I wouldn't know anything about that, not at all. I can't imagine anyone doing such a thing!

Admit nothing, deny everything, and look totally innocent. It works.

You go to Cirque Du Soleil and you're ONLY paying attention to the props and the costumes... "hey, those lamps would be PERFECT in the chill space!"... "oh my god, I could make those wings!"

Someone points out that when you say "and this one time, at Burning Man" sounds just like "and this one time, at band camp"!

You might be a Burnerd if...

Post by robbidobbs » Thu May 20, 2004 8:00 am

you scan thrift stores for animal/flame print anything.
you have camping gear mixed with your kitchen stuff.
you wear BM clothing preferencially, esp for "normal" activities.
you delay detailing your vehicle, cause the dirt has a homey feel to it.
you collect large jugs with twist tops, just in case.
you spend a few hours going through your *bin* of trinkets, and can't bear to throw anything away.
you note the debris when you go to a park, sometimes picking it up.
your friends roll their eyes when you talk about porta-potties...again.
I'll be in my blanket fort until further notice.

- you can remember the last and only time you didn't / couldn't take a dump for 3 days

- you get the 1000 yard stare without ever serving in vietnam

- you aspire to build your own personal BM effigy in yor back yard and then fear people are going to ask you if you if you were on monster house.

- you try riding your bike with yor eyes closed then have to make a trip up to the haight "free medical" for stitches...

You go to Cirque Du Soleil and start running when somebody lifts up a Bic lighter.

Anyways, a few years ago I thanked someone in my small town for wearing colored hair. "It helps us all" or something I mumbled.

I thought at the time sign "I am a burnerd!"
Then wondered if that event or another, perhaps
might have fomented my thirst for
integration with foreigners
moreso than this?

When you're relieved the bike you bought for $20 collapsed at 8 am after Burn Night because if it had lasted any longer, then you know you spent too much money.

When the week after BM, your sidewalk is adorned with fur-covered broken bikes and crap for the street people to take.

(in case you didnt guess, this is a true story)

When you're reading the eplaya at 11:15 am on a weekday as if it were the New York Times.

When the eplaya is your primary online news source.

When you trust a bunch of misfits like the people populating the eplaya for serious relationship advice.

You know you're a burnerd when the thrift store around the corner from your house saves all the stuff for your insepction "that we know nobody else would be interested in".
