Fisticuffs
From Plastic Tub
AA Ceremonial Ritual Dance enacted on initiates just prior to any major reformatting of the inherent structure. Final Sequence in The Night of a Bit of Lunacy ritual. Violent Engagement later percieved as necessary psychic activity. Stimso Adid's sleepwalking oration (interpreted by cartographer Mazzistow Carrington), predicted the Place (http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~jwheat/expopark/parry1.jpg)], but not the time of the next performance of this Rarest of AA Ceremonial Rituals.
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.
