Pre placment P.E.T.T.A. nightmear?

Post by hunter S » Sun Jul 13, 2008 9:43 am

Your camp is placed, built, rebar pounded, camp mates notified of your address! Then P.E.T.T.A moves in next door, they set up the same old sound/projection equipment that will play the same loop of animals being slaughtered ect. Day & night for a week! By Monday you will all be clucking like chickens and moo-ing like cows.
Objects behind you may appeare larger than reality!

I would bet that placement puts the People for the Eating of Tasty Animals next to the other Petaphiles.

Take your 2 million candle power spotlight(the one you bought at Val-Vart), mount it up high and aim it at thier screen.... If you can, get a few additional red and green lasers and aim those at it too..... Be ready to change their location as they will try to block the lights eventually. I love the "No Rules"(besides a few) policy at BM! :lol:

If you can stand it, you could play that loop tape I play at christmas of Jingle bells by dogs barking.
There are songs by cats too.
It seems to wear on the neighbors.

Cook a bunch of bacon. Mmmm...bacon. The gateway meat.

This is, by the way, 100% guaranteed to piss them off based on experience at a campground next to a Phish concert.

[ ] Ask your pre-placement goddess to relocate you?

[ ] Be polite & ask them not to do their shtick day & night?

[ ] Pull a Paul Addis on them?

[x] Drive to Ralley's in Reno and ask the butcher for every bag of meat scrps and offal they
have. Drive back to BRC and periodically toss pieces on/in/around/on top
of every portion of their camp.

[x] Wear your new skirt steak utilikilt. Don't change it during the event. Be
sure to offer your neighbors unsolicited hugs.

[x] (1) card table (4) folding chairs a small hibachi grill (1) small generator
and (1) variable speed room fan. Invite your three friends over to your
barbecue and tempt your neighbors with the wafting smoke blowing
from your direction.

[x] Hook up that 1000 Watt stereo system to that pair of Klipsch
La Scala speakers and play Barbara Streisand's album Yentil
on a loop at 16 rpm. Extra points if you can figure out a way to play it
backwards.

[x] Set up a clothesline so that you can wash your meat and hang it out to
dry - for the duration of the event.

[x] Convert the clothesline into a bad mitten net. If you've forgotten your
shuttlecocks remember that raw liver works in a pinch. Enjoy your game!

[x] Wait until around 4:30 am to fill their Sun Shower with pig's blood.

[x] Gift them your grey water along with your dirty shorts, filthy
socks and used condom collection. Start with placing these
randomly in sleeping bags as well as in and under camp pillows.
If they should take offense remind them that "it's ALL good."

Hope this helps...

I was next to Yodel Camp one year. That yodeling tape starts super early in the morning and I was ready to lose my freakin mind by Tuesday. By Thursday I was actually enjoying it and when it didn't play on Monday I kinda missed it.

That being said: throw bacon at them.

throwing bacon. you're brilliant!!
It's a multi function attack platform.......
if someone builds a Minaret next door and does the 5 times a day singing and prayer, or, any other group that avoids the "cloven hoof" thing, it'd work on them, too........

Thanks for the reminder. I'm bringing a bunch of Slayer just in case something happens like that. At my last burn we had some people next to us that tried to set up a little greatest-dance-club-hits-of-the-80s camp. They had, like, one compilation CD on autorepeat, so every 55 minutes for four days you could count on hearing Tone Loc and "Pump Up The Jam."

By Friday I wanted to smash all their shit, but they were SO damned friendly, and mostly virgin burners.

The "Slaughter Screen" as we called it were our next door neighbors in '06. The guy (I think his name is Eric?) was very, very nice. Yes, none of us were thrilled to say the least about the video looping every night. But when our neighbors on the other side got really upset about having to see chickens sans beaks over and over, he actually strung up a sheet to block their view. Very cool. What did we do? We pulled up our stoves to the front of the screen and had a massive all meat BBQ. Dinner and a Mooovie. And they laughed. No joke. I hope they weren't actually offended as it was all in good fun. They didn't seem to be... anyway, then our cook burned himself with grease and had to go to the med tent, and then they REALLY laughed. We learned that day you don't taunt vegans with sausage. We were running low on water come monday and were there for another day or two breaking down, so they gave us all the extra water they had. Again, very cool. Was the film a nightly buzz kill? Yeah. But were they okay people? Absolutely. All in all I got no beef with them. Heehee. :twisted:
