If you think May Day is a spring festival for dancing around some pole while throwing flowers and hoping to see a fantastic creature like a unicorn, you’re in the wrong century and probably the wrong dimension.
I dunno…some of these protests look like they came straight out of “the wrong dimension…and even involve unicorns:
Occupy Web Site Features Bloody Graphic of Decapitated Cop Being Attacked By a Unicorn:
It’s May Day. I’m occupying my job, how about you?
The Occupiers are out wreaking havoc, breaking windows, cursing at cops, and telling everyone else not to work.
In other words: Just another day at the office. I mean encampment. Or streets. Or parents’ basement. Or whatever.
Protest organizers said they intended to show the “1 percent” what life without the “99 percent” would look like, as they encouraged workers and students to take a day off in solidarity against income inequality and “unjust” corporate practices.

The wordsmith has never been to Nantucket.
