Heck I thought this was some sort of joke, a spoof on burning man or something.

Big Tex really did catch on fire today at the state fair here in Dallas.  Was going to go today too, good thing I didn't, would have traumatized my 4 y/o.

If this were in CA they'd just blame it on some more pot growers.  :noid

Who knew Tex was a flamer?

On second thought, his outstretched arm was quite "graceful"
