More Gishwhes stuff
Dec. 9th, 2013 11:06 pmI realized I hadn't posted all of my contributions to the hunt this year, so here we go!
Most are videos, but all are only 30 seconds or less and all are worksafe. :D
Item 103 (video)
Create the packaging for a 'pet cotton ball.' Get it put on a store shelf and sell it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDhIjtmVgeg&feature=youtu.be Rachel rocked the editing on this one.
Item 136 (video)
Train a parrot to say Jensen or Ackles or both. Double points if the parrot chuckles after seeing it.

This is my friend's parrot 'Bantu'. Again, all editing credit goes to Rachel.
Item 144 (photo)
Children behind the counter of a post office, dressed in postal wear, helping adult customers. They must look really bored. Link to photo: http://imgur.com/k4Cy3zV
We live in the country, and have a teeny little post office across the road from us. I went over there and asked the woman (who also lives there, btw) if we could do this. Yanno, after explaining the hunt and that it was for charity etc.
Her: Well, ... I don't have any postal uniforms in children's sizes.
Me: Well, yeah! I'm pretty sure the post office doesn't MAKE them in kid's sizes. That's kind of the joke. It's supposed to be a funny picture.
her: I don't think Canada Post would find this very funny.
Me: sigh.
Seriously, in both years, it's been the post office that has been the biggest door slamming in my face. So about 2 hours before the hunt ended, I realized that the little gas station in the little town we leave near ALSO has a post office there! Major bonus being that the employees there aren't actually Canada Post employees, just REGULAR NON-ROBOTIC HUMANS. They also don't have postal uniforms, so I printed out some stickers with the Post logo and dragged my kids down there. Of course, they were completely accomodating, and I still kick myself for not thinking of them first.
Item 66 (photo)
Four photos joined into a single digital image. Shoot a real life comic book page. Basically, make a four panel comic, but you can't use photoshop. All words, titles, speech bubbles etc must be 'live' and 'in person'. This is pretty lame, but hey, you can't knock them all out of the park, can you?
