Pirate Family Values needs Megaphone artists

missroach — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 01:17:32 GMT

Are you a parent who is sick and tired of not being
able to find movies and TV shows that reflect your
values? Do you find the MPAA ratings to be grossly
miscalculated?

We do too, so we're going to do something about it.

The Sacramento Chapter of the American Rabble
Rousers 'Gainst Hardasses (YARGH), in conjunction with
the Concerned (Rightfully) American Pirate Parents
(CRAPP), and the Concerned Pirate Parents of America
(CPPA) invite you to come protest the disappearance of
the American pirate in family entertainment, the
systematic "de-pirating" of what could be
pirate-oriented materials, and the MPAA's grevious
errors in rating too few movies "ARR".

ON MAY 12, we will meet at 2:30 p.m. at the Amtrack
Station in Downtown Sacramento, and the marching
protest shall commence at 3 p.m. sharp.

We will visit various movie theatres along our trek,
and end up on the steps of California's glorious
capital building, as we'll be letting the legislature
know what we stand for.

After our (no doubt successful) campaign upon the
capital, we'll relax back with a pint of Grog at
various establishments, and spread our piratey good
cheer.

Agian:

Who: Parents, Pirates, and any others interested in
our cause

What: Marching on the capital

When: May 12, 2:30 p.m.

Where: Amatrack Station in downtown Sacramento

Why: Because we're sick of our underrepresentation in
media!!!

How: YAR!

What to bring: yourself, walking shoes, you're finest
traditional pirate attire, protest signs, booty for
grog, wenches and a ride home.

Curious pirates can contact Captian Miss Roach of the
Black Mermaid for further details

PLAYA MEGAPHONE USERS: DOWN WITH GREEN MAN! UP WITH MONKEYS!

Monkeys — Mon, 26 Mar 2007 19:24:57 GMT

Greetings,

Due to the discontent many have expressed over the BORG proposed "Green Man" theme, an alternate theme has arisen: Monkeys. Please consider this alternate theme when planning your theme camp's art this year. Much better suited to the users of megaphones.

For more information, visit our web page:
freek.net/burningmonkey07/

You can discuss the alternate theme here on tribe:
tribes.tribe.net/makeminemonkeys

Thanks...love and monkeys to all.

*****A note and Special offer from Linda for Participants*****

This is valid for the rest of this series. The dancer must be competing in the next available contest which includes the finals.

I support dancers in every style to further their artistry and to give themselves the training they deserve. I encourage you all to take private instruction with a qualified teacher (especially a professional performer) as it is the most diligent way of improving your dance.

In the spirit of the dance,
-Linda-

$10 bullhorns @ Harbor Freight

K-BusterFriendly — Mon, 08 Aug 2005 16:37:56 GMT

Harbor Freight and Tools (aka Harbor Wait for Fools) has their 10 watt megaphones on sale for $9.99 until 8/16. If you are familiar with Harbor then you know that these should be considered as disposable bullhorns. It's recommended to call ahead to your local(er) store to make sure they're really in stock before making the trip.

Fuck Yeah Man Camp

zoya — Wed, 19 Jan 2005 20:13:01 GMT

I have a love for the art of you megaphone fuckers . . . but there is one that stands out above all thus far: At Burningman ??? 2002??? there was a camp 2 doors down called Fuck Yeah Man Camp. The camp was a guy and a megaphone and the only words that came out of the megaphone were fuck yeah man. Now, if I read of this premise before choosing my spot, there is no fucking way I would have camped near this megaphone. I must say, this fucker had IT: the art for the megaphone. It was all about timing and circumstance. That was by far my funniest megaphone experience yet. Meow~

My first Megaphone experiences

MChurch — Fri, 07 Jan 2005 08:43:36 GMT

In 95 at BM,a few members of our camp were walking along,video taping stuff and visiting camps and such,and this guy comes out of nowhere carrying an oxygen tank(little one)and a megaphone....we have his arrival on tape...we then proceeded to walk along dispensing oxygen and quips on the megaphone...and as time went on,our quips got more bold and self assured as we discovered the power that is MEGAPHONE.Then,and this is the strange part,it is not on video when it happened,but as suddenly as the bringer of the horn arrived,he had left,vanished as if he were never there,leaving us with this magical tool of annoyance,instructiveness,and just good clean fun.

