Yeah, I have had to completely refrain from trying to talk to my parents about it, because if you google it all you get is naked chicks and drugs. I try to keep a file of non-drug/party articles in case it comes up...but it's tough.Tiahaar wrote:This is one of my current favorite threadsMojojita wrote:You may do far better taking a lot of good photos and editing your choices to give her.![]()
OK true story: a couple weeks ago finally sent my (yes Mormon) folks some selected pics of BRC 2010. Called them, all excited to see if they liked the art. First thing they said "Son we wish you wouldn't go around in that loincloth thing, please don't send us photos of that".
Heh, they got the 5% of pics without me bare or with naked people in the background somewhere...though I slipped in a distant shot of the WNBR: guess which photo they complained most about?
'and um...the art, Mom and Dad, like any of that in those pics??'

I too keep a pile of G Rated photos for the grandmas to look at.
I few years back, I asked someone to take my picture standing strategically with by bike seat in front of my sensitive parts. I got the perfect photo that showed no clothing, but could be passed around the Thanksgiving table. To my surprise, I didn't notice the shadow that the sun was casting on my manhood and clearly projecting on the hard playa surface. ooops!

There's no "nudity" here, but I'm betting your friend would still be offended.

Remind me to tell you about the time I walked into a tent structure on the playa and saw a giant naked black curly snatch playing a 7 foot long digeridoo.......ibdave wrote:Mojojita wrote:I consider myself to be open minded and street-wise - but for good or for ill, I have seen things on the playa that are burned into my retinas forever.

In 2005 or '06 one of our campmates used that line on Sunday as we were setting up camp & she was cracking bad jokes.C.f.M. wrote:thankyoui'llbehereallweek
By Weds it was "thankyoui'llbeherefivemoredays". She adjusted daily.
As we're almost to the blacktop from Exodus, it's "thankyoui'llbehereforfivemoreminutes"
We hit the blacktop to "D has left the building!"
Thank you for this flu-driven non sequitur. You may now return to your normally scheduled thread-drift.
