The person below me

[Savannah]

Sighhhs it's true!!!!


tpbm watches cooking shows

Not really. I find it stressful to keep track of everything they're doing and can only watch briefly for reasons of technique or cooking theory (from someone like Alton Brown) or someone who's very sensible and errs on the side of simplicity, like Jamie Oliver. He had a recipe for baking a salmon in a pit on the beach in herbs and lemon slices.

The person below me ends up listening to weird shows by accident while surfing the internet.

[9ah]

One of my favorite things to do.

tpbm still has not confirmed their travel plans for the playa. (flight/car/hotel)

[marcgorcey]

Damn 9ah - you nailed me.

The person below me is coming a LOOOOOONG way to the burn this year...

[Sic Pup]

2865 miles if you count my foray into Reno on gate eve (and the double back) according to Googoo maps

Not the longest but long for me, any longer and I'd be in Cali or the Pacific or something like that.

TPBM has waited a LOOOOOONG time before finally coming home again this year.

[Eric]

One long-ass year.


tpbm wants new playa boots

[C187]

I need to glue my current boots together, but if I happen upon some new boots I might just buy them.

TPBM would dress up all fancy for the playa, but doesn't want to spend the money.

[knowmad]

yah!!
er, wait I totaly read Playa boobs.
But srsly I can't top the boots Simon gifted me.

Edited because C187 beat me to it:

TPBM would dress up all fancy for the playa, but doesn't want to spend the money.

no because when I go to Reno I'll bee too busy working on cool shit to even think of looking Fabulous. but the folks over in the black hole should be happy knowing that I now have more black in my wardrobe.

PBM
If I gave you one playa encrusted trinkets at last burn and promised you two playa trinkets at this yrs burn how many burns would you have to go to to have to go to before you realized I'm just making up shit because I cant think of a question?

[TomServo]

I would assume you have a Thesaurus.

TPBM cant think of an answer either.

[Eric]

I can always think of an answer, even if I don't have a question.


tpbm has a favorite "beach" movie

[BBadger]

You mean "Beaches". Really, who can resist Bette Midler singing "Wind Beneath My Wings"?

TPBM prefers drinking from graduated bottles.

[knowmad]

I'm down with dropouts...
the person below me used the word ostentatious in a sentence this week.

[theCryptofishist]

No, you're right, I flagrantly wasted the week.
TPBM thinks that a rabbit is worth three cats.

[knowmad]

or one Albino Skunk.

PBM; Word association.
I say FRATERNIZATION you Say _______________.
I Say DOUGHNUT you Say ________________.
I Say OMNIPOTENT you SAY _____________.

[BBadger]

"Fro'-ternization"
"Dah-nut"
"Omni-pah-tent"

TPBM only likes Strawberry Newtons, not Fig Newtons.

[Sic Pup]

The only Newton I have an affinity for is Issac and only because I fell for him at that.

TPBM has fallen out of love exactly one less time than they've fallen in love.

[clocksnmirrors]

if only.


tpbm needs to take a weed whacker to their out of control toenails

[mgb327]

Gas or electric?


TPBM just blamed it on the dog.

[knowmad]

The Damn Cat! The dog saw it.

PBM Share a Fathersday memory with us.

[theCryptofishist]

Ah, my father's birthday is June 13, and my mother doesn't like Hallmark Holidays, so it was never a "thing" with us. But on the 14th my father and I went on our Thursday evening walk (yes, it was Friday, but I don't want to complicate the narrative) and we saw two cats (including College Cat, who was outside on the walk, not up on the roof by the chimney where we've seen her for months now) and a bunny. My father decided that a bunny is worth three cats. The bunny was white, and attempting to hide behind a white stake, but it didn't work, because it was a narrow stake. Then we saw four JotS. Economy must be picking up for all that work to be going on on people's houses...

TPBM thinks I added the bunny for Knowmad. (How could you? Don't you trust me?)

Oh yeah, my father like the birthday card, because it had lots of cats on it, and he liked the chocolate grater, because it was what he had asked for--but I forgot to ask him if he'd tried it out this morning.

[Elorrum]

and to think that you saw it on Mulberry Street. I believe the bunny, but 4 Jots? really?
tpbm does not know how many folding knives and flashlights they own, and believes they can be handy wherever they are found. Plus they should listen to Chet Atkins more often.

[Eric]

One folding knife (but I'm not sure where it is), a multitude of flashlights, some of which I can find. I don't think any of them listen to Chet Atkins, not having ears & all.


tpbm sometimes looks at their life and goes "what the hell?"

[theCryptofishist]

What is this "sometimes" you speak of?
TPBM would have advised me against the kale chips, if s/he'd been a traitor joe's with me.

[Elorrum]

no, I might have tried them. Thanks for the scouting report.
tpbm thinks trader joes is like the toys you can hide pet treats in, in human terms.

[9ah]

Most definitely!


tpbm could go for a nice, mid-day nap now.

[Box Burner]

Damn right. 3 hours sleep and I got a 15 hour day ahead of me.

TPBM drank 3 cups of coffee this morning.

[Eric]

It's rare that I even drink 3 cups of coffee in a week, though I used to drink it by the gallon.



tpbm only drinks soda/pop once or twice a year

[9ah]

Does seltzer fall into that category? I love that stuff with a passion (hard to find in Midwest gas stations though)

tpbm enjoys Polaroid photos (or printed photos).

[Sic Pup]

I do, very much, but the Polaroids have a tendency to leave a nasty film on my tongue (pun intended).

tpbm has eaten foodstuffs originally intended for other species.

[theCryptofishist]

Maybe as a very small child I'd eat out of the dog's bowl, but not that I can remember. I'm horribly fussy. Besides, when push comes to shove, we'll eat anything. That's what the "omni-" means.
TPBM has come to terms with the fact that there's cannibalism if s/he goes far enough back in the family tree. (And has a smoother metaphor, as well.)

[Savannah]

Hell, I'd probably resort to cannibalism after a few weeks if my plane crashed in the Andes and there was no other option.

What I'm saying is . . . if I'm flying Delta, you should probably take United.
