I did formulate a plan for something I would like to do once lockdown is over... But uhm... I'm not entirely sure it's appropriate...
So here's the pitch. None of us have been out as much as we'd like of late, well, when I say none of us I am obviously forgetting the recluse-types, the hermits and the agoraphobics. There is also those who are perhaps kidnapped, held hostage for political reasons and those who have unfortunately become lodged in to their bathtubs due to hormonal and glandular reasons... Oh and big bones, mustn't forget the 'big boned'.
So I am happy to re-state that most of us have not been outdoors as much as we'd have liked, although now I come to think about it many people just don't care for that whole outdoors-thing all that much anyway, right? When did you last get run over by a double decker bus or high speed train in your kitchen, huh? Then there's people... Have you ever had to have interactions with humans? Sheesh! You ain't missing anything if you avoid them altogether...
Then there's acid-rain and UV rays, seriously you can't just mess with this stuff and not expect consequences. Also My Sister-in-laws, dog-walker's cousins personal security guard ((he's not really a personal security guard, more of a kinda uhmm... Parole officer is the term I think...)) was struck by lightning whilst watching dancing with the stars... You are just not safe anywhere these days are you?
Apparently venomous spiders have made their way to the UK this year... I said this would happen after Brexit!!!
These insidious arachnids apparently prefer fresh air so they are more likely to be found outdoors than in. You could almost spot a pattern in this stuff, right?
Anyway. Let me explain about my day out that I had been planning... Although... Dogs have been looking a little more feral recently. It's being cooped up indoors you see, maybe it's rabies??? I think if I saw a dog outdoors right now I would be a little reticent about going up to it and stroking it. Cats too, they are usually well socialised but apparently a scientist in the University of Nowhereville Iowa says they have regressed back to what is essentially a Sabre tooth tiger mentality... Sounds risk to me, I dunno about you?
I think the Weinstein scandal sparked all of this stuff!
So back to my idea... What I was planning to do although I've gotta be honest, now that I think about it, can you imagine the number of crazies roaming the streets nowadays? All those people who've been cooped up with their dysfunctional families not even having the chance to escape to their mundane little jobs? Once lockdown is fully lifted they will likely be wandering the streets wielding machete's and stun-guns in some kind of grown up parody of a cross between THE Walking Dead and Lord Of The Flies... I don't fancy crossing paths with those guys!
All of this at a time when the North Korean government is very quiet... Coincidence?
So back to my idea: I was going to head in to London with a group of like-minded friends in a piece of performance art. We were all going to dress in plague masks whilst coughing violently. This seems like something that would really help to lift peoples spirits as we head out of the current situation.
BUT I read an article about Africanised bees making a beeline ((pardon the pun)) for England even as I type this... There is a rumour on one of the forums I visit that suggests Boris Johnson has personally imported these bees, It's almost as though the government wants us to go outdoors isn't it???
Now this is what I was looking for!
I'll join in on the plague mask idea, who doesn't like a little plague-frivolity!

Uhm... Dude! Even you don't seem to know what you're looking for haha...
I know... I mean really know you were never ever expecting anything vaguely resembling 100 words from this guy lol. I cannot even say Good morning in passing to people I don't even like in anything close to 100 words!
I am heading out on a journey of mass engagement over the next three weeks as I have 22 days off work ((actually it's now more like twenty one and a quarter days... Jeez these comments take time to write 😁)) and I thought this would be the perfect springboard to get around the blockchain and meet people and I lovelovelove anything that promotes engagement in our community so simply had to support it my friend.
I shall be checking out the other commenters in this thread shortly
to see if I need to eliminate my competitionto say Hi to them... I love meeting new people 😇Cool idea G. Enjoyed taking part a lot... I love to just go freestyle and write utter insanity occasionally... Nonsense is my middle name ((actually it's Hilda but don't tell anyone!!!)) Have a fab end to the weekend and a stunning week to follow man 😎
Hi
Hilda, Steven, I hope you've had a good weekend.A good idea to get out there and do some engaging when you have the time. Just remember to try and be brief although I know it will be hard for you. I mean, some may appreciate really long responses, but most will like quick back and forth which helps people save time and still engage. Being too wordy will not work in your favour with most, you have to pick your mark. (This is especially so with people who post and engage a lot I think). It's your choice, just do what you want to do, but is a suggestion to help you cover more ground in less time. You'll soon learn who to comment in long-form with.
I actually, do...Anything that isn't boring and run-of-the-mill. This is why I set guidelines around anything goes and hope people pick up on it. Creativity means to be creative and it seems some know how to be and some don't.
I'll see you around.
ENGAGEtokens.
