This year's Burning Man hippy throw-down was infested by bugs. "What!" You cry out in amazement, "A freak fair, infested by bugs!"
Yeah, that's right, bugs, in the Nevada desert. The hippies brought them there.
Hippies Goofing Off Around a Fire |
Hippies are notorious for bad personal hygiene, thieving, hustling, and lying around, out of it, when they're not goofing off around fires or dressing up like Indians.
"Indian" |
There's very little water in the Nevada desert, which makes cleanliness difficult. Far out, eh?
Make of that what you will.

Most guys go to Burning Man to look at naked women...smoke dope...drink...drop acid...and remain unwashed for a week or more. Bugs, well, bugs follow.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that this circus is missing is an evil clown.
ReplyDeleteI called a friend who works at Burning Man every year (State of Nevada employee) after I read your post. He has seen the evil clown there in the past but the evil clown hasn't been at the event for the past few years. Possibly a case of liver failure? They say that the Devil knows his own.
Burning Man starts next week in the Blackrock Desert. There is still time for you to attend. I think that there is a pressing need for exorcism at the event.
ReplyDeleteYou realize, I hope, that most attendees are not "hippies" in the old-sense but well paid professionals from the San Francisco Bay Area. Who else could afford the fees, the special gear, etc.?
ReplyDeleteShowering with soap and water is something the "man" does. As such it is beneath the dignity of our elite hippie class.
ReplyDeleteIt could be that The Clown has passed over to the "other side"? Vast quantities of cheap red wine can have that effect.
ReplyDeleteAnd tell you what, I'll go to BMBD if you do. Take bug spray...
I know, Chas. We're talking about rich art/design hippies. But the song remains the same -- thieving, hustling, no 'count goofing off. And guess what what? They're still infested with bugs, just like their poorer cousins. Such hippies.
ReplyDeleteYeah. Off the Man, Infidel. And, er, washing.
ReplyDeleteMaybe next year, LSP. A (rented) motor home is required. Tents are wiped out by the 50+ mph winds that sweep across the dustbowl.
ReplyDeleteWe'd need a decent rig. I'm thinking some kind of flat-bed, with an HQ/Living Quarters.
ReplyDeleteThat takes planning.
