Bageling

First, let us unequivocally state that we here at The Austin Chronicle do not condone the perpetration of acts illegal or of questionable legality. That said, the fine art of "bageling" requires obtaining, sometimes through partially legal means, a large quantity of bagels or other bread product and "decorating" someone's yard with them. The noble bagel lends itself to the easy spelling of words, drawing of pictures, or making of avant-garde abstract art. While the act itself bears an uncanny resemblance to the excitement and intentional silliness of "TPing" or "toilet papering," it may not, we repeat may not be performed with a malicious heart. Your intended object (victim?) will not have to break his or her back cleaning it up. That's what birds are for! Not to mention, instead of wasting "stuff," bageling involves a kind of creative recycling. Plus, finding free bagels can be a hilarious, bonding experience, especially when you get sent on wild goose chases by grocery store managers named Carlos. We advise against the following, but would be remiss in not mentioning that Dumpster diving can be the way to hit the jackpot, but select your scavenging locations carefully – you don't want to dig through a lot of icky, smelly trash to earn your dough. Available wherever bagels are found.
