I know you have history, and there may still be unresolved issues, but please don't bring it on the rest of us. I'm not going to defend either of you, hell I don't even really know what the deal is, I just know it sucks to see it. No, you're not going to get banned or reprimanded, but I ask on [what I believe is] behalf of the community that you both knock it off and go to bed without dinner.

If you must fight, do it in person, on the playa, in Thunderdome.

Pleeeeeeeeaaase?

~Spanky

I heartily second this.

Yumpin’ Yiminie, Yellyfish!!!

The mini-man is looking fantastic!

Thanks kitty, you too Miss Nev. Kernul Killbuck is walking around in the mini-movie and he was in bliss. His artistry and vision are something you will love to be around, and just think... he's building a theme camp this year! (Apokiliptika).

It's still my goal to be the known as the wierdest dad in the neighborhood. I warned the family next door so they were not too shocked when the head started strobing through their upstairs window. MiniMan alert!

There was a moment before hand, I think when we were re-attaching the arms and head and firing up the lighting. We were beacons of glee! Leaping around him! "Look! Wow! Hey!" A very playa moment on a suburban driveway. Thanks for letting me share.

I'm completely ignorant when it comes to this avatar thingy (as you can see) so is there someone who could help me with mine? (I've tried to resize it and just can't get it right).

If you can help I promise to pay a visit to your camp with a full chai cart next year (and I'm working on a surprise for this year that I think people will love). Please PM with your email and I can send you the file that I would like to use for my avatar. Thank you soooo much!

I think it's time to LIGHT THIS CANDLE(or fuse) and get some new topics and turn us loose. hmmmmmmmmmmmm?

Tancorix · Post by **Tancorix** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 6:39 pm

As requested the signature lines are cleaned up...like who's going to say no to anything GE weighs in on? Not me.

If anyone has concerns about something I've said, my PM box is wide open. Confront me directly, or please leave me alone so I can can contribute here without being on the defensive.

P.S. Spanky, you really deserve public praise for a job well done. I grumbled about how long the board was down but I like the changes. It's great to have the board back.

Thought I'd point out a news story...I'd post it to "Yasir Arafat Dies" but it's not available!!!

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=s ... ed_lawsuit

My first thought was, "Don't sue Caterpillar, sue the damn Israeli army!" but then I read the story. Go for it!

What the heck are we gonna do in the remaining 160 +/- days until we start heading toward the PLAYA? hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Sunday I am going to work on a windmill. Half scale. We won a grant from the BORG!

Still not clear if I will make it out to the playa, but the signs are somewhat hopeful.

helitack · Post by **helitack** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 7:46 pm

Does the windmill spit fire? I ordered my new tent, some camo netting, stuff for the bar, speaking of Kantina, here's another Carlings, shit, it's empty, all I got is PBR.

Wind_Borne · Post by **Wind_Borne** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 7:48 pm

Diane O'Thirst,

Its probably easier to get money out of Caterpillar -- which is probably the real motivation behind the suit.

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 7:49 pm

PBR is what I LIVED on last year.

The windmills will be Don Quixote style. 3 in all. They will spin in the wind for a few days. Be a repository for art (maybe). Certainly a place to leave personal demons. Then they will be charged by Don and his flaming lance!!!

helitack · Post by **helitack** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 7:55 pm

Nice! Save yer empties for refund to get your ticket. I think it's time for a separate "Wild Monkey" or some such thread. hmmmmm?

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 7:59 pm

More power to you, if you can start the thread, do it!

Heli, I read today that Death Valley was all in bloom owing to all the rain this year. How's it look to you?

DougalDutch gave me an el wire sculpture that would make a great ashtray for The Bar:

Will it clash with our neo-stallinist-chic?

helitack · Post by **helitack** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 8:26 pm

Perfect! It is the Apokiliptik Vortex on a small scale. Yep, bring it.

Soon the construction will begin on the inspection station. I just picked up my speakers so now we will be guaranteed to have speakers and just need power. I am going to make my home despot trip real soon. I think the wife is going to attend with me so I need to get her ticket secured. It is also outdoor season here in Portland so things are going to start getting busy.

Spanky, I'd rise to that one.

I heard form a friend of mine in Portland the other day. They were transplanting stuff into the back yard. Shorts, sandles, and 70 degrees.

Nice...

I just wanted to say "hi" to everyone. I've missed you guys and gals! Now, I've just got to go find a better job so I can get my ass out to TTITD this year to meet all of you.

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 9:23 pm

You'd better be there...

You must find a way!!!

blueniteowl · Post by **blueniteowl** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 9:27 pm

I'm trying, really I am.

Just need to find a job that pays more than eight bucks an hour.

Oh, and *smooches* Mr. Noir, just cause. Need a lap to snuggle on for a while?
