The Most Interesting, Stupid, Funny Thing You Have Seen.....

I’ll go first…….my first burn in 2001 it was burn night; I was wearing a pair of see through pants…….when this good looking gay man standing next to me in our camp said, “I can see your po po and reached down and touched my penis…..at the same time Danny who was a friend of this guy was running towards us yelling, “HE’S STRAIGHTâ€

In '05 we had an 80yr old guy in camp, he wanted to to shower as the water truck was going by...We all said, DO NOT RUN behind the truck the wet Playa is slippery...

Well he did not take our advice and sprinted behind the water truck, got about 15 feet from the truck and did a back side plant on the Playa. He went down so fast and hard that we all thought he had broken his hip.

He appeared OK, and got up like nothing happened, the water truck was to far down the road for him at that point, so he limped back to camp, of course much dirtier than he was before.

The next day he was Black & Blue from the middle of his back all the way to the back of his knees.

Needless to say, he never ran behind the water truck again...

There was a coffee table I will never forget.
It was dark. We were in the middle of no fucking where.
There was a lamp on the table, and a copy of Time magazine.
And a phone.

Then the phone rang.

Before I could say what the fuck, it scooted away.

Last year "Flatlander" and I were sitting in camp @ 3:45 and C. Across the street facing the Man was on hold for the opening night rush. Every year people stage close by to grab land that night. We had set up a few tents to hold land in back. These guy started dropping off gear and leaving with the truck to load more. We watch this about 4 times and decided to set a tent right in the camp they were setting up... We grabbed a tent and ran over, we tossed some of the gear into the tent and ran back to camp. Lights off, they showed up looking at the tent looking around and started yelling if anyone had lost a tent...The funny shit was how did a lost tent have a bunch of their gear in it... It was a old tent of Flatlander's and he didn't want it anymore. They ended up using it all week and I'm sure with a few stories on how or why a tent landing in camp......

Back in 2007 (the last year of Piss Clear) there's a few of us sitting in our small shade tent Sunday night a few hours before gate opens talking about the up-coming week. We hear a voice outside ask if he can join us, and in walks The Hat himself with a few others from the Bmorg. They pull up chairs, share some beers, chat with us for about half an hour or so, and then have to go get ready for the rush.

About 10 minutes after L.H. leaves, Adrian, the publisher of Piss Clear, comes back to the tent from some errands and discovers he's missed the first and only visit Larry ever made to our camp....

I think it was in 2005, we finally got off the playa on Wednesday after the event. It had been a hard struggle as it was hot as hell and not a breath of breeze, we had to load shit, haul it to Empire, unload it, and load it again into storage. And the shit was heavy.

We finally got to Reno and checked into a hotel. After we got in our rooms it was a mad race for the showers. We got cleaned up and decided to go downstairs for some food. We got in the elevator and it absolutely REEKED. I mean it is a wonder the paint wasn't peeling off the walls. We were all commenting on how bad it smelled and then someone happened to recall that this was the elevator we had used when we came up about 45 minutes before.

In 2009, Ibdave, Mrs. Dave and I were sitting in our camp openly making fun of the camp across from us that was made up of a couple who were wearing matching swim suites. The swim suits were tan/putty colored with green leaves covering the naughty bits. Right then the female of the camp picked up a 5 gallon bucket. This is where I said in a silly British accent, “I’m going to sit on this bucket and take a great big poop.â€
