315--Nevada: Burning Man 2005, All Fun & Games @ CherieSpotting     Sep 09 2005 - 08:26 PST cherie writes: It’s all fun and games when no one gets hurt. Burning Man is a festival of fun with adult-sized games for kids of all ages. You might jump in a vat of plastic balls and then head to the desert for a game of super-sized croquet. On the way, you might have a shocking experience playing Operation or fly across the desert on a zip line. Whether you like a mind game like chess or a chest-game like the titty-totter, Burning Man has something for everyone. Come see us jump, swing, bounce and slide across Burning Man’s Black Rock Desert.

Cherie, Margaret, Vicky and Brian jump in a vat of plastic balls at Burning Man 2005. Beware...if you don't jump in the balls...the balls may come to get you! Cherie gets a giant hug-ball. Look at his balls! Why don't they usually let adults play in the plastic balls? Margaret and Vicky. Sure I'm smiling...but can I get out. Cherie, Margaret and Vicky relax in a ball-bath. At a high-end salon they'd charge $120 dollars for this treatment. Margaret and Cherie. Adult-sized Operation. I got the Adam's apple. Brian takes out the funny bone. (It's not funny when you miss, you get an adult-sized shock!) Operation can be a shocking experience! Here I went for "water on the knee". Jean and Mark on the trampoline at Camp Tramp. Margaret! Jean took a super-bouncy pill! Opps! I think Jean forgot how to land! Who is ready to play croquet in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada? OK gang, everyone grab a mallet. Jean takes a whack at the ball. Vicky and Molly team up. Greg and Lisa strategize. I'm going to send this ball to the moon. Giant croquet is made for big kids! Greg knocks the ball around. Margaret's ball is headed for a wicket. These big balls take a lot of energy to smack! Brian on the slip and slide. (Note: Brian says it is more painful than fun!) Who wants to go for a virtual swim on the playa? Margaret and Cherie take a cool desert dip. Good thing there's a cute lifeguard on duty! Swimming is good for your health. Time to swing! There's the arch. Swing low. Nothing like a good swing to lift your mood. Swingers Vicky and Margaret. Just like riding a bike, you never forget how to swing. Crazy skateboard jump! Luckily he landed on both feet! Cherie plays chess, her favorite game. Careful, don't bring the Queen out too early. Brian isn't sure where to move next. Giant Chess in the desert. With chess, it's a black or white decision. Massive Mouse-Trap. Giant cogs. This giant version of the game Mouse Trap doesn't trap mice! In the end, a 2-ton safe smashes beat-up old bikes. Brian ready to go on the zip-line. Swinging through the desert. And he lands safe, with a giant pillow to protect his...privates. The World Famous Titty-Totter of Death. The Titty-Totter draws a crowd. Adult-sized fun. Cherie and Karem on the old-fashioned teeter-totter. Karem! Lisa! Lisa and Karem. Karem. It's like a circus out here in the desert!
