Before I went to BMan I thought it seemed all very serious, ceremonial, kind of dark and aggressive.

New Myth?
The Man is designed after a corkscrew...
His Arms and Legs....
...resemble Cocktail Umbrellas.
The Man burns..then falls (or arms falling)...representing the popping of the cork and beginning of the party.

If she was attractive I don't at all doubt that's entirely feasible.ygmir wrote:

I saw the man burn twice (Paul Addis incident) but technically, since they brought in a replacement Man, each one only burned once.

Re: playa lore, legend, myths, and trusims
One MOnday while we were packing up, some very worried people walked by our camp, showed us a picture of a girl and asked if we had seen her. She was bipolar, had gone off her meds for the week, and was last seen running for the trash fence after the Temple burn. I never heard what happened to her.

Re: playa lore, legend, myths, and trusims
I have a story, which isn't mine to tell.
Stay on your meds, everyone, please. And if something does happen to you as a possible result of mixing meds and other chemicals, be honest to the rangers and medics who are trying to help you. They won't tell the cops and you'll have more effective care.
