Some Questions for those crazy burners out there.

Avatre the New Dawn · Post by **Avatre the New Dawn** » Wed Dec 02, 2009 11:18 am

I'm currently doing a statistics project and I wanted to ask Burners like us some questions to see if there is a relationship between age and gender and who goes to the Playa. If you would please answer these, I would greatly appriciate it. Thanks!

1) What was your age during the last Burn?

2) What is your gender?

3) How much money did you spend your last trip "home"?

4) Do you plan to return next year?

I'm thinking that clinically crazy burners are not a good sample group for meaningful statistics.

ygmir · Post by **ygmir** » Wed Dec 02, 2009 4:59 pm

are there other kinds of burners?

Fuck Yeah! Uh, I mean, that depends, you aren't going to be there asking a bunch of questions are you? How many drinks have you had this year? How many times have you been propositioned by a member of the same sex? etc...

oneeyeddick · Post by **oneeyeddick** » Wed Dec 02, 2009 6:05 pm

How many times did you "accidentally" make a bicyclist wreck because your flamethrower was too close ?

These are important questions, MAN !!!

ygmir · Post by **ygmir** » Wed Dec 02, 2009 6:09 pm

how many of those were "accidents"

did you laugh after

Avatre the New Dawn · Post by **Avatre the New Dawn** » Wed Dec 02, 2009 7:14 pm

Wow! Thanks guys! I've got now all of ... 1...2...3...4...5? 6 answers? Well just to answer some of your questions...
I've attended Burning Man now a grand total of once, but I've gone to Fourth of JuPlaya now three times. I most definately will be returning next year (to both) and I was with an organized camp. I was with Fire Conclave at 5:30 and Esplanade, which was right next to BMIR, the Ranger Station and DMV.

Haha no, I guess crazy burners are not a great demographic because they always find some random why to twist your questions like the douche bags on Tribe. There most certainly are more than one type of burner, and yes. Yes I laugh everytime because my friends' truck has four high pressure propane cannons that really go BOOM.

Thanks!

theCryptofishist · Post by **theCryptofishist** » Wed Dec 02, 2009 8:09 pm

I;m sure the three or four members of tribe upthread greatly appreciate being called "douchebags."

oneeyeddick · Post by **oneeyeddick** » Wed Dec 02, 2009 8:18 pm

I've been called worse, believe me.

I like the attempt to appeal to our sensativities by assuming we are all on one side of the fence here and ready to throw rocks.

He a smart fella, this one.

Post by **AntiM** » Wed Dec 02, 2009 9:37 pm

I prefer "dim bint" to "douchebag".

lonestoner916 · Post by **lonestoner916** » Thu Dec 03, 2009 1:29 am

I don't take offense. I am a Douchebag on Tribe, here I'm a fluffy kitten, or a pretty princess depending on my mood.

Just curious, are you going to include a chapter in your report on sampling biases in statistical projects?

but to be nice;

1) What was your age during the last Burn? 46

2) What is your gender? Male

3) How much money did you spend your last trip "home"? about $2500 (plus $1500 to buy and refurb a camper that will be used for at least a few more years hopefully)

4) Do you plan to return next year? Don't know yet, but will if I can afford it

EspressoDude · Post by **EspressoDude** » Thu Dec 03, 2009 6:29 am

Methinks this poll is skewed towards those mostly mature folks that have been laid off from work, unemployed and have time to read and post here....

just how loud is your art ?

does it cause hearing loss?

does it cook bacon?

how bright is it?

does it cause people to see spots with their eyes closed?

how often does LEO visit you or your art?
