burning man is the poor man’s bohemian grove?

Sunday, July 2nd, 2006

i 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.
