Wow...I had NO IDEA about half of this stuff. Not only does the commerce camel have his nose under the wall of the tent...he pretty much came right on in. Again...this is interesting to know about!

I bet funnel cakes have lots of salt and other stuff (read electrolytes)............

Mmmmm... hot chocolate and a funnel cake at 2am sounds pretty freakin good in my book.

I dunno, I'd pay four bucks for one too. Can you find a funnel cake supplier who will take an oath of secrecy?

(Press release: ..night-time temperatures on the playa can drop to 40 degrees. The combination of carbohydrates and polyunsaturated fats in our funnel cakes can keep burners tummies warm and their booties shaking until the deadly hot sun rises again.)

however, i am a FUNctioning dysFUNctional in a deep FUNk because i refuse to FUNdamentally accept their definition of Normal.

i blame the hedge FUNds.

I always thought decommodification was about getting us out of mod cons and into portapottys?

defaultia: Money is Toilet Paper
BRC: Toilet Paper is Money.

on the last days of the event, a fresh roll of one-ply can be priceless.

and quite frankly, you cant buy Love or a really good healthy crap.

regularity, in one sense, is a gift unto it's own on the playa...

i'm not shitting you, either.
