Puking at Burning Man

[skibear]

Two years ago we were enjoying a quiet supper in our camp when a young inebriated burner approached us, weaving and stumbling yet miraculously staying upright. He plopped himself down in a chair and offered us a drink from his almost empty quart of cheap tequila. We politely declined and offered him some food. He graciously accepted some of our dinner and began to tell us a rambling story of his missing bicycle. Suddenly, without pausing or missing a beat, he started vomiting. He kept right on with his story as if nothing was happening out of the ordinary. The vomit was spewing from his mouth and dribbling all down his shirt and he never stopped talking. We were awe-struck at this display of incredible dexterity, and horrified that he might aspirate and choke himself to death. Finally, I broke our stunned silence by suggesting that his lost bike was not to be found in our camp, but maybe if he looked up the road and around the corner he might locate it. And off he rambled on his toxic adventure. So, if you need to puke, just do it on yourself and move on. But don't give me a hug afterwards.

perhaps sham wants to party with this guy too, though i will admit its pretty amaing verbal and physical dexterity.

one time at celt camp we had inbibed a bit much and the druid stumbled off to puke, as he lent over puking for england, one of the group walked up "are you alright2 he asks. "yes" replies the druid with a sneer in his voice "i'm doing this for fun"
actually that was funnier if you were there

Note to self: do not read a thread on puking after a night of heavy drinking.

[Sham]

You do realize that now you are semi-obligated to post it, right?

What the hell is up with the porto's on Sunday morning after wild Saturday night of drinking and puking? I understand that if someone is going to vomit, they don't want to stick their face close to the bowl in the stall, but that is some serious defiling going on Saturday night. I swear, they must just open the door and puke inward.
A slightly different subject, I was at Center Camp a few years back on a Saturday night, and a real heavy guy was passed out, sprawled back on a plastic lawn chair. It was a perfect picture to take of this guy, but it was not until I printed this classic photo that I realized he had completely pissed himself. There was a two foot wet spot down his leg and crotch. I want to party with this guy!

yeah!
Photos, or it never happend!

Oh, it happened alright. I still wake up in a cold sweat thinking of this guy in Center Camp. At least his piss spot on his pants was clean!
I just noticed that he has a flashlight hanging from his belt to keep him safe and some sort of official pass hanging around his neck.

[Turnip]

that poor chair...

[Packoderm]

Don't listen to the wet blankets. Just ask somebody in your camp who is flying into town to grab a few extra barf bags while they're on the plane. If you can't barf at Burning Man, you can't barf anywhere. If if you can't barf, it's because somebody is telling you not to, which is against one of the 10 principles of Burning Man.

What a stud.

[theCryptofishist]

I'd suggest a better class of bag than you get from the grocery store. "Freezer" bags of the zip up variety or better bags from a store (tobacconists, boutique, art store are lively local possibilities) are much more likely to survive the experience long enough to be useful.

I gotta ask, did you ask permission first?

Because it doesn't look like he spiffed up or anything first, just sayin'.....

[Igneouss]

Spam and absinth... yummmm...eeee!

[mdmf007]

I love puking on stuff that is not mine as much as the next guy, but know its rude to do so.

Anyways - Remember if your vomiting from drinking, your at your physical limit. You may feel better after doing so, but water and electrolytes is what you need - not more boozeahol.

[essjay]

That's scary - he is the poster-boy for vomit asphyxiation waiting to happen. If I had my wits about me, I would try to get him to lie down on his side - even if directly on the playa (he deserves it). Do not allow your camp-mates to pass out like this. . .

[Sham]

I so hate the feeling of hurling my guts up through my mouth and nose, that I try very hard not to cross the line of having too much to drink. Sure, I've had days where I can't find my camp and have to stop and ask directions--only to have one of my camp mates look at me and tell me I am in front of the camp. (another martini please)

[JStep]

The true secret to this is to drink so much on a regular basis that you no longer get drunk enough to puke. If you're drunk enough to puke at this stage of the high-functioning alchoholic, you're already dead. Cheers!

Ohh...sorry about that.

Did anyone else happen to notice even the front of his socks are wet, as well as the top of his left shoe? Yikes.

[Sham]

His right leg appears to have some sort of liquid running down it as well and the top of that shoe seems to be wet too. This is addition to the left one that dusthand mentioned.

[Bob]

Kudos to whoever designed that love seat.

[DustHand]

Thank goodness he has one of those battery operated glow sticks attached to his belt loop.

Quote heard the next day. "Why does my neck hurt SO badly???"

[Packoderm]

Urine is usually acidic, which is good to counter the playa dust, so not all is lost.

[cpart]

Of course I would be ready to shovel it into a bag. I was just asking. You guys are pussies. I'm going to puke all over your camps and playa. And I will clean it \up.

Another puking story

at the BMF rally one year a friend of mine who usually drinks vodka and diet coke switched to guiness and got absolutely hammered, anyhow sometime later he wakes up in his tent with the "i'm going to puke feeeling" and searches for the exit to the tent but in his befuddled state is completely unable to open the tent or even find the end of the zippe. So finally unable to hold back any longer he Assumes the puking poistion, which i ssimilar to the doggy position but far far less enjoyable and the first mouthful of black and evil vomit passes his lips to splatter the tent floor, his girlfriend opens her eyes, pinned by her hair in the way of this unstoppable assault, my friend tells me he was unable to stop or even move as he emptied his stomach onto his dearly beloveds face, who at least had the good sense to close her mouth.

I've got a few more but thats the best/worse

OMG! Grai, you had me in tears laughing at this.

[EB]

my boyfriend had a bad mix of absinthe and ham.

Classic rookie mistake.

Remember, at Burning Man:

"Ham then Absinthe makes you Absent(h) but Absinthe Then Ham? Goddamn!

[jojofroyo]

If you have to puke, right when you start feeling like your going to drink as much water as you can as fast as you can.
It wont stop you from puking, actually it probably will make you puke for sure.
But it will feel better, and wont be as gross.

When I have to puke I usually just do it on the tire of my truck. But Im just really good at aiming.

PUKE AND RALLY!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember if you puke, it is just God trying to tell you its ROUND 2!!!!! or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7, etc...

Everyone should learn to chase their shots with water. So you get drunk and stay hydrated!

Was she still his girlfriend afterward?

If so, she's a keeper
