“make this the longest running comment thread on Laughing Squid”

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

RE: “Sounds like cacophony” event submission

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

"Find a Penny, Pick It Up and A Penny For Your Thoughts"

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.

The recent silly drama surrounding this Internet tomato fight & a prank bet between two individuals inspired me to dust off that cacophony part of my brain & do an old fashioned event write up.

Event Title: "Critical mAsshole"

Target audience: Critical Mass participants, Motorist & other pedestrian sympathizers

Description:

A Horde of pedestrians (perhaps one hundred or more) on foot, with various noisemaking tools, sandwich boards, picket signs & any other applicable ephemera will gather & descend upon several strategically located intersections to disrupt/interrupt bicycle traffic during the infamous Critical Mass bicycle parade/vehicle protest. Each phalanx will have its own team of 2-5 captains armed with bullhorns to both control & lead the division of pedestrians in absurd chants focused at "caged" bicyclist.

Various "phalanx team" themes will be established to uniform & code each group. Refer to the "How Berkeley Can You Be Parade" Cacophony teams as inspiration. Each "theme" can be an overblown stereotype as parody.

Example starter themes:

1) Fascist meter maid/street beat cops (handing out offence tickets to safety "infractors")

2) Bridge & tunnel downtown business types (perhaps some missing limbs, clutching miscellaneous bike parts as if in post-collision

3) Homeless "street types" clutching scraps of shrubbery and tree branches to "hide" behind or use as a barrier

4) Mimes (miming an invisible wall to contain oncoming critical mass bike horde)

5) San Francisco stereotypes: Hippies, punks, burners, santas, bunnies, etc.

6) Clowns Gold/Silver street performers

7) Resurrect "Fascist Vegans"

Reference San Francisco (& other) Cacophony events:

"Fantasia Protest"
"How Berkeley Can You Be Parade" Cacophony (PETA) Meat float
"Santarchy & Santacon"

Objective:
The primary objective of this event is to illustrate a point to Critical Mass participants (& by fortunate default via fallout, motorist) the ill effect they (Critical mass) may have on slower, lesser equipped brethren –pedestrians. This objective may be achieved via protesting the prankster protesters with a similar vehicle of disruption. (Doling out a dose of reflective medicine to those that dish it out once every month)

Motivation: On many occasions it has been experienced first hand & witnessed by many pedestrians the sometimes dangerous disregard "rogue" participants of critical Mass have on unwary street denizens and walkers.

The non-violent, absurd & jovial atmosphere established by the San Francisco Cacophony Society must be maintained at all times, carried out & encouraged by the bullhorn wielding phalanx captains.

Holy Freaking Jesus.

This is blowing way out of proportion & sailing the seas of pointless absurdity. How much time have you (Kate) devoted to writing/simmering/losing sleep over this subject on LS as well as your own blog? Is this an attempt to milk more attention, All over a silly little tomato fight?

Please, turn your computer off, step away & go outside & enjoy. Go see a film, go see a music show, go do something fun in this wonderful city you claim to love that doesn’t involve dwelling on this ridiculous little drama you mostly created.

Am I now at fault & deserving of your ridicule for having an opinion about an observation?

Wow, all this over a tomato fight? reminds me of the time my friend Jeanne was the recipient of a "meat is murder" lecture from some stranger in Berkeley, all prompted by the Spam t-shirt she was wearing...

those roma tomatoes look delicious, I want to eat one now.

Since this obviously needs to be spelled out:

My comment about “burning bags of shit on doorsteps” was meant as sarcastic metaphor referencing the antiquated prank as a call to action & taking it directly to instigators.

For example: repealing tax-exempt status. “IF a tax-exempt institution gives to a political campaign, they lose their exempt status for the year of that election.”

I said nothing about attacking people or meant that any violent action be taken against anyone.

Next time I will avoid writing anything sarcastic & metaphorical so I don’t confuse you.
