As of 2009, Burning Man is society's officially sanctioned counter-cultural movement. And as this movement, it has no forward momentum.
It is a party in the desert. That's basically it.
It is fun and it is harsh. The environment in itself is beautiful and amazing. The culture of Burning Man is divided into two categories - 1) them 2) us. 'Us' consists of about 20% of the population of the City who mostly volunteer to work for the primary benefit of counting themselves part of the 'us' clique (they even get T-shirts to prove it). Needless to say, 'us' is a really annoying group (mostly). 'Them' is everyone else - mostly clueless spectators who have little or no interest in participating in activities or creating events or making art. When 'they' finally poke their heads out of their massive RVs, it's with the general purpose of taking pictures of freaks & geeks so they can prove to their friends back home that they 'did' Burning Man.
Freaks & geeks are another class separate from 'them' and separate from 'us' (but more them than us - thankfully). They consist of long-time participants called 'burners' who have attended the festival roughly more than 4 or 5 years. The also consist of newbies who are trying desperately to fit-in to appear as burners. They wear Utilikilts and repeat sayings like, 'safety 3rd' as if that signals to others they're 'in' on something cool. When they're not dropping names like telling you how they just had sex with LadyBee or had a beer with Larry Harvey, they're 'joking' about bacon or other sanctioned Burning Man topics with the design of impressing you. And who are you? You're just trying to get to the portapotties in hopes of escaping this moron who won't stop talking to you. No one cares that you 'know' Danger Ranger!!

If you say 'F yer day!' one more time in hopes of impressing me - I'm going to kill you. Which is why I no longer attend Burning Man.

Get the A Burning Hill mug.Easily one of the best and most original history-themed F2P MMORPG games in the market. Taking place during the most glorious hour of pirate history in the Caribbean, You get to choose between a total of four factions (Pirate Nation, Great Britain, Spain and France) and five classes (two for pirates, three for empires). Features historically accurate and realistic sword-fights, naval warfare and economy. Severely underrated because history isn't as appealing as high fantasy.
As a history nut and a big fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean movie trilogy, I totally digged Pirates of the Burning Sea. How many MMOs out there feature realistic naval battles?

Get the pirates of the burning sea mug.The excruciatingly hot poop that comes out of your butt a day or two after eating spicy Mexican food. It feels like your butt is being burned at the stake like a witch. The hot log leaving your body.
I added extra jalapeños to my burrito and my butt burns so bad you would think it was a Mexican Salem burning log coming out of my butt.
