[TomServo]

I need a .50... squirrel population has gotten a little too large.

1999, a guy did a swan dive off a two story scaffolding. Rumor is he survived, but talks like a girl now....according to an unamed source from BM headquarters.

I remember what she looks like....just can't remember the name. Nor would I give it out. We were typing up the census cards.

rumor has it Ugly Dougly will be back this year.

[Ugly Dougly]

I had a nice BM dream recently.

[Phinneas]

here are my favorite legends of indeterminable veracity: on Monday in '02 after arrival the previous night, I'd heard that a naked burner arrived with no food, water, or any gear of any kind in order to "throw himself at the mercy of the camp." Within hours, he was hooked up with everything he needed, including his own tent and supplies.

in '06, i heard that during the previous burn, an RV of junkies celebrated their arrival when gates opened by shooting up as soon as they parked at their camp. they lost track of time and before they knew it, the temple had burned and it was time to leave ... even though nobody ever got around to leaving their RV even once the whole week.

in '06, to counter the growing shirtcocker threat, some burners built a pantszooka, a cannon that fired rolled pants at shirtcockers. i'm pretty sure this one is true.

i also heard in '06 that a theme camp was using a chainsaw to blend their bar drinks. not sure how exactly that supposedly worked, considering the whole oil/grease thing normally associated with chainsaws.

This one is true. I know the guy who fixed (or built) a swivel mount for another camp's Anti-S.C. Pants Cannon several years back.

This one is TRUE, but not sure of the Year...

This happens all over the Playa. They sell chainsaw/weedeater motor BLENDERS. Great for when you have no Electricity...

[jkisha]

I thing the one about the person showing up with nothing is true, but not unique. I hear this story every year. In fact, we had one guy that did it in our camp, though we weren't as generous, he did end up getting everything he needed from other camps. My partner got into it with him when he found out he was hiding his drugs in one of our coolers.

[Weebdog]

Phinneas - Some friends of mine have a blender powered by a Stilh chainsaw motor. Works very well. I wish I knew how to post the picture to show you.

[Phinneas]

whoa, it's fun plugging into the burner hive-mind and finally getting a better sense of which wacky stories I've heard through the years are actually true. This is like the snopes of the playa -- thanks, guys!

"Yes, officer, that IS my cooler, but no, those definitely AREN'T my camp's drugs. How? Well, they must've been stashed there by that naked burner guy who shows up every year with absolutely nothing - in fact, he's already got a reputation all over eplaya for doing just that, stashing drugs in other people's coolers!"
