Anyway we decided to do an actual devival in a warehouse. We made fliers with clippings from The Weekly World News. When we were hanging them we found that somehow the words "free" and "tortillas" wound up stacked in a very logical order. We were scared, we thought people would now expect free food. Our ring leader came up with a brilliant plan.
During the devival he slowed things down for some "serious talk" with the audience (well attended actually). In this segment he told the audience about "Juan Tortillas" (pronounced properly, for you gringos: hwan tortiyas), a "soldier in the slack wars" going on in central America, Juan had been taken prisoner by the Pinks (soldiers of the conspiracy... that part is right out of the SubG stuff) leaving his wife and kids to starve. "And so, in order to send good vibes to Juan and his family, to increase their slack and hopefully get Juan freed, please join me in this chant
Free Juan Tortillas
Free Juan Tortillas
Free Juan Tortillas
FREE TORTILLAS {start throwing those little cheap ass corn tortillas at the audience)
FREE TORTILLAS
FREE TORTILLAS..."
Start waving your arms around to get the people in a big frenzy and get the hell off stage because things are gonna get crazy (you have armed them with flying disks after all).
That actually became the traditional ending to our rants. A couple of years later the group fizzled (as these things are wont to do), a couple of years after that I first heard about tortillas being thrown at UA graduation. We have no "proof" that it's our fault, but given the timing of it all we take the credit, and we're proud.
PS to the best of our knowledge the story of Juan Tortillas is completely made
