Pstyle - Jet, did you get that one from me?

Keep your pee funnel on you before, during and AFTER the trip. Keep a pee jug in the car for Gate and Exodus.

Yup. I had a different kind for the last few years, but I like the travel friendly size of the pstyle.

Bring toilet paper! Folks vocally expressed envy as I headed to the potties last year, roll in hand. Note that angry bitter old burners may yell at you for your crimes of paper. It's a little known fact but these twoo buhnahs will offer your genitals a tongue bath after, as a way to prevent the cruel and needless arborcide that takes place in our selfishly defecating society.

I bet that paper has cotton content. It clogs the machines. It's a real problem. Of course, I have a roll of single ply so I don't run out, but it's the dreary rv stuff.
And no, I'm not bitter. At least about loo paper. Horrible memories of Mr. Whipple have made me realize that we, as a country, spend far too much energy on this.

Surely this must be a joke!

My guess is that if someone were to be so foolish as to sexually assault someone in our village, Dr. Jet would be in the group that hangs the bastid upside down over a fire for a slow roasting.


But, you know, not in a vigilante way.

And they would surely deserve it. But not in a vigilante way, of course.

All of the advice here is free.

Most of it is priceless.

Some of it is worth every cent.

Caveat emptor.

Scour the garage sales, flea markets, and Goodwill stores for unusual clothing to make costumes so that you'll look very individual in order to fit in with everybody.

But don't be afraid to wear blue jeans or khaki pants if you don't get into wearing costumes. If someone tells you you look like a tourist, tell them to fuck off and call them hippies.

Vigilante. Just one of the many services the PlayaWaste Raiders provides to the citizens of BRC.

Do people still scour the garage sales, flea markets, and Goodwill stores for plastic doll heads to put over their rebar stakes?

I don't know, but that's a great idea! Then paint the eyes with green glow in the dark paint.

It was popular in the 90s, but you could start a revival.

He's a tad 'too nice' for our group.

Or tell them, "Gee, Burmingham sure has changed" and take their picture.

My playa boyfriend last year was a khaki's & t-shirt type of person; he wouldn't have attempted "playa clothes" if you put a gun to his head.

I was asked by a guy in standard playa wear (boots; fake fur; cowboy hat; kilt; etc) why he didn't "dress up". I told him Jered was at Burning Man to get away from Required Uniforms & looked the guy up & down. For some reason that was a conversation ender...

[Savannah]

Excellent.

Such rudeness would drive me up a wall. People should mind their own faux fur.

[FIGJAM]

Last year, as soon as I parked, I unloaded the trike to take a quick look around.

I was making a circle around center camp and the very first words said to me on the playa were "Levis and a tee shirt! realy!!!"

Fuckum! I just had'nt changed yet.

[Eric]

I've talked about people who shop at "Playa R Us" in Piss Clear ages ago- basically the blue bob-wigged female with a fake fur bikini & leg warmers with a cowboy hat & fairy wings or a guy in a utilikilt or sarong, no shirt, cowboy hat and "steampunk" goggles. The ones who you can spot as "burners" from a mile away, because they wear The Uniform. They also seem to be the first people to tell other people that they're not dressed "appropriately".

I had one of them tell me I wasn't "weird" enough once (I was just wearing loose pants & an "Almost Fuckable" t-shirt). I told her my beard wasn't removable when I go home and just stared (and stared and stared) at her wig. Then walked away.

[AntiM]

What about MyLArry who wears his utilikilt on a regular basis OFF the playa? Especially when we're on vacation?

[CapSmashy]

Naw, Charles could hang with our group. Not mean enough? Have you been eating the brownies again?





Uncle Don had a story about him from Bellaire Patrol. LAPD dropped off his kid, he was drunk and causing a ruckus somewhere, and Mr. Bronson thanked the police officer and knocked his kid out with a right cross and left him on the porch before going back inside.
