Oh my goodness yes, and for the wonderful folks at the wastewater treatment plant who handle all that mess for us.

TPBM got lost at the grocery store today, looking at all the wrong things. :?

not today, but I think I know the feeling. Now I should be looking at fresh dairy, fruit, and veggies, yet still gravitate towards the dollar a can soup. I use the excuse of "re-stocking my earthquake supplies" which is my code for Burning man non-perishables, and so can stealthily put up supplies for burning man potlucks. I would like to have every dinner next year at a potluck. It can roam, it can grow... the trike with a potluck module I can add to it: single burner stove for hot soup, or pasta, and coffee, plus a folding table and chairs. hmmmm. What would the largest pot luck dinner in the world look like? I did vow to start making things NOW. (meaning finishing what I wanted to have done two weeks ago.)

tpbm had a playa dream last night.

Ah, sleeping on an air mattress while the bar blared music ten feet away.
TPBM is going to hunt down the people with the Charlie the Unicorn MV and take away their sparkle for making such a lame piece of art. And for asking the people on eplaya to pay for it.

Nope. Art is subjective. Somebody found it artistic and worthwhile, and they seemed to be having a really good time on that silly vehicle so...

TPBM is working on next year's idea.

If by "working on" you mean "toying with" then yes. (It's something small this time.)

Oh yes I did, worst ever, never bothered me before but this year it hit hard. Vinegar and moisturizer didn't help at all...

TPBM went thru a profound RoP on playa and it will change them the rest of their life!

Ya know,,,, it just so happens I spaced out a dentist appointment Friday. Not a wonderment, but made it half hour late after his office called. I fully understand how people are late,,, and I'm generally quite punctual,,,, still on playa time i guess,,,,

I'm in SF- if it qualifies as a "food", I can find it here. I even saw ostrich eggs once (with the bits inside), but I have no idea how you'd fit it in a pickle jar.

If I had visions of costumes it would be mildly disturbing, because my mind doesn't work that way.

Edit to respond to Fishy's response (sigh...it didn't show me a new response for some reason)

Exodus was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. The boyfriend was the only one who had to use the pee bottle :wink: We got in line around 6:30am and were on the road about 5 hrs later. Luckily we were stopping in Reno for the night and got to the hotel just in time for check-in.

TPBM has started preparing and calling rental companies for next year's burn.

If cocaine were legal, would they sell it in little packages like Sweet N' Low? Would they call it Sweet N' High?
