Is This the greatest Eplayan Snark Thread ever? or Just a Tribute?

[TT120]

Saw Wheat! Another DJ. I was getting worried that we might be running out.

[theCryptofishist]

Ah. Justify your on-playa existence to me for a vehicle pass.

[Drawingablank]

I just couldn't wait for page two, but then again there was an actual serious answer or two in there first.

[pink]

Jeez, had a bit too much to drink tonight? I can't believe you are still ranting about the vehicle passes..

[Eric]

The young persons version of The Bucket List: The Festival List. Somehow the sound of that makes me want to shower...

[theCryptofishist]

Yeah, pretty much.

I'm about ready to spread Daft Punk rumors. Too bad I have a) no social skills to "sell" it, and b) no knowledge of youth culture on which to base the bait...

[tamarakay]

Or, we spread the word that daft punk is boycotting BM for spiritual reasons and maybe they will all go away?

[TT120]

I heard Pink Floyd was playing the trash fence this year.

[theCryptofishist]

Ah yes, they've adapted the Wall...

[ygmir]

entitlement bugs me.

[TT120]

Ah yes, they've adapted the Wall...

They know how many holes it takes to fill the fence.

[Simon of the Playa]
