I think Steve Martin said it best!

Be courteous, kind and forgiving,
Be gentle and peaceful each day,
Be warm and human and grateful,
And have a good thing to say.

Be thoughtful and trustful and childlike,
Be witty and happy and wise,
Be honest and love all your neighbors,
Be obsequious, purple, and clairvoyant.

Be pompous, obese, and eat cactus,
Be dull, and boring, and omnipresent,
Criticize things you don't know about,
Be oblong and have your knees removed.

Be tasteless, rude, and offensive,
Live in a swamp and be three dimensional,
Put a live chicken in your underwear,
Get all excited and go to a yawning festival.

Put a live chicken in your underwear,
Go into a closet and suck eggs

fundamentally incapable of taking anything too seriously.

They're a little stringy, but Jamaican dry rub and a little ketchup to finish might help.

I second that.

Someone that has very little expectations of what the event is going to be like and yet, is completely prepared for anything usually wins well with me.

However, Moochers, bitchers and bitches that pee on the seat have another thing coming.

The best burners are those that bring me ice cream.

Lots of resinous oils for that "poppy" quality. And enough dryness so there's less smoke.

Anyone that brings me bacon, wine, cold beer, and mushrooms is, by deffinition, a Good Burner. So Goddamn it, come across with the loot, and I mean pronto!

werd. (except the mushrooms, gross)

These also make good burners:

Someone who respects other people and that realizes their definition of a "good burner" might not be the same as anyone else's?

Of course, my definition of a good burner is the only valid one. Your mileage may vary.

Wait... what?

There are no bad burners. Except those bastards in the camp next to me.

"B" is for the Bacon Wild and Free
"U" is for the underwear now gone
"R" is for the Reno that you Land in,
"N" is for the Nasty sex at dawn.
"E" is for the Ecstasy you swallow
and "R" is for the RV that you follow

put them all together they spell "BURNER",
and they're just like you and me.

that was so good of an answer i think it needs to be a thread in itself

When the Man lies upon the playa, so do you.
When the Man rises and stands upon the wasteland, so do you.
When the Man lights his neon lights, so do you.
When the Man burns, so do you.
Be the Man and you shall become the Perfect Burner my son.

Is that the sort of cryptic shit you were looking for?

I just wanna light shit on fire.

There's all these nekked people running around and sometimes you see them doing nasty stuff, so it helps if you're a pervert.

There's stuff burning up all over the place so it helps if you're a pyro.

I'm both so I'm in heaven one week a year.
