All About Participating in the Pottie Project

[robbidobbs]

Thank you Barbie. I'll be as usual at the back end (so to speak) of Terminal City. I'll schwing by BDC&WB I'm sure. I'll need a quick beer before we head out (hee).

Graciously,
RobbiDobbs

[robbidobbs]

I'm in for putting up signs pre event. Might be able to secure another minion if you want.
I will get my gut X-rayed before hand to make sure I have no kidney stone to take me out of the game like last year. On the bright side I finally got to be on drugs at burning man. Ha ha!
I'll be ready for action! Motsky.

Thanks Motsky,
I've already submitted the request for your early entry. You're in good shape (but you knew that). Although another minion is appreciated, I won't be able to get another early entry authorized.

Moochas smoochas,
RobbiDobbs

If I can make it this year count me in for at least one shift doing sumthin not so labor intensive. I could yell in a bullhorn or restock tp.. possibly wipe down some seats depending on the time of day. The heat out there still fucks me a little from time to time. This year I've packed lots of Emergen-C so I think I may have a better time in the heat. My trip is still up in the air a little but I'm thinkin I may make it. And no chair this year like last year, though I will bring the walkin boot just in case. But now that I've found these croc style shoes I can go for much longer wihtout stirrin up my toe nerves as long as I'm on my pill to keep the nerve shutddown.

That's totally cool Tool. If you can make it, I can sure use your help on the bullhorn. I don't wipedown anything, but occasionally pick up bits of trash. Nothing icky though. The nice thing about my gig is that most of the time we'll be just cruising the city going from bank to bank delivering tp and getting loud at people. So you'll totally be in.

I truly hope to see you out there.

[robbidobbs]

Thanks Sailman. That's just fascinating. I do hope that you compiled this on company time. My fav is a modified overbite/lean cuisine, where the leaning is back against something but the ass isn't necessarily being supported.

Keep the silliness coming,

[unjonharley]

thinking of you Rod-a-dob,

had to dig out the lid on the septic tank.(ten years slips by)

the damn thing is 3 feet down. it's a 50 year old concret box. with a formed 200+lb lid.

now the suckers are a no show.
where he hell is JOTS when i need them¿

[brcprincess]

I seem to remember that some of the signs on the porta potties were based on suggestions from people on Eplaya.

Are you doing the same thing this year, cos I saw a great one today:

"If you sprinkle when you tinkle
Be a sweetie and wipe the seatie"

[motskyroonmatick]

Robbidobbs,
Awesome! I'm planning on showing up early and not taking an ambulance ride to Reno this year. I've been good so no kidney stone! (Fingers Crossed)

[robbidobbs]

unjon that sounds truly like a pain in the ass. good luck with that.
thank you princess for the input. yes I do publish signs submitted from burners all over the place. feel free to write poo-etry and sayings (on company time even better) and post them right here and they will be made into pottie-signs.
this weekend's exciting adventure at pottie central is to print up the interior signs. this will take time and effort as they're going to be on quarter sheets and therefore of uniform size. now I need to figure out how to do this in ms works (bleh).
keep those bowels moving with burning thoughts.

ONE PLY OR DIE!

[oneeyeddick]

Charmin with aloe is a one-ply toilet paper.

It's natural greasiness feel so good on my booty that we use it year round.

Sometimes I give it an extra wipe just because I like the way it feels.

So that's what gets you so green.




And that was really in the rhelm of tmi.

Nuthin' wrong about putting lotion on spots that get chapped from time to time.

[Simon of the Playa]

Nuthin' wrong about putting lotion on spots that get slapped from time to time.

have you tried bag balm?

[wedeliver]

I wonder who has read what it says on the side of the can of Bag Balm.

Allow me,

Since 1899, Bag Balm has been the farmer's friend helping keep dairy cows from becoming chapped from the harsh Vermont environment.

Another side says,

After each milking, apply thoroughly and allow coating to remain on surface.

Another,

For use on cows, thoroughly wash treated teats and udder with seperate towels before each milking. To avoid contamination after each milking, bathe the udder with plenty of hot water, strip milk out and dry skin. Apply Bag Balm freely and massage gently with this proven ointment twice daily.

Nowhere on a can of Bag Balm does it say for use on humans, just pets and cows

just sayin'

[Simon of the Playa]

all four of my kids nursed until they were like 12, so my ex used it.

her doctor recommended it...



let the bovine jokes begin.

[ygmir]

and, it works better than spit

[AntiM]

new slogan?

"Don't fuck up the suck up, don't clog the pipe with your baby wipe."

I love playadiptiy, last year the first potty I hit past the greeters had MY poem on it. What's the odds?

[unjonharley]

Drift..Danger..

Who? takes me out of me nice warm cot.

Who? puts me on that cold cold pot.

Who? makes me pee, wetter I can's or not.

Me Mudder.

[robbidobbs]

Most excellent poopers.
I just took a poo-ery dump.
Are you a Survival Guide panty-waste fuck-up?
Do you not know that wet wipes don't suck up?
If you're feeling so true
In the room that is blue
Take responsibility and just buck up.

thanks AntiM for the inspiration.
Your sign will be published.

No offense, but perhaps a good psychiatrist would have been more in order?

[Simon of the Playa]

offense taken.


i may be as fucked up as Typewriter at a PC convention, but all 4 of my children are healthy, well-adjusted, good looking and on their way to success much greater than their insane father.

1 in grad school at u of r
1 about to grad from harvard
1 at u of chi
1 entering high school.


it is obviously their mother's fault that they are so 'perfect".

so any insults you hurl their way will be met with a ferocious "fuck you", and then a comparison test on the progress any of your little bits of mushy dna might be doing vs. mine.


you will lose.




as you can see, this proud papa bear will eat you if you fuck with his cubs, and werner herzog wont be there to film it.

[ygmir]

just don't cry
use 1 ply
in the room of blue,
don't ask why
just comply,
when you leave a poo........

[C.f.M.]

At a regional in a few weeks, a few of us are planning to set up tables outside the loos, wear tuxedos, and have mints, hairspray, tampons, hot towels, etc.

I wanted to sit there like judges, with number signs to hold up as people exited but I was outvoted.

[robbidobbs]

that is most excellent! I truly appreciate concierse services on the playa. please replicate this at the major burn.
best,

[brmannoob]

So, um is there any actual volunteering needing to be done, or do you have it all covered now?

(How about safe, sane and sober potties; and all-fucked up potties? You know people who care, and people who don't even know what there is to care about?)

only YOU can prevent seat poop! --please don't hover!

[theCryptofishist]

Don't worry, there's always more work to do on the Pottie project.

[motskyroonmatick]

It is really simple.

If you must hover just lift both the lid and seat. Hover your business and then close the seat, lid and exit.

I don't hover and am none the worse for wear from it.

Hopefully this helps just one potty be in better condition for all you poopers!

The direct word from my poopervisor (Robbidobbs) is that there are no more early entry passes to be had for work before the event starts. However Robbidobbs loves help during the event and you could join her on her rounds anytime during the week for some PSA announcing. I'll let her chime in on this when she gets online again.

BTW welcome to ePlaya.

This doesn't rhyme, but oh well:

"Just sit on the damn seat - it's probably cleaner than your butt anyway."
