Like opinions, just because you happen to "own" a question doesn't make it a good or correct question. When you've made your opinion/question public, you've automatically relinquished exclusive rights to it. Expect them to be judged by outside standards.jhnt wrote:Hey Ugly, How can "I" ask the wrong question, It was "my" question.Ugly Dougly wrote:Are you asking the wrong question?

Yes, the question can be wrong. Fundamentally, the question could be contradictory or a paradox. Usually a "wrong" question means that the question is not giving you the answers you desire, for reasons such as:
- The question not appropriate for the expected education level of the environment (i.e. stupid questions) and gets ignored.
- The answer is a matter of belief or philosophy that must already be understood or accepted.
- The question is not specific enough, or contain enough details, to be worth answering.
- The question doesn't follow societal norms, and answering is purposely avoided.
- The answer to your question is already decided upon, but you want validation.

Okay, I'm just checking in here. Did any one pm Sunbeam and say that she was possibly offending me?theCryptofishist wrote:Ah, such things are beyond such things as fish...Sunbeam56 wrote:STAND ALONE
Camping, bring everything you need, plus spares, and don't depend on the environment or others to bail you out. No AAA Travel Club.
because, if you did, thank you, that is so sweet, you must really thing highly of me, but that's sort of a little prank.
There is no way a newbie on the board should be held to the standard of knowing about my total lack of feet. I do jump on these, in part for myself--it's astonishing how many of these idioms there are; it's also a joke--maybe not a laugh out loud joke, but a chuckle joke, a there-goes-Fishy-again-joke, a damnit this is one of my identities and I'm going to embrace it hell or high water joke; and finally it's a little snarl at the newbs. Yes, I am being rude and cloaking it by finding a fault in someone when I freely admit it cannot be expected to know. You should be telling the newbies, in pm or in the threads themselves: That's Fishy. She lost her legs and has a somewhat complicated relationship with that. She twits the newbies with it, but she's not likely to go much further...
If you believe it to be true, you can add, she doesn't mean any harm with it.

Re: 2013 Theme - Cargo Cult - thoughts?
So, To please the cargo god's I build the camp, MV and art out of left overs from the last delivery..
That delivery went to the interlopers. They attracted the cargo god's and took the good stuff.. Leaving boxes, crates, tin cans, glass and other containers.. Now I must take the leftovers, preform many dances, drink many drinks to attract the god's for another delivery of cargo..
Looks like I will use a lot of string/rope, bamboo and duct tape to assemble pleasing item to the god's
I have a shed full of cargo left overs.. But it's only 30 degrees out there.. Must move to the fuck thread for this.

I'm anticipating a bunch of crappy looking structures and artworks. Some of bamboo and others from pallets. I can't wait.

It will be exactly 3x as cool as you expect, Ratty, and you will be blown away.
Re: 2013 Theme - Cargo Cult - thoughts?
So, from what I can tell - based on the discussions here... This burn's art is going to be as cool and as inspired as in other years.
There have always been Tiki bars, and I suspect there always will be.
It would be interesting to see a giant art car made to look like "Serenity" on the outside and have the inside look like the cargo hold - that has been made into a bar...

I guess there will be a fair bit of face painting as well.

Re: 2013 Theme - Cargo Cult - thoughts?
Soon as it warm to 40 degrees in the days.. The long branches of the apple tree will have to be trimmed.. They look lke they can be bent (in water) into arches..
The arches could be the frame work for a shelter about the size of a 10X10 pop up.
Arch x''ed across the top. Can add side frame along the hen from the same branches.. Tie off with hemp rope..
Going cotton (paint tarps) shelter.. To stay in the theme. Short garden fence post to tie the legs.. A loop of rope around a small stone in place of grommets.. Staying with sand stakes.. I drive them with a roto hammer.. Going to weld a 1/2 inch rebar to the top of each fence post.. So they can be driven in with the roto hammer..
