The person below me

[catinthefunnyhat]

Well, the prodigal keys have returned with no obvious scarring from their flagrante delicto with your Soviet badges. Hope the badges have found their way home to you in like condition.

TPBM is wearing polka dots.

[Eric]

Plaid. My polka dot pants are a little thin for my freezing apartment (even on a sunny day it's cold in here- thanks Victorians )



tpbm wishes pills would do what they're supposed to.

[Simon of the Playa]

actually i like a bit of a mystery..."ground score unknown" being my favorite.

tpbm thinks i'm lying.

[knowmad]

No, I've ridden that buggy and it's a fun ride (sometimes)

TPBM will now tell us five synonyms for heaven.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Off the top of my head... Shangri-la, Nirvana, Paradise, Valhalla, Burning Man!

TPBM has been on a wild-goose chase recently.

[SquirrelHead]

My whole life seems to be a wild goose chase. At least it is an exciting chase.

tpbm knows they are supposed to be doing something but are not sure exactly what it is.

[knowmad]

not really. I have however noticed that no one has been chacing windmills round here.

PBM The first three words that come to mind!

[OregonRed]

"Takes no skill". But that's the belly dancer speaking.

TPBM might finish that bottle of ____ tonight.

[Eric]

800mg Ibuprofen. Day 5 of a migraine*, kill me now.


tpbm is ready for nap time





*technically "chronic daily headache" or "cluster headache", but those words just confuse people

[Trishntek]

zzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZ huh? wha?

TPBM takes a regular nap each day

[maryanimal]

Only on my days off!

tpbm exercizes his/her right to jolly wherever and whenever they want.

[theCryptofishist]

Nah, I'm a bit timid.
(I guess it's good thing I didn't call Eric and ask if he wanted to go out to dinner.)
TPBM know why after hitting the "mark all post read" the default is to return you to the same sub-forum...
('cause it makes no sense to me.)

[catinthefunnyhat]

No idea. I haven't actually used that option. But I notice that the forum exercises a bit of caprice in choosing what to mark as "new" or "read," etc.

TPBM has a hard time exercising patience when playing Scrabble against poor spellers.

[theCryptofishist]

I am a poor speller. And i don't play scrabble. Of course, my family had a competitive streak that came out in games, and I was the second youngest, so when it came to the games needing a lot of skill that's acquired as you grow up it was very frustrating.
TPBM can tell the difference between Naftule's Dream and Shostakovitch's Hoc (Nose).

[catinthefunnyhat]

Oh, totally. It's as plain as the nose on Shostakovich's face, or something.

TPBM likes to embarrass others at the laundromat by folding his/her unmentionables in a very flamboyant manner.

[maryanimal]

I haven't used a launderette in eons!! But i still like to fold my unmetionables in a flamboyant way! Wishful thinking I guess...*sighs*

tpbm...boxers or briefs?

[theCryptofishist]

Um, I know I'm a soft butch, but actually, plain (but not white--too boring) cotton panties.
TPBM thinks every real burner says: Commando!

[knowmad]

I think tools say comando.
It's freeballin!

pbm tell your fav. Quote.

[Eric]

"That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow. That is the whole Torah; the rest is the explanation; go and learn."- Rabbi Hillel (also translated as "Do not unto others as you would not have them do to you")


tpbm is ready for bed.

[Simon of the Playa]

just about....one more thing to assimilate.

tpbm often confuses the BMorg with the Borg kinda like obama being a muslim...

[catinthefunnyhat]

Well, the terms BMOrg and Borg are used kinda interchangeably in some parts of these forums. Is that a Freudian slip on people's part, or a subtle act of agitprop? OR.... maybe they're being held captive by the actual Borg, and it's an encoded cry for help? Life is full of terrifying possibilities.

TPBM is close to someone who is a true conspiracy-theory believer, and s/he never quite knows how to respond.

[OregonRed]

We aren't close anymore. His refusal to get help for his schizophrenia makes him genuinely painful for me to be around. He breaks my heart with his conspiracy theories.

TPBM has just realized that they're behaving like a grown-up.

[Trishntek]

If that means not embarrassing those around me in a random fashion, no,,, I cannot,,, I will not be a part of your muturity-class warfare

TPBM thinks middle age is overated

[Dr Helix]

Completely agree. I really have no feeling as to when one age stops and another starts. It all feels the same to me.

TPBM would like to sit and chat with the Dalai Lama.

[theCryptofishist]

Not really. Either he's very much more advanced than I am, which will end up with my feeling like a fool, or he isn't, in which case, why bother?
TPBM loves South American history.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Sadly, the history I took was extremely Euro-centric up until about 1900 and Canadian/American-centric thereafter. I know little to nothing of South American history... there are some familiar names, but that's about it.

TPBM doesn't bother with fiction these days, because the truth is so much stranger.

[wh..sh]

I still bother myself with fiction, especially when I think I need to maintain sanity.

TPBM has a favorite fictional character and thinks the character resonates who they are.

[knowmad]

I did, but then discovered authors who's charatures are mutch more intresting; Bourghs, Karouac, H.S. Thompson, Kesey.

TPBM forgot somthing important today.

[catinthefunnyhat]

If I did, it's still forgotten. The only thing I'm remembering at the moment is that I have a dentist appointment at 4.

TPBM's clocks are out of synch, but s/he doesn't know which is right and which is wrong.

[theCryptofishist]

I don't know that I ever really thought clocks were "right". I remember having a discussion with someone about a clock that syncs up to the atomic clock every day, years ago. I thought "why bother", the amount of inaccuracy is so small that it doesn't matter, I'm not a scientist, it doesn't matter.
tpbm builds dog toys.
