Sicc Playa Dust sounds like a completely legitimite ICP side-project, actually.

I know that sexual freedom is part of the Burning Man package but there's something incredibly hilarious about the "did the dishes, put a penis in my vagina, read a book" pacing

watching the burning man documentary i kept thinking man that is a LOT of electricity to cart out to a desert. like vegas for vegans.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 11 September 2012 21:33 (eleven years ago) link
lot of gas, trash, food, and water too. it is not even remotely "sustainable"

Isn't that sex diary column a running fiction piece? It's like that every time.
― your naïve bacon (mh), Tuesday, 11 September 2012 22:49 (eleven years ago) link
..and accordingly, every time a bunch of people feel its realistic fiction style is either creepy or inauthentic. It's a classic troll.

haha yeah they all have the same author. ooooops

the "author" tasks a different "normal new yorker" each week with doing the cataloging iirc

o rly? the author is some relatively well-known "I'm so sex-positive my vagina fly atta you face" columnist, iirc
― look at this quarterstaff (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 11 September 2012 23:44 (eleven years ago) link
oh maybe i'm confusing it w/ a different column that had the same vibe? i dunno.

yeah I'm pretty sure it's satirical fiction

Uh, I doubt it:

but I think Gr80 is correct -- this is an "as told to" kind of deal with different people featured every week. It's pretty clear if you look at the archives

the burning of things in the middle of the desert is probably the biggest selling point for me personally #pyro

I don't get why the wedding vid is in this thread but HOLY SHIT that's awful. I just watched it with my mouth hanging open. I'd die if I went to a reception where that was shown. I'm not good at stifling inappropriate laughter. I'd have to excuse myself.
