Burningman is the biggest faked event since the Moon landing.

I don't even leave my house. HOurs of Skype conferences making up and rehearsing our stories. Nobody builds those mvs, we just photoshop them. And I tell you, next year I hope I draw the "meet a cutie and have mad passionate empty sex" card for a change.
Unless.....Unless....it only exists in Second Life. Nahhhhhhhh, it couldn't, could it? Why that would mean my summer vacation was just an illusion. Damn! That was some good acid! :lol:

See, a drain on the entire event. I go counter-clockwise as I suck down the counter culture, sending it into the earth's plumbing.

I'm still trying to decide if I am a figment of someone else's imagination or not... ...if so, that person desperately needs counseling!

Speaking as someone who has to, at least occasionally, clean the toilets, I prefer the flushed variety to the unflushed. (I suppose it is too much to hope that the noro-virus has left the campus during my days off...)

For the last couple years my contribution to the event has been to stay home. Maybe next time I go, I will gift everyone the flu...

Careful, your track record for being correct is not the most accurate.

Yes, and I really have to question anyone who names himself after not just one, but TWO gods for his moniker on a BurningMan bbs...


Narcissism? Egoiste? or Nouveau Riche?


AIIZ, i suggest you tone down the meds a bit, the serotonin levels seem a tad too high,so feel free to stop by for a neural adjustment, we can do the non-invasive electronic thing now, you wont even feel it.


how's that for participating?

Woo Hoo!!!

I'll go warm up my Lifepack 12 now :D Should we start with 200 joules, or just go straight to 360? We can skip the pre-medication as well :lol:

Burner. Participant. Citizen.

No need to fish for approval. After all, I am but a spectator (noob) on le catty eplaya.

But it must be said, I was stoked for a moment when I thought that Waldo had gone gangstAr. Poo on ye who spoiled it.

Yeah, but the truly burny dogs belong to DPW and eat hippie.

Damn, I almost used DMV instead. That[/] would have been social suicide.
