Gargoyling

Gargoyle |ˈgärˌgoil|
noun
a grotesque carved human or animal face or figure projecting from the gutter of a building, typically acting as a spout to carry water clear of a wall.

There's a new craze sweeping the nation! Well... Maybe not the nation, more like some circles in the small but charming hamlet of Sebastopol, California.
First there was planking:

Then there was owling:


AND NOW THERE IS GARGOYLING:











The concept originated on a trip to the Russian River with Ailah, Pauline, Sarah, Fred and Tyler. So, the general idea is you sorta crouch down in a highly conspicuous place, do something creepy with yo arms and make a hellza ugly, scary face.
So go out and Gargoyle it up! You know you want to.

The Three "S" 's of a Sebastopol Interlude


Hey guys, so there's this thing I've noticed. Sebastopol, being the happening place that it is, will occasionally have a bit of excitement. Dear reader, I use the term "excitement" here really, very loosely. Anyhoo, we have a bit of excitement, for example, a car might make a left out of the Whole Foods parking lot or a dog might get off it's leash and book it up Main Street. In any and all of these little events the majority of the Sebastopolian population will inevitably act in this manner AKA The Three S's.
1)SEE.
They look around in a frenzy. "What? What? Something's happening? What the fuck? Nothing ever happens here."
2)STARE.
They then locate the source of the excitement. "Oh my Buddha." The gawk, open mouthed and shocked.
(Note here that really nobody offers to help, usually only one person will make an effort to lend a helping hand)
3)SHRUG.
The casual looker-on-er's will then shrug like, "Meh... I now find myself too marvelous to be bothered." They then just ignore whatever just happened and go on with their life undisturbed.

So the next time you're chillin' in Seb-town you will know the protocal. Yeah, you're welcome.
