That is indeed a difficult call. I would say Bohemian Waxody because it rolls of the tongue more easily.

I'm freezing cold, so it would be a nice way to warm up.

TPBM, how many years do you think it will be until BM is exclusively populated by pairs of "soul mates" who (a) met, (b) fell in love, (c) got married or (d) conceived a child on they playa, and who are there to (a) get married, (b) renew their vows, (c) celebrate their anniversary, or (d) conceive a(nother) child?

BONUS: TPBM is surprised to discover that there is such a thing as a jaded n00b.

True, but its on my list right behind making it to my first burn(I will get a ticket, dammit. 12:24 timestamp be damned), finding a new job that pays a liveable wage, learning to grow my own food, fixing my car(yet again)...

TPBM knows how to change their own engine oil.

I think you said it perfectly Eric! :D

tpbm has daydreamed while driving on the freeway, then wondered how they drove as far as they did, not remembering how they got that far..

You're right. I think that's a terrible way to spend Monday nights. I hope that whatever crazy sorcery you're learning allows you to do something you love down the road.

No. Fucking. Way. I hate that jute string for one. My knotted art is knitting for another. The 70s give me the shivers, for arguments 3-10.
TPBM actually likes those bizarre wire and nails art pieces of the same era.

Only railway around here is cablecars, and there aren't any spikes in their tracks.

yeah, don't think i have. i'm a bit risk-averse, and every coming-of-age movie i saw as a kid seemed to have a cautionary scene in which people crossed a trestle-bridge with calamitous consequences.

TPBM has been flossing regularly. do you have a dentist appointment next week, or something?

No, I hate to floss as much as anyone else. But I should make a dental appointment. Eyesez, too.
TPBM is avoiding a medical appointment as well.

Nope. I went to the dentist a couple of weeks ago, and I'm going to the eye doctor on Friday. I've been very diligent with the checkups the last couple of years.

TPBM is doing something political for Mayday.

Yes. The leftover mushroom soup I made yesterday. I reheated it and had it for Second Breakfast at 10:30 because I couldn't wait for lunch :)

TPBM needs to buy some new kitchen utensils.

Is it bad that when I read the word "Prawns" I thought of this..

But the answer to both types is hells no.

Google helped me: District 9.
I would have thought some old 1950s schlock thing. Wasn't District 9 a big-budget Hollywood deal? I kind of remember thinking I wanted to see it at one point...

TPBM will tell me about a great BM theme camp/bar/art installation with the number 9 in its name.
