ROFL! You should have seen the time I had one of the Japanese kids ask a ranger that question. When he finally figured out what he was asking, the ranger started to get really concerned, asking if he was okay, if he had water,... I was rolling on the ground.
My first burn, I went 'searching' for the food court (I made sure to dress as a tourist). I asked one camp where it was and a chick freaked out on me, and told me that I was ruining her burn because I was so stupid. Good comedy.
My fav Playa phrase?
FUCK YEAH

So stupid you ruined someone's burn!pizzamancer wrote:Risky wrote:Where's the food court?

2002, Burn night...
I'm designated 'camp security',so I've climbed up to the top of our frontage art, to watch the man burn (and keep an eye on the neighborhood)...
Along comes a 20something asian fellow with his duffle bag and a BRC map - he has clearly just arrived (!) and is confuzzled, so I speak up from above his head..."Can I help you?"
His response " Where is everybody?"
pointing to playa..."See all the lights & fire?"
"Ohhhhh....."
poor guy, hope he had a good time!

By the fire on the esplanade, after standing there for quite a while the night the man pre-burned, staring out into the playa.
"So....where is the man anyway?"
They had driven in and seen the man as they arrived and set up camp while everything happened, without hearing about any of it.
So they knew the man was there, having already seen it.

"Any one got acid?" "Any one got acid?" "Any one got acid?"

"umblea umblea umblea umblea"

Some of my favorites that I remember (this year I'm bringing a notebook dammit)
"you know, the playa diet. It's like Atkins. With sand."
"I just had a staring contest with a frog"--said by our very timid republican virgin campmate after she had been gone way too long for a trip to the porta potties.
me: "whose tortilla is this on my tent?"
campmate: "leave it there, it's our playa tortilla warmer!"
Jellyfish-- i have a feeling I may be friends w/ the person who claimed to be a zero drama princess.
