The person below me

[Drucifer303]

well obviously, stickers and stripes add at least 50hp right?

TPBM is a gear head

[SquirrelHead]

I wish I was a gear head. I do the basic work on my cars and bikes but I don't have enough knowledge to be a gear head.

tpbm has is excited for this weekend

[gaminwench]

oh yes, I'm spending it with a gear head!

TPBM really likes office supply stores...

[catinthefunnyhat]

Yes, I love office supply stores. All that beautiful paper.... and boxes of pencils... I also love hardware stores.

TPBM prefers bookstores, where the paper already has words on it.

[maryanimal]

Yes I do! Powell's in Portland is an olfactory orgasm for me. I love the smell of books, old and new!

tpbm reads their books on and Ipad, or a kindle.

[catinthefunnyhat]

No, I don't own any of those things. I still read books on paper. But I don't read as many books as I used to, and certainly not as much as I should. I mostly seem to read newspaper and magazine articles, and blogs. I think my attention span ain't what it used to be.

TPBM has taken a speed-reading course. Did you find it useful?

[OregonRed]

I have never taken a speed reading course. But I read really fast in the first place so, it never seemed necessary.

TPBM believes print is dead.

[Elorrum]

oh no. but becoming "niche" perhaps.

tpbm knows the smell of fresh mimeograph, and used to turn the handle as a teacher's helper.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Oooh, I never got to turn the handle, but I do remember the machine. Not sure about the smell, either, but I remember the carbon paper. Getting one's hands on a piece of that was like finding treasure!

TPBM had a chemistry set as a child.

[knowmad]

I still have the bunsun burner and a beaker. Somtimes I make tea with them.

TPBM has a rock collection.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Well, I do have a tendency to pick up pretty rocks and bring them home for a while... but eventually I take them back out and set them free again.

TPBM has something precious in his/her pockets(es).

[Patsh]

I was given a pocket Buddha about 2 years ago in Arizona, and it has been to Quebec and to Burning Man...
(so far)... and goes with me everywhere.

TPBM has something completely different in their pocket!!

[SquirrelHead]

Only if I stretch the pocket over a bit. Then it's time for pool!

tpbm doesn't want to go to work in the morning.

[theCryptofishist]

Yet I will.
TPBM is planning something big for May Day.

[knowmad]

Surf european riot videos like I do each year.

TPBM will you suggest a bed time story?

[theCryptofishist]

I could, but it might involve Stalin, so you'd be huddling in your bed all night, waiting for the tramp, tramp, tramp of the Cheka's boots.
TPBM only reads sea stories anyway.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Well, I was going to suggest The Owl and the Pussycat, by Edward Lear, before you beat me to it, and that's kind of a sea story.
But generally, no, I don't think I have an overweening preference for those.

TPBM has really good night vision.

[theCryptofishist]

No, but I have looked into the dark in my past.
TPBM has a sunny disposition.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Mostly, I hope. But I do occasionally flirt with despair. And I can be a surly bitch for no good reason, sometimes, too.

TPBM is a card-carrying....

[knowmad]

I am a chanupa carier. But they don't give us a card or anything.

TPBM can ____ with thier _____ ____.

[Trishntek]

spark appendage enhancement

TPBM just shook their head a wee bit

[catinthefunnyhat]

No, but I smiled at the "you-ness" of that reply.

TPBM is learning a new song.

[OregonRed]

I am always learning a new song. I love to make music!

TPBM does not dance in public.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Oh, but I do! What I don't do is sing in public. That would upset people and probably trigger an armed response.

TPBM has a favourite insect.

[OregonRed]

Dragonflies & Butterflies. Because they're beautiful.

TPBM has a favorite reptile.

[catinthefunnyhat]

I have a great love for snakes. Especially the eastern ribbon snakes, with their gorgeous yellow racing stripes. They're shy and beautiful. I rarely get to see a snake in the wild, and when I do, I feel like it's a lucky omen. I guess because it takes some luck just to have seen it in the first place

In Brazil, there's this pale pinkish gecko thing they call a lagarticha. When I was there, lagarticha became my nickname, because I am as fucking pale as one. One day I walked into my bedroom and there was one on the wall. Despite never having seen one before, I recognized it instantly, because it was exactly the same colour as me. Fucking creepy. While it's definitely not my favourite reptile, I do have this weird connection with it now.



TPBM has a tan (natural or otherwise).

[theCryptofishist]

I suppose. The outside of my arms is browner than the inside.
TPBM thinks I'm actually talking about sausage.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Mmmm.... sausage....

This guy has many sausagey appendages, including arms.



TPBM is surprised to see this guy wearing the exact same outfit as s/he had planned to wear on the playa this year.

[theCryptofishist]

Only for Critical Dicks.
TPBM thinks that sausages taste better if they smoked in life.

[Dr Helix]

Depends. Filtered or non filtered?

TPBM wants to play this weekend, but responsibility says otherwise
