Playa Proverbs

topic posted Sun, January 28, 2007 - 11:35 AM by  offlineRoamer
I've been trying to think of some playa proverbs and have come up with the following. Any other suggestions?

Rebar and spikes may break my bikes but dust will never hurt me
Give a Burner duct tape and zip ties and he can build a shelter. Give him friends and he can build BM
Gray water can still put out a fire
In for an AAA battery, in a for a D battery
Dust storm before seven, partying my eleven
Some men have only one tutu in them, others a whole wardrobe.
The best Burn never was the present Burn
There's many a good time had by an old Burner
You can't get blood out of rebar
Two sparks do not a Burning Man make
The early Burner catches the water truck
The early Burner gets the bacon sarnie
Participation speaks louder than words
Build your camp while the sun does not shine
Only mad dogs and Brit Campers wear fake fur in the midday sun
Do not party until the dust storm passes
Never judge a Burner by their costume
MOOP not dropped never has to be picked up
Ice today water tomorrow
Every Playa has it's wet patch
Many a good gift is given without intention
A searched for porta-potty is never found
1-ply folded is the same as 2-ply
A pill in the mouth is worth two in the dealer's pocket

    You can get the man off the playa, but you can't get the playa off the man.
    cheers Roamer!

      BM...
      here today... gone tomorrow.


      You can take the Burner off the playa... but you can't get the playa off any of your shit.

      Everything tastes better when you're hungry or on the playa.

      You can sleep when you get home.

    A fool and his bicycle are soon parted.

    A friend in need is a hippie indeed.

    A woman's costume is never done.

    Absinthe makes the heart go yonder.

    After a dust storm comes the calm.

    A shade structure is no stronger than its weakest link.

    • A gallon of water a day keeps the doctor away
    • Look before you trip on rebar
    • Make camp while the sun shines.
    • A fool and his ticket are soon parted.
    • Don't put all your eggs in one cooler
    • It never rains, but it pours.
    • All we are is just dust in the wind.
    • Look after number two (I think that's a reference to the potties)
    • A stitch in time saves nine hundred.
    • One man's loss is another man's MOOP
    • Spank the other cheek
    • All roads lead to center camp.
    • Where there's a will there's a disclaimer
    • Do not despise the snake for having no horns, for one day it may become a dragon.

      Let burners be burners.

      Let sleeping burners lie.

      Live and burn.

      Burn and let burn.

      Then, of course: Live and let burn.

        Into every life a little dust must fall.

        The dust is always lighter on the other camp.

        There is more than one way to spank a virgin.

        United we burn, divided we fall.

        You can't tell a burner by their costume.

        You can't have your bacon and eat it too... unless you share with the blue naked guy who just rolled up on a motorized bunny and offered you an egg salad sandwich.

        Hah!

            Thanks Lily :) Now I'm considering making stickers and handing them out to the greeters!

            Oh wait, greeters aren't supposed to be spanking people anymore... you won't tell on me, will you? ;)

    A woman's costume is never done
    A woman's place is in the (thunder) dome
    A burner and his girlfriend are soon Poly
    All that glitters is not glitter
    As ye sew, so shall ye reap playa-fabulousness
    Burners of a feather MOOP together
    Late to bed and early to rise, makes a burner happy, loopy and fried
    Larry helps those who create themselves
    Good bacon makes good neighbors
    It is no use crying over spilled E
    Never look a gift art car under the hood
    Old Burners never die, they simply complain away
    One burner's loss is another burner's ground score
    Those who live in glass art cars should not drive stoned
    United we burn, divided we freak
