we unionized the trolls taught em manners & such they were heathens barely able to scratch a fuss made a boil on someones ass i think i heard a scream or two but mostly by and largely our trolls they all been unionized ---------------------------------------- I love the poem, nipples, and want to pu...

Dear Bob, Never mind that PM I sent you about orkut. You would hate it. It's not a replacement for the eplaya because you have to be "sponsored" by someone else to post. It's ridiculous and flies in the face of everything I (and I think you, and perhaps even burning man itself) hold dear about anti-...

hey trey, for what it's worth, I think the 3playa forum provides an inviting place in which to exchange thoughts and ideas that may be, but are not necessarily, related to burning man. I understand that burning man seems to want to limit its bbs scope to the event itself and concerns therein but tha...

hey Bob, where are you hanging out online these days anyways? I don't see you much on the 3playa. And I don't see you all that much here on the official board. So where have you gone? Your stalkers are dying to know... I'm checking out the Well for its discussion groups but of course, one has to pay...

> Call the company and ask them what they'd like you to do with the double shipment.

Do you have any idea how much hassle your desultory
instruction represents? "Call the company" ?!!! What a
nightmare. I'm sorry, that's asking too much of the
consumer.

I think assuming a refund will be available to you might be overly optimistic. Do you have something that indicates that you paid for the second set? Cause they might just ask for something like that. If I really needed the money, like I did from ages 18 - 35, I'd keep the books and sell them to oth...

Alice I didn't know you were in the east bay! I'll try to stop by. I've been enjoying a small gift you originally bestowed on R-pod.

Update 11/27, all this crap is still available, thank goodness some of it is burnable!

Here's a jpeg of the couch:

I have no idea what this thread is about but didn't feel like making a new one. I'm trying to give away a couch, a table, a chest of drawers, and a headboard thing. This is in Oakland near Lake Merritt. You need to be able to transport the stuff your self. The couch is old and threadbare in parts bu...

> What if I start a thread and no one replies? The way I see it, this will happen to even the most inventive thread creator periodically. Some days you just have an idea that no one else can really relate to. Which is fine, the thread just drifts off and one hopefully learns from his mistakes. And B...

So, any culture-jamming scenario worth its salt cannot be limited to the cafe, and should target all use of money for goods and services in the context of polluting the alleged purity of the event, shouldn't it? Dear Bob, you're missing the point, which is to eliminate all unnecessary commerce. Gra...

Your scenario doesn't sound racist to me at all. A little presumptuous, but not racist. Yeah, it is a little presumptuous, me thinking I know what's going through those kids' minds. But finding an explanation that made sense to me has helped me feel less angry in crosswalk-like situations, which is...

By the way, I don't really think my crosswalk scenario is that racist. In imagining that scenario, in trying to understand why it happened (because it made me angry and I wanted it to stop), I tried to put my mind inside the black kid's mind that was taking his/her (don't remember which sex though I...

You guys are being too hard on this poor person. Who says he's looking to buy drugs? Since when are burners so negative toward other burners, which I think this guy sounds like? Hey, New Guy, I gave up the acid a while back and at 43 don't spend much time psychonauting any more, but I used to enjoy ...

> removed hyphen from "e-playa"

Aha!!! Finally my preferred spelling is vindicated! Yay!

> why not just come out and say how you feel about race and culture and clear things up? It's just not so easy. What if saying what I think sounds racist? But I'm unsure. One has to be careful. I think when black people take a really long time to cross the street in a crosswalk, and intentionally bl...

don't get yer panties all in a wad there mr smokey I believe badger spoke up for two people and though I haven't said so yet, I'm interested as well. It's just that spring seems a long time away.

Dear Patience, I hate mashed potatoes and now that you've shown off your mastery of that phrase are you taking suggestions for a new one?

sincerely,

ps. please, no beans either

update on viewing/ exporting all of one's own posts: when I try to do so, I only see 50 posts, yet supposedly I have like 150 posts. Don't know why it doesn't work and also don't care enough about it to report the problem elsewhere.

A few comments: first, in a way, you can export your own posts here, because you CAN view all your own posts. I'd forgotten about that when complaining that I couldn't export my own posts here. affg: back on the old eplaya I was offended by you a couple times but after getting used to you, I saw the...

I disagree w patience here. I read affg's term as an attempt to combine 'hispanic' + 'chicano' + a little ridiculous starbucks terminology tossed in on top. I didn't see it as offensive at all, more as a comment that these terms can be ridiculous and unmanageable. I think offense is an overreaction ...

fuck it

I'm sorry to jump into this late and have not read the posts carefully but I have seen people (myself included) labelled racist just because they have the balls to discuss openly what most people never examine. I've spent a lot of time thinking about racism and once was trying to explain my thoughts...

Would anyone be attempting to MOVE the boat? Or are we just talking stationery here? I think it sounds really fun either way.

I feel sorry for any admin that has to struggle through the previous post and try to figure out what is being said / requested. Is he trying to communicate? I'm glad it's not my job to care.

Also I think it's a bug that the first post of the thread takes as its subject the title of the thread, or maybe that's by design, not sure. In other words, on the first post of this thread, I did not put in a title. The title was populated automatically. I guess that's good.

See like this post should not display the subject line at all because there is no title
