ok, this is getting weird!

My Burner Compatriots! As many of you may know, I’ve been creating some waves documenting our crazy vibrant underground scene in writing. Up until now, I’ve been simply publishing these lurid tales of lust and depravity in my blog on Tribe. http://people.tribe.net/tommybigfinger?r=10025 I am happy t...

I am proud to say that the PlayaGround pool located at 9:30 and Amnesia was a raging success. It was shielded from view by a 6 ft. tall black fence, inside of which was 1000 sq ft of astroturf and a Pink Pong table (yes a pink ping pong table). The pool water was very clean, and pretty clear, althou...

OK, so I apologize for the LAST post of mine, not for any others. In that post you detect a certain amount of frustration having built up from yet another form of antagonism, this time a threat from the entire blogsphere. While Kinetic i believe was truly trying to give me good advice, it certainly ...

bring it on. the truth is in the pudding. certainly in this thread. anyone who attacks me for stupid, childish reasons will look like a stupid child. If anyone attacks me for the right reason, hopefully with ease and grace, I will self-correct with their help and advice.

Fellow Citizen of Black Rock City, Fur is flying, vehicles are mutating, ‘stockpiles’ are mounting. “Yay”, you say. “Burning Man is next week!!! It’s gonna be so great!!!” Well, my friends, I’m here to remind you that ‘great’ can also mean BAD on a ‘great’, grand, epic level. I invite you to read a ...

[quote="theCryptofishist"]Okay, okay I admit I plonked bigfinger and started informally ignoring this thread with "Cryptofool" and I missed "Cryptodouche." Yes, bigfinger, "Cryptofool" hurt me and "cryptodouche" is just darn gross. I try to do right by this board and by the event. Sometimes I fail. ...

[quote="Badger"][quote]I know people who have burned by relying on them in the past and I'd like to spare you the headache and suggest that you have a plan b.[/quote] Take that advice and run with it. JOTS is NOTORIOUS for not being able to follow through. It's not a question of indifference or negl...

[quote="fetching"]bigfinger, from this thread, i have now heard about your legendary pool parties! i have my own set of water wings and a styrofloat that goes on my back, can i come for a swim? i promise i won't pee in it.[/quote] now that's what i'm talking about!!!! what a long wasteful bullshit d...

ok, you can bury the hatchet. i do think though that it's kind of pathetic how all the people on this list that seemingly enjoyed going off on one of your fellow burners based on total total bullshit could NOT take responsibility for their actions. they just got upset when i justifiably had a proble...

again, why do you not have a problem with the initial act of maligning me and my camp as being slimebags trying to use a pool to lure women in for sex, and instead have a problem with the SARCASTIC response back? that seems awfully hollow. You're so caught up with the letter of the law while ignorin...

[quote="Chai Guy"]Calling theCryptofishist "Cryptodouch" is not cool, it crosses a line. It's mean and I don't appreciate it. Perhaps it pushed my button because fishy is a close personal friend, I'm willing to concede that, but I'm asking politely, please refrain from making similar comments in the...

[quote="Chai Guy"]Watch the name calling bigfinger, it's not allowed here. People didn't appreciate your idea and they let you know it. No one resorted to calling you names and I would like you to extend us the same respect. If you have a point back it up with facts, or humour, or sarcasm, or whatev...

[quote="Sobretta Franjipan"]O.K. I admit it-I thought the chill pill idea along with checking out the pool boy sounded, well, peaceable (along with lightening up this thread) but your so darned cranky, nevermind. I live close to Hollywood. Does that make me an asshole by proxy? Why not! If you live ...

[quote="Sobretta Franjipan"] pools are gross on the playa. Do the "sexiest freaks on the playa" (ha hahahahahahahahahaha-really, that's good) have the top international DJ's spinning by their PRIVATE pool? [/quote] But why, oh why would you wanna know Ms. Sobretta? pools are gross on the playa, aren...

[quote="Steven bradford"]But you haven't answered the most important question!!!! Is the pool boy Hott, in, or out of, a Speedo?! And congratulations-- That's really a lot of work to get that all set up.[/quote] Of course he's hot!!! This was all a front, as Cryptodouch so accurately suggested, for ...

[quote="mo_corleone"][quote="Bigfinger"]As for the water and our disposal of it- don't worry about it. we've got it covered[/quote] awesome. would you mind sharing at least a general overview of how this is done? i've struggled with methods for gray water management and removal and it sounds like yo...

and, My Dear Cryptofool, might i draw attention to the fact that you tried to 'profile' me in the manner that people are profiled by race and other meaningless and dangerous criteria. You tried to say that because I was listed as being from Hollywood, that means i'm some ignorant asshole. wow. you d...

dude, who's the judgemental snivler? from your very first post you been being judgmental. and now you can't take the truth that you're a chronic complainer? there's no judgement there- i'm just stating fact. all you have to do is go back to the thread for proof.

and by the way, bitches (because that's what you do), we got our pool guy- he owns a spa and pool construction company. that pool's gonna be crystal-clear, my friends who like to hear the sound of their own bitching. if yer human enough to admit defeat, maybe i'll even extend you a free pool pass. t...

JEeezz!!!!! you guys are a volatile bunch!!! 1) Sorry for the cross-posting- i wasn't aware that it was such a grave offense, and i still don't really understand why it would get people in such a tizzy. take a chill pill already. 2) The Pool HAS TO BE PRIVATE BY DECREE of BORG. We HAVE TO CALL IT PR...

We are seeking an expert pool attendant to setup and maintain our 4 ft deep, 15 ft diameter PRIVATE camp swimming pool. You may have heard myth of our epic pool parties. Well, this is your chance to get in on the most fun you’ve had with water in a long time. And when a dust storm comes and we pull ...
