Am I allowed to judge?

Post by graidawg » Mon Nov 02, 2015 6:30 pm

As a 5 year burner, who has been told since day 1 "you're doing it wrong " having been through rain dust storms and other stuff, also having been told I am now a "Vet" though. Not a jaded vet. I need to know am I allowed to judge other newer burners (or virgins) and tell them that they are indeed " doing it wrong "?

I thought it was like "Fuck ur day" and we all just said it regardless.

I suggest you get Liz to take you out for biscuits and gravy before you try it yourself and put HP sauce on Oreos!!!

You would be doing it wrong!!!!!!! 8)

I'd say the key, Grai, is you don't need permission, ergo, no one can deny you your pleasure of judgement.

Those of us who've been there more than 6 times have immunity from prosecution.
