    Idiocy and self-promotion. No news here.

        No, probably safety fourth.

        1. Idiocy
        2. Self-promotion
        3. Grudge
        4. Safety.

          1. fun (radical free expression)
          2. expressing *very broadly held frustration* on the part of many in the community about BMorg's heavy-handedness and increasingly insular decision-making.
          3. safety

          plus an added bonus: pissing off people who have no sense of humor.
          ..and only a shallow understanding of BRC's history - and maybe, just maybe irritating a few of the cool-aid-drinkers into thinking a bit more.

            So go burn your own damned man!

            Getting all pouty about how "the party would be soooo much better if YOU ran it" has nothing to do with safety third, but sure points to the need for an Adulthood Third tribe.

            Go away before our team of crack ninja weavils crawls up your urethra and cores your apples. This group is for serious funkups, not whiners.

                agreed. there has been a severe lack of stupid stories on this tribe. please remain on topic. this tribe's description is pretty clear, go back and read it if you are unsure. i am your tyrant moderator, and i will delete your off topic posts. the premise is pretty simple !!!SAFETY THIRD!!! and it allows of a broad range of discussion without going off topic. is it really so difficult?

                i am not a burning man person, but usually there is at least one story of SOMETHING dangerous there. where are your flamethrower, white gas, blowing sh*t up stories? no lost fingers? accidentally setting your friends on fire? burning down 5 theme camps? come ON!!! you have lost your edge, and frankly i am disappointed in all of you (unless you are dead, and can't log in to tribe.net from beyond the grave, in which case we will be reading about you in the darwin awards). PROVE ME WRONG!!!

                  20,000 newbies with no blinky flashies=many opportunities for safety third.
                  Leave camp blotto, in dark clothing with no lights, taste my fender assmunch. Commonplace idiocy aside (and I'm not even gonna touch addis. Fuck me, SNOOZE), there was an uncommon lack of true jackassery.

                    excuse me to my close pals (they've heard this before)

                    Two years ago, my first burning man, I was biking back across the open playa, 3 am or so. It was reasonably dusty and I had to wear my goggles (i was thinking of safety) but they were my DARK goggles (don't listen to anyone that says you don't need goggles for night) and I had lights, but I couldn't see more than about two feet in front of me. I missed running over a copulating couple by sheer grace and about 3 inches. I hollered back at them, "It's Better with the lights ON!" and kept going.

                    Lets hope they were wearing a condom...Safety Third!!!

                      hopping the trash fence to schromp is safety-third-ier. Then you are only risking disease and being hassled by perimeter. Plus you give a free show to the perimeter guys with NODs.

                        Fuck PA. This isn't Burning Man Third. Let's stay ON TOPIC, people.

                        Why, just yesterday, I found myself debating how to accomplish several logistical challenges and reverted to the "abandoned truck with bald tires and a bad engine" that's been growing mold on my sidewalk for three months since some fucker tried to pawn the title to me to pay off a debt.

                        1. Victory. As in, "we were VICTORIOUS."
                        2. Stupidity (in the face of crazy logistics)
                        3. Safety.
