quit yer bitching and enjoy yourself

Post by Plastic G'zus » Sun Jul 15, 2007 10:46 pm

Come on. Arer you realy gonna let a handfull of shills ruin your Burn? I mean realy, I think inviting corporate sponsors was a bad idea, but come on. We the Burners are solid, even if we don't agree on much of anything. The presence of a few corpos isn't gonna harsh my good time. Treet them like any other virgins. Fuck their minds like you did to me and everybody else. Make them rethink their whole value structure like you did to me and everybody else. Tease, taunt, shock, burn and remake them, like you did to me and eveybody else. Yes, it was a bad idea on the part of the org, but I think We are bigger. Don't let this beautiful thing that we are doing go to shit because a few people MIGHT TRY to sway you toward their product. They can't manipulate you if You don't let them. The corps aren't as strong as We are. They ARE NOT a threat to us. YET. And if anybody tries to sell us something on the playa, we will, as a comunity, as someone put it, "heckle the fuck out of them and burn their shit to the ground."

I'm going to have a great time protesting; protest is a civic responsibility. Afterward, I will drink and there will be much rejoicing. And possibly some passing out. Rinse and repeat.
Thanks to Addis, I had more free time.

existentialist malaise

Post by Mister Jellyfish Mister » Mon Jul 16, 2007 7:50 am

Me likey! What if all the corps got together to compare notes and spreadsheets after the burn. I can see it now...

"The real losses appear to be in the flat-lined production of the employees we sent out there. How can we again risk the kind of sloth and existentialist malaise that our valued talent has 'decompressed' into?"

to place their products right under the man is blasphemy. It should have been placed in the center camp or right next to Larry's trailers that would have been better. Not under the man.

if anyone walks up to me to hand me a brochure or anything has a corp logo on it will get a cream pie in the face or my water bottle might accidently spill something on their very expensive Art Project!

So they better be as discreet as the rest of us had to be for all these years.

Naw... none of this will ruin my burn. I think its important to talk about it all at the moment, but I'm fully intending to drop all this baggage once I point my truck west and go have one of the most fun burns I've ever had.

This year will be a good year.

I mean really... starting off the week with an eclipse and Space docking Party?!?!

Only a terrific time could start off in such a way.

Wow, I really said that?

I had just woke up!

Cream Pies, Yes!

Spilling stuff on people's art projects, NO!

I might do a spoof and set it right next to the Man. Like one of those google/ BM logos with the head of the Man cut out so people can put their face in it and have their picture taken.

Google Man 2007!

try gatorade. chock full of electrolytes = highly conductive. Contrary to popular belief, pure water isn't very conductive.

That's because it's quite rare to have pure water. As soon as you start to add impurities, it becomes a decent conductor. Tap water will conduct electricity.

If I only had a dollar for everytime I heard a line like that... Well... The Contraption would be better funded, at least.
