How I Found The Goddess and Started Making Out With Her In Public

I pose a simple question.  Strike that. I pose a very complicated question that doesn't require much typing. 
"Why are you here?"  I don't mean here on PD, though your answer may well be related to that bit of trivia as well.  I mean to ask "If you be a babbling, starry-eyed Unique Snowflake of Eris, what sort of incomprehensible mission do you come programmed with?"
Are you active and outgoing with your madness, or do you only spurt nonsense when its productivefnord?
Do you poster bomb neighborhoods?  Do you do "performance art" in crowded places?  Would you consider yourself an "evangelical"?  Or do you prefer to just keep it simple and giggle softly while the world falls asleep with a lit cigarette next to its oxygen tank?

Maybe it's not as simple of a question as I thought.

I ask since my cabal and I are planning on launching the first of many OMGASMs upon our home town.  After years of research and observation, we have realized that there is plenty of untapped weirdness in our area that folks just don't know about.  Local history, mundane or extraordinary, fact or fiction, is still local history.  As such, our Freak Flag flies baring the image of our patron saint, a local favorite, The Lizardman of Dogtown.  With St. Lizardman as our guide, we will unearth and shamelessly display those myths and legends that border fact and fiction.  Wei're gonna make this motherfucker weird, dammit!  Because endless fields of corn are only so unsettling for so long.
As of the moment, we're currently working on producing our particular brand of propaganda in the form of flyers and "devotional materials".  We are quite fortunate in that our love for nonsense blends very well with our love for making stupid crap.  On that note, once we come up with a severed lizardman hand to march with, I'll be sure to get some pictures for you guys.

They strike against Authority, but don't put it on the Internet.
They subvert the paradigm, but don't stick around to watch.
They mindfuck the people, but don't pat themselves on the back.

If two people know a thing, it is not a secret.
Getting away with it means staying away from it.

I guess if you're saying "Don't discuss your covert actions openly", I understand what you're getting at.  If you're saying "Don't discuss ANY actions at all (presumably for the sake of surprise)" then I can get behind that as well.  But considering that we don't really plan on doing anything that requires "covert" action, I'm not too afraid of sharing my thoughts.  And as far as "mystery" goes, I would likely give anyone that asks what I'm up to the same explanation for my actions as I described above.  I exist to spread weird and have no desire or compulsion to hide it.

We call it the KYFMS rule.  It allows you to keep pranking anyone you choose, instead of your cell mate or the corrections officers, both of whom are famous for "not getting it".

It stands, obviously, for KEEP YOUR FUCKING MOUTH SHUT.  If you're fucking with people for notoriety, you are in the wrong religion. 

On the other hand, if NOTHING you are doing is REMOTELY illegal, then by all means, post pics for laughs.

Listen to this guy, Rico.  He told me horrible truths about Heathrow Airport, all of which were true.

I would believe nearly anything heinous to be said about an airport.  Especially since their customer service policy is built to make you feel like you could be raped by an employee at any moment.  When that's the treatment that the paying customers get, I could imagine what happens to everyone else.
Also, sorry if it sounds like I'm just being a stubborn jerk here.  I do get what everyone is saying.  Believe me, I'm not a wreckless person.  And in the end, I'm not much of a prankster, either covertly or openly, so I tend to avoid situations that I even suspect will end up with me in the back of a squad car. 
What I am is an artist (mostly because I just can't do much of anything else), which provides lots of opportunities and venues to be a fucking lunatic.  Frankly, I find it a rather pleasing environment to be in as you can surprise people with the various things you make and do, yet they still accept it on some level.

If you're looking to do somthing very strange in public, consider getting a street performers license for your local city. If you have one of these you can quickly shut down minor police harassment so long as what you're doing doesn't violate other ordinances. A Few dollars and some paperwork may save your ass, just saying.
