\"\"Jack Stieben wants you to smoke a cigarette with him. Why? \u201cJust \u2019cause.\u201d<\/p>\n

A San Antonio man is inviting the public to meet him at the Starbucks next to the San Antonio Zoo on Saturday, Dec. 13, at precisely 1:20 p.m. The purpose is simple: he just wants you to smoke a cigarette with him.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut why?\u201d you might ask. \u201cJust [\u2018]cause\u201d is the stated reason on the flyers the Alamo City resident has posted around town. <\/p>\n

\u2018Nuff said.<\/p>\n

In his public Facebook event<\/a>, local heavy metal musician Jack Stieben invites anyone and everyone of legal age to join him in lighting up a smoke.<\/p>\n

\u201cCome smoke a cigarette with me in front of the Starbucks next to the San Antonio Zoo. I can\u2019t afford to bum everyone a square so you will need to bring your own,\u201d he writes. \u201cYou need to be 21+ years of age to smoke cigarettes so that\u2019s a requirement too.\u201d<\/p>\n

This San Antonio event is part of a larger trend of silly flyers sweeping the nation. In this trend, one maverick rises out of the abyss of digital isolation to invite strangers to take part in a nonsensical moment for unknown reasons.<\/p>\n

\u201cCome watch me eat an entire rotisserie chicken,\u201d read the viral flyer by the now legendary Philly Chicken Man<\/a>, who consumed his 40th rotisserie chicken in as many days on an abandoned pier near a Walmart in front of a crowd of onlookers. \u201cThis is not a party\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\"\"Would you smoke a cigarette with this man?<\/p>\n

So far, the San Antonio Facebook event<\/a> only has 14 takers and 39 on the fence, but that\u2019s quite a cloud of smoke already for one specific location. <\/p>\n

Like a fumar flash mob, local coffin-nail connoisseurs will descend upon the unsuspecting Zoo-area Starbucks and disappear just as quickly in a cloud of smoke.<\/p>\n

And who knows? Maybe they\u2019ll make friends sometime between first light and last ash. The holidays are a time for breaking bread, after all. <\/p>\n

This is just the smoker\u2019s version.<\/p>\n
