The person below me

[Eric]

I don't know if it's technically a phobia, but I find popcorn utterly revolting - especially the stuff with artificial butter. The smell of it has actually made me vomit in the past, and just typing this is making me queasy (and I'm not joking). The only place I don't seem to have trouble with the smell is in a movie theater - anywhere else and you'll see me move quickly away.



tpbm is repulsed by an even more common food.

[mgb327]

Brussels sprouts....there, ya made me puke, you happy now?


TPBM has no idea what is in the very bottom of their freezer......

[BeeWeeDee]

yes. A cousin to the dust bunny - ice bunnies.

TPBM is an adventurous eater. Trying something new rather than denying it immediately.

[theCryptofishist]

I am an odd combination, fussy and (somewhat) novelty seeking. I think I've hit the trifecta on the cilantro/soap thing, the beer/soap thing, and the bitter cruciferous thing, which does have me tip toeing around a lot of things. But I get bored easily. And it's sort of a balancing act for me. I only just, in my late forties, began to really like cheese. Heck, at least I'm still growing. Like a cancer?

The person below me just had someone leave (resign, retire, fired, etc.) their place of work.

[shroom]

no, but hopefully I'll be leaving for a new job soon.

TPBM has great job finding advice

[theCryptofishist]

In no way, shape or form is that true.
tpbm has run with the bulls in Pamploma.

[mgb327]

No, but I have run with the cows in Sarasota.

TPBM has cuddled a moray.

[lucky420]

I have! Oh wait I thought that said moron. Never mind

Tpbm has considered going vegan except for the fact that nest just tastes so damn good

[mgb327]

Yeah, I loves me some *nest*.

TPBM can spell complicated woids.

[ZigZag]

I'm already vegan but the lure of bacon on the playa may test my limits!

TPBM has wings and knows how to fly.

[lucky420]

hahaha sleepiness and fast fingers for the win...fuck you siri, I'll spell what i want!

and now back to your regularly scheduled thread

[lucky420]

TPBM has wings and knows how to fly.

if putting your coat on up above your head and jumping off the roof counts, yes I can fly

tpbm is out of gas

tpbm is out of gas

More like out of steam. I need a weekend full of nothing.

Speaking of gas....just be glad you weren't near me yesterday. Whew! (TMI?)

Anywho........TPBM is working on PorkVinci (theme inspired bacon projects).

[Eric]

Nope - I'm vegetarian & Jewish, bacon is a double "no" from me.



tpbm thinks the whole "bacon" meme jumped the shark

[Patsh]

Nope - I'm vegetarian & Jewish, bacon is a double "no" from me.



tpbm thinks the whole "bacon" meme jumped the shark

Hell, I'm not even tempted by bacon-infused chocolate chip cookies, so popular on the Playa these years. (And, I LOVE chocolate chip cookies!)
There's nothing you could do to make me put that in my mouth.

TPBM won't even consider going to a vegetarian restaurant.

[gaminwench]

I am reluctant.
I'm from Texas. Meat makes a meal.

TPBM is an early morning person, a lark.

[Elorrum]

I wake quickly, and do my best work in the morning. I find that living alone keeps me from knowing some of these "truths" about myself, since being around other people always adds another element and wham, well, I guess I didn't know that one after all. I am a solo early morning person, I guess.

tpbm has learned to do breakfast, and now finds it essential.

[AntiM]

I've always needed a bit of breakfast. My go to is now an egg and a slice of whole grain toast, with fruit or juice a couple hours later.

TPBM is awash in prepping and packing lists.

[BeeWeeDee]

Yep. Had a near dust experience yesterday when I cleaned up the tool box I take to TTITD. Got the art gallery together but still working on the ticket thing.

TPBM can hulahoop

[Thecatman]

Tried many a time when I younger. My older sister WAS good at it. Don't know if she still is anymore.



TPBM has had pierogis in the last week or so. Store bought or homemade

[MFOB]

Nope, But Argentinian Empanadas. Pretty close to pierogis.

TPBM had an awesome set of lights on their bike, but they broke and didn't work the first day at BM?

[Blue_Bike]

Close. The bike and lights vanished in the dust on my first day. But now I have another and more lights. Even thinking of rigging a long boom or fishing pole off the bike with a mirror ball hanging from it. At night it will be a little pedal powered rolling mini disco. Yes, of course it will be a 21 and up thing as I will be serving drinks.

The person below me dresses for success on the playa.

[gaminwench]

If 'dressing for success' means 'having all that you need to be comfortably fabulous', then yes.

TPBM thinks we need more playa (p)fluffers.

[fernley1]

Yes, the world need more fluffers!

TPBM has been or is a playa fluffer.

[FIGJAM]

Not really, but TPBM thinks that just maybe..................Ygmir has a Lagarfljot!!!

[lucky420]

He does and I've swam in it!

Tpbm really should get off the couch and get working on all the things for TTITD

[shroom]

I should...but I have until 2017
TPBM is running around frantically packing

[Eric]

Not even close. I'll start picking up booze this week, probably, and maybe some Trader Joes food. I don't get frantic until the week we leave.


TPBM gets frantic about 2 months before they head to the playa

[Jovankat]

I've been frantic on and off for about 2 weeks now. It comes in waves.

TPBM loves the adrenaline rush of frantically packing at the last minute.

[Savannah]

On a conscious level I don't . . . but on an unconscious level I might, because that's how my clothes get packed every time! (The other stuff I'm much better about).

The person below me is trying out new equipment this year and will tell me about it.



Eric, the smell of microwave popcorn does the same thing to me! . . . It smells like bile. I think it's the diacetyl (the substance that gives popcorn manufacturing workers "popcorn lung").
