Is that a car I see?

Yep!

"There will come a time when we will say, I don't want another big mac, I don't want a fast fancy car, I don't all these things. I want a simple, fullfilling life"

*feels philosofical*

Wow reminds me of when they did that to Bart Simpson dolls back in the 80s

I always wanted to burn a car

Burn, Smurf, burn.

You know this reminds me of something funny about some of the religious factions that does book burning where they burn books, cds, dvds and other things that offends their religion to protest these things and I even asked some of these churches this... all this stuff that they burn where do they get it? Well a lot told me that they buy it from the store to donate it to the event because they support the protest... Ok, I said, So you buy all this stuff that you don't like to burn it to promote others not to buy it? So that means the artists and publishers are still making a profit for making what you believe is crap and giving them free advertising so they can go out and make more for you to burn and them make even more money.... Who here sees the logic in that?

Didn't you hear? Religion got a restraining order against logic. Logic is now required to stay at least one hundred miles away from religion at all times.

Do you expect religious nuts to have logic?

I burned a bunch of old laptops last new year. Just for the fun of it.

Then I felt very guilty...

Nice one.

In the Pacific Islands around Fiji I think, it's popular to burn paper effigies of the riches and prized posessions of a person who has recently died. Some of the islanders go all out, building fairly accurate half sized models of Luxury cars, houses, even small ships and airplanes. A lot of work goes into something that only exists to be destroyed it seems, but from what I understand, the more expense the family puts into getting the props made, shows how much the departed was loved. Personally, I like the idea of burning my troubles too.

Posession, like life is transient.

I don't think there's enough stuff around to craft effigies to cover all those things and people that have troubled me to watch them burn.

Wow, reminds me of the original Wicker Man which I got to see recently.

Is that cat woman throwing in an effigy of her son (who's looking worried)?

I think that's her husband, not son.
