A Photo Worth 1,000 Questions

This photo is worth 1,000 (or at least nine) questions:

 

1. Is this the best photo of all time?


2. Is this photo staged, or was this just a typical Sunday outing?

3. Who is the lucky party behind the camera capturing this joyous occasion?

4. The shirts featured in this possibly staged outing clearly deserve their own subset of questions:
  1. Are these the best shirts ever created?
  2. Did Bill and Hunter independently dress themselves that morning?
  3. Has Bill's shirt ever worked on anyone? Hint, it probably has (and nobody got hurt)
  4. Is everyone else on the boat wearing similarly themed shirts?
5. Who ELSE is on this boat?

6. What is Bill laughing at?

7. Why is Hunter NOT laughing along with Bill? Is he not having fun, or simply focusing in on the nearby marine life?

8. Are these the two best friends that anyone could have?

9. Was our invitation lost in the mail?
We will assume so.

Burning Questions about Burning Man

1. You, an otherwise sane adult, have elected to attend Burning Man this year, because?

2. Who decides the theme, and what on earth is meant by "Cargo Cult"?


3. The 2012 theme of "Fertility 2.0". Please Explain?


4. Who is the judge of these costumes and decor, and how do we know if we fit in??
 

5. How much does one spend on Burning Man? We know, we know, everything is a barter system, but how about all of the supplies, costumes, etc.? Looks expensive.


6. Are we REALLY expected to share all of the shit that we hauled into the desert in our Honda Civic with complete strangers? Because, no thank you?

7. Burning Man tickets are upwards of $300, yet they are providing you with zero things... where does that money go?

8. How about the people that are miserable at Burning Man, but repeatedly attend? Please explain.

9. Bartering vs. sharing. Please discuss.

10. What are the children of Burning Man doing for 8 DAYS while their parents gallivant around the desert? Excuse me, "la playa"?

11. How does this make you feel?
 

12. How does THIS make you feel?

13. Aren't those feelings against the intended spirit of Burning Man?

14. And finally, what is happening here? I am not sure we agreed upon this.

In conclusion... no please.
