http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3564829/World-s-largest-post-apocalyptic-festival-sees-thousands-Mad-Max-fans-gather-Californian-desert.html " The four-day post-apocalyptic party in the Mojave desert began in 2010 and has seen steady growth each year. Now it is the largest post-apocalyptic themed festival in the world, with last year's being the biggest event to date with 2,500 festival goers. Over the years, fixtures of the Wasteland Weekend environment have emerged and include bounty hunting games, a bonfire dance pit, a film festival and a fire spinning area. Me, I like hot showers and cold drinks. You mileage may vary. =^[.]^= ETA: Make sure you scroll ALL the way down for the pictures.

No offense but the average American really does look out of shape... And these are outgoing and adventurous people, I'm reasonably certain they are in a better general condition than the statistical average of the entire population... The Wheel of Nerfs turns, and builds come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the build that gave it birth comes again.

" Bars wrote: No offense but the average American really does look out of shape...

It comes from a cultural heritage of having enough to eat, y'know, agrarian roots and all that. Don't worry, though; if our leaders have their way, we'll all be living in shared misery and poverty, soon enough. =-[.]-= Now can we get back on topic?

I didn't mean to tick you off, just... genuinely surprised even if I know this well enough in theory. I'm afraid it's not tied to a high standard of living, however. There are rich lean countries (e.g. Japan) and poor obese countries (e.g. North African countries). I was also more or less ontopic, there were some awesome costumes but the amount of obesity simply turned me off :( Sorry to be a party pooper, will try to refrain from commenting in the thread.

You start off your insulting and offensive statement with the words "no offense but"? Haaa what a knob.	Posted by Deleted on Apr 30, 2016, 2:34:38 PM

You start off your insulting and offensive statement with the words "no offense but"? Haaa what a knob. It was simply an observation. If I wanted to be offensive, I would've used offensive language, like you did. The Wheel of Nerfs turns, and builds come and pass, leaving memories that become legend.
