Cannot say that is specifically so. But a can of stew cooked on the engine manifold is just the thing on a Wyoming winter's night.

Haven't had much experience with them, but I do use a magazine pouch as a hip bag.

TPBM is a solo badass.

The highlight of the yearly BugFest at the science museum where I worked through college was Cafe Insecta. I always looked forward to the hush grubbies.

TPBM can give me a tip on building playatech furniture.

No, but I have been contemplating bringing a suit this year just for shits and giggles, I'm thinking Purple.

TPBM doesn't cook

At the moment, yeah, a garage half full of stuff that needs to somehow be shoehorned into a small vehicle. I don't cook as often as I should at home because I do it all day at work.

TPBM has a unique way of slipping into their shoes.

Actually, I'm typically aware of the irony intended when I do that.
TPBM thinks this board needs an "Irony Mode" that will properly identify the the fact that someone's not making a serious statement. Perhaps color, perhaps font, mayhaps... both?

If it's really too much work to abuse emoticons as frequently as I do, a prudent person's sig could include a (small font) color key to their statements, not unlike the color coding used at Retrofrolic: The Place of Pink, Pain and Pleasure!
purple - bisexual or same-sex oriented
white - newbie ribbon/curious
black - bondage
red - corporal punishment (pain/masochism)
orange - ask me about my fetish/up for anything
light blue - slut! (Looking for sex/I wanna get laid)
Only I will suggest for the purposes of general posting, a color key of general use could be something like this:

Red - I'm angry and will probably be sorry about this later.
Orange - I'm angry and I will never be sorry!
Yellow - I was wrong, I actually AM sorry, but that's embarrassing, so behold: a font that's tough to read.
Green - Sarcasm.
Blue - Drunkypants!
Purple - Unbridled Lust.
Pink - Drunk again.

The person below me feels kinda high on the adrenaline of Packing & Prep.
