The Person Below Me...

[Slasher]

Very true but have a weakness for Kickapoo Joy Juice. Only have it very very rarely though, and laced with just a tad of Vod where possible.

TPBM drinks good Scotch neat, raw, completely uncontaminated.

[Fliegenmong]

I used to, but I've since been told by a Scottish gentleman that a little spring water brings out certain aromas and flavours

Like adding water to Pernod or Ricard I suppose, though in that instance the aromatic oils are locked away in 40 - 50 % alcohol, but released into a fabulous emulsion when a little water is added.

TPBM Also enjoys a 'Pastis' on a hot afternoon

And further...

TPBM has no idea whatsoever what Kickapoo Joy Juice is

[bob2s]

Kickopoo Joy Juice I believe was referred to in a American c0mic strip called Li'l Abner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li%27l_Abner

TPBM believes that the art of conversation is being lost due to smart phones.

[TheGreenGoblin]

True, that which makes phones smart makes dumbasses out of us...!

TPBM believes that social media have been a negative impact on social discourse and civilization even!

[Hydromet]

So true. Ops-normal, of course, is not a social medium, but it's not anti-social either.

TPBM appreciates that TPAM understands that "media" is plural.

[Slasher]

So two or more seance mediums constitute a media?

TPBM is not an uncivilised barbaric philistine and certainly knows what Kickapoo Joy Juice is.

[Hydromet]

I do indeed. A tongue-tingling drink brewed up by Hairless Joe and Lonesome Polecat. If a batch needed a bit more body, they'd find one to throw in.

TPBM thinks Li'l Abner is still one of the best comic strips ever.

[Slasher]

It wasn’t bad, but I like Hagar betterer as I can somewhat relate to him.

“Well Apsara I’m off to invade Hong Kong again!
“Huh?”
“Yep I’m gonna beat up local protestors in fierce street battle and loot whatever I can steal, and stomp a few cadet heads in the sim for good measure!”
“Well while you’re plundering and pillaging could you bring me back some packs of those Chinese tampons while you’re there? They have those pretty blue flowers on the packet. I heard they are very good.”
“Yes dear...”

TPBM reckons Fred Bassett is as boring as hell.

[Mrs Ex-Ascot]

Not boring but more light entertainment suitable for our parents generation. My favourite was always Peanuts; who can not love Snoopy?

TPBM understands fully how cicadas make their distinctive sound.

[Slasher]

Sorry I read that as ‘destructive’. In any case no I don’t.

I really should get reading glasses but my ego says it would be an admission of aging - I’m too damn young to be this old!

TPBM gets cranky having to stay in places they don’t wanna be in.

[Hydromet]

Nah, life's an adventure, and if I don't want to be there, I leave...if SWMBO says I may.

TPBM does what they wish.

[bob2s]

That may be so,but it is nice to share that wish with another.

TPBM has a hard time cutting their toe nails.

[Slasher]

True - if I have to do it myself.

TPBM pays someone else to do their grooming (haircuts etc).

[Hydromet]

I hate to think what a self-inflicted haircut would look like.

TPBM hates shaving.

[Slasher]

True. I hate doing it and believe that all pubic hairs down there should remain. Shearing though is ok.

TPBM prefers their bush neatly trimmed.

[TheGreenGoblin]

Not so much into topiary myself.

TPBM believes that a hand in the bird is worth two in the bush!

[Hydromet]

True...or a push in the bush is worth two off the hand.

TPBM enjoys nature study.

[Fliegenmong]

Depends on what nature study it is and likely not if I am 'in the nature', that's really not in my nature, to be in nature.

TPBM also thinks camping is when the hotel doesn't have 24 hour room service..

[Slasher]

False. Camping is sleeping under the stars (or a very small tent if one is rabidly gay), keeping a wood fire going all night, and either catching or murdering your own food.

TPBM believes any form of dead bloodied animal freshly killed is more deliciouser than anything bought at the local wet market.

[Mrs Ex-Ascot]

Only if cooked properly.

TPBM doesn't understand why everyone talks about a 'plant based diet' when they mean a 'vegan' diet!
