^^^^^^ Not a bad plan. I follow the "Starting Strength" program by Mark Rippetoe. My girl plays on a defensive line for a woman's football team. She is 5'3" and wanted to get bigger and stronger. Five main lifts...bench, deadlift, back squat, military press and power cleans. Its awesome. Both of our...

TEH ILLUMINATI!

Ok...I'm down again for 2013. Our camp shouldn't be in BFE this year.

195 days to go to look good naked!

Signed in at 10am here (noon PST) and took an hour and 17 mins. to get through. had to refresh three times. Didn't lose place. This was a hell of a lot better then last year. I'll be bringing more bottles of Bradduh Kimo (155 proof rum) to the bar again this year. Bartenders choice! You meet Kimo! S...

I came across "Kimchi Camp" on the playa two years ago. I am not sure if they had been doing the fermentation on playa or off, but they did have some tasty fermented stuff to share.

Go for it!

Don't speak her name! She might hear it and return!

He is pretty funny. I hope he makes it to the playa.

Gentle got back to me finally!

Gonna volunteer for a few shifts at the three o'clock location. I am gonna be camping at 4 n' A supposedly this year, so its close by.

I discovered Zumba. Its surprisingly a bunch of fun.

Some of the moves annoy the crap out of me, but overall I really enjoy it. Its also nice being the only guy in a class of 40 women.

The plus of the "tickets wanted" section is at least the other areas of eplaya aren't filled with people talking about how they deserve tickets and how they will bring plursparklemagictarothealinghandsrawfoodcookingetcetcetc.

I'd say get one now and try it out. The thing with the playa is you want to avoid moop, and frankly cigarette butts stink, so carrying them around with ya kind of sucks (I imagine.) So an e-cig would eliminate the waste aspect of smoking. Plus, they tend to not stink and not piss off the people arou...

Personally, if someone tells me they are "enlightened" I tend to look sideways at them.

Sent the volunteer coordinator my info. Hope to rejoin the ice slinging masses again this year. :) Awesome! Which ice franchise do you typically work? Would you be interested in working with a bunch of eplayans Tuesday at Ice Cubed from 9 to noon? I was working at the 9 o'clock ones. Closing shifts...

No. It is b.s. His girlfriend is being irrational. Course, if he puts up with it, so is he.

Sent the volunteer coordinator my info. Hope to rejoin the ice slinging masses again this year.

I'm actually looking at a pair of those! Or the merrell brand barefoot shoes that are a bit less conspicuous, cause they look like regular runners. Decisions, decisions. Does anyone around here own a pair of five fingers? Your thoughts are welcome. I run in NB Minimum shoes. I love em! You gotta br...

How to buy tickets securely on Craigslist?

Don't!

Probably a silly question, but how the heck are ya'll signing up for artica shifts already?

Cause I wanna know!

I live in Hilo. Welcome to the 808 and welcome to eplaya!

Excited, a bit.

Partner starts law school the week before the burn, so she is off the playa this year. Having gone many a years, I can definitely say I enjoy it MUCH MORE when she is with me. So I am happy to be going, sad she is not there.

The ticket situation is FUBARed though.

I got an idea for stickers (and who doesn't love stickers?) for this year's burn. Was hoping I could get some recommendations for a company to use that provides decent stickers for a reasonable price. Looking to make around 200+ and hoping they are waterproof (so they can be used on cars.) Got any r...

Whatever you do, do NOT skip notifying your professors. My school DROPS students who miss the first week without notice. Although BM is amazing, its not worth losing an entire semester for.

Good luck! My partner starts her first year of Law school the week before BM, and I'll be solo this year.

Though, I've always heard it called a Slinger. Eh, 6 eggs.

Which ice station where you volunteering at?

9 o'clock one!

I love it! Definitely doing it again this year.

Um, no.

This economy combined with a lot of lower income people and your suggestion is a piss poor idea.

Oh gosh! Me too! Mahalo!

REI camp mat. 2" of comfort. If I didn't have to check two things already on the plane, I'd bring my PACO pad. Flipping amazing thing to sleep on.

Spicy Korean cucumber salad is amazing out there...

*nom nom nom*

Hell, its amazing anytime, anywhere.

illy dilly wrote:Runner?
That is a position I'm not familiar with?

Do you mean the person that takes the ice from the back of the truck to the cash register?

Or did you go around delivering ice to camps?

Yup. I ran back and fourth from the trucks to the cashier. They called me a "runner."
*shrugs*

I'm definitely doing it again this year. It was a wonderful way to stay cool during the day. I was a "runner" so I got to carry around giant orders of ice and hold them precious, frozen cubes of joy against my chest. Plus, add in a few cold beers here and there and its a wonderful way to give back t...
