Hi, wanted to bounce this off you sensible folk
I want to start a new tribe! I rilly feel that bellydancing, hula-hooping, vegetarians and Renaissance festivals are severely under-represented on tribe. But now I've discovered this brand new thing, called Burning... Man(?), have you heard of it?
I want to expose the people of Tribe to these new and alien paradigms, can you offer any advice?

Mon, May 12, 2008 - 1:47 PMHaving made my smarmy comment above, I'm seriously looking into a regional not-yet-affiliated burn, Wickerman, Memorial day weekend.

Mon, May 12, 2008 - 7:43 PMAh yes! I support you 100% young Patric!
I have always reveled in the fact they all call it BM.......cause BM to me is just another Bowel Movement. Guess I am just special! -

Re: I want to start a whole new tribe!
Thu, May 15, 2008 - 9:24 PMWait! Is that a special bowel movement? Special as in it can't find it's way out? Or special as in it has it's own mask and cape?

Re: I want to start a whole new tribe!
Thu, May 15, 2008 - 9:28 PMThis sounds great, but I think you have to build up to a full fledged Burning Man. So let's start smaller. Some brainstorm ideas ...
Smoldering Man
Dry as Tinder Man
Parched Man
My Ass Is On Fire Man
It Burns When I Pee Man -

Dude! I am so coming to your regional burn in Finland!
Just what the Arctic Circle needs, a clothing optional event!
Who needs tats or body modification art when you can have frostbite for free? -

Oops! I better start cracking at this, then. These take a long time to prepare, and the last thing I produced, at least in the arts and entertainment area, was a play, in high school, in Ukrainian, which is several trunks too far away from Finnish on the language tree. Anyone know any good Finnish bands? (The Ukrainian ones suck, by the way: they don't speak Finnish, no matter what they play it comes out sounding like a polka, and you have to keep yelling "No fucking accordions!") -

Oh, no, no, no. You are thinking old school Finns. This is new school Finns. Leather boots, stompers, stilettos, platforms ... -

Re: I want to start a whole new tribe!
Fri, May 16, 2008 - 7:22 PMWooden clogs ... now there is a great abstination promoter. Not many are attracted to wooden clogs. Unless they have bad eyesight and are a little deaf in the middle to low registers ... then they don't notice, and since wooden clogs are pretty good at slowing you down ... do lots of people in Denmark were thick glasses and hearing aids?

Re: I want to start a whole new tribe!
Fri, May 16, 2008 - 7:18 PMWicked Darwinian principle at work there. Like those people who preach abstinence; they don't make it much past the first generation.
That is unless they preach one thing but do another ... the other, I mean. If you are non-abstinate, then you must be prostinate, and as you can guess, prostinators can be pretty aggressive. Benjamin Franklin was a prostinator. So was George Washington, except that his prostinating tubule shot blanks. Terrible thing that is, to have a blank shooting prostination tubule, unless you kind of want to be an abstinator, but are kind of looking for a middle ground too. -
