The person below me

[OregonRed]

I don't generally drink coffee. I am one of those weirdos who can function better without it.

TPBM is always unnerved when I say that.

[jella]

Freaky I tell ya, just freaky

TPBM can have a cup of coffee and go to bed.

[lazerfox]

alas no. I'm more like OR. If I drink a soda after 11:30pm I'm up all night.

TPBM prefers tea over coffee but coffee over soda

[Box Burner]

I prefer everything over soda. Like coffee and tea about the same. That is, I like both of them.


TPBM prefers to drink water with meals.

[AntiM]

Yes, except coffee with breakfast.

TPBM likes coffee flavored anything, such as gum, jello or beer.

[BoyScoutGirl]

Can't stand the smell or taste of coffee.

TPBM doesn't shave their legs.

[theCryptofishist]

Why, oh why...
TPBM thinks the GirlBoyScout was fishing deliberately.

[MisaBlue]

Naahhh, I wouldn`t be so harsh.

TPBM will be so kind and explain me what they understand under the tern Eastern Europe.

[AntiM]

Um, the parts of Europe which aren't touching the Atlantic Ocean? And not Austria and Switzerland, but the rest which most Americans can't name without a map? And not Russia, because that's ... Russia. (And I studied geography, go figure). No really, I know the real answer, just giving the one most Americans think of first.

TPBM is embarrassed they would have to look that up to be sure.

[theCryptofishist]

Look up what other americans think? I hope I don't have to do it, it would make my head ache.
(I'd probably go with former communist countries but then germany and the balkans would be a little poorly defined. But "Central Europe" is the sausage and baking zone!)
TPBM knows, and is used to, the fact that these are as much art as science.

[Foxfur]

Umm yeah. How about I have another glass of cheap wine and a headscratch...

TPBM's medulla oblongata is peripherally irritated.

[lucky420]

I'm not sure if I have one of those. but I had a motherfucker of a headache last night...

TPBM is going back to bed for a bit this morning.

[theCryptofishist]

Probably. I don't know why I thought reading eplaya would be soothing.
TPBM thinks that soothing is a wave machine.

[Foxfur]

My wrist gets sore from waving too much. I have much better ways to make it sore anyways...

TPBM needs the bacon this morning.

[theCryptofishist]

No. Thank goodness, I rarely need bacon.
TPBM needs coffee every morning.

[Simon of the Playa]

it is indeed, a necessity or i die.


tpbm needs more than a cigarette to make a complete breakfast

[knowmad]

Yes I use supplemental coffee, when the crew member that is making breakfast wakes up early enough to have it ready before I go out the door. today I got nuthin!


TPBM works best under pressure.

[theCryptofishist]

No. I collapse like a house of toothpicks.
TPBM believes that real burners don't collapse like a house of toothpicks, but burn like a house of toothpicks.

[Roberto Dobbisano]

ive seen plenty of "real burners" collapse all the time.

hell i've seen real burners asleep on a toilet paper roll as a pillow half assed out of the porty potty.


TPBM thinks im kidding. Im not. No it wasnt me it was some french guy.

[theCryptofishist]

I tend to take you at your word, Robberto...
TPBM had a difficult discussion with a co-worker this week.

[Sail Man]

It's only difficult when they won't hold still, and then it makes shot placement a little iffy.



tpbm knows I'm full of you know what

[shroom]

lol!!!!

TPBM is thinking of ways to get a gold medal due to all the Olympic coverage.

[theCryptofishist]

No. I hate the olympics. Although I hear that the tribute to Mohammed Ali was ... over the top.
TPBM really only likes the winter olympics anyway.

[TomServo]

No. They don't have Roller Derby...so..No.

TPBM Thinks Skeet Golf should be an Olympic event.

[theCryptofishist]

I think a fiery explosion during the opening ceremony would be better.
TPBM just wants Olympic voguing.

[FeetOfClay]

true--the olympic events i like most are the more "musical" ones, the gymnastics and such...

TPBM thinks it is ridiculously hard to find live streaming Olympics footage online for free!

[BoyScoutGirl]

Agreed! Almost makes me wish I had a television.

TPBM cheers for the underdog.

[theCryptofishist]

If the underdog is the poor citizen of the world trying to avoid all Olympic claptrap for these two weeks, then yes.
TPBM thinks that the way most americans think they should be winning the hockey every four years are arrogant beyond words. And when you think about it, a "miracle on ice" becomes banal when it is expected...

[Sail Man]

a true miracle on ice is when we don't slip and fall on a patient who wiped out on black ice



tpbm has never experienced the thrill of a 360 when discovering black ice on the road

[BoyScoutGirl]

Nope, but I have done an end-over on my bicycle. That was a thrill.

TPBM tries to chew their rock candies.
