What are you bringing to the Meet & Greet?

[delle]

What a question.....

I'm just going to say that all 6 of us are smokers and hope I'm not wrong. Tho I think I'm NOT! ("hope" being a hugely contestable word in this context)


This brings up something Triken & I were discussing last night.

"How allowed or frowned upon would burning filtered cigarette butts be at BM?" (in raging burn bins, of course!)

(my thought was that LNT apparently meant "on the ground" more than anything else, judging from pics and stories I've seen about things that burn. Am I correct in this thinking, or should I start getting used to little rollies right away?)

[Elderberry]

As long as you carted the ashes away, I don't see that there would be any problem with it.

[FIGJAM]

Most people carry an altoids tin to use as a portable ashtray.

[theCryptofishist]

You're not throwing the filters into the fire? Are you? Cause that would be...gross? What are those things made of anyway? Does it create noxious smoke?
Other than that, yes, portable ashtray. Given that there are so many of you, you might want to have a coffee can to empty into. Better too big than too little.

[Elderberry]

The filters are cellulose acetate, made from wood http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose_acetate and doesn't appear they would be toxic to burn. The same fibers are used to make clothes too, among many other things.

The coffee can needs to have a lid on it, and should be weighted down so it doesn't spill easily in the wind.

I don't know where you guys shop but I can't find decent coffee in cans anywhere anymore; I use cylindrical cookie tins now.

And JK I reckon Delle can get her ashes hauled at the Meet & Greet anyway. I understand the burn barrels there were hand made by the Mighty Ygmir himself, and I'm sure I figure somewhere in the plan for keeping them emptied. Happy to help out, y'all.

Edited to add: I find that the Altoids tins leak ash at the hinges, so, I use the little round hand-salve tins instead.

My coffee comes in bags from Peets a few blocks from my house. I don't think there was ever decent coffee in a tin...

[FIGJAM]

I use a 1gal. paint can with a 2" hole cut in the lid.

The handle is a big plus.

[Dr Jet Sinister]

Figjam is a genius!

[FIGJAM]

Just Good, thank you.

[Elorrum]

I found one of these tins at a military surplus shop. It was made to hold these goggles, but I've never owned the goggles, just the tin. Good size, good tin.

True. But at one point our parents didn't know any better.

And what, you don't go to Peet's with your freezer container and get the nickel off?

[Sail Man]

Just Good, thank you.

And modest as well

We don't freeze the coffee. We get a weeks worth at a time, but we're not too snobby. We don't grind every time we make a pot (unlike some of the people around SF)

There are Coffee snobs in every city.
Coffee snobs and/or Beer snob seems to be the newest trend.

There has always been really good beer, and really good coffee. But at the point that college kids start turning their noses to PBR/Rolling Rock, and complaining but drinking Coors- There is something wrong with this country.

[Solito]

Just wanted to confirm that I'm showing up with 2 kilos of Missouri deer jerky (taken by me, on my land, by arrow, and heavily prepared with teriyaki seez'nins) -- also whatever I have left of Cuban rum. It'll more than likely be ole Bacardi poured into one of my empty Cuban bottles - so unless you see/hear me crack the seal, don't expect any Commie rum inspired economic reform dreams that evening... beyond your normal baseline for such thoughts anyway.

[Drawingablank]

MMMM - venison jerky.

Funny, just the other day I was thinking of making some to bring.

[theCryptofishist]

Venison jerky cook-off?

[Trishntek]

Venison jerky cook-off?

or if that fails,,,
a venison cook jerk off?

I know! My conscience is watching food porn! What can I say?

Oh poo! Beat me to it...
Though I was gonna say 'Venison cookie jerkoff'.
But it could also be 'Jerkoff a venison for a cookie'.
Sounds like a fair trade, no?

[krum]

that had better be the best fucking cookie ever....lol

[Trishntek]

I concur,,,,

[Foxfur]

I concur,,,,

And here I thought you were open minded...
Did I mention that I used to build electroejaculation systems for the scientists where I used to work?
They were for primates.
Hmmm. I have some schematics somewhere.
Always was afraid to build a personal use device. One could get terribly addicted to them...

[EspressoDude]

A lot of burners are close to primates by tuesday or wednesday........just sayin.....over stimulation can be good therapy and maybe a good show

[krum]

Man I was going to bring some Cheetos and Grape Soda, I think I'm going back to the drawing board if Electroejaculation Systems are going to be par for the course...lol

[Foxfur]

I have in my posession an HP Medical Systems electroanesthesia unit. It's made to produce electronarcosis in animals. I really should test it out.
Also have a wrist action shaker. Holds a double dong very nicely. Not too long of a stroke but it makes up for that with speed...
Not gonna bring em to the MnG. Interested parties may follow me back to the trailer.

And Krum? Cheetos and grape soda go great with these. Please do bring em!

[Dr Jet Sinister]

Keep any of those electro-whatchamahooies away from me. kthxbi!

[C.f.M.]

I need to read slower. Venison jerk off? I thought animals weren't allowed on the playa.
