One of these years... one of these years.

TPBM has looked up at night and thought the flares were UFOs.

Nope. Well, unless you mean in the literal "there's something flying and I don't quite know what it is" sense.

TPBM, lacking the male bits to be a closet shirtcocker, is instead a closet pantsboober.
When he lights his streetlamp, it is as if he brought one more star to life, or one flower.
When he puts out his lamp, he sends the flower, or the star, to sleep.
That is a beautiful occupation.

No. But I'd love to hear Nina Hagen do it.
TPBM can't understand why no one posted all weekend on this thread.

I can totally understand...we are all down to crunch time in our planning and busy posting in the "one item per day" thread instead

TPBM has never posted in the aforementioned thread...EVER

Oh I don't know...A time and a place I suppose.

TPBM has got to stay out of the fabric/craft store :roll: until they finish current projects.

Um. You have the wrong Fishy.
TPBM has had to rethink at least one project this year and had to radically change it.

Actually, that's true: I was planning a spontaneous nude Butoh solo performance at the Temple (Butoh is very concerned with life and death), but instead changed it to a small (partly clothed) group performance at a dinner at Camp Contact on Thursday night.

TPBM is asking, "what the hell is 'Butoh'"? :wink:

No, we had Britannica when I was a kid and that put me off the whole institution until wikipedia came around.

Alas, no. I lost my oral virginity at the tender age of... nevermind. I'll just say that a lover who is a cunning linguist is high on my list.

And I've never had any complaints about my abilities in that department either.

TPBM just had their first honest-to-blog pre-playa FREAKOUT, and is now trying to control the hysterics.

I haven't, but I'm sure tempted to. I committed to performing in Renn Faire all this weekend, and to family plans next weekend . . . meaning I've got to be really damned creative with my time at this point. :shock: I don't really have any shopping left to do, but there are some logistical matters and clothes left to work on.

The person below me already shipped absolutely everything.

It's not crucial, but I enjoy starting arguments at our Thursday night AA meetings.

Grilled is the ONLY way to eat hot dogs.

I'll admit I had to look that up...and I'm not sure if you mean the rugby team or the plane. But either one of those sounds fun. :)
