Theme Predictions for 2013

Cargo Cult - Who is John Frum? He is known to us by many names, this Visitor from Elsewhere, dispenser of endless abundance and wielder of mysterious technologies: John Frum, Quetzalcoatl, Osiris, "Bob." His cargo is splendid, his generosity boundless, his motives beyond our understanding. But across the ages and around the world, the stories all agree: one day he will return, bearing great gifts. Our theme this year asks three related questions; who is John Frum, where is he really from, and where, on spaceship Earth, are we all going?

I'm fabricating a 'Big Top' circus tent out of medical walkers so I'm pulling for...

Circus
Recycleland
Playa du soleil, (Playa of the sun).
Carnival de Playa
Whimsy
Or anything with big cats, monkeys or elephants.
'This is going on your Permanent Record'.
For 2013 change my Playa name to 'Schwag Hag'
Butt? Does this make my face look big?

Acid & Alkaline
Before & Beyond
Clit & Cock
Design & Destruction
Embark & End
Form & Fuzz
Gaia & Galaxy
Heavan & Hell
Ice & Inferno
Jane & Joe
Kettle & Keg
Love & Lust / Logic & Lunacy

Secondly,
Polar bears, vikings and snow cones

Thirdly,
“Pee Pee”

I need help with street name pairs.

Mmmm, ocean, snorkel diving, beaches... I'm in!

Bonus... We can add "mutant boats" wow! Think of the flickering reflections on the water from the flames....

ETA: No narrow highways either.
