If there's any left we ought to put them on the shelves above the bar. There's no telling when someone may want a bizarre snack.

Alt-BM

In that spirit we could call it something like "Participation Across the Spectrum" and name the streets Red, Orange, Yellow, usw. I hope your friend is good at that sort of prose writing. I have a pretentious streak, but it cracks me up a little to easily.

Of course, we could start cribbing from SF Pride. 2002's was a good theme "Be Yourself, Change the World."

Bambi dances across the Bar with a broom, cleaning the Bar in the process. "Sorry Folks I've been a little busy , but I always have time to stop by and get this place cleaned up for tisha2." I'll get some fresh coffee started and wish you all a good day. I love the new decor. I have a disco ball and a fog machine to add to the mix, if thats okay with you tisha2. Maybe we can rig them to the DJ's booth sos he can look like hes floating on a cloud. I'll see you all later, just wanted to check in!

Can we get those time shares at the Donner Trails subdivision? I really like that place.

There need to be 10 concentric street names but there are only 7 colors to the spectrum ...

Maybe we should somehow work LEO appreciation into it. Every time you see a LEO, you get "points". The more you see the more points you get. Spotting undercover LEO are triple points. You must make a loud noise when you see the LEO and have others verify your point score.

I thought of a really interesting street naming scheme. Every concentric street has the same name. Say ... First Street. Every camp is given an address of at least 6 digits. The first digit tells you which concentric "layer" you are on, the second and third tell you which radial. If the last three digits are <500 you turn left from the radial, >500 it is to the right. On your street evens are on the inside, odds on the outside.

So ... to find 483425 First Street you would go out 8:30 to the 4th concentric, turn left and the camp is up the street on the right.

cafe village would be...360495...and around 4am i'd be wandering the Center Ring mumbling, "three...third and then left...wait, no 6-0, umm...6 - there! okay...4-9-5...fuck. less that 500, turn, umm...left?? okay...DAMN! Where's First Street??!! Anybody? fuck. i'm just gonna sleep on a couch in the cafe..."

10! That's news. I thought it was only the esplanade plus 7. Dang, that's right nine planets plus cedna. Dang. Infra red, ultra violet and I'm perfectly happy to have The Abyss. Alternately, we can have gamma rays, x-rays radio waves and like that. A little harder to remember, for fishes at least, but oh so electromagnetically complete. I'll have to consult the compass in my nose.

What's the point score for an arrest?

And speaking of "interesting" Interesting for some is out and out sadistic to others.

IMFO.

(suffering a lack of context, she asked:)

um, what's a LEO??

Yeah, I am trying too hard at this point. Need to relax ...

Okay about that theme ....

"Things Aren't Always What They Seem"
"Tricks of the Mind"
"If Only"

Law Eenforcement Officer

Hear it roar.

theCryptofishist · Post by **theCryptofishist** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 11:03 am

And "Eenforcement" is fish for "Where's the edit button?"

geekster · Post by **geekster** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 11:04 am

Arrest results in loss of all points UNLESS you prevented the arrest of others in which case they give you all their points.

theCryptofishist · Post by **theCryptofishist** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 11:04 am

I won't define Eelforcement in mixed company. (That is the company of mixed drinks.)

Yow. Tricky.

Who's giving out the points?

geekster · Post by **geekster** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 11:12 am

Let's forget about the LEO angle, they are entertainment enough as it is. Note ... I have a friend that has a relative that works for the natural resources department of a western state. Rumor has it that every year they ask for volunteers to go to BM and work out of uniform.

yeah, but you don't want me getting work involved. You'd get some lame-ass theme bar/destination/family entertainment joint with appeal brutally diluted by market research.

I was referring to your being a cloud. True, your work is the official water with which the holy bm oil will not mix. Just check every other thread on the board.

Time for a drink....

How about an Alpine Avenger

1 oz. Rumple Minze
1/2 oz. White Creme de Cacao
Milk (Hot)

Fill a mug with steaming milk, add the alcohol then top with chocolate shavings

all this drunkeness and leaving stuff behind. If it's here for 90 days it goes into the costume exchange in August.

Chocolate shavings are good.
