How about the girls that came in before the man burned and then stood with us on the esplanade after they made camp, for a long time looking out past the fire onto the playa.
Finally one turns to me and says,
"So, where is the man, anyway?"

patron tequila night on the bar car... every third person: "do you have any mixers?"

the eternal question: "where are you from?"

man arrives at my camp and presents me with a box. me: "what you got there?" man: "feces. someone left it in my camp last night." ... because i was camped near a cafe village and bunch of DPW, i figured he naturally assumed i should take care of it. and i did.

tuesday after the burn, a man with slave: "do you allow flogging at your table?" me: "is it tuesday?"

middle of the night - a BRC ranger joking and laughing with LEOs as they raided the camp adjacent to mine. (one of the camp members had been caught smoking a joint on the playa). when I asked the BRC ranger for information on the bust so that we may later assist our neighbors, i was dismissed and told to move away.

Last year a friend and I took a bottle of Famous Grouse and a truck out to the trash fence and danced on the flat bed. I look over and see this man walk up. When he got to the fence he shouts, "Somebody's gonna need a SHITLOAD of dimes!" and starts laughing maniacally and then turned around and vanished into the dust. My friend and I stared at each other for a good minute and burst out laughing.
