplaya.

[jella]

I am ??
Tpbm. Is camping out by the mailbox.

[theCryptofishist]

Nope.
tpbm is planning a surprise for the meet'n'greet.

[gaminwench]

I'm planning to stay cognizant!

TPBM has packed ALL THE THINGS and is ready to roll ...

[shroom]

nope but i will in a year
TPBM is easily amused

[theCryptofishist]

I guess...
tpbm just eats from cold cans during the event.

[Omitimo]

Birgin, but NO way.
tpbm, picks it and flicks it.

[theCryptofishist]

I'm pretty certain that that's forbidden.
the person below me has done unmentionable things with a garden hose.

[southern crone]

I have worked for a veterinarian...enough said.

TPBM has never ironed clothes before.

[Eric]

As if. I'm the kind of person who even dry cleans my evening clothes I take to the Burn.



tpbm also dry-cleans playa clothes before taking them to the playa

[theCryptofishist]

I don't dry clean and I don't go to the burn...
tpbm is a born-again burner...

[shroom]

I'm not sure.....maybe I will be next year?
TPBM still watches soap operas.

[clocksnmirrors]

hah the only soap opera i watch is life. but i did love general hospital in its heyday


tpbm has the squirts

[theCryptofishist]

No. Thank goodness.
tpbm occasionally wonders about the soft drink called "Squirt" and if the name puts people off buying it.

[shroom]

no but i wouldn't buy it
TPBM loves to grill food
