The Beauty of the Other 71% by patty larceny, Bjørn Teuleuse
September 17th, 2008 10:24 PM
1,460,000,000,000,000 (Trillion) tons of water covers 71 percent of the Earths surface...so Patty and Bjorn decided to celebrate that by pointing at a bush. The task calls for the decoration of a public place with H20. Clearly, the first thing thought is to purchase a vessel or many vessels with which to hold the sweet nectar of the gods. Dixie cups...as the advertisement above points out, there's no mess after quenching the voracious thirst of the masses...they are, however, painfully wasteful. But because people happening upon it the next day would just think it was art, and for the sake of the task...we decided to proceed with this idea. We also coerced a non-player to join...we call him Miguelito Huevo Frito.
So we fill a bucket and other like containers with the not-so-potable water that finds its home in the Embarcadero Center in San Francisco's very own Financial District. We begin filling and arranging and before you know it we have a huge arrow pointing at a bush. We also, just as quickly, have a visitor that is employed by this complex, standing right at the tip of our arrow. This gentleman, of tiny Napoleonic stature, brings his very large Napoleonic ego to the forefront and, being a security guard, tells us that it is not okay that we are doing what we are doing in the building. Mind you, this is an outdoor/indoor building and we are just inside the entrance. We rebut with the typical...just let us finish, we aren't causing any harm, we'll be done and out of your hair in a jiffy. Well, he didn't buy it, so we continue working and he continues standing there, trying to intimidate us with threats to call the Po Po. Eventually he does just that, all the while we are photographing our half finished creation. Suddenly, Patty turns to Bjorn with a brilliant idea...lets just run away
...so we did...
Sippy Sippy

Notice the security guard waiting for us to leave...we didn't pay much attention to him until he actually phoned the police...

ill give you my vote for having the security guard standing there. but for future reference, you must utilize your long forgotten super powers of recruiting. then call the popos on him.

the security guard's self fulfilling prophecy...
The stock photography you used as the first image for this praxis is showing up as a no-leech image.
Thought you should know.
