SMCM Photo Op Idea

I am going to be at the next SMCM, with my daughter and our bakfiets. I was riding to get dim sum with Chicken Leather and Black Woman Sidekick this past Suday talking about it and we had a funny idea:
Sticks+Zip-ties+Twine+Donuts = Fishing for Cops
I am going to bring sticks, twine, donuts and zip-ties to the ride. Think about it - a pack of bike riders with donuts hanging from sticks attached to their bikes.
The extra attention from the cops would make a lot of sense in that case, wouldn't it?
It would also be a very funny picture.

I would like to offer a friendly amendment to this motion: instead of fishing poles, have a folding table set up with a bunch of donuts and one of those office pony kegs of Starbucks coffee (remember, to today's cops Starbucks is the new Winchells). Hanging from the table is a large paper sign that says "FREE COFFEE AND DONUTS FOR SMPD OFFICERS"
And underneath in smaller lettering is a witty punchline, like "Don't harrass cyclists in Santa Monica...on an empty stomach!" Only, you know, wittier. Than that.

No...I withdraw the motion. Poles and twine = funnier. But you have to make sure to bring enough for everybody so that nobody can possibly miss the joke.

keep it really low key, just hang the poles and don't say anything about it...

I love this idea. I want to get a photo op of me dangling a donut in front the cops before the ride! Maybe I'll play the pied piper and lead the cops on to the beach?
