Tag, you're it! Post your picture on a bulletin board (it can be at your camp, just to bring in the strange traffic) in categories:
Hit Me With A Boffer (provided), or
Hit Me With A Water Balloon, or
Surprise Me With A Beer.

Not really Dangerous as such, maybe better off in the Brainstorm column.

I think what lent the Dangerous Feeling to early burns was the sense that you didn't know what was about to happen, and that true anarchy was on the loose.

Maybe another category for the above would be Do Something Really Weird and Unexpected To Me.

i think everyone on the eplaya should be made an instant target for playa tag at the event...if any one of us sees another one of us out there (preferably without being seen) you MUST do something random/scary/surprising/fucked up to them immediately.

suggestions:

tickling
taping a note on their back - preferably relevant to their e-personality.
give them a drink
dump a drink on them
hug them
drug them
abduct them for a playa adventure/tie them up and take them to eplaya camp
make them sing a song of your choice *really* loud

And you just HAD to make sing MacArthur Park! OK, here goes

Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed
In love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground .......

AARROOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Tisha, you're evil!

- Scare the FUCK out of them. I'd be into that.
- Abduct to their camp and make them Emperor/Empress of the Playa for a day, then dump them.

Can I ask to be exempt from the scary stuff? A friendly abduction that takes me to ePlaya camp (prob AKA home base) would be fine... but leave the scary stuff for my second year :)

Now, SONGS... if you tackle me and ask me for a song, and I get to choose, it will be something frog related! I could teach a half-hour swim lesson, all based on frog activities :) I also do a reasonable job of both the Canadian and American national anthems.. and some show tunes...

:)

I think that we're seguing from HtMBMMD into an brainstorm for a Theme Camp, where (?) participants would post their picture and possibly location under certain requests, ie Scare Me, Throw Cold Water On Me, Bring Me A Beer, I Will Sing For You...

Although.... you could post someone else's picture there if you wanted to be naughty.

Air pistols--you get to decide how many pumps to give whoever you're shooting. Everyone gets 'em so paybacks will abound.
