Clever or silly, practical or practical jokes … I know y’all can deliver!
I was sent out to buy a bag of ice from the corner store, but their freezers were nearly bare and the few remaining bags had thawed and re-frozen into solid blocks of decidedly non-cubous ice. Attempts to shatter my purchase into usable pieces by flinging it against concrete were futile.
Sooooo … maybe we’ll do something else with it? Launching it via trebuchet at the neighbors could be fun, if somewhat illegal. We’re in Texas so it’s roughly a bazillion degrees by midafternoon anyway; just sitting on the damn thing like a rocking chair would give those same neighbors something to talk about.
Put a fan blowing on it. And sit there in front of it, in a greasy tee shirt on a lawn chair, drinking beer. Punctuate the day by screaming at neighbor kids.
Place ice on garage sale end table draped in a tarp, Place a sign explaining that this is a performance art piece entitled, “Geologic Timetable”, don’t explain it but put a tip jar out suggesting that a donation would be appreciated. Go buy some margarita mix and a nice bottle of Costco blanco tequila and see how much you make.
I would’ve said “bigass cooler” instead of “trash can” but I endorse this post. Surely you can find someone who cooks up moonshine and a crap-load of powdered drink mix. Then you’ve got a party waiting to happen.
