"Also, any new engine, not broken in, redlined repeatedly, is gonna have issues. I saw a new Saab9000 turbo begin shooting oil out of the tailpipe. Messy."

Must've been a Saab 9-5. The 9000 ceased production in 1998. Shooting oil out the tailpipe? My goodness.

The human mind, our neural networks, the accidental products of billions of years of evolution, are the only moral agents in the known universe. You can't prove that, one way or the other. Humans are the only KNOWN beings who can produce, describe, and carry out a moral code. Better? Do you know of...

Seems like you have something good to offer the BRC community Dave - why don't you assist with making Burning Man even better? We need the assistance of people who are aware of envirnomental issues. The path of service would be a noble one for one such as yourself.... Sorry. BM doesn't seem very no...

I like T-BONE's modified stars & bars flag. It's neato.

My favorite white trash wigger is Kid Rock.

OH, YES, BACK TO THE POINT:

All straight guys become rabid butt-plugging ass-monkeys at BM.

"Okay, who wants to do the "Spooge in a Pool" theme camp...?" Don’t shoot me, I’m only the messenger. 1 spooge = 1cc. 15,000 men x 8 days = 120,000 spooges = 120 liters 1 liter = 61 cubic inches. 120 liters = 7321 cubic inches diameter of wading pool = 72 in. area of wading pool = * x 36 x 36 = 406...

YOU GERLACHIANS!
I've always said you should all walk the plank!

BAH!

But you are correct.

[quote="sugarlarry"]BD, How did the theme camp go? What was it? Not well. A-HA! That's why I'm so bitter. As for the astrology comment. Yeah... doesn't really hold water for me either, but how is this different from any other religion? All rely upon faith, and so none hold anymore validity then any ...

sugarlarry wrote:Bigdave,

What motivated you to come to Burning Man in the first place?Was this your first burn? Just curious.

Second.

1st time, it was curiosity and the prospect of having 75 virgins all to myself at Harem Camp.

2nd time, it was to build a theme camp.

Maybe. You see how resolute I am?

It sounds like you were annoyed at having to follow some rules and finding it wasn't okay to treat the "remote desert" as a trash can. ...not about having to follow rational rules. No, no. I cleaned up our campground down to the last specks of wood and recycled as much as I could. I'm not against t...

A 'local' bm opponent complained about the potential of oil and other fluid leaks from all of these vehicles. They charged that in excess of 100 gallons of toxics would leak onto the playa and infiltrate to groundwater. In reality, of course, this was just an attempt to shut down the event over ide...

Ever go to a movie theater and see all the crap left behind in one sitting? How about a Nascar Race? trash cans everywhere and still you can not step three feet without touching an empty nacho dish or beer cup... So... the difference between these events and BM is that at Nascar, the janitors take ...

I can understand your environmental concerns. I'm not an expert on the clean up efforts or how damaging certain things are to the Playa, but really, if we were f**king it up, surely the event wouldn't be allowed to happen there again? I don't have the data to know exactly how BM impacts the environ...

Excellent reply for 4 minutes of review & thought.

1. Playa Nazis: These people make Burning Man (BM) lovely. They are the pinnacles of environmental stewardship, the defenders of Mother Earth, the thin green line between the sacred playa and 29,771 ignorant burners. Leave No Trace, except tire tracks, air pollution, motor oil, antifreeze, transmis...