We assumed someone who had bestowed us with this power must surely be Satan,so we dubbed our bullhorn the "Voice of Satan"...we then used it quite heavily over the rest of the event...and at that point in time,not even sure if there were any other bullhorns on the playa,or if there were,very few....

Ah,the good old days.....

it was a sad day in camp cockaigne when that pus-filled piece of shit sarong parader absconded with our megaphone during a moment of inattention aboard the playa sex castle. was it you, fucker? was it?! because if i find you (and i will (lord knows once your mortal soul tasted the amplified nectar, you committed yourself for the following year)) i will not hesitate to snatch my much-abused megaphone back from your undeserving, pathetic embrace, shove it deep into your ass crack, and unleash the siren until your bowels and entrails empty out onto the alkaline surface of the black rock desert. just like that.

yes, you will know the wrath of a LOUDSPEAKER. And yeah i say unto thee, all LOUDSPEAKERS will know you by voice, because you are not funny and you are unworthy of the amplification.

Moonlit Playa Confessions

Octavian — Wed, 13 Oct 2004 20:56:38 GMT

It was around 11pm, tuesday night, exalted from the recent DMV approval and sticker application on my art car, I decided to take some stranger's offer of strong hallucins. I had already the full intention of weilding the megaphone all night for better or for worse and began an alcoholic vision quest into the heart of darkness that is the esplanade at full tilt.

With that underway, and a full 1.75 of vodka, our noble crew descended upon the unsuspecting, and still nubile, playa people. I unleashed the megaphone with the full fury of a satanic choir, cursing people left and right and then immediately healing them with hilarious tomfoolery. By the time we had crossed over to the other side of the 'nade, having cut across its diameter, I had almost fully blacked out, which is not a common occurence under the influence of hallucins.

Anyways, from there on, I have only the recollections of the eyewitnesses who were present. I had been completely taken over by the spirit of the megaphone, to the extent that there was not room enough left for me and my puny short term memory. I engaged at least two worthy opponents in megaphone standoffs.

One of whom was a girl accompanied by her boyfriend in a full panda suit. At some point he became so offended by the vile filth directed at his grilfriend that he got "all up in my shit", to which his girlfriend responded by turning her megaphone on him and bitching *him* out for getting in the way of her battle. Then we both double teamed him and beat him down into submission to the amusement of anyone standing nearby. This ended somehow, in a big group hug.

Another time, a girl who was impressed by my tremendous bullhorn skills came up to me and requested a slow dance. She was beautiful, again this is only according to my friends' testimonials later, and was wearing a full red lace bodystocking. After our slow dance, during which I must have set the megaphone down, she turned around and presented her ass to me as if she wanted a spanking. Instead of making passionate love to her right then and there, the satan which controlled my mind instead compelled me to pick up the bullhorn and shout point blank into her face "FUUUUUUUUCK YOOOOOOU!" and then I commenced insulting her until she fled.

This is the sort of commitment to belligerence that I believe is expected of a megaphone wielder. We are not out there for profit, to get laid, or other such nonsense. We are there to burn our art. And sometimes that means burning our bridges with would-be friends for the sake of the greater artistic creation. Sometimes it means spurning human relationships, ok? What does it matter if we had fucked?

At this point, someone fed me some E, and this only seemed to further incense me. In my cuddly satanic fervor, I suddenly had the same epiphany that all megaphone-jockeys inevitably experience at some point in their careers: I CAN'T BELIEVE PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY SLEEPING THROUGH THIS!

