Does anyone else find themselves yelling "Burning Man" for no reason at the oddest times? It just kinda pops out!

BAS · Post by **BAS** » Thu Jun 11, 2009 10:59 am

I dunno-- I haven't been listening to myself lately...

Yes As a matter of fact I do Just yell Buringman once in a WHile!! And when I'm in Black Rock City - I find myself Yelling I LOVE THIS CITY quite often also~ Do you think it's part of the Addiction??

[quote="dustforlife"]Does anyone else out there think about Burningman every day? I am obsessed with itâ€¦not complaining, mind you, but definitely wondering if there is something wrong with me? So many things in my everyday life I recognize as â€œcoolâ€

until your selling crack to get back to the playa I dont think your in addiction territory

it's better than begging for a ticket, toots...judge not.

I answered yes to more than two questions. The "lottery/what I'd bring to burning man" connection pretty much puts the seal on that case.

yes, I use the company graph paper to design my tent/space layout. Of course, on the clock... I think of it as upcycling my time.

Thrift store shopping during a visit to San Francisco in December; paying for a pile of interesting clothing.
Clerk:" Shopping for Burning Man?"
Us: " Aren't we always?"
Clerk:*big grin*

Any time we have a party at our house, inevitably, at some point in the evening, the planning meetings begin among the burners, and everyone else rolls their eyes, like, "here we go again". I never thought endless debate about shower structures, solar capacity, and evaporation ponds could be so damn INTERESTING. And, apparently, it's not, if you're not addicted. Maybe that's how you tell.

New job and new commute. After doing the math, found that I can't go this year. Ticket is sold. And all of this is making me a lot sadder than I thought it would. WTF?

Is "upcycling" the new "multi-tasking" or something? (I got to keep up on what to call sneaking in personal stuff on employer time!

)

some folks wonder why employers get cynical and suspicious.......

"Up-cycling is certainly a shiney new buzzword in the tradition of "synergy", but it denotes using an object, or its componant materials, as something better than simply recycling something.

Ah! So it is different! One can both multi-task and upcycle! Cool!

Come on, ygmir, you certainly must have known I was joking...?! I, of course, always save my personal stuff for my breaks!

giggle....of course

it's not so much that I'm against a little screwing off on the job......but, I've been on both sides of that fence.....it's amazing how many people take advantage of employers that way, and, then, wonder why said boss is cranky.........

which, is why BM is such a wonderful event (back on subject)
we can totally screw off.....and, not on the backs (usually) of others......

skygnome777 · Post by **skygnome777** » Fri Jul 17, 2009 7:56 pm

I will be going to burning man for the first time this year and I am obsessed.
I keep reading the eplaya and watching videos online and exercising so I don't look as bad in shorts and potentially shirtless.

But it might be redirection because my career plans have been delayed another year and I'm really dying for some adventure.

Post by **AntiM** » Sat Jul 18, 2009 8:46 am

Shorts? Oh no, darling, not shorts....

Post by **mdmf007** » Sat Jul 18, 2009 9:08 am

aw man, you leave the joke door open and not expect a swift foot?

i already posted it, like over 390 days ago on the spoonerism thread.

"Curt Shocker the Shirt Cocker"

that can be interpreted in at least 5, maybe 6 ways depending on how well you know Kultur.

7 if it's implies using a moyle....

and you thought i would spell it wrong now didn't you.

I was pretty damn sure that if you spelled it wrong that you would be able to justify it anyway.
