you know you're burnier than thou

when....

1. you try to de-moop Reno.

2. you send personal thank you notes to larry, crimson, lady b., harley, and will after the burn.

3.when you arrive at center camp at mid-day to get a coffee and a paper, you find out it's naked yoga hour, and you PARTICIPATE

4. you actually count and ration the one ply squares that you use in the porta-potties.

5. you carry around a sample of your urine and ask all of your campmates if they think it's clear enough.

6. you keep a running tally in your head of how many carbon footprint offset points you owe.

7. you've slept with bruno.

8. you have actually seriously considered joining planet X and just making pottery until next year because you just dont want to waste the gas schlepping the art car back and forth to Mountain View.

9. you attempt to make a far reaching and metaphysical statement about the the direction and philosophy of the burning man project by lighting him up a couple days early

10. you waste your time writing stupid ass lists that only a handful of freaks will appreciate.

Reno produces moop faster than it can be collected.

Bronos a dick most of the time,
Beth is way nicer.

11. you get a Capital One Credit Card personalized with a picture of "Phoenix Man" from 07' emblazoned in holographic glory across the face of it even though the A.P.R. sucks and you know they are screwing you on fees, but it's just so damn cool.

what's in YOUR ham wallet?

12. You are walking somewhere in the default world and suddenly stop in your tracks because something in the air smelled like playa....

13. You open up your burner shed for the first time this year, and the playa dust smells like "kamaSutra honey powder"to you...
...and you get lost in what you were SUPPOSE to be in there for!

14. You have a burner shed, and it doesn't even seem a tad peculiar.

15. You live in a burner shed.

16. You use the wood from your burner shed to build an effigy to burn.

Simon of the Playa · Post by **Simon of the Playa** » Mon Jun 09, 2008 11:20 am

17. In order to help pay for some of paul's legal fees you hire him to burn your effigy early.

he accidently burns the shed too.

You have a burner living in your burner shed, because you don't want him couch surfing.

you hold off on the boob job until AFTER critical tits.

A neighborhood cat got into one of my burner sheds and peed on my tent.

That's right, I have TWO burner sheds!

18. You know exactly which cars in the mall parking lot have been to BM... in March.

Tiahaar · Post by **Tiahaar** » Tue Jun 10, 2008 12:47 am

19...when you are within 2 steps of a playa project anywhere in your home...

20...when your 'burner shed' has wheels (and possibly an engine) and hasn't moved since its return from the last burn but has been visited and fussed over almost daily...

21...when you grunt and workout not for the summer swimsuit season but for the playa naked season...

22...when your 'Christmas lights' come out only in August

heheh now I'm dreaming of playadusty days sighhhhh

oh, you are so right, and a true afficiando can tell the difference between PlayaDust and common road salt with just ONE lick!

You get back from the playa... while unpacking RV....
you get hot and take off your shirt...
carry two FULL loads into house...
Before friend says something about you being topless...

gyre · Post by **gyre** » Tue Jun 10, 2008 11:40 am

That is funny!

I can't get used to the lack of nudity after the burn.
It just looks wrong somehow.

Okay I have to admit 21 is me. I plan to lose 12 lbs before August. Who the hell needs a swimsuit anyway.

23. You drive your mutant vehicle around town in June just to make sure it's ready to go.

24. Your mutant vehicle is actually road legal.

Simon of the Playa · Post by **Simon of the Playa** » Tue Jun 10, 2008 1:15 pm

25. your mutant vehicle is a hybrid.

you start thinking that the Chihuahuan desert of Big Bend is more desert than
Black Rock...well, it is.

27. You hang out on eplaya and know more about the event than anyone else, but never plan to attend.

(no, that isn't anyone specific)

Cough, cough, sneeze (bullshit!), cough, cough.

You may not have referred to anyone in particular but I sure as hell will. DVD, when will you grace the playa with your presence?

Oh, come on, don't be mean.

It ain't about being mean, I really wanna meet him! But with my luck he'll show up this year and I'll be stuck in Denver not able to make it. Right now it's going to take a miracle on several fronts to pull off a trip to BRC this year. Anyway back on topic...when I first read this thread I thought someone was going to mention Ladybee's apartment search that sparked a mini-firestorm over on Tribe...but I was wrong.

28. you have already purchased a ticket to NEXT years burn at FULL price and it was definately WAY better.

29. you paid cash.

I haven't even been yet and I am starting to wish that I had a burner shed.

30. You have so much playa stuff that it wouldn't fit in a shed, and besides it looks better dusty.

Barbie · Post by **Barbie** » Mon Jun 16, 2008 11:33 pm

Its never to early to figure out a Shed.

31. --- You strip naked and streak from the store all the way around the sheetrock plant and back when you stop in Empire.

32. --- You cook breakfast for the Greeters while waiting in line at the ticket gate at midnight.

33. --- You donate 1/2 of your liquor and food to DPW BEFORE you find your theme camp.
