Pointless tips that might or might not help you out at all.

You forgot the fucked-up, bass-akward way.

Tip: Duct tape will not close a 5 inch rebar gash.

[gyre]

Hold!

Something takes shape within the swirling mists!

[trilobyte]

I disagree, MacGlenver - you probably just didn't use enough of the stuff, or have two people (one to hold the wound closed, one to tape) to get the job done right. I've seen duct tape work with a chainsaw wound, by comparison a few inches of rebar's not too bad.

Here's my tip: adding a flux capacitor doesn't qualify your car as a mutant vehicle, even if your ride is a DeLorean.

[gyre]

True
However, an oscillation overthruster ....

[BAS]

A flux capacitor and an oscillation overthruster built into whatever today's equivalent of a Yugo would be incredibly cool ... but, someone has probably already done it.

The inside skin of a bananna peel makes a good shoe polish.

Helmets made of meat aren't a good idea during the heat of the day, but at night they do keep your head warm.

A leaf of romaine lettuce is a marvelous anti-chaffing mechanism

Anti-chafing where? Betwixt the knees, methinks...

If you save a JPEG file too many times, under another name, you run the risk of introducing degradation through compression.

[Ratty]

bacon can take the place of bearings, (on a crank), IF you are selling the car.

On Windows, you can capture the entire desktop to your clipboard by hitting Printscreen on your keyboard, and only the active program with Alt-Printscreen. This actually was once an awesome tip to a friend of mine.

I disagree. I sincerely doubt romaine lettuce would be a good substitute for Depends.

Don't knock it until you try it!

They die too easily. Stick to cats and/or dogs.

[latchseeker]

tip, do not use a cat as an Anti- Chaffing mechanism. This tip will totally help you out.

There are Harbor Freights in states without harbors.

You could be right... Also, we were using the cheap stuff. Damn our neighborly doctor that ran over and told us to stop what we were doing so he could use his suture kit instead. Next time!

[theCryptofishist]

Doctors think they are so fancy with their specialized equipment and fancy post-graduate degrees.

am i allowed to post really shitty advice in this thread?

1) bring just enough water so you'll run out on Thursday
2) leave your money at home, they give out ice and coffee at center camp and the plazas
3) don't be afraid to just piss/shit anywhere, there is this group called the 'dpw' that are just there specifically to clean up after you (imagine the playa as your own personal litter box)
4) if you see a cop or a blm officer, scream "5-0" as loud as you possibly can so everyone around you knows that you're a true bro. People will recognize you as somewhat of a clairvoyant and gifts will just be flung at your general direction
5) this is huge and bear with me on this one as it may sound certifiably insane, but bring as much mulch as possible, this is the only way to truly designate boundaries between neighboring camps. What you want to do is after you're done setting up, create a border (any shape) around your camp space. This is a huge veteran burner secret that all the 10 year club members adhere to. If they see you doing this, rangers will waste absolutely no time introducing themselves to you.
6) toilet paper is provided at center camp and if you bring an RV, you can drive right into center camp with it and just chill, and then Larry Harvey himself will deliver a fresh XL papa johns 6 sausage pizza to you. After this, you've officially become a 'burner' and you can go home. So. Fucking. Awesome.

Hi, hello, how are you

SAVANNAH!!!

I know, right? . . . After a while you're like . . . "I don't know what I'm spelling anymore, I'm just going to keep highlighting and clicking, and praying for the morning light . . . "

What are you talking about my advice is golden!
Hi, hello, how are you

Can't complain. How are you?!

I'm awesome. I've decided to move back to the west. Planning on being there in April at the earliest or by the latest, fall.

In any case, can't wait to be back where I belong

[TomServo]

Did I mention this? The inside of a bananna peel makes a good shoe polish...and is good for leather.

[BAS]

For a quick, easy and, of course, profitable art project, start your own Anti-Burning Man event just across the playa. No one will mind, and you can finally prove that, yes, you CAN do it better than the BMORG!
