Sigh, sorry, 33 rules, but maybe only 32 are applicable?

The seat on my cruiser is beat to hell, but really big, soft and comfortable.

Fuck, is it time to go yet? I'm already busting out of my skin here.
Popped the playa cherry!

All I know is that Rule 42 is the oldest rule in the book.

Okay, that movie is pretty damn funny, but reading the rules and applying them to Burning Man just had me cracking up... 8)


Probably because it applies so well...


Especially #3 from what I've heard...

Like others I'm riding my bike a couple miles each day. Today I will shave my head so I can get a tan before I come home.

My wife and I have been walking the local trails, usually 3 or 4 times a week for 4 or 5 miles (shorter during the week due to work schedules) at about a 15 or 16 min/mile pace. Hoping that will has us in shape for the playa this year. It's her first burn so I'm hoping it makes a difference for her.

We're also taking vitamins and watching our diets so that we're generally healthy at the start of the burn at least. All bets are off once we hit the playa of course.
Get out while there's still time!

At least one of you is semi-cultured.
