“Well, hmm. We don’t like to ‘should’ve’ people here at Burning Man, but you might be missing the point a bit. You see, this isn’t the Man. This is a recycling container. Or it was, although at Burning Man we would call this an incomplete burn. And we don’t see how this fits in with the 10 principles of Burning Man at all. Feel free to review them and the F.A.Q. on the website. What’s that? You say you weren’t trying to burn the Man? You were just indulging in some simple vandalism by setting fire to this Curby? Ah, our bad. Sorry for hassling you. Not all fires have to be about something. But we hope you at least stuck around and caught some of those sweet plastic fumes.”
