Fishys quotes are far more intelligent than mine. Far more...

It was the "it's not the redemption of the fallen world" quote and it was definitely outside of Dye with Dignity. Very early in the week, possibly even before the gates opened.

The camp I was with this year had some big lettered blocks placed out front. The day of the Man burn, Joe, my camp boss, spelled out “Man Burn Delayed”. Countless people would stop by and ask. Even after changing the blocks, they would stop and inquire about what they had read earlier. People were getting their information off of giant childrens blocks. Joe told them that “the burn is delayed because the motor needed to raise one of the arms is broke. It’s a lawn mower motor. They sent to Reno for a replacement. The delivery guy was popped for speeding on the way up, though, and arrested. The police will only accept cash as bail. Another courier is now on the way from SF with the bail money….” And so on. Person after person believing that, relaying it to others. Hilarious, until I started to recall a few years back debating about whether we should bug out earlier due to the Man burn being delayed…according to some blocks we had read on the street…..

Funny, someone posted that same flyer on my mountain lion.
Bri? Did you lose another dog?

While you all were gone, we had a guy proposing he'd drive up without a ticket, and he had different methods for getting/sneaking in. Obviously a virgin, and after shooting down his BS with facts and warnings, he seemed to still be thinking of attempting it, then,

That was the year that exodus started getting easier.

On of my funniest with the blocks was FREE WIFI. Every other person that walked by would pull out their phone, fumble around for a minute or two and then come into camp and ask us how to connect. It got tedious, fast. The blocks are heavy and since it was hot we just changed it to "NO FREE WIFI" but they still kept asking. "C'mon Dude, everything at Burning Man is free" We eventually just told the truth- the free wifi was at The Last Bar on Earth near the trash fence at Point 3....

I had to pee during the Rocky Horror Picture Show but held it for way too long because I didn't want to leave. Finally I realized I'd better get to the portos quick. I was fumbling around with my costume and doing the pee-dance when I looked at the urinal... someone had drawn fangs on the upper part and a tongue on the lower, pee-splattered part. The bolts at the top became eyes. A word balloon above that said "I AM A SNAKE" completed the illusion. I very narrowly avoided pissing myself with laughter and I'll never look at those urinals the same way again.

I have peed into that very snake's mouth while reading the word balloon and trying not to laugh.
