Yep - you could make a fortune policing brass at the range over by frog pond........
Okay, are you Mojo without your log-in, or are you a sock pretending to be Mojo?

It's a little disconcerting...

Disconsursion is not pain. I'm happy to see you, in fact, just that little bit confused when I look away from the picture to see your name.

You left out the fact that many of us were watching a Full Lunar Eclipse when the Man was arsonized.
I arrived that day on the playa after waking up at 4 in the morning to catch a plane to reno. i knew the full lunar eclipse was going to happen around 1 in the morning so i stayed up to see it. Taking into account the time change from the east coast, I was up 24 hours.

The next morning a friend of mine said he "saw the man burn". I thought HE was hallucinating.

Truisim: Every camp has at least one archtypical "Breakfast Club Member", be they nerd, jock, princess, Rebel, or freak. and In a really dysfunctional Camp some ADHD is off their meds trying to play each role simultaneously.

wouldn't the combined personalities cancel each other out to make a fairly "normal" type personality in appearance??

I'm in touch with my inner "nerd" today. :)

Duno! our jock and our freak forced our nerd to fabricate this Truthisim so our Rebel could run off with the princess. and the drunks hanging around our camp are babbling about the deeper meaning of existential life can be found through radical self reliance, or some other such rubbish. and my inner nerd is touching himself agian.

Legend : Daft Punk kicked out some awesome jams in BRC 2009.
