Close! Instead, I observed while the boy tried on his new skivvies that he bought today. They are wonderful.

TPBM doesn't intend to wear any skivvies at the event.

You are correct - it seems like a lot of work when I can just click on the most recent post on the right hand of the screen under "new posts"

Well, my friend had a pet attack snail. Every time I walked by his desk, I was betting I could outrun it if it decided I was a threat. I'm still here with all my extremities intact, so I guess Lady Luck was on my side for my walk on the wild side.

TPBM has been tidepooling recently.

When he puts out his lamp, he sends the flower, or the star, to sleep.

Fuck, no alas. The closest I could come is those educational tide pools in aquaria and museums, where the docents hand you creatures, that have already been pawed at by filthy children who were just picking their noses.
tpbm just has to roll their eyes when I tell them that my spellcheck doesn't recognize the word "aquaria" because fuck, those things were not designed for people wiht large vocabularies and no spelling smarts.

Why yes, I do love Muppet movies! Well, actually I really loved the old Muppet Show. You can still watch it on YouTube.

I dunno. I never liked Grover, even as a kid he struck me as too much another hyper loud-mouth boy... Elmo is so after my time that I odn't have much feelings about him. Besides, I'd like to get back to the Muppet Show.
So, of the Muppet Show muppets, I felt most like Beaker, and my husband was the Swedish Chef. Did tpbm watch the old Muppet Show? And if so, what Muppet do they think closest represents their personality/existential dilemmas?

I think it was normalized to me by the totally weird relationships in Peanuts, specifically Lucy & Schroeder and Sally & Linus.
tpbm is still amazed by the fact that Charles Schultz was married (to a woman) because he didn't really seem to like girls.

Oh no he didn't! However, I used to have a Mazda Miata in smurf blue. It was the smurfiest car ever.
The band was Dr. Teeth and the Traveling Medicine Show. (If my own memory is working right).
TPBM is glad they safely avoided the whole Barney and Teletubby era!
