It actually says in both auctions "I will be shipping this U.S Priority Mail, so you'll get it in time for your departure for Burning Man."

tip: look for a radio

They look real to me. I wish I was an 2XL not a medium. (well, only so I could buy that and wear it, not so I would be a big person)

They are real. Some jerk is selling an old uniform.

This type of item should be gifted/bartered to another ranger. Gee, wonder why he's getting rid of his ranger stuff?

Unless he's strapped for cash and is selling anything which isn't nailed down. Still, ooky.

Uh, where do real rangers get their uniforms?

Oh, they just fall out of the sky, I forgot.

Or the DPW donation bin.

Could you immagine the stink flap if this was A DPW Vest?

It's hard to imagine a former Ranger making this auction. I almost wonder if it's an ex-mate, or ex-roommate. Someone who found the items in shared property.

Isn't 2XL a bit small for your average BRR?

Buy now, don't let the terrorists win.

Maybe he lost weight and had to go down a size or two.

If someone really wanted to be a fake Ranger... what exactly could hey do?

Tell tons of people to slow down and where the portos are?

For some reason people sometimes confuse me with a ranger -- are they all old? I'm offered free coffee at center camp, which is the only benefit I've found. (Yes, I decline the freebie and pay. Sheesh.)

People are gullible. If they think you're a ranger and you prank'em, you could probably have some fun. I'll leave that to the imagination.

That's the silliness of it, to me. Of course, I'm not up on this, but it's just some khaki clothes with some patches. And a tee-shirt or two (hey! I have one!) If you wanted to, you could do it (or have it done) well enough. Unless there's been some sort of change since I took 3/4 ranger training.

If you make ranger, they issue you a shirt or two, and the hat.

I dressed like a boy scout for the American Dream year & a couple people thought I was a Ranger.

Here's a tip: rangers act like rangers. Fake rangers act like wannabe cops.

I have a yearly tradition of being mistaken for a ranger on burn night. Often by actual rangers. The more I dress not like them, the more likely...

knowmad · Post by **knowmad** » Wed Aug 24, 2011 12:47 am

over in the ticket thread there is a fella(?) that claims he's a ranger but, he does'nt have a ticket, and he's made 4 post total. WTF?
Mabey he bought the vest?

I want to be a Danger Ranger, I think I've got about 8 or 9 posts. Do I need a segway?

I've actually got a couple of old ranger uniforms, gifted from a good pal who was a ranger back in 2000 or so. It was great fun to run some of the camp concessions (bondage stuff, other kinky sex stuff) one day during the week all dressed up as a ranger. 'Course, I only did it for amusing ruse and reactions, you know, fuck shit up and all that. if anyone asked I'd tell them the truth and if there was some kind of emergency I'd drop everything and help them find a proper ranger.

One day, late in the week, there was a German guy hanging out with my neighbors in a ranger shirt, and hat.
He would heckle passersby: Bike riding by nice and slow... "Slow down!" Hot young girl walking by: "Are you carrying any weapons?"
etc, it was hilarious.

If in doubt, ask them what FLAME stands for.
