Fistifuffs k. 1. Ceremonial dance enacted prior to a reformatting of the inherent structure. 2. A means of achieving an end, where an end is about achieving means. 3. Final sequence in The Night of a Bit of Lunacy ritual, and as such celebrated amanuensically by the making of shears. 4. Violent engagement rendered as a symbolic advancement-utility device, i.e. the elaboration of sleep activity.


Extrapolation

Stimso Adid's sleepwalking oratioum, experimentally launched in New York in the year 1934 and interpreted by cartographer Mazzistow Carrington), was used to predict the geomantical location (http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~jwheat/expopark/parry1.jpg)], but not the purpose or chronological spacing of the regular performance of this rarest of AA ceremonial ritual.

Tim Wilson has been a particularly ardent choreographer of fisticuffs. The fisticuffs ritual is a dance that changes like jazz. Quite structured, complex, yet full of spontaneous variation and "improvisation." The basic characters are the monkey and the ass. In Incidentalist variations an asp goads them on, and, though trampled by the spectators at the end for his "cowardly" ways, always comes back after the curtain falls with a ribald joke, often a one-liner.

The Night of a Bit of Lunacy, itself a quasi-stationary series of movements inscribed in air, culminates in this, most fragile and drying motion in the AA sphere.
