Last year it was RAIN AND MUD.

Next year ???????????....................

Frogs from the sky? Locust? Sulfur and brimstone? Cats and dogs living together?

Oleksandr Kosinov...securing his bicycle to the back of his vehicle...Kosinov told SFGATE that he’s from Ukraine”

Are they SURE it was his bicycle?

[ComputerGuy]

Can’t we just have a simple bonfire?

[NorthMountain]

Shirtless and wearing a gas mask festooned in pink sequins,

ROFL!!!!

Next year ???????????

Frogs? Flies? Boils? (Is "boils" a euphemism for monkeypox?)

[notdownwidems]

I’m guessing the influx was pretty unhinged too.

I imagine that showers and general hygiene were optional at best, so...

I guess Satan’s powers dont include weather control.

Last year it was RAIN AND MUD.

This year DUST STORM.

Next year ???????????....................

Fire and brimstone from the sky?

The only reason most people go to Burning Man is to witness who else went to Burning Man. It’s a dumb idea to go anywhere.

[Sicon]

"Next year ???????????.................... "

Locusts? Or maybe just go straight to fire and brimstone.

To see and be seen...................

Desert dust storms are no joke. I got caught in one driving my open top jeep YJ near Salton Sea in SoCal. Blowing sand blotted out the sun. Took all the paint off my front bumper and ruined my windshield. Changed the oil and air filter after that ride home.

Wasn't it last year the environmental activist douches blocked the road out and the tribal cops descended on the scene and pushed their crap vehicle out of the road?

And the activist idiot hippie chick in her sobbing voice, "We are environmental activists!"

[Magnum44]

People who go to burning man be like...

[martin_fierro]

Won't post-Apocalyptic life be grand?

(a lot less Gubmint interference, so there's that)

[Wuli]

“To see and be seen...............”

Yep.

"Burning Man" is a cheap, drug and sex "new age" imitation of the traditional burning of Zozobra in Sanata Fe, New Mexico, a tradition which dates back to 1712. Why go to "Burning Man" when you can see the real deal in Santa Fe?
