Breaking Theme News!

Post by theCryptofishist » Sat Feb 02, 2008 7:52 pm

Larry woke up this morning, saw his shadow, and in the harsh daylight realized that this year’s theme was wildly unpopular. So now he has resolved to change it.

New Theme 2008: Pizza! Pizza is an all-American food, yet also an international food. Pizza is almost universally loved, as this theme will be. Pizza is as simple or as complicated as you want it to be. Pizza goes well with PRB.

Yeah Pizza!

The man will stand atop a Ford Pinto, and--through the magic of sequential neon--when he raises his arms on burn night, he will start tossing a crust.

Due to the short time that Larry has been working on this theme, this is merely a preliminary list of street names:
Anchovy
Bell Pepper
Canadian Bacon
Diced Pineapple
Extra Cheese
Formaggi
Garlic
Ham
Italian Sausage
Jalapenos
Mushrooms
Onions
Pepperoni
The Lady with a Lamprey

Yes, "Getting Drunk And Burning Stuff" is the clear choice, certainly the finest theme idea ever.

OK, the street names:

Absolut
Black Velvet
Cognac
DRUNK
El Charro
Finlandia
Gordon's
Hennessey
Imperial
Jim Beam
Kessler
Liquor

It also happens to be the theme each and every year.

The whole theme stuff is pretty much "Make Larry think he's important."






IMHO

Good gracious undeclared... I do believe you have nailed it!

Getting drunk and burning stuff and then eating pizza.

Best of all, we already have BBQ grill frozen pizza cooking instructions posted in tips and tricks.

Better yet was having the Random Pizza Experience across the street from the Booby Bar last year.

Yeah, can't forget that part.


On the other hand, the city already looks like a giant pizza with a few slices missing from the air.

i think it was 97', or maybe 98', it gets blurry after all the aluminum foil pipes i've used over the years....what was i saying?

oh yeah, some guy put a domino's delivery sign on top of his station wagon and would drive around trolling for idiots who actually believed they delivered to the playa.

i of course, was one of them......after 3 days of cliff bars i NEEDED something hot and greasy...

(DONT say it)

anyway, i like pizza, but the BMORG is pushing Thai, so, we'll see....

Hmmm...it seems redundant to be in America and be at an "American Dream" themed event. America's been done before, front to back, and all the things I don't know about it I can read in history books or just Google for current events. Why not "International Dream" or "Universe Dream" or even "Ireland, Sri Lanka, or Canadian Dream?". "Dream Dream?" Some theme that will change my insight/perspective about geographical locations, and include (or not exclude) the other 350+ countries that appear to be on this planet we all call Earth. FUCKING JACKPOT! I don't care what they call it, I'm going to BM 08': "Earth Dream" this year...
