Omar’s Burn 1
Jan27
Before anyone says it, I don’t hate Austin. Omar does, and he’s fictional. I like partying there sometimes. With good people. Unfortunately, a lot of Austinites are hipster elitist douchebags. But not you, if you’re reading this and living in Austin. I’m sure you’re perfectly groovy. For reals!
This is the week of my birthday, and as always, I’m looking to get funds for a tattoo. This year, I need to get a life-sized print of Mel’s combat boot on my left ass cheek. I’m going to have her step on a pan of ink, then step on paper, and then that gets tattooed on my ass. I promised her this a long time ago, and totally forgot, and dag nabbit, I need a bootprint on my ass. Because I’m ridiculous. See the donation links below.
And now, music.
…How is Austin on the way to Burning Man from Dallas?
Burning man isn’t the only burn out there.
Flipside. In May (I think).
Freezer Burn. Out in the sticks south of here. No, I wasn’t there, but one of my coworkers was. I’m on very bad terms with CMA.
Can I ask why? Not a member, just curious.
The leadership seems to be quite untrustworthy to me. Maybe I take my religion too seriously, but I expect to be able to trust religious leaders. While my religious beliefs may not match up, I do rather insist on integrity. I am also distancing myself from the Unitarians, minister at the last church left the ministry because of sexual misconduct, this is after she routinely blasted straight white males from the pulpit.
Thanks. I have no religious stake in it, but I get your reasons. And damn, that property was perfect for FZB.
You should suggest to Mel that she get your handprint tattooed on hers to show why you’ve got her bootprint on yours. 😀
I completely agree with this.
We clearly want a picture of that tattoo later.
Speak for yourself, some of us can go through life without gazing at the man ass.
I am female, i can watch manly butts all day.
Boot print on arse is a decent tattoo idea, you don’t have to lust for man arse to appreciate that.
Here’s a look at the next BIG SCARY THING. http://youtu.be/mJGH7cDFw7c I want some to go with my Black Talons.
Is there a warm-weather Texas burn? Or are Omar and Maria going go Freezer? Also, Austin totally reminds me of Wickerman.
Flipside. In May, I think.
Flipside – although we’re not hitting that one. Our next burn will be Mys in October.
Boy, if he hates THOSE folks, he’s gonna hate whatever burn he ends up at…
I was going to get all uppity about how Austinites really aren’t all like that and defend my town, when I realized three things in rapid succession:
1. This is the Internet, people will have opinions.
2. It’s probably not your opinion, but Omar’s (which I see is confirmed by the newspost).
3. There really ARE a lot of hipster elite douchebags here. Sadly.
Fortunately there’s still tons of other cool people to make it interesting. I’m glad I live here. And the joke WAS damn funny.
cheers,
Phil
What you said.
And IMO, the hipster elite douchebags are part of what makes Austin *Austin* nowadays, IMO. For better or for worse (I’m not a fan of some of the changes, and I’ve only been here since late 2002), it’s how things seem to be going…
Yeah, bring back the mellow laid-back hippies! Austin has been invaded by a bunch of uptight, narrow minded, intolerant hipster liberals! It really sucks. These days I tell people to try Lubbock and stay away from Austin.
And here I am, thinking of the Libertarian hippies I used to know – And hate.
I miss them now.
Hilarious to see you here on FTF. I see your handiwork all the time in Ingress. Didn’t know you read this comic. Small world, eh?
cheers,
Phil aka “dslartoo” in Ingress Resistance
I’m not sure how much of the elitist hipster vibe is local, and how much is homegrown from UT, and how much is imported from out of state thanks to tech jobs leaving California for SanFranLosBerkley on the Colorado river. At least Dallas never gave a shit as long as I paid my bills.
I think you’re conflating two things – there’s Austin elitist, and there’s Austin hipster. They can be found in the same person, but I *think* they’re two different modes. I think both are mostly homegrown. But I’ve only been here for 11.5 years – from Wisconsin by way of Kansas.
Living in Austin I often get the urge to “hose the fuckers down” as well. Preferably with a high power water cannon.
Not an LRAD playing DubStep..? 😀

I was totally suckered by the punchline. Looking back at the strip, all that bare skin should have been a clue. If Mesquite Burn is as exposed as Black Rock City, people dressed like that would get broiled, no matter how much sunscreen they used.
Ah, so he’s going to Flipside, then?
Go easy on the Austin hate, Dear Benevolent Dictator.
Dangit. There was supposed to be a (/fauxaustiniterage) close tag after the second line…ah well.
Actually, he’s going to Mesquite Burn, a burn in early February about 80 miles west of Austin. Also, it doesn’t exist.
I hope Mel’s boot-sole has treads.
For, you know, breaks in the print.
Otherwise, that’s going to be one solid patch of pain to sit on, for a while.
😀 At least it’s original.
Will catch up to your b-day stuffs when our fortunes turn.
Say, which boifday is this for you? I can count, but I frankly don’t believe it.
…do boots without treads even exist??
Cowboy boots have no tread. AFAIK, neither do most equestrian boots. But he specified Mel’s combat boot, so a tread of some sort is pretty much given.

HEY!!
WHEN DID OMAR ACQUIRE WHITES TO HIS EYES??
Comic #22, October 2, 2012.
We just don’t see them much; seems to be mostly when he’s annoyed.
I tried to go 24 hours in Austin without being offered alcohol. Ruined at 10am. Barber shop. “Lonestar or coffee?” So it was a beer and a haircut day.
You want your birthday to be a pain in the ass?
Love me some Mariachi el Bronx. Fun to see live too.
