If you think Burn vets in San Francisco are annoying, you should go to Burning Man itself. It's a really life-changing, eye-opening experience … into just how annoying people can get. And you're stuck in the desert with them.

"Handicapped"
Do people still use this word in the US?

In the marmalade forest! (forest)
Between the make beleive trees!
In a cottage cheese cottage?
Lives Albi, Albi, Albi, Albi
Albi, the racist dragon.
