Exclusion

Post by Mister Jellyfish Mister » Sun Sep 26, 2004 7:25 am

At one time, I said something that made little impact on the person I was talking to, but it planted my feet right where I stood:

"How can you feel excluded? This is the Island of Misfit Toys!"

esplanade robot says early sunday: " i just got here, did they burn the man yet"?

crowd responds in all manner of heart-feltness : "yes robot, we're sorry"

that and the robot crowds singing to, and being sung to, by the bot will echo in my brain eternally.

Looking back in journals from 1998 on I have collected a few gems. Here is my top ten list.

1. Guy in middle of playa by himself, looking at the ground, I ride by on bike and he screams, "Hey....have you seen my yellow lighter?"

2. Early morning in my tent I hear my campmate having loud and rowdy sex and then it gets quiet and I hear, "By the way my name is Bill."

3. Spaz from Gigsville in the middle of the street yelling at anyone riding a bike, "you're going the wrong way god damit."

4. In the JOTS and suddenly I hear, "For fuck sake Ryan you can either stay in there all night tripping or you can get your etard ass out here and take me dancing. I did not sign up to be your potty girlfriend of the playa."

5. Guy laying on road near JOTS...."Dude...DUUUUUDDDDE....(to no one in particular).....DUDE.....Dude....(and then it got quiet and then....) Fuck I think I lost my bounderies."

6. Stooopppid Yahoo who stopped by my bar. "I just got back from Sturgis and the bitches were lining up to take it in the ass." By the way after this little gem I used a campmates airhorn and 'horned' him out of my camp. Amazing what an airhorn used on a drunks eardrum will motivate them to move on down the road.

7. Young yahooette wearing bikini and nikes...."I am so fucking pissed that he keeps looking at all the naked whores."

8. Dirty Santa said directly to me after learning that I was a dyke. "You dont look like one of those ball breaking dykes....you know I could probably show you a thing or two about eating a pussy." I asked him if he would mind me trying to learn how to be one of the 'ball breaking dykes."

9. Getting off the U.S.S. Nevada....burner girl screams up the ladder, "Mom...can you help dad get down the ladder I think he is just way to fucked up."

10. Crusty looking vet to clean as a whistle weekend warrior at the Man 2001....."Listen I swear I am Larry Harvey's personal assistant. I have worked for him for 10 years. Every year he gives me 150 backstage passes for virgins to feel more comfortable. All you have to do is trade me something and you get this laminated pass. ( I stay and watch...) Etard, "Dude look all I have is this (shows some kind of pill). Vet, "Weeelllll....ok normally I dont take drugs, but you look very enthusiastic...Larry would love you....I tell you what I will take it and if I like it you get the pass. Where are you camped? I will drop off the pass and I will try and get Larry to autograph it for you." etard, "Cool...(gives pill over)...dude do you think if I found some more you could get a pass for my friend he is a virgin too?" Vet, "sure no prob man." Vet sees me watching as kid rolls on out....."performance art or culling the herd you can take your pick." I walk up and give him a big kiss on the lips.

That was brilliant. Just for my own enjoyment, I picture that guy in a circus ring leader's top hat and coat.

Said to me: "Look at the moon!!"

Me: "That's not the moon," pointing to a large white glowing balloon in the air, "that is," pointing to the real moon about 6 inches to the right of the balloon.

I' loved that thing! It kept catching my perriferral vision and I would swing around to see "the moon" and it was like a prank I kept falling for. Like dating an ex-girlfriend.

One young redneck says to his friend... as the WALK their dirt bikes back to their camp followed by a BLM ranger in his pickup:

"Dude, I knew we should have tied the deer horns to the handle bars."
