We have a tradition of screaming "Get out of my fucking camp you e-dosin' hippie motherfucker" around 3:00 AM daily at camp Ubercarney.

I like to think of those moments when the newbies get going on the whole "spirit of burningman" discussion. Call me jaded but I'm not sure I get the whole kinder gentler burn.

Up front disclaimer: From a Bman newbie who's otherwise a jaded oldtimer, here are a few t-shirt ideas that, ideally, would leave a few people walking away scratching their heads thinkin' "Huh?"
Lydia Love wrote:oh shit, I may have to have a "spectator" shirt too...
How about one that says "Spectator" on the front and "Participant" on the back? Maybe throw in "Official" or "Authorized" on each side?

I'd also wear one that said, "I'm just here for the party!" on the front and "I'm just here for the art!" on the back.
...but it seemed like such a good idea at the time...

On your front/back theme, how about

Front: DICK
Back: ASSHOLE

- especially if you wear it without pants -

I've always wanted to make black t-shirts and print in black ink "give me all of your money", then in white ink, at the bottom, in very small print "(copywrite symbol) Subliminal Incorporated".

Great idea! Hell, what do I even need a t-shirt for though? Expanding on your idea, I think I'll just take a sharpie and label the appropriate body parts.
