I feel like doing something completely insane and out there in order to shake things up a little and get both me & the general public out of this deep funk we're in. (See, it's times like this when money is a great thing to have. If only I'd invested in Microsoft 15 years ago, I'd be all set!) I thought maybe doing a dress-up parade would be cool, but Halloween was just last week and it needs to be something a little more creative since it was just done.

Right now, I'm thinking that I should get a bunch of people together, rent some rabbit suits and we can all run around together in a mob downtown handing out chocolate eggs. The only thing wrong with that (besides the lack of funding) is that if parents are going to throw out their kids' Halloween candy because they think the neighbors might poison their kids with anthrax, they probably won't take chocolate eggs from a random rabbit in the street either.

But dammit, something's got to be done. In the words of Tim Matheson and John Belushi in Animal House: "I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part... And we're just the guys to do it."
