As far as the project goes, three nuts is enough, Id add more pubic hair.
I say a few more testes, you can't have enough balls in this world
Its pointless to add more balls, I already have the largest. in fact they are so large - they have their own gravitational field.
so, does that make your bungholio a true black hole? Or just a gateway to another time and place?

How about a playa wide game of lawn darts, using javelin sized darts launched by trebuchets? :P

THAT'S WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT !!!

that is, as long as we can have pulsejet powered tall bikes jousting with flamethrowers and romancandles done in the nude as distractions between the circus rings that are used for scoring.

I've seen better canoes.

:twisted:
LOL.
There's shitloads of mutation involved in making a boat still look like a boat yet drive on the desert!
The cupcake cars look like cupcakes... not cars. Flash and Tom Kennedy's huge Whale looked like a whale... not a car. La Contessa looked like a ship... not a car. Possibly the best mutant vehicle ever, the Tub-A-Hurl, looks just like a hot tub. The more they look like anything else but a car, the better.

Name almost ANYTHING, and it's been done. No one's done a boat the way I did. But the best one was Reverend Gadget's (from AEZ). It also had no car under it, and was entirely solar powered, and banked steeply in turns like a real boat. The front wheel was mounted eccentrically so it felt like you were crossing waves as you drove. Sure you could clearly see the rear wheels/electric motor/battery unit on the back, but it WAS an outboard! I drove it a bunch, it was awesome.

That was original.

you dont need scoring rings if you use the tall bike jousters as targets.

But the keywords are was original.

Now someone is probably out there looking at the design and thinking about copying it.

And covering it in ties........ or something. :roll:

I understand that it has mostly already been done in regards to MVs, but there is a whole world of ideas to be had out there, from theme camps to installed art and events, yet no one seems to be coming up with anything NEW.

It just seems like the same old same old at this point.

WHERE IS THE ORIGINALITY ??????

Yeah, in fact that one was gonna be a show-stopper! What happened to that was time and money.
Planes have been done, I even did a simple one in '01, but the 4-seater, 8-feet-up, barrel-rolling playa plane would be great.
Hey One-Eye, wanna help fund/build/store/transport it?
