read through the thread for the first time ever and seeing all the Lou posts and photos really hurt tbh  

 

but besides that, it looks like a really good time and if I was a drinker or partier I would def do it.. but I'm just plain vanilla so something like this wouldn't be a good experience for me  

 

hopefully one day Hank gets to go cause I know he really wants to one day, so whoever is in charge of secret invites hopefully you read this  

Your thoughts about Lou don't fall on deaf ears. We think about him all the time and miss the guy a ton. 

Here's a video capturing the opening ceremony at BM IV to honor Lou, courtesy of @SammieSmith33 and performed by @Leonardite and The Grand Conjurer: 

As far as a 2024 experience, there have been rumblings at best. If it is decided, the experience will reveal itself here in due time for all to see.

Burning Mort 5 early outlook

 

Keys to Beef’s Success:

 

1. Don’t touch the drums.

2. Don’t smoke anything.

 

Thanks guys. I had so much fun, even when my incessant drumming cost my troupe’s chances and I smoked myself into the upside-down.

 

Sincerely,

 

Beef Juice (3-time last place king)

Your drumming may have cost you the win, but you're #1 in our hearts. The fact alone that you've made 3 of these things via 8 hour one-way drives is a feat no other has dared to attempt. Also, your Fireside Chat rally after your chair "lost it's balance" was quite impressive. 

In summary: Don't touch the drums

A perfect day surrounded by perfect people.

You should have dropped a line. I had it all just sitting in a briefcase in my office.

 

We knew/figured as much, but I'll let you and the audience answer this for yourselves:

Would you rather:

A.) Have a TV, NES and Tecmo prepped and ready for your gaming pleasure at a medium-to-dimly lit drinking establishment with $5 tall boys as soon as you walk in the joint ...or...

B.) Have a machete to hack through thorns, burning bush and spiderwebs through the course of 3 days with no water with just a map and a compass only to unearth a treasure chest with a mysteriously powered NES, TV, Tecmo, and keg of cold Good Ass Beer. 

I can tell you which choice team ND prefers. 

Whoa.

I tried to piece this forum puzzle together on the waybackmachine and I was missing lots of very crucial posts and information about the experience. 

I am eternally in debt. 

The Conjurer is NOT pleased. In fact, this Covid debacle has put a crimp in his otherwise freewheeling lifestyle. 

By this point, it is pretty obvious, but Burning Mort is sitting out 2020. It's really a shame, because we were just thinking about getting together this week to start planning the damn thing. 

BM will be back in 2021.

Block off the whole goddamn year on your calendars.

I'm not committed to saying I'm out yet. But my autoimmune compromised ass is definitely listed as "Doubtful" for this event unfortunately.

We're going to have a meeting of the minds shortly, but a "Postponed -- TBA" announcement is likely. Playing Russian Roulette with the most robust Tecmo players to walk the face of the earth seems foolish.

Who would the next generation look to for Tecmo experience guidance? How would beer hat supply chains survive? The list goes on.

The CDC has recently published guidance for outdoor events. 

The Burning Mort Board of Directors is waiting for the recommendation on outdoor experiences. 

Please wait patiently. In the meantime, please seek @red98sethuthut for any motor skill numbing advice to prepare.

Burning Mort Coronavirus Update: 

The good thing is, we won't have to worry about making any Corona related Burning Mort decisions now, because we won't start planning BMIV until the week of BMIV. 

Stay tuned.

Get to Chicago and take the train to Fargo with me. It'll be a 13 hour pregame.

I'm thinking about taking a plane to Chicago so I can ride the train back to Fargo for this pregame experience.

Showtime!

Burning Mort continues the tradition of two on, one off to bedazzle attendees once again!

Thoughts on having Burning Mort four times per year?

• Heading out to the Mortlands I drive through the first of the rainstorms for the day. I stop in Casselton for gas and see this place across the street:
• That place looks amazing. I wanna drink there next time.

(to be continued...)

We can arrange drinks at this establishment next time. Might be a prime location for the meet and greet players party. 

Also, this "to be continued..." business had me primed and ready. Hope I don't use the entire bottle before the second half is published. 

