Kitty Litter Camp.

*sniffs air then starts scratching a hole in the dirt*

Silly naked apes and their Port-O-Potties.

*stops and stares straight into everyone's eyes*

I peed on your glow stick. And your costume.

*starts doing their business*

Because I can... I expect this to be scooped once I'm done.
We're just the ccuuutttteeee harbingers of death. Please cudd

The position is usually a rotating one. Many deserve the title but few serve.

The Freak Kingship is like President of the US: Those most fit to serve are peremptorily precluded from doing so. Like with Jury duty.

Polka Theme Camp. I'm there!

One day Cleveland Style, and of course, Mexican Polka Day and Bohemian too. And Brave Combo gets a day of their own.

Torture Camp

See how much it will take for you to admit to a felony you didn't commit to an attending LEO.

Score is calculated as:

(N+1) * ( D / M )

Where:

N = Number of previous felony convictions
D = Duration of torture in hours
M = Maximum possible sentace in years (death = 1000)

"The Opiate of the Masses"

Strrets: Agnosticism, Buddhism, Catholicism or Christianity, Dharma, Evangelism, Fanaticism, Gnosticism, Hermetic, Islam, Judaism, you get the idea...

Wev could also integrate a drug with a religion, whichever fits:

Acid Agnostics, Benzadrine Buddhists, Crack Christians, Dope Dharma, "E" Evangelists, Hash Hermetics, well, you get it too...

This is a great theme paying homage to Karl Marx and the wonderful religions and pharmaceuticals we've invented. How can you go wrong: anti-capitalism, religious irreverence and drug reverence?

Anyone want to add theme camps and art project ideas to this proposal?

Bet we can pitch it to BMORG for next year.

Everyone knows that "pitching to the org"is a surefire way to make your theme idea not "manifest."

"Ditch the Org" theme? Anything the Org says to do, do the opposite?

Badger, thank you for being so concerned about the state of my mental health. I appreciate the concern but really, it's not necessary to try and offer a remote diagnosis of a man that you haven't seen in person for 2 years, and that all you have to work from is online posts that don't directly touch on the issues you are so interested in. That's a huge professional stretch to make a diagnosis like that. But damn, to show such genuine concern that you're willing to go to all that trouble to diagnose me...I'm flattered. I really am.

But you need to stop....the burn is only a couple of weeks away and I don't want to see you expend any time stalking and analyzing my every post when you should be focusing on getting ready for the event. So please, don't worry about me. Other than the daily blood loss, fatigue, and other problems I'm doing just fine.
