*looks up places to rent a chicken suit*

Always be prepared for either outcome, I say…

Read the bet, I'm only getting warmed up. 13 months and 5 days to go until Chicken John has to give the JKTF $1K and me an essay.

nope, the Paul Addis thread is perhaps the longest thread by a mile, this one needs a few hundred post to surpass that one.

Epic. *rolls eyes*

I'm too full of Turkey to think of anything more this week, standby I'll be back with more concepts Monday.

Crossing Ommm Line
When: During ING Bay to Breakers
What: A line of people in running gear w/B2B numbers on them sitting in the lotus position, “Ommming” across Fell Street at the top of the hill (which is the half way point of B2B, I believe.) They just sit there and “ommm” while people have to navigate around them. They make room if anyone wants to stop and “ommm” with them.

Note: This could probably only last until the actual runners pass and when floats start coming through.

Waiters on Wheels
When: During “rush hour” on a Friday — when people are getting out of work — 5-6pm-ish
What: Like Critical Mass meets Food Not Bombs.
Objective: Feed people en masse and cause a scene.

Logistics of route: Route of this task would start at the Ferry Building in the Embarcadero and end at the Ferry Building in the Embarcadero. The mob route would move up Market Street to Civic Center, then up Hyde Street to O' Farrell. Route continues down O'Farrell to Market, ending where it began.

Description: Participants dressed in full waiter garb (pants, tie, apron, towel over their arm) with a backpack full of food, a tray and a menu of what they are “serving” move en mass through the route on “wheels.” Preferably skateboards or roller skates/roller blades, so it's easier to stop; but, bikes would also work. Even people on foot pulling wagons would be cool. Whenever someone regards them they stop and ask the person “Can I take your order sir/madam?” They then present their menu, let the person choose what they want from their selection and serve it to them on the tray. Participants should make particular effort to stop and ask homeless people if they can take their order, taking particular care to serve them with extreme kindness and formality.

Participants are responsible for providing their own food, etc. Ideally people would prepare things that were pre-packaged and easy to serve. It could be as simple as fruit or a sandwich; as complex as something gourmet and “plated;” as easy as a bunch of take out burritos split up into smaller portions. The idea is that everyone should have at least two options. And, their individual menu should be hand made and pretty. Bonus points if they provide a beverage with the meal.

There is a why, but it's elusive… could be to show that everyone should be able to have elegance and dignity in their lives. Could be to demonstrate how a dedicated group of people with few resources can feed many. It could be just to cause a scene.

There should be some musicians on wheels, too – to provide the proper ambiance of a fancy restaurant.

I'll be back in a minute to recap a bit…

PREPARE FOR DOOOOOM!
;)

Event Title: LeperCon™ (Saint Patrick's Day)

Description:

Use the template of Santarchy/Santacon, exchange themes with a differing holiday (Saint Patrick's Day)

Hordes of drunken leprosy infected leprechauns; wrapped in filthy pustulent (green) bandages will invade various cities on Saint Patrick's Day, distributing Irish insults along with prosthetic rubber snakes & engage in xenostereotypical behavior. Zombie “mobs” may be recruited as servants (lore includes the belief that Patrick raised people from the dead)

At some point the group (concealing hidden bottles of green dye) will seek out the nearest water bearing fountain type monument & proceed to bathe, releasing the green dye, “tainting” it with “leprechaun leprosy puss” rendering the water non-potable. Reference the Biological warfare technique of poisoning an enemy’s water supply: “The Roman commander Manius Aquillus poisoned the wells of besieged enemy cities in about 130 BC”

• Wear filthy green puss ridden bandages along with stereotypical “soiled” leprechaun attire
• Pin a shamrock to “naughty” regions
• Speak with a mumbling brogue (Irish, if possible)
• Drink Irish beer and spirits

How novel.

Is this based on or related the Cacophony Society “Penny Parade” (18th year)?

Info:

No need to count all the copper coinage in your penny jar – bring it to Haight Street and join us as we throw our money away in this street theater abundance ritual. Sow the seeds of good luck leaving by lucky pennies for people to find. Spare change the passers-by (offering, of course!).

Join us in singing “Pennies From Heaven” and other overly optimistic Depression-era ditties (or rather, ditties from the LAST depression since it’s 1929 all over again!).

Bevies of tap dancing, copper-lamé clad showgirls/boys performing lavish synchronized Busby Berkeley-style production numbers are always encouraged to attend, but somehow never actually materialize.

Crowd screams: “IT”

Organizer asks: “When do we want IT?”

Crowd screams back: “WHENEVER!”

Whenever someone asks a member of the crowd what they are protesting they say “IT!” Whenever someone asks what a crowd member believes in they say “Whatever YOU do!” We will have signs saying “we are anti-colostomy” and “meaning means nothing” and “we want IT WHENEVER” and people will hear us. There will be disciples of “whatever” whipping themselves mercilessly with strands of glass and leather for doubting “IT.” And we stay there allllll night. Chanting and playing drum & bass.

This will happen in the name of WHATEVER at your place at an unpublished hour.

Prepare for doom.

Love n' Kisses,
Kate & Bonnie

1.) Each one has a reason behind it, they hardly seem stupid and unnecessary at all.

2.) There's no alcohol involved.
