Would a girl bimbo be a gimbo?

Male bimbo.

What is a himbo? Is that a male bimbo? A fusion of hippy and bimbo? or a typo for bimbo?

yet such types seem to laugh it off and in crazyBrain, it somehow morphs into some isotope of "self-reliance" yuck yet they always have legions of babes and himbos chasing them in heat. that part i'll *never* decipher.

When you go through life like that it just makes people not trust you.

In other words, "it's easier to ask forgiveness than to ask permission." ... but it still sucks.

Chains, I don't know you, and I hope you are trying to be funny. But I have to say, it's not funny. For people who went to Elysium after spending $75-90 bucks a pop, spent a significant amount of money on gas, food, supplies, only to have ripped off while enjoying the festivities, is a pisser! And to think that some Burners think this acceptable...tolerable? WTF! Let me come over to your house, we'll party, and when you are out taking a shower, I'll just look into your wallet and raid it of all it's dollars. After all, money is the root of ALL evil. Isn't that what they say?

Depends on the food, if it was meat or not, cause that stuff is bad for you too. So really unless someone is stealing celery they're doing you a favor. All this fuss over nothing...

"Drinking's bad for you, maybe it's your guardian angels taking away your alcohol." Mebbe, but what about when it's your food they are taking? Huh Chains, what then? Can't be that they are too fat, because some of these people are way skinny.

I feel the same way The thing is that in many cases if you ask , people are willing to share. And just because you asked me an hour ago if you could get something from my cooler does not give you free reign over it for the rest of the day either.

"Also if you know who stole it tell them you want payment, why bitch to the world about it?" If you knew MrE, you'd know he's not afraid of confrontation, even directly. Clearly, this is a bit more than the inconvenience of a few missing salami. Yes, you can get restitution from people after the fact, but as anyone can tell you who prefers to "beg forgiveness rather than ask permission", that's hardly a deterrent. And what can't be gotten back is the ruined event. If you're out in the desert, you MUST hydrate to survive. A cooler getting raided could mean leaving the party early just to avoid heatstroke. And in a multi-day event, the loss of food and whatnot can shut you down early too. But forget that. Every once in a while I like to have a bottle of something I intend to share. Yes, sometimes a bottle of Crystal, sometimes a $10 bottle of wine that can only be found in one little fruit stand in Gilroy, and sometimes it has to be smuggled out of ireland. Either way, part of what I like to give at the party is gone. And a dozen or more folks lose out on a unique experience. In this case cooler raiding takes a lot more than a cheap buzz. How are you supposed to collect for that? You cant. So you stand on a soapbox and hope enough people get incensed about it to start breaking kneecaps of the people who perpetrate it (or thereabouts).

Yeah we learned the hard way having our ENTIRE cooler stolen a few years back.. Nothing like going out dancing and coming back to camp for a nice cold one and everything is gone! Even our food for the next day. It was a humbling experience but we put our names in big letters on everything and keep the really good stuff hidden and or locked away.. It's sad to think people we can trust turn out to not be trustworthy.. Not all people who attend events are schooled on the proper etiquette. Thanks Mr. E for putting it out there again. And if you are really thirsty or in need of food or drink..... JUST ASK!

Hide a bear trap under the top layer of ice. If they want to sew their hand back on afterwards, at least it will have been properly kept on ice. :)

Keep only cheap stuff in your cooler. If you have $50 wine, Johnny Walker Blue or Green label or $5/bottle beer put that in your tent.

"(Back me up, here, peeps!)" I'm not supposed to say how I feel because certain people think my way of expressing myself is not nice and one of those certain someone's bestest friends did this exact thing in our camp at LIB last year (I guess she didn't see us sitting nearby). So, instead I'll just pretend this is Facebook and say "I like" and give you the closest thing I can to a little thumbs up. :-)

your "friends" aren't alone in their thinking I'm afraid... look how many private bikes are stolen every year. and then there's the tagging. "Respect" seems to be dying a death of a thousand cuts, on the playa and elsewhere in our world. I'll get off my soapbox now before this ends up as a manifesto...

Thanks Mr. E. I had no idea that this was going on - I guess I'm lucky and they missed my camp. Their karma will run them over before long.

I know I'm cross-posting all over the place, but I’m angry and disappointed with my/our friends and I want your support so these individuals can examine and hopefully correct their behavior and thinking. You are thieves of the worst kind. You are stealing from your friends, whom you often refer to as family, or at the very least your community. It is not cool, not acceptable, and I will expose you publicly to the wrath of the community if I catch you or hear you talking about it again. Furthermore, if any of my friend’s coolers get raided in the future, I will lead them to you, so you better not have anyone else's stuff in your possession. I had conversations with two different individuals whom I know and previously respected. I have lost respect for both of you. You know who you are. I was shocked at how casually you mentioned that you were going to go and steal from my/our friends. One of you said that buying a ticket and bringing some stuff and setting up a camp and providing a space entitles you to do “whatever the fuck I want”. Are you fucking KIDDING me? Paying for a ticket to an event and bringing some beer and setting up a camp does NOT entitle you to do whatever the fuck you want. I was totally disgusted and deeply offended that you thought I'd condone such behavior. I debated exposing you publicly at Elysium, and again in this post, but decided I'd give you the benefit of the doubt now that you're sober and can consider the principle of Respect. You guys aren’t new either. You should know better. Respect is a cornerstone of our community, without it we’re no better than a bunch of frat boys on Spring Break. I don't know how or why you would get the idea that cooler raiding is fun or cool or acceptable, but I'm fairly certain that I speak for the vast majority of this community (Back me up, here, peeps!) when I say you need to get your heads on straight. There’s no excuse, there’s no explanation, you’re just wrong. Respect your family; respect your friends; respect your community. Please. Thus endeth the rant. You guys are my friends and we've all done stupid things. I’m going to let it go and assume that this post will be enough for you to examine your behavior, please don’t make an ass of you or me.
