You don't have to apologize for anything, Dougly; I should have thought to bring some nighttime illumination, and I forgot. At least you weren't one of the idiots who shouted something about glowing as they sped past me.

After reading this topic, I'll admit one thing that's been on my mind about the event was "nighttime courtesy". Hear me out: Last year was my first year. So, like a lot of virgins, some things I had to learn the hard way: getting used to being covered in playa dust, remembering hourly applications o...

We had a stripper pole? I missed something in the camp blueprints, I think.

What is the best sword in fighting? I really want to know because I have a fight in the next few months. Is it okay to use a SPAM in a fight? Edzz, the best sword is the one you trained to use . . . Hopefully this is practice sparring or boffer combat with the proper protective gear? Live steel isn...

jason1 wrote:nice picture, what is the name of the sword that the girl brings? is that a barbarian sword

I'd say it's more of a "piece of crap" sword by the look of it.

Welcome back, Wolfe and happy new year! Nobody bothered you about your whip, did they? Happy New Year :). And no, no one bothered me about the whip. If anything, I seemed to be more popular carrying that around instead of a sword :D Re: Pulling the Knife-- I had also seen in mentioned that someone ...

Re: Swords at BM: Sorry for posting late on this one, but as Dougly stated, I was stopped by one of the Rangers (not the Black Rock kind; I'm talking the U.S. Government Employee-kind). He asked if the sword I was carrying that day was real, and I replied it was. He then told me, straight up: no swo...

Mine had to be watching one of the other barbarians at Barbarian Camp tell another burner that they could do the rope swing challenge of the obstacle course, "backwards, forwards, and upside down". He meant this as a humorous overstatement, meaning you could attempt that section of the obstacle cour...

I am sad that I missed the Temple Burn but glad that we got out by 8am Sunday. :D Amen to that. We drove from our site at 3:00 and F to the main highway in about twenty minutes. Not bad at all :). 2009 was my first BM, but I'm okay with missing the Temple Burn. I was there to see the man burn, I sa...

We heard a lot of good things about the obstacle course :). Inside jokes to remember: --When pulling up a stake, get a grunt or a Canadian. --The Green Goblin was our best 'customer' and best source of advertising. --Yes, you can go across the rope swings backwards, forwards, and upside down :). --O...

See y'all tomorrow.

--Wolfe

So, I guess all the obstacle course parts are built. Now it's just a matter of getting them to the event .

The Flaming Irish Virgin Burners are on me

Name the camp you're in; I want to be there for a Flaming Irish Virgin Burner .

"Five Irish Virgin Burners" sounds like something I would order at a bar .

Good tagline. From one virgin burner to another: See you there .

lovingflower wrote:now will all of you i'm talking to remain mystery internet folk forever?

Not necessarily. I'll out Dougly for a cold Coke and a smile .

--Wolfe

P.S. Just kidding, Dougly. Seeing as how you're the leader of our group, and my ride to BM and back, and all .

(Plenty of other dangerous things going on at BM, it's our responsibility, radical self-reliance and all that.) What can I say-- after doing so many events where it's a requirement --and add to the fact that this is government land-- I assumed they wanted that here, too. So, we're responsible for o...

I haven't found the rules on this, so someone please enlighten me:

We're barbarians. I'm assuming more than a few of us, if not all of us, will be carrying swords, axes, etc.

Do we have to keep them peace-tied at Burning Man?

Ugly Dougly wrote:Tribe is back. Can we discuss the boring details there instead of here?

Better make it fast. Tribe goes down more times than a hooker when the fleet's in .

--Wolfe

Another idea for a sign:

Have "Barbarian Camp" in Conan-movie font, and have a sword going through "Camp" like the word 'Conan' in the "Conan The Barbarian" movie title .

I wonder how much that would cost to do?

This will be on the test; study hard!

That looks cool; is someone building one?

Mmmm! Just like Mom used to make!

All I ask is that the sign is *big*-- like four feet by four feet, minimum .

EspressoDude wrote:yes, where are the shackles...padeyes...chains???

I think that's the camp next to us. I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to borrow our obstacle course equipment for alternative purposes at night.

--Wolfe

Dougly,

Just purchased the soundtrack to "Mongol". If you're looking for more barbarian-themed music, I recommend this soundtrack. It's *good*.

--Wolfe

I can think of a few song lyric portions of note from songs that inspire me: "You want to rip all the jewels off all the idiots' backs so badly, You scream give me what I've always missed, give me a good time; But if you look into your mirror You'll see that nobody, has ever ripped you off, It's all...

Cool; I'll take two of her to go.

You can keep the kitties; I don't have a litterbox big enough to accomodate them.

littleflower wrote:do you have your furs yet, wolfe?

Not yet. I'm going to hit Tandy or someplace in the next few weeks, maybe grab some rabbit pelts or something. I'm going to barbarianize a set of boots with them .

If you're some sort of pussy-ass poser barbarian, sure. Make it with a pocket, for your granola, HIPPIE. Whoa. Nobody had better approach our camp with a felt barbarian outfit; CFM just ain't havin' any of that. :) Dougly: if anyone is ballsy enough --or stupid-- to take on a wooden, splinter-fille...

Yeah, you don't see the eyebolts on the other side where the wrist and ankle cuffs attach for the *bad* barbarian men and women to receive discipline . . . or am I thinking of another camp?
