I think they would make wonderful gift. What better way to say "I love you" than a nice luxurious place to drop a load. I can visualize a Hallmark card now. If there are still tokens available, I think everyone should get them. We all should be using the Happy Harvey Huts! It's only fair you know!

Well, JoshnCody were frequent posters, but this appears to be their final one.

Wonder why.

Apparently this person's idea of fun is to troll a message board for an event she doesn't like/understand, hijacking each threads she comments on to be about her and why she's not attending this year. Her responses mostly pray on newbies, as she's too chicken shit to take on somebody her own size.

Sad, isn't it?

Anyway, yeah, everybody's a newb and you'll have a fucking blast. The portapotties, to answer your original question, are fairly clean early in the week and go steadily downhill as the days go by.

They're constantly being cycled through by the pump trucks but the combination of wear-and-tear and sheer numbers usually means by Sunday you'll know which ones to avoid (the ones near the Man are used pretty heavily) and which ones are probably okay (the ones on the outer rings, low-foot traffic areas.)

That said, the BMorg does its best to keep the BM org'd, if you catch my meaning.

(plus, after a few days, frankly, you just get used to it.)
Irony. You're soaking in it.

Is it true that if you leave the Harvey Hut tokens out in the sun, or just soak them in the toilet, they soften up like bubble gum and can be used as rubbers?

I mean, the first part makes sense but why would you chew something that you just stuck in the toilet?

(Is it true that there's a chew-stuff-somebody-stuck-in-the-toilet camp?)

It doesn't matter whether you were stuck in a toilet. At Burning Man, someone will chew you. Guaranteed, if you want it.

Josh and Cody, where are you? What a great topic you started and what a cool way to welcome you to the Burning Man family. Once you get to the playa, you will see a large group of fun, welcoming people and you will understand why your topic was so important to everyone. This party in the desert is made up of all its participants. Unlike Disney World, this does not have a pre-set display for it's guests----we are the party. I hope you were not intimidated but this group and hope you are looking forward to your upcoming big adventure.

La.la, you may want to poke around the playazon site a bit. That site and 75% of eplaya posts need to be approached with a certain attitude. It is your adorable lack of that attitude that caused julie c. to get a stick up her ass. Ragabashpup's advice at the beginning of this thread is also key.

I am a virgin too, so I cannot really comment on the conditions of the port-o-lets.

There is absolutely nothing important in this thread but if it were important we've got your back.

About time someone besides the Burning Man staff / elites had private toilets available.

Otherwise you're risking all kinds of indignities.

On a serious note...

Aside from poopin on newsprint and tossin in a burn barrel anyone is welcome to bring their own toilet.

Pvt portas can be rented as well.. as I understand it they are delivered to a corner before the gates open and are placed on the corner u want. some kind of combo lock/key keeps it pvt.

United Services is happy to place o pooper right where you want it, and pump it as necessary. Just give em a call and you can poop away.

Or you can pick one up at any construction site, poop it full, and bring it back to them?
