For a second there I was going to suggest "Sherpas burning shit and blowing shit up" and then I stepped back a minute.....

They call those guys Ghurkas. Nepalese badasses from the word go.

For the 10th year in a row I PREDICT (not suggest) that the theme will be Donkey Fucking. So far I have been right 50% of the time.

Theme Suggestion:

The End.

I think this could actually be a good theme. It is nebulous, which a lot of the the best themes are because it leaves a wide swath of possible interpretations. It captures so much that we all fear, or look forward to. The end of a job, or the end of our life, the end of war, the end of peace, the end of a relationship, the end of childhood, the end of the world.
