Nail a hunk of cheese to the floor. Tell people “It’s an example to the rest of 'em.” When at a restaurant, right strange messages on all the sugar and sweetener packets. Then, put them back in the holder. Sample Messages “Eat more alien cheese!” “Boogie Oogie Oogie!” “Sweet Zombie Jesus” ---

One group of flashmobbers at the [Geisel Library](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geisel_Library) (star of such cinematic masterpieces as Killer Tomatoes Strike Back) used to do this. All three walls (we’re not counting the one with the panels and the door here, as that would be rude) had students shoulder-to-shoulder staring at the wall. Completely silent. It was a weird experience. > [@Hampshire](#): > > Run into a Starbucks out of breath and ask out loud: > “What’s the date today!

[QUOTE=Hostile Dialect] I hereby pledge to do this for reals if some enterprising Doper will design said pamphlets (and maybe print them too) and send them to me. Bonus points if they point to a real Cthulhuist website, especially if it has Cthulhu tracts. Who’s with me? [/QUOTE] I designed and printed simple pamphlets as part of a Halloween costume years ago. I’ll put them up on Flicker. There simple one sheet- folded three times. The cover reads “Who Can Save You???” The answer is no one as the inside pages explain the coming doom with cites from the Necronomicon and Unausprechen Culten. ---

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/23569990@N08/](http://www.flickr.com/photos/23569990@N08/) Printed properly, the paper folds into thirds. Page 1- Who can save you? is the outside front cover Page 2- No One! is inside front cover. Page 3-But is folded over It unfolds to reveal page 4 inside center (Cthulhu will give you treasure) Page 5- Depicts the two drowning men Page 6 is the outside center and back cover. You could also track down a copy of Get Eaten First. I am working on another Cthulhu tract “Mr C’s house” but need an artist. ---

_Awesome_! Totally made staying up on the night before I work at the election all day (starting at 5:45! :eek: ) worth it. I only have a B&W printer, unfortunately, but I’ll definitely hit downtown with these things in the next few days. ---

[QUOTE=cmyk] 1. Dress up like a cowboy and start trick-or-treating. In July. [/QUOTE] Done. I was a gypsy, though. Don’t wear shoes. Ever. Laugh whenever anyone says a word with a k in it. Use a symbol for your name. Roll your eyes and sigh whenever anyone mispronounces it. Mimic people. Become allergic to certain colors. Food=jewelry Start undressing at random times. Use rock-paper-scissors to resolve all conflicts, including who has the right-of-way, what meal to order, and child custody. ---

Went skiing in a tux last Friday night. Went skiing in a Hawaiian shirt and bathing suit two Friday nights back. Went skiing as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, with shell and sword, three Friday nights back. I believe the costume de la nuit this Friday will be Marshmallow Man. ---
