New Bush Admin policy: Privatize the profits but socialize the losses.

Not a bad deal if you can get it! Of course one has to be a member of the gentry class to qualify.

I had never seen this thread before and have since read through most of it. M. Joe Boss, I salute you! Gold medal for you. Badburner, you get a silver medal... share it with M. Joe. Oh, you already are... my bad. I'm somewhat reminded of the Saga of Joe Dirt (see the movie). Brilliant! Absolutely br...

[quote="EB"]Here's the thing. It wasn't exactly a gift. Snipped: An over the top scenario, a few posts above, ending with: But still, I felt fear, like in a western. A stranger in a strange land. And that, my friends, is the best gift I've ever received on the playa.[/quote] And, at this very moment...

Great photographs! Even though I was there the entire week and biked or walked almost everywhere, I'm still amazed at the incredible things that show up in photographs -- things I somehow missed! Thanks for sharing.

(insert thumbs up symbol here) After the first couple of days, I rarely rode at night, choosing instead to walk (blinky lights and headlamp ablaze while on the playa or dark streets) in the coolness. And my camp was out in the nether regions of Hope! As the week went on, I found myself walking more ...

Good points all… However, I think we pass through a rabbit hole of sorts en route to BRC, and once inside, the BM logo naturally becomes concentrated, perhaps to the point of being trite. Still, there are some unique gifts proffered that bear that simple yet indisputable image. For example, I have a...
