The person below me

[catinthefunnyhat]

I wish. No, it's shoulder-length and wavy but also... thin and fine and kinda limp at the top, while frizzy at the ends... and badly in need of being cut. It's less "mad scientist" and more "depressed grad student." Sigh...

TPBM prefers to keep his or her head shaved.

[theCryptofishist]

No. The phrenologists are after me.
TPBM is more interested in the bumps in our livers.

[Elorrum]

regretful perhaps. I just came here to see what a fad hammer is.

tpbm knows better than to give a dog a haircut.

[C187]

But not better enough to dye a cat.

TPBM has and a "damn globalization" moment sometime this year from attempting to work with someone in a time zone 12 or so hours apart.

[Deb Prothero]

Elorrum; great minds think alike. Maybe soon we'll know what a fad hammer is.

Dogs don't need haircuts, do they? my lovely mutt is a husky cross so she's shedding her own undercoat. I'm sure there's a use for all this hair.

Damn Globalization requires us all to be available to work 24 hours a day.

TPBM knows what to do with husky hair.

[BoyScoutGirl]

I prefer to call it "big-boned."

TPBM has never had a favorite color.

[theCryptofishist]

Only if you mean that I have been chronically unable to choose just one...
TPBM has a favorite skirt.

[maryanimal]

Yes I do. It's black with small pinstripes.
Tpbm had a change of heart today.

[theCryptofishist]

Yeah, there was a post that I didn't make...
The person below me loves 1920s music.

[Simon of the Playa]

i collect 78's because i can smell the history on them.


tpbm likes bakelite better.

[theCryptofishist]

Better than what?
TPBM knows what side his bread is buttered on.

[catinthefunnyhat]

It's usually I who buttered it, so in that case, yeah. Otherwise, I figure it out by dropping it onto the floor.

TPBM knows which side his/her butter is toasted on.

[theCryptofishist]

I tried to figure it and had a toaster fire...
TPBM likes a little charcoal on her/his toast. Good for the digestion.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Not my preference. I do like my toast to be toasted, but charcoal is beyond that.
(Growing up, though, my parents always burned the toast. I'd assiduously scrape it off, and they'd shake their heads, saying "it's not toast if there's no black on it!" But, no, that's not my style.)

TPBM knows how to weaponize office supplies.

[theCryptofishist]

Only when I had the antrax job.
TPBM recently found a building of personal significance being torn down on Google Street View...

[catinthefunnyhat]

No, but it would be heartbreaking and fascinating to find that!

TPBM has a beloved garment with (a) sailboat(s) printed on it.

[theCryptofishist]

No, but I seem to have a collection of buttons with anchors on them.
TPBM had a cool sail bot (toy) that s/he sailed on a local pond as a kid.

[catinthefunnyhat]

I seem to remember my dad making paper ones for me a couple of times. But mostly we were all about throwing sticks off the upstream side of the bridge and seeing which would make it to the downstream side first (I believe this came is called Pooh Sticks).

TPBM enjoys watching all sorts of races.

[maryanimal]

Yes I do. Car racing, horse racing, foot races, the presidential race, the rat race...

tpbm loves to dance like no one is watching.

[OregonRed]

I do indeed!!!

TPBM is not a dancer.

[Eric]

I am not a dancer. It does not happen, unless I am in blackout (and even then it's highly unlikely)


tpbm wishes SF didn't almost always make aliens with bilateral symmetry.

[Savannah]

I was watching television Saturday night and Star Trek: Insurrection came on, and before I persuaded my host to change the channel, I found myself briefly vexed by the predictable humanoid aliens. Can't we ever just have some sentient gel blobs that shriek and shoot fire? Thank you.

The person below me has a favorite special occasion dinner (or list of courses) that they like to cook.

[OregonRed]

I like to cook in general. Special occasions are just an excuse!

TPBM prefers to eat out.

[gaminwench]

Yes. I only cook seven things.

TPBM has more shoes than tools...

[Box Burner]

At the moment they stand about even. But I used to have more tools than all the shoes I have ever had put together.

for TPBM a trip to the toy store means Home Despot, Lowes or Harbor Freight.

[Box Burner]

Well it posted double.

[catinthefunnyhat]

I love me some Home Hardware, but I'm more enthralled with the materials than the tools. Still, the day I brought home a mitre box and a hand saw a couple of years ago, I giggled like a kid on Christmas the whole way home.

TPBM has a strange morning ritual.

[OregonRed]

Yep. I wake up in the morning with out ANY caffeine at all! No coffee, tea, cola, or energy drink in my morning routine.

TPBM doesn't believe me.

[theCryptofishist]

I'm still a little agog that catinthefunnyhat's game "came to be called poohsticks." That happened before any of us were born!
TPBM calls 52 Pick-Up, "You're Nothing but a Bunch of Cards" from Alice.

[catinthefunnyhat]

I'm still a little agog that catinthefunnyhat's game "came to be called poohsticks."

OOPS... Permanent Fatal Typographical Error!

(I believe this came is called Pooh Sticks).

Where I typed came there, I meant to type game. I know where Pooh Sticks comes from. I just couldn't remember for sure if the game we played was it.

TPBM calls 52 Pick-Up, "You're Nothing but a Bunch of Cards" from Alice.

No, but I like that. We called it janitor. As in, "Hey, you wanna learn a cool game? It's called janitor. OK, you get to be the janitor for the first hand..." I've never won that game (gullible and a terrible liar).

TPBM used to write messages in invisible ink.
