Aardvark Buttercup

Haven’t we all babbled about this kind of shit when we’re in a new relationship? Annoying the shit out of people? I know I have.
Forgive me if these posts the next few days are meandering. I went to my first burn in 19 years last weekend, and had a fucking blast. I’m not a “burner” by any stretch, but there’s something about going to a campsite a bajillion miles from anything and dancing and drinking and carousing with a few hundred other freaks.
Still feeling kinda high emotionally.
Oh, Omar. You silly, silly man.
Getting laid clearly has completely scrambled that mess of spaghetti you call a brain.
*compares first 2 panels to 3rd and 4th panels* Eyebrows……….Hmmmm……..I got nothing.
The third panel is their return from orbit, that is where they launched when Omar realized Maria really liked him… she really, really liked him for real, real not for play, play.
Well, for play, play also.
You don’t say, say.
What’s this Burn? I don’t think we get this sort of thing in England but I’m feeling like we’re missing out!
It’s a big party.
Which generally includes a large fire, or many large fires, but most especially includes people being themselves. Exuberantly themselves. To a ridiculous degree.
Much fun! 😀

To wit; the iconic and most celebrated ‘Burn’ event of all:

Possibly to a 2nd or 3rd degree?
I very seriously think that attempting to do a burn in the UK would cause riots and anarchy therein.
Considering what their current festivals look like in the aftermath, can’t be worse:

Might be a more mannerly riot than usual. Worth a try…
“..attempting to do a burn in the UK would cause riots and anarchy therein.” ???
OH PLEASE.

Then there’s this one:

I’m not saying these are in exactly the same spirit as an all-American Burn..but the Brits are no strangers to the concept, which is pretty universal/primal IMO.

As Omar goes striding blindfolded down a short pier…
GO uncle GO! I wish him a success here!
Wait a minute. WHICH Burn? I was at Playa Del Fuego this weekend, but it’s a LOOOOONG-ass way from where you live.
Bam. Mischievia?
That was the one.
Sounds like you had as good a time as I did 😀
NRE is truly a wonderful drug, isn’t it? :-/
*sigh* My trailer is packed for Alchemy Burn (Georgia Burning Man Regional) and I’m supposed to be on the road down there mid-6 hour drive as I type this. But I woke up this AM with a freaking insane stomach bug and I’m eating ice chips and swilling pink goo and trying to decide if I can manage to get down there & set up camp tomorrow, even with rain and cold weather forecast. ARGH! I have this terrible feeling I’ll be unpacking all my stuff this weekend into the garage after not missing an Alchemy in 5 years.
Okay, that last panel made me laugh out loud. 🙂
Aardvark? Did Mick just call safeword on Omar?
“Haven’t we all babbled about this kind of shit when we’re in a new relationship?”
Yep.
Coming up on the 5th wedding anniversary in a couple of weeks, and shortly thereafter the 8th dating anniversary. Haven’t entirely stopped yet. 🙂
yeah i miss seasons in dallas …LOL it was always awesome to wake up to really cold weather (as the wife calls it snugglin weather) and be in the mid 60’s/70’s by mid day 😀
I’ve always wanted to go to a burn. Have an invitation to work medical for Burning Man, and have a acquantance that’s suggested I’d enjoy PDF.
PS – saw this on Twitter: https://twitter.com/failuretofirefr/status/390363246919958528
DUDE! HE STARTED IT! SWEET! Yes, he’s doing this with full permission. ROCK ON. Linking to it tomorrow…
Glad it’s with permission 🙂
Are you on Twitter?
I tend to avoid twitter. I think the 140 character limit kinda makes it all into bullshit. If you really have something to say, you aren’t going to say it in that small of a space. Also, most of the people i know who use it (including Mel) tend to post things like “I’M POOPING RIGHT NOW.” Extraneous shit.
