Since I will not be able to join in the Burning Man festivities this year, I found a article that would help me create the "Man" experience at home. Here's the list:
Before eating any food, drop it in a sandbox and lick a battery. Stack all your fans in one corner of the living room. Put on your most fabulous outfit. Turn the fans on full blast. Dump a vacuum cleaner bag in front of them. Buy a new set of expensive camping gear. Break it. Get so drunk you can't recognize your own house. Walk slowly around the block for five hours. Have a 3 a.m. soul-baring conversation with a drag nun in platforms, a crocodile and Bugs Bunny. Be unable to tell if you're hallucinating. Lust after Bugs Bunny. Cut, burn, electrocute, bruise, and sunburn various parts of your body. Forget how you did it. Don't go to a doctor. Pay an escort of your affectional preference subset to not bathe for five days, cover themselves in glitter, dust, and sunscreen, wear a skanky neon wig, dance close naked, then say they have a lover back home at the end of the night. This was the highlight of the article, the rest was about STD awareness, but if you want to see the whole article for yourself, here is the link:
