Hippies and freaks get all wistful for Woodstock on hearing of Burning Man but they don't much resemble each other.  Electricity is no good out there so music can be on acoustic instruments.

Zen Yogi:  what about the brown acid?

Oh, that aspect is probably just like Woodstock.

Germany's answer to Burning Man?  We just don't know.

The scene is hard-core ugly and it's presented because many in Texas, me among them, are furious with how this has been going except for with the people of Texas who have rallied in such splendid ways.

When this is what it takes for deer to get a date, I don't believe I want one.

Zen Yogi:   a deer or a date?

I don't want a date with a deer, Yogi.  No deer; no coochi coochi.

Zen Yogi:  because of your cross-species hang-up?

That in part, Yogi, but there's also a hang-up regarding large racks of horns.

Ref:  coochi coochi is from Charo, an incredibly-talented and infectiously likeable woman.
