If those are your wishes, they will be honored.

...........I was standing right next to the scissor lift while the barfly said that. She was mighty quiet when the lift came down.....and if she was stupid enough to keep spouting when she came down, there were more than a few people prepared to administer a numbing correction to that idiot. The Te...

\\ What we have here, Is a failure to communicate.. And a bunch of control freaks... When I croke, I want a note for me placed in the temple. Then the people that placed it raise as much hell as they possible can. All in my name sake.. If you need it your way so bad.. Build and burn your own temple...

My biggest problem with people at the Temple Burn this year was the DPW crew sitting on top of their scissors lifts. When asked to quiet down, one of the DPW girls replied, "Suck a dick whitey!" Dissapointment is not even a description of how I felt. I feel that DPW of all people should understand ...

We hit pavement at 3:30pm Monday and I counted 13 burner related automotive issues on 447 and 80. All were tire or axel related except for 1 roll over and 1 jack knifed trailer on 80. This tied my 2006 count. Obviously maintenance and safe driving are not burner strongpoints

We hit the gate Wednesday night about 6:00PM, completely amazed that the stars aligned in our complicated middle-aged lives and that it was really happening. We obeyed the speed signs and crept along to the first stop all the while every single vehicle following us, passed us like they were in some ...

Arrived Wednesday night, around 7:00PM or so there was a female DJ playing all smutty tunes. It was great! BMIR really helped make the wait tolerable. BIG thanks to ALL of the DJs. WELL DONE!!!!! I have 1 question though. This female DJ played the funniest song I've ever heard. The artist basically ...

Wednesday night, 8:00PM, drove past a fully lit LEO check point at about K and 5:00 with sniffy dogs all busy in 2 burner RVs. Not a good way to start a burn.

Left camp at 7:55AM Monday morning all proud that 90% of the packing and MOOPing was done prior to going to the temple Sunday night. Hit the exodus line and thud..... 7.5 hours to pavement!!!!!! Jkisha is right, next year it needs to be planned for. That many hours with no shade, no ice at 100 degre...

Hey Eric, Burning differently is color. Color is good. I have met so many fantastic people over the past six or so burns attended . The common thread I seem to find is that they are eager to engage in conversation, want to learn about you, want to contribute and are respectful of boundaries. Douche ...

Ug D, I don't think there is an "ourselves" anymore. The event has reached a scale that I believe exceeds the actual quantity of solid, ethical burners out there. Now the population that presents itself is more of a reflection of the outer world, ranging from the real deals to douche-bag, wanna-bes....

This is a great therapeutic thread for me. It is very reassuring to know that I am not the only porch light that the douche bugs are attracted to. Should we set up the Department of Douche-bag Decontamination (DDD)? Triple D.... kind of has a nice feel :oops: ... I mean sound to it. Decontamination ...

It would take nothing to stick a nice bike unlocked outside center camp and watch it covertly. Easy sting. Would be a great way to send a message to thieves who prey on the burn. The mother ship could keep a list to refuse ticket sales to documented offenders for the future. RF chips are cheap now t...

An old thread but this happened to me 3 years ago. I'm one of those old guys who raced mountain bikes in the late 80's early 90's and still keep the old rig around. Seems there's a growing market for old high end mountainbikes. I brough it to BM and at center camp one day I go to leave and someone h...
