Thinks just ain't the same there, anymore:

:Over the years, numerous restrictions have been put in place, such as:

An imposed curved grid street structure.
A speed limit of 5 mph (8 km/h).
A ban on driving, except for approved "mutant vehicles" and service vehicles.
Restrictions and imposing of safety standards on mutant vehicles.
A ban on camp fires and Tiki torches.
Burning your own art must be done on an approved burn platform.
A ban on fireworks.
A ban on firearms.
A ban on dogs.

I say we burn all the stupid regulation-crazy politicians first!

Yep, w/ larger population, rules have happened. I've been going since 1997, it ain't the same, but then again, if it were the same, i would'nt still be going. It's different every year. The street structure is great, the cops and BLM officers suck, and the ban on dogs is great. I think I remember that you are an animal lover, and that environment is just a bad place for dogs. REALLY hard on them, especially with all the noise, explosions, dust, and dipshit owners that are too hight too take care of them.

But, some of the politcs DO need to go.

(But keep passing on the rumor that it sucks now, please, it keeps the population down!)

Not this year. For those who want to exxperience burning man, and can not make it there, I present this.

Ways to enjoy Burning Man at home

# 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.

KurtBethel, that was hilarious!

As for all of the restrictions and how large it has become... perhaps it's time to start an offshoot? A cloned baby of the burning man? Okay there it is, I have proof it was my idea, you read it here first.

Ha.
