PAGE TWO

[Roberto Dobbisano]

for some reason your camp sounds vaguely like an albanian sex-slave trader set it up.


maybe its me.

[tamarakay]

Oh man, I can't stop laughing. Believe it or not lemur not everything is directed at you.

[lemur]

someone doesnt realize what page two is!

lamplighters used to be the king of black rock city with our wednesday bloody mary party.

i dont know what kind of people show up elsewhere.. but we would go through roughly 200 gallons of the stuff in a few hours... in the heat of the day from around noon to 3pm.

we stopped doing it because it was so damned expensive and probably never got us a single volunteer. but damn, it was fun to see so many people in camp.. fun times.. and it was worth it... for the fun. (not so much for the volunteers.. we didnt get any)


of course.. we had had like 100 people to help pay for it in camp..they would sign up for donations and bring, for example.. like 8 bottles of V8 or a bunch of vodka.... we also did another equally attended party on monday night of the event, and it too was quite expensive, and probably never got us a single volunteer.. (it started after we lit the city hah)

anyways.. we do daily recruitment parties now, of smaller scale.. one each day, around 3pm.. it brings in tons of volunteers... they just show up at lamplighters village behind center camp at 3pm.. enjoy the daily themed party..with booze!.. and then often help us light the lamps when 5pm comes around..... its really neat.

oh yeah.. and..

of course.. our parties are for you, and you wont be seeing a fundraiser..in fact you cant even donate any money to make it happen, IT'S ON US.

No, it's not your destiny to go to burningman this year. Believe it or not, going to burningman is rather too trivial to be anyone's destiny. (Well, maybe Larry Harvey's, but not on the "participant" level.) No, your destiny is to have a really interesting tumor, or to have your home fall into a sink hole, or to always be half an hour late when it matters, or to make buttons on an assembly line, or to kill the one you love. Burningman is a side trip.

[AntiM]

Sigh, the Tumor of Destiny. Cut it out.

(I am such an ass, sometimes... Still, I deserve after all my footnotes.)

I hate this thread.

I understand that a basic tenet is to not post a link to the thread that sparked the post, but I waste so much time trying to match the snark to the original thread.

[lemur]

oh, the stuff we reply to had to happen on eplaya ?!


is there a PAGE TWO for the PAGE TWO thread ?

[theCryptofishist]

is there a PAGE TWO for the PAGE TWO thread ?

You missed it...

[Ugly Dougly]

Burning Man is an ART festival. No, that's not the same as Boneroo.
Try being creative. Is that too much work? Okay, stay home and watch baseball on your TV. Order some pizza, there's a good little consumer.

[AntiM]

Apparently, you can make this shit up.

[Roberto Dobbisano]

so many page twos, so little time.

[Roberto Dobbisano]

careful Bager,



you dont want a restraining order against you.

[Elorrum]

"more interactivity to the masses"

and

Best wishes to you. I think I'll check out the other art.

Two-second timers are only useful for very small bombs. Or firecrackers, same thing.

[AntiM]

Hook, line, and fucking sinker.

[Roberto Dobbisano]

Hmmm, i go to comment on a fundraiser thread because it's page two and the damn thing Mysteriously Disappeared...

seems they be strong enough, and savvy after their first year, to carry something larger..

And I know a Guy who invented the factory, I'd post some news links to it, but they don't have news coverage on Tuesdays out here.

[Roberto Dobbisano]

you're such a dick.

[theCryptofishist]

Once you get to know us, you'll find we're not really all that wonderful...

[lemur]

Of course, there's one catch.

..Yeah? What's that?

We will issue orders sending you back to the States and there's one thing you have to do for us in return.

...What would that be?

Like us.

...Like you?

Like us.

You'll be surprised how easy it is once you begin. You see, we're going to put you on Easy Street.

- Promote you to Major.

- Give you another medal.

- Send you home a hero.

You'll have parades in your honour. You can make speeches, raise money for war bonds. All you have to do is be our pal. Say nice things about us. Tell the folks at home what a good job we're doing.

Take our offer.

It's either that or a court-martial for desertion.

[knowmad]

fuk you lemur! put a trigger warning on that kinda shit.
ps. I think I love you more, now, agian. : )
