That was me today!
Spent pretty much the whole day doing store blessings. What happens is lions run around inside a store, bringing good luck to the whole place. Sometimes there's an altar set up with oranges for us to peel into flower shapes, red envelopes to pick up, or lettuce to throw around.
The red envelopes are the fun part. Sometimes they're hung on the ceiling, so the lions have to do a headsitter...which is where the head player sits on the head of the tail player. If that wasn't obvious. How do we get up there? The head jumps and the tail lifts--the lift power depends on the head's jump and fatness.
Oranges are the most annoying crap ever. You know those Cuties that people take to school? The Easy Peel!, Super Sweet!, Seedless! ones? Well, not every orange is like that. Take your bog-standard orange. It has a thick skin and the peel crumbles into little pieces. Plus the juice squirts out like crazy. I punctured an orange in this really pretty jewelry store, and juice dripped all over the counter and the spotless carpet. Oops. And then I spilled water, crashed into a few doorways, was molested by packs of children who wanted to "pet the pretty dragon, " and accidentally whacked a few people with the lion head when I couldn't see what I was doing.
And all of this bestows a blessing on the store. Go figure.
