The person below me

[Eric]

Nope. I have some friends graduating, but they're too nice to expect me to sit in the sun for hours to watch them get a piece of paper.


tpbm is paying the price for a good time last night

[catinthefunnyhat]

I don't feel it yet, but I stayed up all night playing Internet, and then I slept for about 4 hours before it was time to get up. So, yeah, capitulation to fatigue is probably imminent, but I have too much to do...

TPBM likes mixing inks and dyes.

[theCryptofishist]

That creates mustard gas!
TPBM is busy inventing ketchup gas.

[Drucifer303]

i hadn't planned on it, but now you have me intrigued.


TPBM had one of those 'dangerous' chemistry sets as a kid

[catinthefunnyhat]

I wanted one SO BAD. I asked for it for Christmas every year. That, or a train set, or one of those stupid oversized Barbie heads you put makeup on. Never got any of 'em. My parents were right about the Barbie head (and probably about the train set), but wrong about the chemistry set, I'm convinced.

TPBM knows the smart kids made their own chemistry sets out of household toxins anyways.

[theCryptofishist]

Maybe chemistry smart kids. Math smart kids are a little scarier, but in the abstract...
TPBM made his/her own mud kit as a kid.

[Straightveg]

Don't know what that is, but I did make a mini Van de Graaff generator over the summer in high school.
TPBM is now wondering if the vinegar content of ketchup means it can be used to neutralize playa dust.

[theCryptofishist]

I just hope playa can be used to neutralize ketchup.
TPBM had a favorite "boy band" when growing up.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Does Duran Duran count as a "boy band"? What about Def Leppard? I think my age group kind of missed out. The kids a couple of years younger than me swooned over Menudo. Back Street and NSYNC came later still.

TPBM will be as surprised as I was to find out that the Bay City Rollers were from Scotland.

[TomServo]

I knew they were from Scotland...but I too was surprised to find that out. They looked too happy.

TPBM loves Siouxsie and the Banshees...and is surprised to learn that their first drummer was Sid Vicious

[maryanimal]

I like them and I didn't know Sid was their first drummer.

tpbm finds it funny that one size does not fit all!

[catinthefunnyhat]

Not funny, exactly. Kind of insulting to those it doesn't fit (and at various points in my life, that group has included me). But I get that "one size fits most," while truer, doesn't have a great ring to it.

TPBM has been "champed' at a party and still has the ink-stained skin to prove it.

[maryanimal]

Champed?? never heard of it.

tbpm has never tried Eggs benedict.

[C187]

You are right, I have not. But I love the song Benedict Arnold by frYars.

TPBM has yet heard this weeks episode of Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!.

[Box Burner]

Well I'm not gonna hold my breath!

TPBM likes movies but does not watch TV.

[theCryptofishist]

Naw, no movies either.
TPBM reads novels, but not history.

[Sail Man]

Oh God, Yes! I just cant get into reading many books about history, though I did enjoy a summers worth of reading about WW2 in the pacific theater, which is how I ended up putting in for and getting a year and a half deployment to Okinawa.



tpbm always prefers the movie version over the book version.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Only if the movie came first.

TPBM prefers short stories to novels.

[BoyScoutGirl]

Sometimes. For example, I prefer Haruki Murakami's short stories to his novels.

TPBM wants to chose his/her own adventure.

[Eric]

I generally do, no "want" involved.


tpbm thinks french toast is a perfectly acceptable lunch option

[theCryptofishist]

Secretly, I prefer waffles.
TPBM says "flapjacks".

[catinthefunnyhat]

No. That always sounds like an affectation to me.

TPBM doesn't like them, no matter how you call them.

[Elorrum]

I do like them, and I call them pancakes.

Tpbm has happily attended the pancake breakfast at the Black Rock City airport.

[maryanimal]

I didn't know they had one! Sounds good!

tpbm likes variations of pancakes.

[SquirrelHead]

I have not had to honor but I would happily attend

tpbm thinks of Groundhog Day when they hear flapjacks....

[youtube][/youtube]

[TomServo]

No, but I do think of that hat the middle guy's wearing.

TPBM prefers splinters over paper cuts

[catinthefunnyhat]

The nice thing about a splinter is you get to perform minor surgery on yourself and feel all self-reliant and brave and shit. A papercut just stings and makes you feel foolish.

TPBM plays a version of Rock, Paper, Scissors that has more than just those three things in it.

[Box Burner]

rock, paper, scissors, Beer - yup

TPBM prefers strategy games over shooters or arcade games.

[knowmad]

Not to sure. Does playing spin the bottle in drag count as an adventure game ?
PBM, showerfluffer. Yea or Ney?

[lazerfox]

I'll skip googling that as I'm a work...so I'll get back to you on that one

TPBM shouldn't be doing what they are doing but it is just too damn tempting
