Nipples, aren't you going to take them to Tokyo with you?

ciao and love

Just the usual winter related blues. But, there are only 13 days until the solstice, then the days will be getting longer again.

ciao and love

> It gives the impression that the entire event is built around the selling of coffee.

And, as someone from Seattle, your objection is?

> he probably didn't have anywhere to put his gear by then

I thought he said his friends had left. Doesn't that mean he was *already* camped somewhere, and was now giving that spot up? If it was Thursday, where was he before then?

Ha! Caught you with the edit to flesh out the thought.

Has anyone realized that, no matter what the date, there will be people who cannot attend? What about the students who have summer jobs that they quit in order to attend BM, only losing a week of work? How will they be able to go if they must work for the bulk of the summer?

Oh come on, Badger, tell us how you *really* feel about Jesse. No need to sugarcoat things for us.

Lydia,

Speaking of small scale art; thanks for your mesmerising little piece out on the playa.

equality: removal of the power structures that dominate everything else. something between libertarianism and anarchy. IMO, the move away from this is what stands the greatest chance of seriously damaging the event as it affects some of the other "core values." Tying in what Ivy had to say; after s...

My 2 cents, There needs to be an accurate way of tracking unread posts. I am missing stuff because of the new BB, and I don't like it. I have already discovered a "plonk" feature: the scroll button or key (depending on your mouse/keyboard preferences) allows you to quickly skip past stuff you are no...

> i just like the mix of alchohol and caffeine - does that still make me a weenie?

Not if you are drinking espresso martinis. Blasted *and* alert.

The sound made when a semi-flaccid penis is squeezed from the vagina during an inadvertent laughing fit by owner of said vagina.

Naw. That's more of a vloop.

Cool! Thanks.

July 4th?

Plup: The sound made when a flaccid penis is withdrawn from a vagina.

There is road work going on near me, and there is one of those signs advising of delays, etc. nearby. That has me thinking about whether the keyboard for entering the message is integral to the unit, as it would be kinda fun to add "FUCK YOUR DAY" as the last message.

Vastly more important to me than Christmas (which I've always abhorred for its unreasonable expectations) is the winter solstice. Yikes, Tom. I am starting to find out we are way too similar. A little fire and some wine is much better than hacking your way through the malls, trying to find some cra...

Spokes,

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting that image.

Mmmmm, just picked up a side of nearly-organic (owners haven't sprayed for ten years, and are working on their cert.) free range, vegetable-based feed (no selenium around here) fed lamb. Oh, I can't wait for dinner with some friends tomorrow. Braised lamb chops with rosemary, sage and savory from th...

punk was buried with Joey Ramone. Let it rest in peace.

I think Joey Shithead would beg to differ.

Hey Jono! Good to hear you are not in Baja yet, what with a hurricane blowing in and all. Too bad I won't be there to see you wandering through the crowd in your jumpsuit; it would be kinda interesting to see the homeland security forces jumping on your ass as you leave people dropping to the ground...

Bingo! That will work in a suprising number of places.

And I love your avatar. Took a while until I *saw* the twitch.

That's one reason I like working as a carpenter.

[quote=Badger]Hamburger is cool[/quote] It is if it is free of bone particles. However, due to the way cattle carcasses are processed nowadays, there is some bone present.

I confess to swearing off beef and other cow parts. This is after hearing a rancher up here in Canada say that he would shoot and bury any cattle with BSE, rather than report to the proper authorities. This is because it would be too costly and disruptive to his business. Well, fuck his day! This is...

Ewwwww. Crispy skin is the only way to go. Crunching through the skin to get at the delicate tender flesh underneath is much more pleasurable.

Last year I loved Space Cowboys but I didn't run into them for some reason this time.

That's another reason to kick yourself for missing the Greeter shift. They were out there with us, and they rocked our asses off the whole time.

My feet are actually in better shape now. The playa ate the thick callusses, and, after a quick buff with a rasp when I got home and soaked them, they are lovely and smooth.

I'm just Stu. On and off the playa. I have never been given a playa name, so I guess I'll just keep going back until I am. And a clarifying note: Stu and Stuart Scanlon are different people. At least I think we are, as I have never seen the two of us in the same room either. I added that because I s...
