burning daylight

A film industry slang term. Used as a way to tell actors and crew to hurry up as natural daylight wanes. Since the sun's position and quality changes throughout the day, sunlit shoots can be challenging to match later in editing, so it's important to get scenes done efficiently. This phrase is often used jokingly indoors to spur on the film crew.

Get your rubber masks on and get back into the swamp... we're burning daylight!

Burning Lamb

A nod to the famous Burning Man festival in Nevada, Burning Lamb refers to an massive annual lamb roast held on Saturna Island in BC. Saturna is one of the southern Gulf islands, and this huge BBQ brings many tourists and locals to celebrate Canada's national holiday on the July 1st long weekend. Dozens of local lamb are traditionally roasted outdoors around an open fire. Local food and meat roasting at its best!

I was so full after Burning Lamb I had to pass out on the grass starfish-style.

Burning pile

All my style
All my grace
All I tried to save my face
All my guts, try to spill
All my holes, try to fill
All my money been a long time spent
On my drugs, on my rent
On my saving philosophy
It goes, one in the bank, and the rest for me
It goes, all my troubles on a burning pile
All lit up and I start to smile
If I, catch fire then I change my aim
Throw my troubles at the pearly gates
Oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Oh-oh-oh)
My mama, lonely maid
Got her buns in the oven and she never got laid
My papa, renaissance man
Sailed away and he never came back again
All my troubles on a burning pile
All lit up and I start to smile
If I, catch fire then I change my aim
Throw my troubles at the pearly gates
Oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

All your woe bygones be gone
I said all your troubles, you don't need a thing
All my troubles on a burning pile
All lit up and I start to smile
If I, catch fire then I'll change my aim
Throw my troubles at the world again
It goes, all my troubles on a burning pile
All lit up and I start to smile
If I, catch fire then I'll take my turn
To burn and burn and burn
Ba, ba-ba-ba, ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba, ba, ba, ba, ba
Ba, ba-ba-ba, ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba, ba, ba, ba, ba
Ba, ba-ba-ba, ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba, ba, ba, ba, ba
Ba, ba-ba-ba, ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba, ba, ba, ba, ba
Ba, ba-ba-ba, ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba, ba, ba, ba, ba
Ba, ba-ba-ba, ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba, ba, ba, ba, ba
Ba, ba-ba-ba, ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

Burning Man widow

The spouse, partner, or lover of someone who attends the annual Burning Man event in Black Rock City, NV that happens the week before, and including, Labor Day. As the event approaches, the spouse, partner, or lover feels increasingly abandoned while the crazed Burner becomes consumed with preparation for the event. The Burning Man widow eventually gives up all hope of making contact with the crazed Burner, even though they may live in the same house.

The average Burner can be gone anywhere from three days to three weeks. When the Burner returns, it pees itself blathering on and on about what happened at the Burn, while already making preparations for the following year. The Burning Man widow listens patiently (for the first couple of weeks), while trying to prevent their eyes from glazing over, but eventually becomes indifferent or irritated by the constant mention of the Man. Every conversation is peppered with obscure references to various theme camps, art cars, playa foot, the Temple, and port-a-pottie signage.

Oh boy, I can't wait until next year to hear the Greeters say "Welcome Home"!!!

I can't believe she's already planning for next year--I'm going to be a Burning Man widow AGAIN!
