burning man is the poor man’s bohemian grove?
Sunday, July 2nd, 2006i really think i’m on to something here.
1) both are in summer (bohemian grove in July / burning man in early September)
2) both start with “b” (think about it!)
3) both are camp-outs, in the middle of nowhere.
4) both worship a giant effigy ( Dull Care the 45-foot owl / the 40-foot-at-least Burning Man)
5) both have a ceremony where they burn stuff ( the cremation of care / see above)
6) both have a certain amount of nude hi-jinks,
7) both use a half-assed pagan exuse (druid costumes / ‘tribal, dude!’)
and
8) both have an unparallelled level of self-congratulation among the members.
anybody that’s been to both, email me and compare.
