Now wait just a second...which Badger is the official Badger? Is it capjbadger or Isotopia's sidekick? That one is a Black Rock Ranger after all...wouldn't that make him the "official" Badger on here too?

Hmmm... good question. How long has he been a "Badger"? Does being a Ranger really matter? Are some Badgers more equal that others?

Dome fight! Dome fight!

Badger...as in Iso's sidekick for lack of a better description is one of the original eplayans. And he has lots of connections inside the ORG...when he speaks a lot of people listen and listen carefully. So at least IMHO he does come out as the top "Badger" around these parts. He's got the attitude to back it up too...

As for the dome fight I've had a running spat with him for years now. If you think you've got first shot at him in a Thunderdome challenge....sorry pal, you gotta step back behind me. I'm the first in line...at least as far as eplayans are concerned.

Rule No # 15. All Drawing and Quartering will be done over paper towels to prevent bloodmoop.

At least as far as Eplaya badgers are concerned, Join Date pretty much settles which is "Badger" and which is "The other Badger."

I have no spat with him. You can fight him all you want in the dome.

Ahhh.. so we are speaking of an offical eplaya Badger, not just Badgers in general.

I kinda got the impression that Badger the Elder had pretty much left these parts for the "other white BBS" as of late...

Either way, don't care.
Been Badger. Am Badger. Will be Badger. All else is moot.

Rule 17: For the purposes of this thread only, current and former residents of Wisconsin are not Badgers and need not shave or bathe if they so choose.

theCryptofishist · Post by **theCryptofishist** » Thu Jun 29, 2006 10:49 am

Rule # 18: All Wisconsinites who choose not to bath or shave may be made into polish sausage.

Bin Noddin · Post by **Bin Noddin** » Thu Jun 29, 2006 11:00 am

note to self: avoid kielbasa Sheboygan sausage still ok

theCryptofishist · Post by **theCryptofishist** » Thu Jun 29, 2006 11:06 am

You know, Bin, my collage boyfriend (the one glued together from old magazines) was from Waukesha. He had friends in some bottom of the barrel playing in bowling alleys punk rock band that had a song that went
"You must be from Cudahey
I can tell by the smell."
As you can see, not setting the world on fire. Yet somehow bad Wisconsin sausage jokes seemed in order.

Kinetic IV · Post by **Kinetic IV** » Thu Jun 29, 2006 11:09 am

And then people wonder why I prefer bacon on the playa? You can keep those sausages.

capjbadger · Post by **capjbadger** » Thu Jun 29, 2006 11:12 am

Rule 19: Bacon (pork, turkey or otherwise) is the offical meat of Burning Man.

Yum...

theCryptofishist · Post by **theCryptofishist** » Thu Jun 29, 2006 11:14 am

Rule 42 (the Oldest Rule in the Book): Everything not forbidden is compulsary.

I remember that smell - from back when Oscar Meyer still did the whole process on the east side of Madison - from live pigs to hot dogs. It was a decent living for a lot of people, though. Coincidentally, our next door neighbor here in the suburbs of Washington is the daughter of an Oscar's retiree. I even talked to the actual Oscar on the phone once. I was an office clerk, putting through a call from Oscar, who had visited Indonesia, and wanted to talk to my boss about a forestry scheme there.

How long has he been a "Badger"? Does being a Ranger really matter? Are some Badgers more equal that others?

The Rangering part really doesn't matter. My Ranger radio handle has been Badger since I first started Rangering back in 1998. I took 'Badger' as my nom de playa almost fourteen years ago when I first went to the event.

Badger the Elder it is then.

Only Badger 10 years for me. Got stuck with it back when I started working Ren Faires and my real name very quickly got lost in the shuffle. Hell, more people know me by Badger then know my real name. *chuckle*

Hell... I like being the guy behind the throne anyway...

Rule 16: Asserts its own logical place in order between Rule 15.1 and Rule 17 and; declares all Badgers to be one and the same.

We're now excused from the Dalmuti game? (yes!)

Kinetic IV · Post by **Kinetic IV** » Thu Jun 29, 2006 11:53 am

Anything put out by Wizards of the Coast I avoid as their products turn into money pits. I never liked D&D, I think I'll pass on any of their card games.

theCryptofishist · Post by **theCryptofishist** » Thu Jun 29, 2006 11:56 am

Rule #20: At no time shall this thread be called "8(+) Simple Rules to Burn my Man."

Rule #20.1: At no time shall the theme song of this thread be "I'm Gonna Burn My Man" in a bad Lou Reed voice.

Dalmuti is not forbidden. See rule #42

Thankfully Damuti is not a money pit. It's like buying a Uno deck. One time spending.

Rule #21: Any rule that is not recited 3 times dialy, meditated over, written backwards on fine scented parchment and then eaten at midnight; shall lose its place in the heirarchy of rules and be bumped down to the position of rule # 40.

Wahoo! As it turns out I used to work at Wizards and the Great Dalmuti was one of the games I was responsible for, back in the day. I can tell stories about the early versions of the game, and others, and wear a funny hat.

Thanks for the delayed glow of player enjoyment. :)
