If someone like Karl Rove had wanted to neutralize the most creative, intelligent, and passionate members of his opposition, he'd have a hard time coming up with a better tool than Burning Man. Exile them to the wilderness, give them a culture in which alpha status requires months of focus and resource-consumptive preparation, provide them with metric tons of psychotropic confusicants, and then... ignore them. It's a pretty safe bet that they won't be out registering voters, or doing anything that might actually threaten electoral change, when they have an art car to build.

Yet more Esperanto fun for the crazy Esperanto set! You know who you are, you swingers you! I love the lot of you! Serious! I mean it! Let's do lunch and shit.
Check it: somehow or other I found this coolio Esperanto slang dictionary on the Innurnet. It's great! Well, OK, it's kind of not-great: it's got this big broken image at the top of the page, and it uses the crappy ISO-8859-3 character set, which like is for crazy Central European languages like Sorbian and also the OFFICIAL character set for Esperanto, having all the crazy little chapelitaj karakteroj and like that, but no browsers seem to support it so you just get these crazy symbolic logic characters and fractions like 1/4 and Old-e Englysh-e letters like "thorn" in your browser and the combination makes you feel like Bertrand Russell playing the small-town grocer in "Beowulf" and it just looks like shit.
I mean it, man.
But besides that, rock on and anon with this bitchen Esperanto slang dictionary. It's like the great superb list of every slang word ever invented in the super interlanguage. Sure, it hasn't been updated since 1996, so the words are probably the E-o versions of "k-rad" and "gag me with a spoon," but who cares? Beats the crappy slang I got from "Teach Yourself Esperanto" (1956).
Go sling some slang, bad people!

Wakes can present problems for Bad People of the Future. (If you don't know what a BPotF is, you need to read more of the PDJ.) Sure, your friend is gone and you miss him and that really sucks; it does, I know. But all Bad People of the Future are gonna die, and they have all accepted that fact. They do deserve, however, to have one final kickass party to celebrate all the bad things they've done in the past, present and future. And you, as a friend, have to make sure that their desire for a final send off is well executed (sorry for the pun). That's just the way of BPotFdom. (More...)
