New Rules of Burning Man
Oh yes...rules make fun more fun. This thread is for everyone who thinks they know how to make it better, as in:
New Rule : the words "they should..." cannot be uttered by anyone who calls themself a Burner unless followed by the phrase "I'm gonna volunteer to try and make that happen.
And............GO!

They should disperse the sparkle ponies. I am going to volunteer to walk in the middle of a group/herd/pack (whatever) of sparkle ponies and let out a couple good loud stinky farts. That will show them who's boss....

They should schedule a day and have sort of a reverse version of Sadie Hawkins day where husbands and boyfriends get to do absolutely anything and everything they want to do all day.

Re: New Rules of Burning Man
- They should make it a requirement to host a Kickstarter for all projects, and for that matter, paying for trips to the burn.
- Instead of STEP next year, all spare tickets must go into a raffle system so the original purchaser can profit from selling his or her ticket back.
OHH... we were being sincere about rules.
Here's a new rule: Air raid sirens must be installed around BRC to warn of impending (and current) dust storms. It'll add to the whole atmosphere of the apocalypse.

Re: New Rules of Burning Man
They Should... Ban all "participants" who think they have got it all right, down pat and know everything and I will volunteer to go around with a cattle prod tazing every one that I hear exclaiming....."Your'e doing it wrong!" "Fucking Tourist." And... "Burning man was soo much better when...." This especially includes people standing in the street mindlessly giving negative criticism to no one in general.
If it didn't come from your body it doesn't go in the potty!!!!!! The exception is One ply RV/Septic Type TP only. No Baby wipes of any kind. Pack it in pack it out.
I've been looking for a inexpensive 220 volt air raid siren for 3 years

They should amend the "Leave no trace" principle to read "We will leave no trace except for the gigantic environmental impact of 10s of thousands of RVs, trucks, and cars driving here and the buttload of gas-powered generators running once here."

Re: New Rules of Burning Man
They should require all newbies, when they get set to ring the bell and roll around on the ground, to strip naked so they don't track playa dust back into their car or RV.
Re: New Rules of Burning Man
They should stop having Burning Man altogether because, according to every other post on e-playa, Burning Man is already over and will never be as good as that one year and the art isn't good anymore and the ticket thing is absurd/intentional/racist/corporate and the hippies and the shirtcockers and the soundcamps and the ravers and the BMORG and there are too many stupid virgins and frat boys who ruin everything. EVERYTHING!
I will attempt to counter this by sharing what I can with some virgins this year -- I will pay it forward, whatever "it" is, remembering that I, too, was once a virgin, and that some of this year's virgins are going to come back next year with the coolest fucking thing I have ever seen.
I will, further, forgive (and avoid) the crusty cranky veteran whose expectations about what Real Brand Burners do and do not do have made him incapable of embracing what is happening NOW.

Re: New Rules of Burning Man
All burners who off-handedly use italian to make a point must learn the difference between "duce" ("leader"--related to "duke", probably) and "dulce" ("sweet, candy") so people don't run up and down eplaya looking for a thread that isn't there.
I will make this happen by alternatedly rudely pointing at and mocking those who make the mistake, and gazing at everyone with big, puppy-dog eyes, so people will know how hurt I am...

It really was inconvenient when I dragged the dust back to the car. No other newbie should ever suffer what I suffered.

Re: New Rules of Burning Man
They should ban the sale of coffee and ice coffee .
I mean if this is about self reliance, why should someone have to make you your coffee?
