ABSTRACT
This paper discusses an actual case study of an individual subjected to a Guerrilla Surrealist attack. While no definitive ego-destruction ensued, this is largely due to uncontrollable variables entering the experiment. In future experiments it is hoped that such problems might be avoided. Despite this, however, we feel sure that the subject would have cracked wide open had the assault been carried through to its full extent.

MATERIALS

PROCEDURE
  1. Number the sheep-shaped erasers from 1 to 203 using the writing implement.
  2. Place the sheep-shaped erasers separately in the 203 plain white envelopes. (It is of utmost importance that the experimenter keep these envelopes in the numerical order of the enclosed sheep. For those of you with less than two fingers of forehead, this may be quite difficult.)
  3. Carefully write the address of the unwitting subject on each of the 203 plain white envelopes.
  4. Mail one plain-white-envelope-enclosed sheep-shaped eraser per day to the unwitting subject, starting with the one numbered ``203'' and working down.

RESULTS
We mailed approximately fifty sheep-shaped erasers to our unwitting subject before he closed down his mailbox. Due to shoddy record-keeping, the subject failed to receive particular numbers in the countdown sequence. (This provoked a very amusing response in the subject as they attempted to determine what those missing numbers might mean: a phone number, an exit on the local interstate, an address, and so on. More experimentation on this aspect of the experiment may be warranted, as it is a wonderful example of attempting to impose order on chaos.)
      Paranoia was evinced by the subject, who began to suspect anyone and everyone of sending him these mysterious sheep. We were truly curious about the subject's reaction, not upon receiving the first sheep, but on receiving the second sheep -- and realizing that there were 201 more sheep to come. However, no reliable testimony pertaining to this has been uncovered.
      We do know, though, that the subject actually went as far as to call their ex-significant others to find out if they were coming out to the local mail drop to interoffice mail the subject numbered sheep-shaped erasers -- and making this trip daily.
      After the subject's mailbox was closed down, the subject was incredibly circumspect about their new address -- so circumspect, in fact, that we were forced to end the experiment.
      Further experiments on this topic are encouraged.
