The person below me

[theCryptofishist]

Off chasing odd socks.
TPBM prefers to sleep without pillows.

[Foxfur]

Non-human ones anyway...

TPBM has licked a toad or kissed a frog.

[theCryptofishist]

No. I'm just not that into amphibians.
tpbm knows how to spell "amphibians" without spellcheck.

[Elorrum]

yeah, kind of. or I just resort to "the frog family, you know, like all the things that are like frogs, scientifically."
tpbm doesn't like Sunday much, specifically the way it ends the weekend. I get used to staying up late for two nights, sleeping late for two mornings. wait... this is supposed to be about tpbm. not tpwim. sorry.

[catinthefunnyhat]

sunday is like autumn... kind of lovely if it existed in a vacuum, but ruined by this sense of dread for what comes next (winter, monday).
tpbm loves winter and finds my comment offensive.

[Eric]

Hate snow, but I love the cool of perpetual autumn (I do live in SF, after all). Not a fan of summer.

tpbm lives a life filled with wonder

[Elorrum]

most times I see it as half empty with wonder. glad for that amount though.

is looking at the week from the bottom of a long hill.

[Foxfur]

Actually, I live at the top of the hill that Espressodude will be driving up shortly. We's goin' shootin' today.
I LOVE MONDAYS!

TPBM has put out a contract on a certain mass marketed children's toy.

[theCryptofishist]

Those Hungry, Hungry Hippos are eating us out of house and home.
TPBM has it in for Operation.

[catinthefunnyhat]

True; I've always hated that game.
It was Cat, with the funny hat, in the conservatory.

TPBM prefers to do it in the billiards room and use the rope.

[wh..sh]

TPBM prefers to do it in the billiards room and use the rope.

hmm... sure. Seems like a challenge I could effectively apply myself.

TPBM is giggling at the thought of billiards room and ropes.

[catinthefunnyhat]

I'm very much in touch with my inner 14-year-old boy.

The rope was chosen for the obvious reason. The billiards room was somewhat random -- it could have been any of the rooms, frankly -- but billiards involves balls, shafts, holes, and a good grip*, so in retrospect, that probably was the right place.

*Also, according to Wikipedia, a pink spot, a brown spotand cannons, oh my!

TPBM actually knows how to play English Billiards.

[Foxfur]

Hmm, playing with British gentleman's balls...

TPBM doesn't find that very funny.

[catinthefunnyhat]

I snookered. Uh, snickered.

TPBM is going to save this thread from itself by posting something classy.

[theCryptofishist]

FAt chance.
TPBM had indian take out for dinner tonight...

[catinthefunnyhat]

Nope, that was a few nights ago. Pasta (which I overcooked, because I was distracted by something shiny) and sauce from a jar tonight. With ice cream and maple syrup for dessert. And, uh, pickles with both courses. Not pregnant, just having a bachelor night.

TPBM likes to eat ice cream with something unusual.

[maryanimal]

I like to eat pickles with ice cream but not mixed up.

tpbm would love to spend two weeks in the space station.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Yeah! That would be all kinds of amazing.
TPBM has something in his/her home that has been in space.

[theCryptofishist]

Well, it is thought that we got water from comets crashing into the earth. And it's in the plumbing! Not to mention I'm sure I saw some comet dust in here the other day.
TPBM has something from the bottom of the sea in his/her home.

[SquirrelHead]

Actually all of my bottom of the sea things have disappeared over the years. Strange.

tpbm wonders where all the drive has gone.

[theCryptofishist]

Those damn golfers took it.
TPBM plonked someone tonight.

[catinthefunnyhat]

And it's in the plumbing!

*Puts on her tinfoil hat shower cap.*

TPBM has something from the bottom of the sea in his/her home.

I have some limestone blocks from when Manitoba and parts of Ontario were under Lake Agassiz. But I guess that wasn't the sea, or even a sea...

I actually just did a metal inventory of my stuff, and I don't think I have a single object from the bottom of the actual sea. That's odd, because I grew up on the coast, and both my parents lived have their whole lives on coasts. You'd think I'd have saved at least one seashell.

Oh! There's fish sauce in the fridge. And Worcestershire (which contains Anchovies). So, maybe a drop or two of one of those is made of something that once touched bottom. Uh, I'm really reaching here.

EDIT: Too damned slow!
And no, I've still never plonked anyone. I may have developed a new ePlaya crush today. But that happens periodically.



TPBM has a treasured conch or cowrie shell that s/he sometimes still holds to his or her ear to hear the "surf."

[Oldguy]

Nope, never. Sticks and stones and all that. Damn, I am slow. No, no shells. Oh wait, I have an abaloni ashtray.

TPBM believes that what others say is naturally biased and untrustworthy.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Biased, yes. But that doesn't make it untrustworthy. It just means that when someone tells you something, you have to apply what you know of their worldview, mental state, and motivation in order to interpret it properly.

TPBM paints rocks and then sets them free for others to find.

[Eric]

Nope. I've been known to paint boys and... nevermind...

tpbm really wants to fire the snark-cannon in some of the current threads but isn't

[gaminwench]

I'd be happy to fire it, but someone snarkier than I will have to load it.

TPBM will be making the playa trek multiple times this summer...

[AntiM]

Just the once, unless one wants to count the salt marsh for the regional.

TPBM has a lovely pasty collection.

[catinthefunnyhat]

I have just one pair, bought in a fit of enthusiasm at a burlesque show, years ago. I think I've worn them twice. They don't like to stay on.

TPBM is serving pastries.

[Foxfur]

I saw "pasties" at first and thought that was a bit much.
Raspberry cream cheese danish anyone?

TPBM looks bright eyed and bushy-tailed this morning!

[catinthefunnyhat]

Quite the opposite. I look like an undead sloth.
TPBM knows without checking whether or not sloths have tails.
