On another message board I suggested no cuffs, but a bag over his head.

[quote="Simon of the Playa" post_id=1223341 time=1679052346 user_id=29211] “[T]he greatest threat to Western civilization today is not Russia,” he said, but “some of the horrible USA-hating people that represent us.” [/quote] He's not wrong but I think my list of miscreants would be different than h...

[quote="super schafe" post_id=1223198 time=1677904247 user_id=139590] Looks like I will be in line with everyone else on opening day. I've heard if you arrive too early, you get sent to a secret waiting area, it is a bad place, and you do not want to be there. Realistically though, at what time shou...

Also -- and this is not made clear on the ticket info site -- the Stewards Sale needs a link, and the link is handed out by the various 'camp leaders' of theme camps to those they deem essential for their camp's success. If, as a Burning Man virgin, you can connect with one of these leaders and conv...

But no one who voted for Trump worships him, they know who is his... The economy is booming and that's all they wanted. You obviously haven't watched any MAGA rallies; there's enough adulation there to make Kim green with envy. I think you're right, though; so long as the economy perks along there ...

As a long time volunteer for TTITD I would recommend not trying to join any of the departments your first year there -- enjoy wandering around gobsmacked as you will be if you're paying the slightest bit of attention. Then you'll be better able to figure out if you want to drink the Kool-aide and wh...

Yeah, and a permanent exodus of many people after those plagues. A few years ago when we had minor whiteouts on Monday morning, and Tuesday morning, and Wednesday morning, I had a conversation with a guy who'd arrived on Thursday. He commented there was a lot of dusty traffic southbound on 447 when...

An-n-nd it just now flipped back to "You're early!" screen. No ticket for me this year.

Edit: Confirmed; the button on my Profile page is gone.

Two hours and 50 minutes watching the spinning doohickey -- no tickets.

Awesome. What's HEAT stand for?

I'll hazard a guess. Heavy equipment Ariel transport?

Heavy Equipment And Tools you whack job.

Heavy Equipment and Transport.

Mighty big tools in that yard.

Welp, it's coming up on four days and no nibbles. Most folks who have replied seem to be under the misapprehension that I was looking for ways to use the disk. Guys, it was $16, something like 2% of what a ticket and gasoline to get to TTITD would be, not counting the VP or other supplies. My mindse...

Sorry, you should report to the thread about ancient technology :D Nobody watches a movie from a local device, all goes streaming. Humph! I still have DVD-Netflix in addition to their streaming service, and find typically in my 30-movie queue only one or two tagged, "Watch Now." How do I stream the...

Aw, come on, two days and not one nibble? Not even a PM? In case I was not clear, I'm paying the shipping.

It's funny, but for seven years, I'd leave the playa for home about 2am on Tuesday or later in the week and I never squashed one rabbit. Then the eighth year, south of Gerlach they showed up in droves. I got to about 25 before I lost count, well before Nixon.

In April I ordered a Blu-ray copy of GITS, Solid State Society https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MXN6U4C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00? from Amazon and let it sit on the shelf for a while. When I finally opened it, I discovered that it is region B and unplayable on my North American player. I sup...

This week's Time cover:

Brain bleach! Where'd I put the brain bleach!

Unfortunately the Trumpets will merely bellow, "Fake news!" and "Deep state!"

There's stupid, there's ignorant, then there's willful ignorance.

Years ago when I was an activist for the Libertarian party, we made a concerted effort to steer the NRA from being a conservative organization to one concentrating on -- you know -- gun rights. We utterly failed. I am in the process of doubling my ammunition stash for use when the make Trump preside...

There was also a time when the rave was two miles out in open playa, far away from the effigy, but that was decades ago and the time machine is all broken. IIRC, the two injuries at the 1996 burn that helped prompt the BLM's stern gaze and the move off-playa in 1997 were caused by somebody speeding...

Well said (not that I favor the current administration or gang in charge of Congress. At all.).

I tried the ravioli once. I went in ravenous because I was given to understand it was a generous portion. I got only five -- five really big ones; I ground to a halt about half-way through the last one.

I'm not as dusty as some of the posters in this thread, but every year since I was first to TTITD in 2009, it's been about 40% virgins. Somehow we've managed to survive and thrive this annual influx of the clueless. Now, since we went "mainstream culture" in 2012 this might have become more difficul...

Now, that's funny!

Good luck - don't let me discourage you. But for your own sake, spend your first year experiencing and surviving the playa without trying to do too much. You only get one first year, and if it is right for you, you can come back bigger and better the next year. Golden words of wisdom. Unless you pa...

That's what the BLM seems to figure the policing we need costs (for 2015). And that's without Choco Tacos.

The Org, of course, is objecting.

There are a few camps you should check out - while they are not exclusively "Christian", you might find what you are looking for: Camp Beaverton - a sacred space for wayward girls seeking redemption in Christ The Downlow Club - where every morning is spent down low praying for forgiveness BloAsis V...

No progress yet, though.
