The person below me

[MikeGyver]

As in cash? No, I use my debit card most of the time. When I have cash in my pocket it usually leads me to the bar.

TPBM would prefer credit didn't exist

[Box Burner]

Not much of a beer fan,
and my postcards from vacation: "Having a great time... glad you're not here."

TPBM doesn't prefer beer, either.

More than don't prefer, I actively don't like it. Only place I will drink it is on the playa, and then it's just usually to be polite.



tpbm will also consume things outside of their normal diet to be polite on-playa

Eric, I do like beer but much prefer whiskey and rum. So if we should meet on the playa (and I hope we do) that is what I will have.

Very true.


TPBM thinks money should not have been invented

[theCryptofishist]

No, I have to admit, despite it's significant drawbacks, money is darn useful, and simplifies what would otherwise be very difficult situations.
TPBM wishes gas powered screwdrivers had never been invented.

[Sail Man]

gas powered screwdrivers really? the only screwdriver I want that has anything to do with gasoline was one that was made in a gas powered blender, and.....

tpbm has one

Not yet, but I have plans for building one around here somewhere. Was very tempted when Elliot was giving away that motorcycle.

TPBM doesn't like frozen drinks.

[Savannah]

Just the opposite, I am a little too interested in frozen strawberry margaritas, piña coladas, banana daiquiris; pretty much reminiscent of a Slurpee (including Slurpees themselves; also very acceptable).

It has just occurred to me that I somehow manage to drink only about 1 per year. What IS that? . . . I'm living my life all wrong.


The person below me has proper old-fashioned suspenders that button on to their trousers, instead of clipping.

[ygmir]

indeed I do!! I'm a fashion horse, as all know..........

TPBM wants to go shooting

[Elorrum]

As much as I'd like to own a motorcycle, which is to say a lot. really.
BUT I don't handle VERY DEADLY things as a matter of course. I drive, I use knives, etc., but I think I'm better off not shooting or riding a motorcycle.
Let's say I'm conflicted.

tpbm has no similar conflict.

[theCryptofishist]

*sad laughter*
TPBM thinks it's time to go out and build a sand castle and then wait for the tide.

[Aurelia]

although I do like ebb and flow..
It seems hasty to move away away from unbuttoning those suspenders too quickly.

TPBM enjoys moving slowly when it seems good

[OregonRed]

Moving slowly has its place. And there are definitely days that moving slowly is about all I can manage.

TPBM has wanderlust.

[tamarakay]

Yes, yes I do. I'm hankering for a train trip.
TPBM is going to head out the door and look for adventure RIGHT NOW

[lucky420]

Well not this minute. Adam and I are heading out to a new locally owned toy store later though. Should be fun and with Adam, most likely an adventure.

TPBM has no problems with clowns

[OregonRed]

Problems? *twitch* I wouldn't call it a problem. *twitch twitch* I'm just not *twitch* overly fond of them.

TPBM is looking forward to Halloween.

[Aurelia]

me too !
I avoid clowns whenever possible ..particularly at the Folsom Street Fair

but I am ready if
TPBM is ready to go check out wusup ..

[theCryptofishist]

Sounds too much like catsup to me.
TPBM thinks it was Colonel Mustard, with the lead pipe, in the Center Camp Cafe.

[Ratty]

Col. Mustard wore braces, (those suspenders with buttons).

I saw a guy Laying Pipe in the Center Cafe. It could have been the Colonel.

TPBM feels like baking some Toll House Cookies.

My oven takes longer to heat up than it does to cook anything so I don't bake much.

TPBM likes to scare kids on Halloween.

[Elorrum]

No, kids generally like to scare me.
tpbm is getting tired of the playa dust residue he/she keeps coming across.

[OregonRed]

Not really. After thirteen Burns, it's just become a fact of my life.

TPBM is ready to go back to bed.

[Eric]

I'm always ready to go back to bed.


tpbm is in work-avoidance mode...

[Asquared]

luckily and unfortunately, i haven't had much work since before burning man. it was lucky because i could plan out my whole burn on company time. and it's unfortunate because sitting at work all day with nothing to do is fucking lame. thankfully, you all keep me entertained.

TPBM - if you could just pick up and move to ANY CITY IN THE WORLD right now, would you? and where would you go?

[Box Burner]

You don't already know the answer to that? BRC

TPBM likes caramelled apples

[Eric]

it's actually one of the few ways I like apples (I don't hate them, just not my preference)



tpbm is loves when the heirloom tomatoes come into season

[theCryptofishist]

OMG yes! When I was a kid, I didn't like tomatoes. Turns out I didn't like supermarket tomatoes.
TPBM thinks there's a lesson to be learned there. (Damn pedantics!)

[MikeGyver]

I try almost every food I "don't like" once a year. Most of the time I still don't like it but there's a few things I decide I like as time goes on. Living with a set list of things you do and don't like makes life fairly boring.

TPBM doesn't think i'm weird for not liking Sushi (Like everyone in San Diego seems to think)

[Asquared]

i do not think you are weird - i don't eat fish either, and i grew up in seattle where everyone thinks i'm weird for not liking fish.

TPBM thinks its not right to kill the wittle fishies.

[ygmir]

no, I'm ok with killing stuff and eating it. I'm not ok with killing just to kill. I'm not ok with suffering. but, yup, I'll eat most anything that will sit still, (or at least not move too far away).

TPBM now knows I'm nutz!!

[Patsh]

Yup!

TPBM thinks it takes one to know one
