I was the third-string morning waiter at a dude-ranch when I was 16, so yes.

Nooooo. I don't trust horses they have huge teeth and are tall enough to bite my head or kick my head if I am behind them. Either way it's a no win situation

No, my dad served in the Korean war, my uncles in Vietnam and my sister and younger brother were Marines. My brother flew Harriers and was with a tank battalion calling in air strikes in Kuwait/ Iraq confrontation. He was later a flight instructor. Now flies for Delta.

TPBM wanted to be a pilot when growing up.

tpbm wishes that individuals could tailor their eplaya experience such that they could group all the boring threads together into one personalized sub-forum and mark them all read without reading them.

I'd just like to go up in the air during the event. I just can't get various shit together: plane (fueled and able), pilot (sober and rested and not about to do twelve other things, me (see previous).

TPBM is making stuff for xmoose right now.

No, as I am at a car show and currently listening to a live band, which is so loud I can't hear myself think.

Ew no thanks. Although I do have a family friend who does the "little for the spaghetti sauce, little more me" thing most folks do with wine with ground beef apparently. Of course we'd call it beef mince.

TPBM has been finding it harder to have faith in humanity recently.

I work in one of the most iconic performance venues in the world. It's made of asbestos and smells funny.

TPBM has a job the people assume is a lot more glamorous than it is.

Flying. It is awesome to be a Pilot, but most of the time on a long XC flight, it can be pretty fn unglamorous, boring atop clouds, no bathroom, cold as hell, etc.

TPBM enjoys those weird days when the sun is shining but it is also raining/snowing at the same time.
