Nearly eight months after IE introduced New Cheerios and stick-figure caricatures to the unsuspecting Central Park public, agents returned with an even larger mission: offshore gambling. Agents Arnheiter, Flamm, and Todd rented a boat at the Central Park boathouse and hit the water on a warm, sunny afternoon. Arnheiter and Flamm were dressed in tuxedos and Todd was clad in a white dress shirt and black pants. The odd attire alone was attracting odd looks.
People in other boats: You guys coming from a wedding?
Agents: No, we’re high rollers.
The men rowed to a secluded dock on the opposite side of the lake where agents Demblowski, Sklaren, and Rainswept were waiting with contraband. The agents loaded the boat with a large white sign reading “OFFSHORE GAMBLING”, a gambling table, playing cards, poker chips, and a green casino visor. In a matter of moments the Floating Casino was in business.

The Floating Casino sets up near the crowd.
Agents: Hey you guys over there interested in some gambling?
People on other boats: This is legal?
Agents: Yeah, we’re offshore. International waters.
People on other boats: Don’t you have to be a certain distance offshore?
Agents: Um. We’ve never heard of that.

Folks watching the casino action from the shore.
People on the shore: Can we play?
Agents: Not from there, that would be illegal. Hop on a boat and head on over if you want to play.
The agents claimed that the Floating Casino would be making appearances every Sunday in May, and that while they were giving away free poker chips on this day, starting next week the gambling would be for real money.

The Floating Casino floats in international waters.

Three boats gamble together in harmony.

Flamm and Arnheiter wheel and deal.
Agents: We’re a new company. We’ll be back next week to gamble for real money.
Boat rental workers: Cool.
Apparently, giving out cups of Cheerios is a worse offense than setting up a casino on park property.
Yet another day of organized fun.
Mission Accomplished.

Gotta love it! -Jestrada
sounds like something my friends and I would do, great Idea for senior prank!
this one is great, I read ‘offshore gambling,’ clicked the link, saw that picture, and burst out laughing at my office. Hilarious.
"People in other boats: You guys coming from a wedding?

The first thing I thought of was "No ma’am, we’re musicians.".
Anyway, pretty good mission. The first photo cracks me up.
I find it odd and kind of twisted that you can gamble, but not give away Cheerios. Yet, at the same time, I’m not surprised.
hahah this is great, i love the picture with the other boat coming up
Wow this is halarious– you guys really cool
Super Cool
I’ve participated in a few of your shenanigans so far (and will attend many more in the future) and I hadn’t seen this one until I was exploring the website and it occurred to me – I saw you guys!! I was a relative newcomer to the city and took my Floridian mother to Central Park when she came up to visit me. I rummaged around in my picture collection, and sure enough, I took a pic of this hilarious group of people with the “OffShore Gambling” sign – I had almost forgotten. Hilarious!! I can upload the picture if you’d like, Charlie (although, it looks like you captured it well).
You guys are frickin’ hysterical… keep up the funny.
Thanks Brooke! I uploaded the photo here:

First video! It’s amazing how much a video adds to IE.
$20,000 in a rowboat . . . poor guy. Don’t think he’ll show next Sunday.
That was very funny. Why would you give out Cheerios? Did you really do it every week in may?
I have to say, you guys are my life.
wow. helluva good idea. of course the cheerios are a worse offense. they’re healthy. so sad i missed this, it looks like it would’ve been a hoot and a half. you guys rock.
Wow. Great concept, hilarious. :)
I figured Phil Helmuth or Daniel Negraneau of the WSOP would have floated up at any second…funny stuff!!! you guys are unique!
Excellent. Did I miss the rowboat with the kick-line of chorus girls. Some neon. And some seniors on slots. Excellent.
Awwww! poor guy! 20,000 bucks! still, a hilarious mission!
Poor guy. I would have loved to see that.
how CAN giving out cheerios be a worse offense than this?
still, it’s impolite to look a gift horse in the mouth.