I really can't say enough about the people that came from all over to this ridiculous thing. I would take a grazing bullet to the calf for all the people that finished BM, even @ImFlo. However, the real heroes are the Conjurer (there is only one), the band Low Speed Chase, and my amazing Mom, who made 25 lbs. of pulled pork that was completely gone by sunrise.

Beef had his chance to change his moniker to another type of animal flesh, but he stayed with the red meat.

@Beef Juice was my player hero of Burning Mort. That 40-year-old man traveled by car solo from Iowa, embraced the experience both days, had his teammates quit because they couldn't handle the copious amounts of drink, then continued to soldier on through every round with vigor. True BM competitor. 

There are shimmering moments for each and every person that came to the experience. I'd like to share a few of the phrases or action items from people at BM that I jotted down the days after. These may or may not be exact, but pretty sure my mind was lucid as could be. 

• @Leonardite, after BM commenced and looking at the effigy -- "I mean, don't you think we should burn the cock?"
• Beef Juice, after his teammates ghosted him after round 2 -- "Beef for one?"
• @segathonsov, after the NBA Jam Cabinet was revealed in the enclosed trailer throws his arms in the air and states, "How do they know my dreams before I do?" 
• Josh 2.0, when playing the final round to bring home the BM championship -- "Fuck this fucking dildo, man. I mean, seriously. Fuck this thing."
• @averagetsbplayer, arrived completely drunk off the plane from wherever he was coming in from to meet us the night before BM, then asking randoms in the street at 2am -- "Hey you. Is it pronounced FarGO, or FarJOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?
• Flo, during the 4 hours of setup time it took for the BM crew to get ready, painted some "happy little trophies" sitting next to the beer kegs while the breeze blew through his hair. Those trophies are the shit, by the way. Then, after the final ceremonies and yours truly taking home two of the trophies, he stated, "You selfish prick."
• The Conjurer, after eating his 8th pork sandwich, "This pork fucks."
• Tucker came in after another engagement to join the experience in the afternoon, autojoined Team Beef, then started to drink heavily. After the closing ceremonies he states, "Now let's get drunk!"
• @DionBoespflug, when looking at the 12 different types of fruit phalli before BM grabs one and says, "This is a nice, earthy dick."
• @SammieSmith33, coined the PCB (People's Champ's Brother) at BM, deserves every accolade in the book. His gymnastic/Russian hybrid high-kicks during LSC were inspiring. During the blindfold round, he got real close and whispered soft, sweet nothings into my ear while I was playing, one time saying, "Right in the A works every time."
• @sonofpatbeach, during the Mortgasm round, "Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Get ready! I can feel one coming on!"

Burning Mort week is like Christmas, Chanukah, Chinese New Year, Winter Solstice, Kwanzaa and Bodhi Day wrapped into one.

I'm so very excited for BMIV. There are still some tricks left that we haven't performed and some themes yet to unearth. We can only hope they please the Conjurer.

The Monday after Burning Mort is always a great disappointment. When will BM finally be recognized as the national holiday it deserves to be? 

Fuck it. Here's some pics.

So are we convening at Pounds this evening?

Switching it up to start this year. Starting the festivities at Pixeled Brewery.

This kind of in-depth face comparison is fucking amazing. You are the @bruddog of face recognition. 

It's time to shake off the cobwebs.

Since the last Burning Mort there have been multiple wars within the Tecmo community and we even lost Tecmo Madison hopefully for only 1 year.  I'm happy there will be a BM3 but i'm concerned that with the lack of Tecmo it may not be enough to appease the Tecmo Gods... You do have some sort of sacrifice to offer the Tecmo Gods at least right?

If I ate poontang for breakfast, lunch and supper (not that I don't), my taste buds would grow weary.

Such is the dilemma with the Tecmo gods and the game of Tecmo. 

It's time to explore other areas, if you follow my analogy.

Something for the crowd. 

Revised definitions of terms the Tecmo world should be aware of in preparation for BM III:

JJ = Jungle Juice

Juicing = Drinking Jungle Juice

Lurch = Slurping Jungle Juice
