Nah, not really. I generally despise 'hippy' culture or whatever the fuck, but burning man was definetely the most bizzare experience I've ever taken part in. You've just got to be there to understand.

It's a regional thing though. Everyone's got their weird things that make the rest of the country go, WTF?!?!? My cousins in Wisconsin got the first day of hunting season off each year.

Yeah, but nobody's up in arms over that, or calling the parents of those kids "selfishly idiotic," even though if they didn't get that day off, many of those parents would react in much the same manner as this Burning Man contingent.

Double standard much?

Woah, I truly thought that there was no one in California under the age of 50 that used the word "burners". HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA....are you seriously referring to drug users?

"Burners" = Burning Man attendees/fanatics/freaks.

Ohhh, well now, that makes much more sense. MoralityDies likes to make fun of me by calling me a burner and a doper and I always thought that was so Texas.

See, I'm totally down with the kids today. The kids still go to tea pads and smoke jive, right?

Ohhh ... I wanna smoke some jive!

I must meet you. You have entertained me.

Damn! Haven't heard people refer to it as jive since my reading group read Really the Blues by Mezz Mezzrow. My old band used to do "Here Comet the Man with the Jive" and "All the Jive is Gone." Hmm. Maybe I should rework them while I'm planning NOT to go to this Burning Man Festival. Didn't Bradbury write The Burning Man?
