If some one is so stupid they can't figure it out. "Just drop it on the pottie floor." The pot cleaners will toss it out onto the playa. Hopefuly I will spot it blowing around and pick it up. Will have a bag on my ""DMV approved"" scooter. Or it will go out to the trash fence. That's better than closeing down the pots. I will ask Dog to make a place in hell for the stupid.

Man, sometimes Unjon has a way of cutting through the shit... so to speak...

This reminds me of a cute story told to me my a JotS employee in 2002:
A plain looking dude with a beer can walked into a pottie. At the same time a Dominatrix in full regalia also stepped into one. The Dom came out first, and waited for the dude to come out. He did, but his beer can didn't. She made him feel really sad about leaving it in there.

When I'm out and about, I'm often carrying several things: butt-pack, water, radio, flashlight etc. I step inside, unload my gear, carefully laying it either on the adjacent plastic area, or on the floor (if reasonably clean), and do my business. Then I re-pack myself, and mosey on. I have yet to drop anything in, leave anything, or get anything mussed up (except for some soppiness on my pants. And if I'm wearing a full skirt, I get even more cautious (and slightly more soppy). No worries, it dries fast enough.

Bottom line: there is no excuse in MY mind about dropping things in, or leaving it behind except you are just moving too fast. So slow down & enjoy your excremental experience.

I see garbage all over the streets of San Francisco (and other cities), yet there seems to be a garbage can every 30 ft.

How about a giant spring inside each JOTS...when the garbage hits it, it is forceably rebounded upward into the person that dropped it in.

I loved this. Having been a victim of portapotties for decades (has it been decades?? Zounds!!) I learned *very* early on to have everything attached to a single hook point (a belt, for example) that could be easily removed, slung over a shoulder or hung somewhere (portapotties seem to have this collection of... stuff... ohn the floor!) and put back on after my excretory experience.

Doing remfaire it was a leather belt with everything snugged to it using laces. For BRC it's a mil-spec web belt and pouches. Or a buttpack.

That is... um... disgusting! What would tell the difference between detrius and excretius? Of course, the blue dye could become fashionable... >giggles<

One thing that irks the crap out of me is when I'm out on Poop Patrol, and I see people with a baby-wipe container under their arm. I *know* what their intentions are, as I don't see ziplocs with them generally.

What's worse is that after I spew forth about how
BABY WIPES DON'T GO IN THE PORTA-POTTIES
they just stare at me. I don't know if they're making a decision to not use them at this visit, or if they're going to blow me off.

As a community, I need everyone's help in educating about this issue. So if you see someone with a baby-wipe container under their arm, just mention that those nifty hygene items FUCK UP THE CLEANING EQUIPMENT.

Get loud and proud, baby.

CAn I take their picture and tell them that if the event is cancelled due to jots issues I'll post it on the web and 5,000 deranged burners will hunt them down and tie them on an ant hill?

I did! I saw a girl taking wipes into a potty and said, "Don't toss that in! It gums up the turd-burglars' hoses." She apparently had forgotten or hadn't thought about that and said, "Ooh! Thanks for reminding me."

I like it.

Hey, Fishy, are you still thinking of acquiring neon duct tape for the signs?
I live in a small town, and these kind of specialty items are hard to find.
I can reimburse you if necessary.

Thanks

You got a nice shout out in the summer newsletter they mailed out! Hope it does some good...

I got three colors but didn't save the reciept. I can get more. I'm finding them in shorter rolls, which kinda peeves me, but if I'm your best shot at same, then it's worth it.

I am planning a road trip to a larger city soon, and will as well look for neon duct tape. But whatever you can bring will be appreciated. I can always use the excess in subsequent years.
Thank you Fishie.
