Ohhhhh, naughty people. Be forewarned that that kind of behavior is most def. not tolerated at Burning Man, and if you are discovered, will be quarantined to a specific area of the city, placed in bondage, and periodically punished with a crop. We run a tight ship, no hanky panky will be tolerated, only business attire allowed, and you'll only be allowed to drink the special "kool-aid". And ya best be getting used to John Denver and the Carpenters music.

So, with that said, get ready to have a rip-roaring good time :P

LMAO

Most definately!


This is what I wonder most of time....NEWB's this is a question for you all....

When I was just a lil' B'irgin....I read...re-read and re-read times 52 the survival guide.....Then I popped on this crazy ass board, and Lurked for 2 MORE yrs trying to figure out how burners TICK.

Hahahaa...where'as I learned how to survive....I still dont know how burners tick...hahhaha


maybe becuase when I think I know....they go TOCK! And then that really fucks with my head....NOT!

Newb Peeps...This is a worth of info on here...but if you get your hackles all up in a panty raid, your gonna find yourself with a tampon coming out your nose!


Oh someone get me some antibiotics...the dayglo snot in my head is fucking with my circuitry~

No one 'fits in'. That's the whole point! You just are; and no one cares. (For the most part; but that's just MHO)

OH MY GOD LOL

the sarcasm was most definately not missed.. I am sure we would do fantasticly on the play.

now before you go labeling me a newb.. I am a newb to this board but not to smartassses. I have moderated 7 or 8 different boards.. I can joke and act like an ass with the best of them. I waited about two years to post on my first board.. missed out on a lot of fun.

so just sit back chill and I will do just fine.

and if there is one thing I dont do is fit in ;)

Red Light district is usually near d,e,f and 9:00. Various people who are part of or run camps of your vein are on this board. You'll run in to them as you keep up on the posts. I'm sure they will post up here too.

Oh Dog no!! He'll just pop up when you least expect it and when its all said and done, you'll be tilting your head to the side and whacking your ear with you palm, kinda like when you trying to get the water out from when you go swimming. Except this time, your just trying to get his words out before they start to set in and fester :P

98% of emergency medical personnel have admitted to at least once using defibrillators on someone purely for amusement.


No statistics on using them for sexual entertainment.

Im also a burning n00b, hoping to devote all abilities to be there for 2009!

question: tickets are currently 260$ or something as a presale:

a) when does presale end
b) what is the price during regular sale?

We had a cardiac patient we needed to monitor. My partner had forgotten to restock electrodes with the monitor. Now, you can monitor the rhythm with the paddles or hands-free pads. It is suggested that you advise the patient prior to placing the paddles on their chest what your gonna, and more importantly, NOT gonna do. It's also best not to hollar CLEAR!

:lol:

I had an uncle who once told someone he accidentally gave them poison, with much theatrics, and made them run around the building to "sweat the poison out".
