Pooping Man wants YOU

Here's an idea for the young and old, the rich or poor, the single or groups: Adopt a Pottie Cluster!

In 2000 the BM Org was given written notice from the porta-pottie vendor Johnny on the Spot (JotS) and the regional sewage treatment plant, Truckee Meadows Water Reclamation. They had received so much trash- laden sewage from us, that it significantly slowed down their operations. The toilets overflowed, and they got pissed! They said that unless we made a serious effort to reduce the trash in the potties, they weren't going to renew their contract. What this boils down to is that we, the Citizenry of Black Rock City had to take responsibility for educating everyone about Excremental Correctness and keep the debris out of the crappers.

In 2001 the half-sheet signs went onto the pottie doors. These include poo-etry, hai-poos, sayings, slogans, quotations and witticisms, thought up by poopers like you. You remember..."If it wasn't in your body..."
In 2002 there were the Easter Island heads.
In 2003 we had an excellent year for shit. JotS gave us an "A". Many theme camps adopted their local cluster, did performance art, visual art, lighting, and other thoughtful activities to educate, entertain, and enlighten the poopulation about this very serious issue.

But we can't just park our butts on our laurels, Campers. More newbies enter our fair city every year, and they too must hear the wholly word of Pooping Man.

In 2004 I hope to expand on what we did last year. As you create your camp ideas, bring shit into your thoughts. What will you do with grey water and fetid meat? More importantly, what can YOU do to educate and improve the lives of fellow excreters?

I invite all concerned citizens to join the [email protected], so you can bounce your ideas off of people who thing WAY to much about shit.

This is a good (but slightly dated, though I'm sure it still applies) article on the potties

Great Link Chai. I never thought of the JOTS like that before!

Nobody likes a crappy pottie. If everyone contributes, then everyone wins!

Thank God this isn't a thread about The Mad Shitter™.

To comply with the Heavens/Interspatial motif, the JOTS could be grouped together somewhere on the deep open Playa, creating The Great Void. (I've always found VOID out of context to be amusing, as in "Void Where Prohibited"....I suppose that that's what the Mad Shitter was doing...)

No, s/he was into shitting on people's heads when they were passed out on the playa.

FYI: If anyone wants to accompany me around town and help educate people about proper pottie ettiquete, I plan on being at Medical Outpost Berlin (3:00 point) each morning around 8am.

The reason for the price of the ticket has more to do with our bad past performance with regards to the porta-potties. It does not mean that one can abuse them with impunity. It does not mean that you are free to throw your trash/grey water in them.

The reason that I am soliciting the help of other BM Participants (a catagorization you are obviously not dialed into) is because I want the Event to continue. Don't you?

If you do not feel that Burningman is worth continuing, then I invite you to spend Labor Day week in Reno, or an alternative vacation spot....NOT Burningman.
