The Elephant and Butter

20 Course Update: The only real progress made so far on the feast involves a hammer, a chisel, and a piece of mahogany. Numerous times in the past week I have sat at a picnic table on a local basketball court and whacked away at the mahogany, which shall serve a special (and admittedly, unnecessary) purpose at the feast. Even though the park is in a high-traffic, semi-residential area and I have been making a whole lot of hammer-on-chisel noise, not a single stranger has shown much interest in my half-court carpentry. This confirms my long-held and occasionally-tested belief that you can pretty much do whatever the hell you want in public as long as you do it with nonchalance. And a claw hammer.
