not impressed at the word "monogamish"
sex diarists are the most disgusting savages
― omar little, Tuesday, 11 September 2012 21:14 (thirteen years ago)
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 (thirteen years ago)
lot of gas, trash, food, and water too. it is not even remotely "sustainable"

Hey, if they're dropping hippies into the playa from airplanes, I'm all for it.

Bacon is the official food of Burning Man. (Tecate the official beer.)

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 (thirteen years ago)
..and accordingly, every time a bunch of people feel its realistic fiction style is either creepy or inauthentic. It's a classic troll.
― your naïve bacon (mh), Tuesday, 11 September 2012 22:50 (thirteen years ago)
haha yeah they all have the same author. ooooops
― thomp, Tuesday, 11 September 2012 22:52 (thirteen years ago)
the "author" tasks a different "normal new yorker" each week with doing the cataloging iirc
― ❏❐❑❒ (gr8080), Tuesday, 11 September 2012 22:54 (thirteen years ago)
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 (thirteen years ago)
oh maybe i'm confusing it w/ a different column that had the same vibe? i dunno.
― ❏❐❑❒ (gr8080), Tuesday, 11 September 2012 23:50 (thirteen years ago)
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
― look at this quarterstaff (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 11 September 2012 23:54 (thirteen years ago)
I guess. It's always in first person, so hard to tell.

Jealousy triumphs over sexual liberation in the end.

the williamsburg one is nowhere near as bad as the burning man one
― look at this quarterstaff (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 12 September 2012 00:02 (thirteen years ago)
then again, I took a creative nonfiction class in college, so by that rubric... maybe I'll go with fictionalized and only partially self-aware

do you ever yell "man, I love being a gr80"
― ɥɯ ︵ (°□°) (mh), Wednesday, 12 September 2012 00:20 (thirteen years ago)
no.

how much money gets spent on this motherfucker my god, and time
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.
― (✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Friday, 28 September 2012 11:16 (thirteen years ago)
Because the times Spencer noted have burning man pictures!

I couldn't bear to watch any more of it so didn't see those points.
