She bravely swam away, away!
(And once again, Fishy, you've beaten me here.)

[theCryptofishist]

I think it's an indication of my job being just a little bit more boring than yours.

[theCryptofishist]

Am I even allowed to comment on my being scolded?

Doing the usual tour in reverse order. Rushing back to the source now to see what happened.
And yes, of course you are!!


ETA: Went back there, read it. Poor guy's obviously been sliding down hot astroturf, barenaked. His backside is tender.

[theCryptofishist]

Thanks for the laugh.

[briarmoonfrog]

Brilliant thread! I scored over 200! Yippie...still NEED a ticket...

[theCryptofishist]

Thanks for taking it so well.

[briarmoonfrog]

Sense of humour always intact...but still no ticket. I think that can be my new BS mantra..."still no ticket"

OK call me cynical, but there's just something about this post. viewtopic.php?f=292&t=56135

If the camp was registered, wouldn't the leader have had an opportunity to get some tickets from BMORG?

If the post is BS, it definitely would rank right up there with one of the cleverest ploys I've seen.

Just saw a post on CL San Diego for 2 tickets for 1400 , the pic shows them sitting on a piece of paper with Fed Ex on it ,I'm guessing fake :/

I don't know Jella, they look pretty darn real to me. But then, I haven't gotten my tix yet.

We're a registered camp. We got a call from the placement team that was basically "Your camp is cool! But not cool enough for early 'guaranteed' placement... or more tickets. Good Luck!"

Ours came stapled to a packing list/PO that was printed on a FedEx sheet.

Hmm
Ok I didn't know sent them fed ex too..I thought they all went out USPS postal service, my mistake

I totally agree. It was a surprise to us too. Especially cause it was a USPS guy that dropped them off.
I wonder if maybe the shipping labels/packing slip they use, just says fedex around the edge.

Its one of those deals that prints as an 8x11 sheet. Then the top half of the 8x11 peel off and is the mailing address, and the packing slip is the bottom half.

[FIGJAM]

My tickets have always been flat.

Those are slightly curled!

I CALL SHINANIGANS!!!!!!!!

There's this thing called (something like) OnTrak, where it's mailed in a post office and delivered by a letter carrier, but the central part of the journey is done by FedEx. I dunno, maybe this is related.

They may be using FedEx Smartpost which is a combination of FedEx origin and USPS final door services.

I wish this went a little further, into the uncharted territory of healing through hooping...

It's gotta be a sock. Surely this person is not real.

Then the photo is a red herring...

She's a 25-year-old single woman who is ready to hit the playa with no remorse. Not even a little bit.

[theCryptofishist]

She better hope the playa doesn't hit back... That'll give her remorse.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Hard enough, and she'll never regret anything again.
Keep Burning Man fatal, and all that

EDIT: Potentially fatal. I meant potentially.

[theCryptofishist]

Nice save...

[catinthefunnyhat]

If there is such a thing as karma (I think not), and its effects are felt in one's current life (pretty sure that's karma-unorthodox, but it's assumed by many), I will die at BM this year, and that post will be the reason.

(I will do everything I can -- short of staying home -- to not die at BM this year, and I really hope nobody else dies there either, obviously).

Is that kinda like entering a sweepstakes where you might "potentially" win????

Hmmmm.......

[AntiM]

You're already a winner!

Not so much fun if it means "You're already dead".

[theCryptofishist]

Ooo! Ooo! 15-year burner, esplanade camp, I think I'll burn my ticket when it shows up, because I'm not worthy!

[theCryptofishist]

Ah. Can you offer to pay above face and say "blessed be"? Do two statements that make you into utter jokes cancel each other out, or just mean you're a joke squared?
