Glamourbomb

Linked to by [livejournal.com profile] gremliness, the glamourbomb is a little package of Interesting/Surreal/Beautiful where it will interrupt the day of someone who needs a little more magic(k) in their lives, and hopefully serve its purpose.

My friend Ginger developed a something akin to the glamourbomb:

A little slip of paper with the words "Don't Worry, Be Happy!" and a smiley-face on one side, and an absolute nonsense phrase on the other. By nonsense phrase, this means of course absolute nonsense. "Glide brain symphony twist" might work.

Make up a bunch of these and randomly leave them. Many in close proximity to each other works well.

I took this a level up some years later with my dorm. I compiled a list of phrases (there were some 900 of them), and overnight a slip of paper bearing a nonsense phrase appeared on *every door* in the entire dormitory. Not excluding doors that were, say, the covers to fuse boxes. The dorm was confused and delighted. I walked around to find that some doors had collected bunches of the tags (about fortune cookie fortune size) and kept them until the end of the semester...

Only a few people ever figured out who was responsible.

Brilliant. "X^D


This reminds me of the signs (http://unamerican.com/propgnda/index.htm) at Unamerican.com. I make it a point to keep a few of those signs in my car so I can stick them to random windshields now and then.
