2013: A lull in picnic-table stacking

The last S-R story on such antics that I can find in our electronic archives appears to have been published in late 2012.

Care to explain this apparent suspension of stacking activity?

A) The perpetrators got bored. B) They went on to become contributing members of society. C) They went to college. D) They were disappointed that, instead of blowing everybody's minds or having all of Spokane up in arms about the table-stacking, most people simply didn't give a damn. E) The perpetrators discovered new modes of alienation. F) The girls they were trying to impress labeled it juvenile and pointless. G) A person can only devote just so much energy to being a zany madcap before peers brand him an irredeemable ass. H) The perpetrators got beat up by a roving band of puppeteers who came upon a stack-in-progress in a local park. I) One of the perpetrators bragged about the stunt to his step-mom and was taken aback when, in a weary voice, she asked if he didn't have anything better to do. J) It's still going on but, like baseball broadcasts that don't show drunken idiots who have run onto the field, the Spokane news media have agreed to ignore it. K) Other.
