... wow. No idea.

Just my opinion -of course- but I thought they (the BLM rangers) sucked.

I believe I stated this before but my view of it was bears at a salmon stream. Eat up, easy pickings.

Whatever you might be celebrating this holiday season, the best to you.

And, of course, have a healthy, happy, burning 2005.

Oh, and if you have a decorative, ceremonial tree please to be safe and avoid torching your home. ;~)

Sincerely,
burning tent (no my real name)

How the city is put together, taken apart, stored, etc., was something I was thinking about every time I trekked through and around it. It must be a massive undertaking. P.S. I hope you didn't change your avatar due to my comment on how hot the old one was. (Yes, it's all about me. ;~) No creepy off...

Hi, I'm a student at Carleton U in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I'm doing a project on "The Burning Man" and would like to throw out a few questions to those of you who have attended: Hello ... ehhhh. ;~) 1) What are the major ways that Burning Man differs from typical western society? i.e. no commerci...

Still. Whenever I put on "those" shoes and cinch the knot I get a little puff of thou sacred playa.

Busted flat in Black Rock, hearing a train And I's feeling nearly as dehydrated as my jerky My diesel pickup broke down just before it rained It rode me all the way from Berkeley I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red undies I was playing with myself softly while the whiteout covered my shoes Vase...

Is no so bad. When I see TP I too think of BM.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen! That's the Rainbow Room, 5-7 p.m., Tuesdays and Thursdays!

It's really amazing to read some of Kominsky-Crumbs work where she's talking about how she grew up obsessing about how her butt was too big. And when you look at pics of both of them and compare to self portraits and portraits of each other. . . It's astonishing what talent can accomplish in simult...

I'm blown away.

I would like to thank all the little people for participating and making this happen.

A jolly burn to everyone and to everyone a burning night.

But on my life I recently saw a woman who looked like she walked straight out of one of his comics. The only thing missing was Mr. Natural pinching her behind ... a behind that had somehow been crow-barred into a pair of shorts seven sizes too small. I would say she looked most like the one in the t...

I toldddddd you ... fluffy stuff in dreams and-and-and white stuff in creams ... crash, burn, broken spleen?

... hello?

Acchh, bite me.

All meaning is arbitrary anyway... connect a symbol to it, and all you have is the symbol. The thing is the thing. Experience it, don't experience it, it remains the same. If it is simply the symbolic representation (written or verbalized memory) you have reduced the thing in your perception. Huh ....

Hey, man, you don't get it. ;~)

This *this* was going to be the post that took me to the Promised Land of 1,000 views, 60 or so responses and maybe that star thing.

It seemingly had so much going for it, yet, in retrospect, so little.

... acchh, back to sonovbitch drawing board.

OK, so what is "it"? That crazy shit. This Burning Man thing. What does it all mean? OK-OK, I'll tell you ... (Why? ---Why not?? Ohhhh, so you think your post was worth reading??!?) ... one sec ... all right ... ohhh, won't you rhyme with me? The "it" is: >The fluffy stuff in your dreams, the white ...

I'm just bummed you broke character to thank mowgli. :lol: Sonovbitch! This is what politeness gets you. mowgli if I ever meet you I'm immediately poking you in the eye with a dirty stick. Or, if it appears you would give me a proper thrashing, I will simply say nice to make your acquaintance, sir....

mowgli wrote:What A thorough response.

Thanks, man. I really tried to put in the effort on that one.

Participation ... good.

My experience was just the opposite.... My husband choose mid-week to tell me he didn't want to be married anymore....then had the balls to ask me to continue to have a great time with him the rest of the week. (which we did) Your experience has it's merits-mine does not. I still managed to have an...

Well, big things are coming down the pike for burning tent (not my real name). The dog and I have finally decided to tie the knot. What? I kid ... not that she isn't hot. The real big thing is I finally came up with an answer to my exhaustive research. I don't know, it was just an epiphany, a bolt o...

If you ever find this thing please let me know. I wouldn't mind checking it out. I sat there for an hour or whatever as part of one of the breasts.

... ahh, good times.

So, like, I'm a senior in high school and delivering pizzas for Poppa Romano's ... those bastards at Popeye's didn't call until the very day I was loading up my car to leave for college ... I get to this one condo and the woman is just hopping mad that I'm soooooo late. It was my first night on the ...

Yes she was only one of many beautiful women I saw on the playa but the image of her will always remain dear to my heart.? Curly: I just turned around and rode away. Mitch: Why? Curly: I figured it wasn't going to get any better than that. Mitch: Yeah, but you could have been, you know, with her. C...

A bronze pendant necklace thing. Nothing on one side and the likeness of the man and "2004" on the other side. Not too big either.

I like it a lot and have worn it a few times since getting back.

I had a very good friend who was into the Forum. He would proselytize. Not to a sickening degree but enough to question where his smile was coming from. He was a very good guy though and I liked him a lot. I forget exactly how he got me to go to an introductory meeting ... wait a second ... he harpe...

As clear as the meaning of Burning Man, my friend.

What?! ... er, all right, *crystal* then.

theCryptofishist wrote:What's that you say? The Fishy is getting greedy and doing two songs?

This is an OUTRAGE!

theCryptofishist wrote:this is really the same song--just the happy and sad versions!

I seeeeee.

theCryptofishist wrote:And the Fishy is above reproach!

Well, this changes everything. ;~)

One song. I left thou sacred Playa at night with the dust wafting from a long line of cars. The first song I heard in its entirety was: "In The Evening" You know, when the day is done, by that techno group Led Zeppelin. It may or may not encompass the "it" of Burning Man but it worked for me. >Oh wh...

I *think* it was actually an MV that looked like a ship. and when I heard that "Train" on the playa ~just for an instant ~ I was struck by how close the tracks were....uh duh... You did better than me. I wanted to go check it out -watch the pretty train- and if it wasn't for that impenetrable three-...
