Absolutely. They'll look like shit, but I can do it.

I'm an introvert. I can be Zen anywhere.

TPBM feels like their head is going to explode if they don't get to the Playa soon.

Yes. It's actually affecting my sleep. My gf and I have a new rule, no burn talk after 8pm.

TPBM has already made something "artsy" for the festival this year.
Can you at least admit that nuclear explosions are awesome!?

I just check new posts and watched topics mostly. Then during then burn it feels really lonely around here.

TPBM thinks we will see spammers during burn time, as usual.

I deliberately have a dumb phone. So, I suppose the answer is yes, in a theoretical way.

Housemate did that last night. It's more complicated for me to do it, and rolling those cans? Oi!

I do get cranky when spellcheck doesn't know a perfectly genuine word, won't allow British spellings, claims that amaaaaaaazeballs is irresponsible (it's the responsible-EST word I know!) or prudishly deplores my cursing.

. . . How often does the average American use the word "ducking", anyway?

Yeah, if they're swimming with me, I guess I would.
tpbm thinks, well, at least they can't chomp her legos legs off.
Or maybe tpbm thinks I do some prety entertaining typos.

Typos? I guess I just assume that if you typed it, it must be correct (although sometimes strange).

TPBM is experiencing a tranquil clam calm after realizing with just 2 weeks remaining it just isn’t worth panicking & they will just show up with whatever they get done.

I kind of have to be, I'm a rental driver. My top speed is 30 minutes though (last year!) so . . . I'm hopeful for another Mission Impossible style load-in.

The person below me will take all day to load in, based on past behavior, and what's it to ya? :lol:

I'm driving the camp box truck; I suspect it will, in fact, take all day to load.

Not really. I would just assume you were a touch typist and wonder why that amount of limited activity (typing) would cause your glasses to fog up.