Making a bee line for the darkened inner streets of BRC, I was shocked to discover that there were some camps, no, MOST camps had their lights turned off and not playing any amplified music whatsoever. It could only have been 2 am by this point.

Sensing that what was really going on was probably some kind of giant well-orchestrated ambush, I unleashed upon the sleepers with such a pre-emptive vengeance that a handful of them dragged themselves out of bed to see the monstrosity that was roaming their nighborhood. Insult after buttery insult slipped from my mouth into the emotional vibraphone, lick after savory lick. In the world of S & M this would have been some kind of peak experience.

Then at the height of my frenzy, the sweet, domesticating love vibe of the E came coursing across the blood brain barrier and from there it was all downhill. Now I began allowing other people to grab the megaphone from me (any veteran knows this just isn't done with strangers). The there began to be long pauses between the insults. Then I began to touch myself. Then there was nothing left but the scratchy, claustrophobic sound of heavy breathing into the megaphone for about half an hour solid until I returned to camp.

The next day I remembered only about half of the previous evening. This is what happens when you are literally possessed by the megaphone demons. It can happen to anyone. I consider myself lucky to have lived through the experience.

Point-'n'-Shoot Sound Makes Waves
http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,50483,00.html

Intertesting possibilities. While not broadcasting to all, you can be very specific about who you broadcast to, over great distances. I read another article about the same technology that said the sound hits you as non-directional, too, so finding the source of it would be difficult. No wonder the military wants it for "psychological warfare".

It would also be nice to hit on gay boys leaving the bars. "Hey baby, ever had your asshole licked by a fat man in an overcoat?" is something that just *needs* to be heard over all that crappy house music being pumped out of the clubs...

"bobby bullhorn" lifted from the Black Rock Boutique '03

astrogirl — Wed, 26 May 2004 07:16:18 GMT

I'm still getting over the loss of my first Bullhorn, Bobby. Bobby was, my friend. He protected people. When the whack crackheads were trying to break into cars, Bobby would be the one to step up, and make them wet themselves. He had a good short life with me. I took him to the playa, it was his first and only trip to Burningman. He was well known around center camp. Oh Bobby, come back to me... Anyone have a spare?

AmanitaDJ — Thu, 18 Mar 2004 20:20:26 GMT

I love megaphones and all of their obnoxious power. You can use them to wake up your neighbors to let them know you "Rock out with your cock out", or let hundreds of people know that you are "not gay" at one time. Singing Sweet Home Alabama off tune over the top of loud trance music at 80db is "Art". I appreciate the elegance of such an obnoxious act, and the courage it takes to set out to annoy. I love megaphones. You should too.

AmanitaDJ — Sat, 03 Jan 2004 03:15:28 GMT

Unless you've been living in a cave for the past few months, you are aware of the megaphone mania that has been gripping the nation like no other fad before it. What is it about megaphones that has captured the public eye as of late? What intrinsic aspect of these sound-amplifying devices is responsible for the enchantment of the populace?

Now you would think that the key feature of a megaphone would be its ability to amplify sound, but in this case you would be mistaken. The key feature of the megaphone is the ability to piss people off and play incredibly loud pre-recorded digital beeps. To help illustrate this point, consider the following dialogue in both regular and megaphone-enhanced modes —

"Hey mailman, thanks for the mail."

Or...

"HEY MAILMAN, THANKS FOR THE MAIL." [Song of "Ice Ice baby" done in electronic boops]

The megaphone is also handy for those difficult break-ups ("YOU BITCH YOU FUCKED MY GRANDPA!"), family moments ("YOU NEVER TOLD DAD TO STOP TOUCHING ME! I HATE YOU!"), and even can be used for artistic purposes — I kicked open my friend's door, yelled through the megaphone, "YOU BITCH YOU FUCKED MY GRANDPA!" and then played the First Noel. Something to think about.

So all in all, get your own megaphone! Be heard! Play "Hava Nagila" til your ears bleed! Word.
