mean reno

[playa_buddha]

BTW, did anyone see the "Reno 911" episode last night on Comedy Central with the cops all dressed up in playa clothes (or lack of clothes) to make a sting? Pretty lame, they were sitting in a diner that looks suspiciously like Sierra Sid's - way too clean for the playa, but the costumes suggest somebody on the show has actually been there - or at least surfed the BM web. My brother thinks this is where Burning Man has "jumped the shark"
But then again, what does he know? He's never been to BM.

Hobos need love too.

not too; more.

[aforceforgood]

With so much crazy and ridiculous stuff going on at BM, is it even possible for BM to "jump the shark"?

unless of course that's the name of the theme camp.

We'll be nice-n-friendly-off playa too, promise!

I don't know if it's right or wrong to mention that--but I would have LOVED to know this last year. We had a horrible nightmare, partially involving leaving our truck at the work ranch and then a $550 dollar tow to a random shop. The angry phone call from the propriator to pick it up because of Tania's sheer ugliness (his opinion only, she's a found art beauty) on top of the additional stresses of a five month drama and having to organize this with almost no money from the bay area. . . I hope that we have our baby in tip-top shape for the playa next burn, but I'm taking your name and number in case.

Good info can be pure gold.

not reno, but winnemucca.

in 1998 we pulled into winnemecca to gas up and water up for the dirt road stretch to the black rock city.

the gas station attendant asked:
"you guys going to burningman?"

we said "yup".

he says: "last year they pushed some guy in the fire there."......

we just laughed at the whole notion. and then replied:
"we thought they got 3 for the fire!"....


then the same town, but coming back.
we got the prime-rib-grade-"a"- eye-fuck from some fucking yeehaa cowboy all dressed in his *cboy* hat and shit kickers. --- and everything in between. (mainly bullshit). i mean, if we weren't cruising through winnemucca in a vehicle, he would have made his way across the street to *try* to kick some ass. complee and total dork.

being one of the only french living in Reno, b.m. was the only time I felt integrated in this country. Thanks so much the bm community!

being one of the only french living in Reno, b.m. was the only time I felt integrated in this country.

Why? Seriously. Do you think it has to do with Reno in generaal or the current bash-the-French mentality that's being driven in part by the current state of affairs here in the States. I'm curious.

[leBarbare]

bash-the-French mentality doesn't exist in Reno. It is Reno.

[JezebelinHell]

I bash on the French occasionally, but I bash on fucking everybody, so don't let it bother you.

[leBarbare]

I bash on the French .

how can you bash on french in reno? Please, next time, bash me harder

[JezebelinHell]

I've got nothing against the French, I just like to make fun of stuff. It's equal opportunity bashing, especially since I make fun of Americans more than anyone else.

[shitmouse]

i love frogs!

[leBarbare]

I asked you this because there's very few french in reno. So next time you see one, bash on him it will be me and I would recognize you !

[JezebelinHell]

Okay, but I don't usually bash on individual people. Just large groups. It's hard to be mean to someone when he has a cute little accent.

[leBarbare]

that's why I am never bashed!?
please bash on me next time...

not maso though
