BLM Needs VIP treatment as well.

[maladroit]

Hahaha Mr Maladroit! Are you trying to create a smackdown between Ruby Jewel and Salt and Straw? http://saltandstraw.com/flavors/. Sure there are creative ice cream experimenters like both world wide. Then there is Taipei-style, bacon ice cream and more.

Yes, It's-It is ancient, but I would rather the BLM munch It's-It over Chocotaco or Ruby Jewell!

I was at Salt & Straw last week, sampled a sundae that had honey lavender ice cream, lemon curd, butter toasted mochi, and Japanese bergamot sea glass. Also had some kimchi ice cream and Thai peanut sauce coconut milk ice cream. If competition can generate this level of artistry, I'll help start a goddamn ice cream nuclear war.

geez, you guys are easily distracted. now, where did I put that Ben and Jerry's I had

You bet they're distracted. Back to the Choco Taco!

Yes, he is the quintessential Majority Leader. A lion amongst legislators. A true immortal amongst mere men. He will go down in the history books, alongside LBJ, in his mastery of the Senate and his advancement of progress for the American people.

Trust you me.

Nevada should be sad to lose him. The entire nation should, at least.

Don't try to change his mind either. It won't work! Trust me on that.

Beady sunglasses were a nice touch

[Jackass]

Where else can you find intelligent discussion about politics and gas station ice cream.

[Lonesomebri]

Now this is the can-do spirit Burners are known for!!!
Crowd Funding - Help bring Blue Pit camp to playa!

[tamarakay]

ok, that is pretty funny

[VultureChow]

I'm thinking about some creative sticker placement this year.

[Jovankat]

Brilliant!!

[666isMONEY]

Keep cattle off BLM land in Nevada: another rancher (freeloader) grazes cattle on sensitive BLM land. Show BLM some support when you see 'em on the Playa!

I thought the article would be relevant to our issue, rather than actually about cows.

Unless the grazing cattle in question are BLM top men.

Top. Men.

[Lonesomebri]

Considering my initials are BLM, I really can't argue with the title of this thread.

-just an aside here, as a wee lad visiting Grandma, she asks me if I need to go "bm". I have no idea what she is asking, this is the first time I heard that referencing bowel movements.
I'm thinking "but I am BM".

[Jovankat]

Your middle name is Lonesome?!

[Lonesomebri]

Your middle name is Lonesome?!

Now it is!!!!!!!!!!

[gaminwench]

So it's Bri(an) Lonesome Man???

Top. Men.

I've been quoting that scene more and more lately, sadly.

Victory? Hopefully!

Director of the BLM, Neil Kornze: "Our revised proposal will include only what is essential for our core operational needs for providing appropriate health, safety, and environmental safeguards on the playa. That is our commitment."

Thanks to everyone who signed the change.org petition (https://www.change.org/p/sally-jewell-d ... ents-to-it). No idea if it helped, but perhaps it did.

Begrudgingly admitted they didn't need 24 hour access to Cristal on ice.

Still better than Krug.

[maladroit]

Of course, when you capitulate from unreasonable demands, no one remembers that you were unreasonable. They just think "what a reasonable group of people" and then they hit you with the snark about BMORG not addressing all the issues they wanted to talk about. Well, I'm the last one to claim that BMORG has all their ducks in a row, but maybe if they don't have another million bucks siphoned off their budget, they can afford to look at a few more issues.

From here on out it will be remembered as The ChocoTaco Debacle.

A big rash of shit over some ChocoTacos (among many other things).

Maybe they could have handed them their shopping list a little later, idiots.

I've been calling it ChocoTacoGate, but how about ChocoDebaco?

It's got a good ring to it! ChocoDebaco it is then...

I don't know if this is reassuring or not. They said the original request was essential when it was made. I haven't read the article yet, my free 30 articles is expired so I have to use my husband's computer to see it lol
