Applied Dadaism: fun and games (Friday morning, main campfire)
The main campfire area had been set up with picnic tables arranged in rows. Each picnic table had a pile of brochures, a pile of siding samples, and a tool box (filled with actual tools).
In front of the picnic tables stood a large easel with the words "Krebman dual-coated Aluminum Siding and YOU" on it in bright, friendly letters. Artie waited casually, not in the least bit posed, next to this. He was wearing his grey suit and turtleneck, and holding his briefcase. As the students gathered, he gestured for them to have a seat at one of the tables.
"Good morning, campers. TGIF, eh? Thank God it's Friday. Today I have a very special workshop for your delight, entertainment, and enlightenment. Now, who here knows what aluminum siding is?" Artie barreled on without giving the campers a chance to respond. "That's right, it's only the best siding known to mankind. It became widely popular just after World War II, when the surplus aluminum production was put to excellent and attractive use for modern housing. . . ."
He continued to lecture the group for most of the class on the wonderous nature of siding, how it was far superior to wood, and could not be matched by the so called "vinyl" siding of today. He harped especially on its dent-and-dirt resistant nature, and the lack of any need to paint it.
"But don't take my word for it, campers. In front of each of you is a piece of this amazing siding, as well as some common household tools. Go ahead, try it out. See if you can damage it. I warn you, it won't be easy. You also each have a copy of my card and the brochure. This week, I'd like you all to be my helpers. Fandom has a distinct lack of quality siding, something which we will endeavor to correct. Go forth this week, campers, and sell! (I will, of course, be collecting any money made off of sales as they will be made under my name.)"
[ooc: OCD isa'comin up. Feel free to ask Artie questions or act in a Dadaish nature, though that may possibly earn you detention, this week. I'm posting this Thursday night as I'll be AFK for most of Friday morning with an interview. SP is welcome.]
