Gishwhes day 5 and 6

[tripperfunster]

Item #135 Make a Smart Phone that Alexander Graham Bell might make, out of items that he might have used. Any excuse to duct tape a chicken!!


Item #40 They say"A dog is a man's best friend," but they are sexist. Dogs can be women's best friend too. To prove it, make on entirely out of feminine hygiene products. The dog must be at least 40 centimetres tall.


There is a feminine protection item every year, so in anticipation, I made this Marie Antoinette maxi pad wig. I KNEW it would come in handy!!

Item#182 Paint a mural of one of your heroes on the side of a railroad boxcar or semi truck. you MUST have the owners permission and the truck or box car must be in use, not decommissioned. Your painting must cover at least 1/2 of the side of the truck.

Is it a surprise to anyone that my hero is Bill Murray?

item# 75 Gishzoontite! Get a host or reporter on a major network news or talkshow program to say Gishwhes! as a fake sneeze, as if they are trying to sneak it on the air.
We got one (two actually) and our team mate Dianne also did! Whee! (and we got on the news to boot!)

I also got two more items, a group of at least 5 uniformed police officers popping and locking and an 'impressive' conga line of uniformed postal workers, but I'm not supposed to post these ones, so that no one gets fired. :D

Wow! The truck is amazing, and I bet nobody else did the Hygienic Dog with quite such style.

Thanks! I've heard of some great dogs, one that was pooping tampons and another that was scooting it's butt on the ground, with gummy worms coming out.

I am much too classy for those. ;) I am dying to see some others, but I'm very proud of this one.

I will be amazed if you guys don't win again this year. Those are some stunning entries!

Thank you dear! I certainly hope so, but the competition is SO much bigger than the year that we won. Time will tell!

Oh you and your Marie Antoinette! I never saw yours when I got my batch for coffee book judging the other day...
I foresee a Vatican Cameos comeback to winning ways this year!

Hee! Thanks! I think the tampon thing is an item that pretty much EVERY team does, so there are probably thousands of entries.

I cannot believe I didn't notice the chicken until you pointed it out. Wow.

:D There is a LOT going on in that pic.
We really should have chosen a plain, white blouse for her, but I don't own one! :D

Oh, and how did you manage the truck?

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

To get it? Or paint it?
I just went to a trucking company and asked. They were a little sceptical, but eventually gave me the okay. They also said that they needed it the next morning, so I would have to paint it after they were closed, and get the photos done before they opened the next day. Of course, it was raining until 3 in the morning, so we went out then, painting it during the night and took the photos as the sun rose. Then went and snarfed waffles at Smitty's before going home and catching some sleep.

And, of course, the truck sat there for three days without being moved. ….

Thanks! Yup, that's what I was asking. I know you had some ridiculously late nights in the name of Gishwhes. :(
