TAR 11

ACT. 01: DO NOT PERTURB

Its time for part two of the serialization of Rich Fulcher’s fantastic new book Tiny Acts Of Rebellion, this week Rich informs Fixers how to reek havoc at your local boutique hotel.

The name of the game with hotels these days is what I like to call “cute honesty”. When the boutiquey Eastern European hotel clerk hands you a bill called “the damage”, one is expected to laugh at the disarming sincerity of the statement. Ha ha, oh those charming Slovenian jerkoffs! Another example of hotels acting coy with fakey-fake bluntness is when they re-label the “Do Not Disturb” signs with something like “Leave me alone”. What next? Will they start calling the English Breakfast buffet “The Vomit Inducer”? Should we expect to see a sign on the minibar reading “The money sucking drink cage”? No. THIS MUST END NOW.

Here’s the tiny act we can all do to strike back: make your own “Do Not Disturb” Signs. This will require some arts and crafts skills, but you can handle it. Get a piece of cardboard (an old nuclear waste sign should do) and simply cut out the hole to doorknob specification and write any message you want. The more random the better. Some of my favorite signs are:

. “My Asshole is burning.”

. “I hate cupcakes.”

. “My cat is taking some fun poops.”

Congratulations to the 3 winners of our contest celebrating Tiny Act #91!!!

Each winner will receive a free, signed copy of the new book. Thanks to everyone who sent in pics. There will be more contests to come!

To celebrate the launch of Rich Fulchers hilarious new book Tiny Acts Of Rebellion we are going to feature a TAR every week that you can get involved with at home culminating with an exclusive interview with the man himself.

Who can forget this old nursery rhyme?

‘Clap clap clap clap clappetty clap

Clap clap clappy clap clap.’

Inbred idiot, Wales, 1538

I really enjoy getting my clap on. When at an event, I always utilize the ‘End Clap’ technique. i.e. I aim to be the last one clapping after everyone else (at least five seconds after is good). It doesn’t matter what the event may be: The symphony, a poetry reading, a green day concert or a neighbourhood barfight. It puts people on edge to hear applause after they’ve stopped clapping. It leads them to think they’ve missed something.

Other claps to practise and employ:

Pop clap: The pop clap is much more balsy then the end clap because it comes at an inappropriate time during the show/speech. It is short, loud and staccato-like. Best used during sensitive, otherwise quiet moments – like during a eulogy, or at any time during the Vagina Monologues.

The Slow Clap: This is typically used during a dramatic movie moment, like at the end of Brubaker or Revenge Of The Nerds. However, the slow clap is best used after ordinary moments of banality like:

. You’ve just brushed your teeth (SLOW CLAP)

.You’ve just picked up test results that show your yeast infection is clearing up (SLOW CLAP)

.You’ve just had your parking validated (SLOW CLAP).

.Or immediately following orgasm (also works when you’re having sex with someone).

The Seal Clap When combined with boisterous grunts this is intended to sound like a seal … or a psycho … or psychotic seal.*
