Bumping this thread...

So... Who's up for making some tentative plans for a Just-in-case-I-don't-get-tickets Soiree in Northeren Colorado? it IS Labor Day weekend, after all...

You have two options. Accept your fate ( or Ka for all you Steven King fans ) and stop your bitchen. I have been utterly amazed ( and this is coming from a sociology/psychology/philosophy major with six years of semi Ivy league years under my belt ) at the colossal amount of cow poop that has been ...

I for one would welcome a eldritch chthonic theme. The batrachian Man could be built on a cyclopean base constructed with indescribable Non-Euclidean angles and gibbous lighting... uhmmm.... what? "The Bacitracin Man beats up Cyclops with indelible, non-edible Gibbons that spew lightning?" WhAAT??!...

Another tip, learned from those crazy kids... make sure you have a jack that will be able to lift your trailer up enough to change a tire, on the side of a slanted road, in the gravel. Their mini-suv jack barely lifted it up enough to be able to loosen the lugs. Luckily, we had a GINORmous jack for...

Unlike your new avatar. Jezuz.

Way t'go TriloB.

Thanks, junglesmacks. Not being a "tire person" I really am just relaying what the Discount Tire guy said... I've had bubbles in my tire from a manufacturer defect before but never *anything* like that. The steering wheel jerked a good 2 inches back and forth when I got above 40mph (which I finally...

Maybe you've learned a valuable skill? But who wants to be learning HVAC crap when there's fun to be had!! Our main delay was that the van we rented Saturday morning had such a f-ed up front end alignment problem that both front tires were worn almost bald two inches from the center. The tires look...

I..<snip>.., or do I send a whiny little note saying that I am from Nigeria and I collect money from foreign countries and paper and high value coins are my favorites? (and get a nasty letter back (stamped from the playa) telling me what to do with my request...) ..<snip>"Recycled" Slim Sirnes' Art...

No worries about bacon-steak-blood-water. Baconsteak Bloodwater is the name given to me by the Souix. How weird. You made me laugh so hard I'm pretty sure I'm getting fired tomorrow... :P Thanks! Also, I bought a food-saver (suck the air out of the bag thingy) last year but it took me a year to lea...

I just want to add something to this to give whatever 'Big Name DJs' some proportion and what it means to me, being British and 53 years old. Although I love music and have DJ'd big parties as a amateur in my past, I know fuck about any of the DJs performing at BM, don't recognise any names what-so...

:| Seriously, if you've got our money in February and are going to waste paper to snail-mail the Guide, it should come out at LEAST a month before the event. Some of us leave early and it isn't much good sitting in my mailbox while I'm on the playa. Please mail it before we all panic because it's on...

HELL YEAH! .... Turns out our second RV isn't leaving until Sunday morning. Then they will be spending the night in West Wendover Sunday night, and hitting the playa Monday. Are y'all planning on heading over on 70? We've typically headed over on 80 since we're further North. This year our route is...

I thank you. Not that i could get anywhere that anyone texts me about (oooooo! Shiny!! Ooooooo! Look at that!!!!!) but it will be useful if we need it.

In response to the OP, no, I did not. I got sprayed plenty too. But now, I'm gonna go slightly out on a limb here and say that RangerLEO represents the typical sweeping views and stereotypes that run rampant in law enforcement today. (I realize that my statement is also a sweeping generalization, a...

Thanks for the warning....

Ha ha ha

I am a Boulder burner, heading in for my ninth burn. I'll be camping with a crew of High Country types and Bay Areans. Look for a Colorado flag near 8:30 and G or so. We'll be trying to park the RV somewhere around there too. We'll have the RV wrapped in tiki/bamboo theme and also have a small CO f...

Discussing wearing tutus on Tutu Tuesday, with a Virgin:

"Do they make those for men?"

"Sure. They wear them in Swan Lake." (ok, I made that part up... but then:)

"Oh....... I've never been there."

"It's DefendOR!"

EDIT: dam, forgot quotes

As an ex-Tex, I know she should get even higher honors for dealing with you when you get back. :lol: Make sure she knows you might need some time to decompress (down time, connect with other local burners to talk it out). Take some pictures of the family with you to remind you of how beautiful life...

"If that was an art project...." Obviously this poet has NOT been to Burning Man. And he must not have noticed those SHOES!!!! Wow! But, really, where else Should you put a rabbit in an ice block if not right in the middle of a square? Tsk. :roll: EDIT: My, god... are those LEGWARMERS???!!! :shock:

french fries - somehow I kept smelling them but missing them at Ketchup. cold fruit - Otter Pops are good (I loved gifting them!!) but the Real Thing is phenomenal after you've swallowed a gutful of dust already. Also, I didn't know how bad I was craving meat till we got to Luv's and I smelled Arby...

First, thanks for offering your help on here! My question: I'd like to add a solar panel to a new (used, 4yr old) electric scooter I just got (Mongoose 300). It turns out the old battery it has now only works about half as good as it should, so I want to get another two batteries (1 for backup) tha...

My virgin experience with public nudity at thirty-something (BM2007): We arrived at our campsite at night. The next morning, the FIRST thing I saw as the sun was rising was an old, fat, nekkid guy riding by our camp on a bike! He was bubbly all over with many folds on most every body part and a far...

Still gonna happen? Hope so!!

Thanks yg. I wonder what the rules are for placing a wheelchair on a scooter and standing on it while riding? I really miss the good old days when all you had to do was put some bullet holes in your rental car and drive it on the playa as fast as you wanted while your passengers tried to balance on...
