you know you're burnier than thou

After the burn you check into the BW in Fernley and decide to do some laundry and grab a quick bite before hititng the hot tub and pool. In the laundry room you offer the use of your bottle of lemon juice to the lady that just walked in, during the rinse cycle you offer to share your pizza with the desk clerk.

...both of them look at you like you have three heads.

somewhere around 130....you start humming the words "75 days and 75 nights" over and over to the tune of freddie fender's "Wasted days and wasted nights" and someone tells your singing it wrong and you punch them.

you begin to recognize and have personal relationships with JOTS after so many years, and possibly even name them.

When hippies are begging for free tickets to give to you so that they can shut up your snark.

"When hippies are begging for free tickets to give to you so that they can shut up your snark."

when you steal an idea from eplaya on how to monetize being an asshole via the internet.

when you automatically assume everybody you talk to knows what burnnigman is.

when you get enraged at someone who doesnt know youre burnier than thou as they patronize you telling you to just 'dont have expectations' and 'be yourself' at the burn.

You're too busy with multiple build projects to worry much about it.

when youre so in love with burning man principal #10 that you think losing all of the eplaya archives would be the burniest way to embrace immediacy possible.

When you go to hang up a fake video camera in the porta potties, and find one hanging the in there that you installed the year before. I was for the first time, truly speechless.

When you really do love all the eplayans, even the ones you hate.

you actually read the jack rabbit speaks in it's entirety AND you follow T. P***E on twitter.

I've got one for you.

This is someone that had a bad year and wasn't coming back, so technically not a burner anymore.

They went on eplaya to sell their ticket.
They actually needed the money too.

Seeing a post asking for a discounted or even free ticket, they asked a few questions and offered the ticket outright.

This was just in hope of someone having a better experience.

Hearing back that a ticket had just been purchased, they maintained the offer of a free ticket, in spite of needing the money themselves.

This person has rejoined the burner community.

Hell yes! This is actually something that Burning Man has helped me a lot with. Letting go. I've already had some larger, darker lessons in that, but I can always use more purposeful, celebratory examples. Beautiful things burn and disappear, and we don't have to like it, but we can accept it . . . at least a little.

When the mayor of one of the largest burner camps villages travels across the pond to meet you. and has to dress in his burner finery so you will recognise him.

Post by **Savannah** » Tue Jun 21, 2011 10:10 pm

When you plan out your JOTS usage based on your volunteer shifts.

(no hippies, and a fuck ton less people = nicer JOTS overall )
