Sinister: NEW YORK PICNIC REPORT

[Runegg]

Here's how the New York picnic went!

We arrived at the Central Park Carousel at 1pm.  The sun was shining and the
weather was sweet.  There were 47 of us.  After bribing the carousel worker
into cranking up the dial, we each got on one of the olde-tyme wooden horses,
and the thing started spinning.  Sweet Dina, unfortunately, was not on a
horse, but rather, on one of those little runty unicorns.  She wanted to
impress us New Yorkers (she'd walked from Washington just for this event), so
she grabbed onto the unicorn horn, and using the torque provided by the
spinning carousel, hung from it, her body flapping outward like so many wind-
whipped flags.  

It was then that disaster occured.

Her sweaty palms slipped from the unicorn's horns and she flew outward,
upward, like so many rocket ships to the moon.  She landed in a tree, where
Cindy, Phkintz, mlk206, and twelve of the other picnic gatherers ran to find
her.  Unfortunately there was not much left of her head.  (On the bright side,
we'd forgotten to pack lunch--and we're not vegetarians!).  We New Yorkers are
a surly bunch, so we started, as they say, "chowing down."  Mm, those
Washington DC people sure do taste funny!

Unfortunately one of New York's finest witnessed our little picnic.
Apparently cannibals need a permit to gather in Central Park.  Cindy tried to
sweet-talk him, to no avail.  He was about to write us a ticket, and he was on
the verge of handcuffing Phkintzshch, but then he heard the sweet strains of
"Fox in the Snow" emanating from Megan's ghetto-blaster, like so many sweet
strains of "Fox in the Snow" emanating from Megan's ghetto-blaster.  His
heart, well, it just melted.  Soon he was like that proverbial "fox in the
snow", dancing around naked, his pink fleshy body jiggling in the spring
breeze.  It was quite beautiful, although we're all sorry about Dina.  

Next time, we'll pack a lunch!

with love,
Ari
