EVENT
went to buy toilet paper at shop on Sea Road, Fulwell, Sunderland UK,
wearing jacket attached to Fluxus Midwest pin. Realised that it was
colder outside than it had looked from the sofa in front of the fire.
Should have worn big coat which is not attached to anything in particular.
Walked to shops (about 4/5 mile) under threat of rain considering methods
of toilet paper/boot coupling.
Looked in DIY and junk shops for cheap toilet roll holder.
Found a little picture frame.
Didn't buy it.
Found cheapest toilet paper I'd ever seen - 2 rolls "Happy Shopper" brand
for 45p (one pound sterling = 100 p not sure what that is in dollars but
believe me it's cheap)
Was to find out later that "Happy Shopper" toilet paper is only fit to be
stuck to shoes. Perilously thin, conventional use could prove dangerous.
walked home from shops in rain and hailstones, small jacket and very cold wind.
Made lunch - right boot mummified in toilet paper.
Toilet paper remained on boot for remainder of day in house.
postcards typed boot wrapped in t/p
postcards addressed boot wrapped in t/p
t.v. watched boot wrapped in t/p
dishes washed boot wrapped in t/p
floor vacuumed boot wrapped in t/p
most of the work that was supposed to be done was not, boot
wrapped in t/p.
Every time a piece of toilet paper fell off I felt obliged to pick it up
and wipe my nose on it, thus it was not wasted.
To prevent litter - walked outside with toilet paper tucked int o boot
Variation - toilet paper tucked into boot, passed up leg of jeans and out
of hole at knee.
CONCLUSION
1/ toilet paper attached to shoe for a reason, inhibits desire to remove
shoe.
therefore if shoes are uncomfortable, wrap them in toilet roll and
state that you are doing so on behalf of Fluxus Influx - hey presto
problem solved
2/ having boot wrapped in toilet paper raises awareness of movement of
chair legs during posture adjustment whilst typing.
