5549 - Early Burning Man

Originally uploaded by DangerRanger.

This is a pretty cool video clip of the man burning early: CLIP

I missed it, because I got there around 730AM from driving the whole night (12 hours) there was no way I could stay up. The next morning I heard about it, and I looked and could see it from my camp, all charred and limp. I thought it was funny. I thought it was well within the spirit of the event. Heck, even Larry Harvey himself thought it was pretty funny. He was one of the founders of Burning Man. Heck, he built the original “Men”. He laughed, he says so himself on this little clip: CLIP

Next time they should save the money, and let it burn… Then again, a bunch of people got to see two burns, and a lot of newbies got to see the pinnacle of their event.

Personally it’s about the whole week, not just the Burning of the Man.

In the eyes of a Pastafarian, we would be considered Spagnostics. This is because they feel we don’t believe in their Spagedeity, the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM). It’s not a matter of belief, as it is one of denial or shruggery. We all know the true God is ERIS. Recognizing Eris as our patron diety does, on the contrary, awknowledge that there are other deities, therefore the Spaghetti Flying Monster is acceptable as being part of a long line of gods. Unfortunately, for followers of FSM, the FSM is a false god. Nowhere in world history is the FSM mentioned. The Pastafarian will argue that it His intent, to be missing from History, it’s His sense of humor. If anything I would like to declare FSM as Brigiadier Saint(1) in the POEE tradition of the Discordian Society.

I’ve installed the Discordian Calendar Widget on here on STRAYCOUCHES.com. I’m not really sure how it works, but it’s here (or there on the left). I got the plugin from Singlenesia Software.
