Gishwhes is coming!!

Oh God, oh God, oh God, I'm so excited! Only one more week!!!

In preparation, my team is making silly 'training' photos, so I took these.

Each year they've had the teams make some sort of sculpture out of sanitary napkins and tampons. I took the human ones first, but then thought the latex horse head would add some class to it.

The caption reads: Due to a near catastrophic failure in adhesion last hunt, the Vatican Cameos has hired an independent lab to field test the strength, absorbency, wind resistance and flavour of 1300 different brands of feminine protection. In the race for quality, there is no finish line.

Last year I begged and threatened asked nicely for Marta and her children to pose with fake moustaches outside of the Dali museum in Spain. Any other international peeps willing to sully themselves for my team????

I signed up for gishwhes this year, so I am anxiously awaiting assignment to my random team of 14 other strangers... lol.

Yay! Good for you!
They will be lucky to have you hon!

Colaborating is totally not allowed, but pm me if you get stuck or need any ideas for anything! <3

Thanks : ) I already told my boss she might have to help me take some... unusual... pictures. I'm not sure telling her about the sanitary napkin sculptures fully conveys the oddness of gishwhes.

I"m not sure if ANYTHING properly conveys the oddness of Gishwhes!

Our team is looking for odd people to fill our last few spots if you are interested???? PM me....

Ha! You are amazingly brilliant, you know that?

And the fact that you have access to latex horse head surprises me not at all since you are just that brilliant.

Hee!

I bought it right before the hunt last year, because I thought I'd need it. I didn't, but ended up using it anyway, because LATEX HORSEHEAD!! :D

This year I've pre-made a unicorn horn for my white mini-horse. I'm sure I"ll work it into the hunt somehow!

I'm in Orlando, so anything theme park related is right up my alley. Also work in an airport if that becomes relevant.

oooh yay! I will totally take you up on that!! Thanks!

I'm in Denmark, and willing to help if I can. :)

That is fantastic news! THank you! The list comes out on Sat Aug 2nd. I will certainly let you know if there's anything near you! <3

Thanks!

Yup! Viking Surprise trip this year. Soooo fun! But hey, we can't win this year, so don't worry!

Yay! Great photos XD

I'm in the UK, if I can help with anything I'd be happy to. We have a castle in our town, a big art gallery, and lots of eccentric British people... C:

Sweet! Whereabouts are you? We have one team member near Oxford!

Ah, extra Brits are probably surplus to requirements, then, but I'm near the East coast.

You can NEVER have enough Brits!! :D
I know little to nothing about the geography of the UK (or all of Europe) so you can be sure that I'll be calling on you, even if the task is 1000 miles away. :)

I've been lucky so far. I've 'used' friends from Iceland and Spain, and each time the task was in a reasonable distance from them.

Canada is so ridiculously huge and spread out, that the closest major city to me is a 6 hour drive, and that city is pretty much exactly the same 'lameness' as the one I'm in.

Let's hope small towns feature prominently this year! ;)

Are you anywhere near Mount Snowdon, Wales?

There is an item there that we need!

I'm sorry, nowhere near! :(

[identity profile] tripperfunster.livejournal.com 2014-08-03 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw, too bad! You don't know anyone who would be willing to climb Mount Snowdon, do you? (I"m told there's a train, for the lazy)

I'm asking around. A FOAF just did it last week, dammit!
