The Shinto Shrine Burning Incident- Part Three
The shrine burned with gusto. It kept going for a good while, and was pretty warm. Marlon and I got pictures. Here are mine:
The burning was going very well. The metal screws and thick wooden pillars inside made the shrine survive much longer than an actual one would've. However, we weren't able to burn the structure to ashes.
An officious student- probably a freshman- yelled at us from the balcony of the dorm, informing us that it was against the rules to burn things on campus. (Of course, that's not right: It's against the rules to burn things IN THE DORM ROOMS. If you couldn't burn anything on campus, the smokers would be up in arms.) We tried ignoring her, but she threatened to call security on us, so we cut the exercise short.
Eric had the foresight to bring along a mug of water.
We found out that Little Miss Rulemonger had called security, so we, not interested in getting into trouble for such a minor offense, went on the LAM! First we went to our room, where we gave Eric Wendy's GiR jacket so he could go back to his room without risking identification by witnesses. Then, we popped in to Grand Central, where we related the adventure to Jessie-Lynn and Millicent.
Perhaps putting up a webpage identifying us as culprits isn't the best idea, but how many pages are you gonna find with pictures of people burning a shrine?
