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

Absolutely brilliant!
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...

Bubba Baba says: One should not open a can of worms with a chainsaw (and then goes on to acknowledge that sometimes one doesn't realze that fact until moments later). Pilot Baba was unavailable for comment. I, for one, have enjoyed your words and photographs. In perusing your website, it's obvious t...

This is one of the most profound treatises I've read on the Burning Man experience to date (and there are some great ones out there!). The musings that delve into the cultural and sociological aspects of the experience and how they compare or differ from those we experience in everyday life are food...

Of course the converse to this is also true. I'm knocking on the door of my sixth decade, yet am totally comfortable participating in the Burning Man scene, both environmentally and socially. It would be me taking my adult children (mid-twenties) to BM! But then I came out of the 60's and over the y...

(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...
