Church's is so much better.

Of course not. What I’m getting at is that Burning Man performances aren’t intended to exist without audience participation, and that’s difficult when the performance starts out as a recording. That’s one of the specific conditions of your OP.

You already got one predictable vote.

I don't think that's what she's talking about. I don't think it's possible simply because there is a fundamental flaw to the medium. Theoretically, events such as Burning Man are perpetuated through a lens - as in the performances are transitory but the representation of these performances persist through the perspective of the attendees either through a photographic or videographic lens. There is separation between those lenses and the performers that is typically filled by other attendees, the natural setting, or even other performances in the periphery. In a virtual space, the lens is explicitly the domain of the performer instead of the audience and there is, consequently no separation. Furthermore, there is the issue of the inherent permanence of everything that exists on the internet; even assuming a recording of the event is saved by the virtual attendee, thus becoming the property (not in the legal sense) of his or her perspective, and promptly deleted from the performers space, the recoding continues to exist in near perpetuity in some form devoid of any additional lens space.

That's why Mix is the storyteller for our times....

Fuck that. He’ll meet Brady and an hour later he’ll be his personal banker.

See, the only lyrics that stand for me in that song are him the " You lied to me," In the refrain. Which, it's also usually no help.

I did my patriotic duty.

I wouldn't want to meet J K Rowling because I just know RAC_G is going to show up on her scooter with a sledgehammer.

That's got a catchy beat.

You are lying.

That was the best Gundam.

Your entry was kind of half-assed.

Have at it.

Tom Cruise. Might be the greatest dude ever, but want no part of that.

Substituting one black guy for another black guy.

No doubt. It isn't any less horrifying to see. Of course, the difference between this and another volcano on the same plate boundary, Krakatoa, is that this eruption's energy was suppressed enough that people closer to were able to witness it and survive. This particular region appears to have extremely violent eruptions.

That would be a big no. You can see the localized cloud from the blast and its pretty obvious that it's not big enough to enter they upper atmosphere like a surface pyroclastic explosion typically can.

I hear someone called Mountain Dew "panther piss" once, and it suddenly tasted better imagining I was actually drinking wild cat piss.

He'll get there. Dude just does everything in his own time.

Don’t you…. Just imaging what Westie’s last moments were like haunts me.
