I haven't followed the links provided yet, but it reminded me of my ex and his sisters BS regarding BM '04 and '05. I didn't see it, but when I got back from BM '04, my mom told me that when she went to my ex's to pick up my daughter, his sister was there and she had a sign in her back window that s...

" Oh, and btw, those pants DO make your butt look big bitch.' lol " Sissylala, it always strikes us guys as funny the things women do to attack each other. These things are changing though, I spent 14 years trying to be a surrogate dad to 4 little girls [now big] As soon as they were out of diapers...

Sisylala, I LIKE the way you think. You could give Dallas Playa the benefit of your observations and feelings. He's posting on "frat boys go home" He has certain beliefs and feelings that aren't well accepted by a few others. He could use some of your insight as balance. I have one tiny, teeny obse...

Dallas, I looked (sorta) for the who/what/when that you've mentioned several times....couldn't find it.... Gotta admit, I didn't look that hard because in my mind, the who/what/when/why/how of CT is up to ME. It's what I make it. Nothing that anyone else sees/views/thinks/assumes/demands/fantasizes ...

What'd you get? An explosive case of: Anus Delirious a/k/a BAS - "Babbling Ass Syndrome" Kind of an avian flu You get it from licking dirty lightswitch faceplates or indulging in stale arguments on the internet. Marked by spastic episodes of reasoning with the un-reasonable. Dammit, who's gonna cle...

Making out in a JOTS??? ok, ewwwwwwww and double ewwwwww...I mean come on, it's BRC, like you have to hide, and if you feel the need, in a freakin' JOTS??? BLECH! That said.....First and foremost, I applaud JOTS, robbidobbs and anyone else who has anything remotely to do with the potties in BRC. Whe...

<So are you advocating "playa justice" right off the bat by squirting cameras with water guns? So what if that camera cost $2K with lenses and all, you have no problem ruining it just to get a point across?> While I agree with you that playa justice should not be the first option (and, mind you, I ...

I certainly understand the power of releasing body image shame, but maybe if we forgo the bare breasts one year, it would encourage those girls who won't do it now out of fear of photos to join us? . This was my 3rd Burn and CT was one of the first things I saw my 1st year. I think we'd been out an...

While I'm glad that I've always brought enough water to Burning Man, last year someone in our group brought baby wipes....what a lifesaver! We'd kept the container in a cooler....a nice, soft, cool baby wipe after running around the playa is a step below heaven! We also had travel packs to carry w/ ...

As far as the sign, I really don't think it would have helped. If someone doesn't stop just because they think it's the right thing to do, regardless of if they know the situation or not, then a sign won't make a difference. Well, unless it said something like, "Won't work for food, but will blow f...

...would it have been better if they'd tried to limp to a better spot... Correct answer, but around here you'd be surprised at how many people try to change a tire mid-span on the Golden Gate Bridge. ...we did get it fixed w/ my jack and the help of a NHP officer who parked behind us, all lights fl...

Nevada LEOs and BLM have become more involved in 'morality issues' as the years pass. So the idea of 'leave us well enough alone' is moot. It's increasing, and will continue to do so. I lived in Pahrump for a bit- I know from first hand experience the mentality that prevails in rural Nevada. Trust ...

everything Burning Man stands and that would be? Ok, ya got me there. I guess I overstepped my bounds. Sorry, I tend to flap my jaws w/out thinking sometimes. I don't claim to know what Burning Man stands for. At least not in the minds of anyone but myself. I guess what I should have said was, "IMH...

M One of the things any community must have if it is to function as a community is respect and some level of caring for one another. I met some of the sweetest people, was treated like family by complete strangers. Heck, one camp even offered me a bowl of hot chicken stew and a cold beer when they ...

I think I would have tried some humor. Find some cardboard and a sharpie and make a sign: I M A Dumbass FLAT TIRE FORGOT JACK NEED HELP I don't think it would take too long for someone to give a hand. In this case you are telling them EXACTLY what the problem is and EXACTLY what you need. Someone c...

Ok, first of all, YES, communityness is a word.....ok, maybe not officially, but once something has been said, it's a word, even if not found in a dictionary right? Anyway, to my point.... My friends and I went out this year in two vehicles, they were about a 1/2 hr/45 minutes ahead of me, pulling a...

No one had to describe much to me to get me interested. I'd already been all over the rest of the western desert, friends of mine had gone for a few years, and eventually they tricked me into helping them do a little plumbing. Jeez I hate to say this but seems you and I have something in common the...

Some friends of mine planned on bringing his 14yr old son saying, "He needs to be exposed to real life". Ummmm when was the last time you saw someone in a fur loincloth wandering the aisles of Walmart? And if you have, did he/she resist arrest or go peacefully? (they ended up not bringing him becaus...
