Is Asking the Question "Is Burningman Dead" Dead?

Post by theCryptofishist » Fri May 28, 2010 10:51 am

How many years?
And so little change, always looking to the nostagic past, like a post-modern Norman Rockwell.
When was the last time, if ever, someone asked that question in a way that actually stirred you to thought instead of induced in you extreame ennui?

Is Burning Man Going to the Zombies?

How’s that for a, is Burning Man Dead question? If it’s like Zombieland…………..fuck ya…….

Maybe a question would be……..What Movies Make You Think of Burning Man?

To which I would have to answer……..Zombieland, The Fifth Element, The Bagdad Café, Perscilla, Queen of the Desert………

it's a bit like having a stinking decomposing corpse in your living room, and the kids keep poking at it and asking you, is it dead?

what gets annoying about the repeated question, is that they're asking the wrong question. they should be asking, when are you going to burry this horrible thing?

Still 40k strong and still counting.

Maybe the question is a dead question.

"Is Burning Man Dead?" is dead!

Long live "Is "Is Burning Man dead?" dead?"!

Are the Dead dead?

I heard the Dead Can Dance.

Am I dead on? or am I just dead tired?

Dead minds want to know.
Excuse me Ma'am, your going to feel a small prick.

The fact this post exists eases my mind about the possibility of burning man being dead.

It's impossible to read all of the responses to all of these posts in these forums. If I spent an extra 78 hours reading, as opposed to my mere 36 hours of reading on eplaya, I may have known not to ponder such redundancy out loud.

Thank You.

Impossible? Then I am Superwoman, for I read all posts daily!!!!

Except the ones in Open Discussion I skim, because I get easily bored.
