How does BRB desire their articles to change the event/participants? Are their bins of article expectation? Who decides? Inquiring minds would like to know!

Dear Eric
Is it actually possible to prevent East Coasters to stop making inane earthquake remarks? Can you, in your deep wisdom find a way to show them how lazy and stupid those comments are? Or do we hear that shit forever?

I'll pour you some whiskey for that cough.

Beer is fine, for people with less refined palates.

Define too frequent.

"Too frequent": still have one & you've run out of people with energy to still get fucked. This is why god invented Grindr/ Tindr

Simon of the Playa wrote:eric, what is the necessary Richter Scale reading needed to liquify the playa?

I suggest bringing a Richter Scale so we can find out.

There are multiple, depending on what aspect of "a teenager again" you wish to experience.

No, you lucky. Me Eric.

goathead wrote:Single malt scotches, personal tastes change with the season's, or have you found a favorite and that is it?

Anyone who limits themselves to one flavor of anything is undoubtedly a smug twit with minimal social skills who probably drinks a (*blech*) blended scotch. Their house is done in shades of white, beige, & black, and they are mourning the demise of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.

You're on the playa maybe 10 days. If stainless could corrode in 10 days out there, we'd all be dead.

goathead wrote:I would jump in here and tell them their kegs will be ok, but this is your thread, and out of deep respect for you I will not.

You're finally learning.

Fuck if I know how that rag wants anything. You're free to ask me about how the BRC Weekly wants things at any time.

Is it actually possible to prevent coastal Californian's to stop making inane snow remarks? Because both will happen about the same time, and I shall long have returned to the stars from whence I came by the time that happens.

Simon of the Playa wrote:6.9

That's a fuckable size, but I'm not sure why you're randomly sharing it. Seeing as I have a thing for skinny guys, I'll bet over. All that energy not wasted on body fat has to go to making something big...

chuckularone wrote:Eric? Where are you? Your replies on this thread are among my favorite things to read on this site. Why, oh why have you forsaken us?

I was either drunk, or I wasn't. Sometimes not even I know which state is better.

Dear Eric
Has Piss Clear Black Rock Weekly published the slang term "mani-festy" for ticket hunters who have spent extensive time at music festivals?

Translation: Did I just invent a term that could get me published, or is my brain trying to trick me into thinking that some dried out piece of argot is hot, fresh slang?

Your question disappoints me. No true man of style would ever base their wardrobe on "nature". Wool coats in the summer, stilettos on the beach, shorts and leg warmers during mosquito infestations. Don't be weak.

a) No we have not.
b) Too late, we've already gone to press.
c) yes, or no. I'd use my Magic 8 Ball, but he's at work.

Yes.

If it was any of your business you'd know where it was. People always have the hardest time with the most obvious names.

I have already forgotten it, because my brain, though magnificent, is rather self-focused. I do tend to only pay attention to the important things, like myself. You are, however, free to PM me a reminder of your bit next July when we are closer to going to press.

It means they have absolutely nothing of value to add to the conversation, but insist that they be recognized as part of it - they are implying that a post is undeserving of a response by giving it a response. Basically it's the act of a two-year old interrupting adults having a conversation.

Eric, Would it be OK if I totally whiffed on all responsibility and attended next year's burn as a tourist? No hauling stupid art. No ambitious gifting. Only self-serving volunteer work. In other words, 'enjoy my vacation'.

Yes.
You are absolved of responsibility at the Burn for as long as you would like. If you never feel like picking those responsibilities up again then they'll either get done by someone else, or will turn out to not have needed to be done in the first place.

Yes, to be hand delivered by The Hat™ as he wears a Dolly Parton wig while riding a big wheel.

They're not "extras". It's not like I can trust the servants to get their own and the RV doesn't clean itself.

One less than the number they desire, so there is always something to look forward to.
