Item #185 - We're movin' on up!
IMAGE or VIDEO. Get "GISHWHES" spelled out at night by using the effect of lit and unlit office windows in a skyscraper. We must be able to clearly see the word and it must span at least 30 stories.
We could only get permission for a limited number of offices, so we had to spell GISHWHES out letter by letter - not exactly what we wanted, but we were thrilled to even be able to try this item at all! Thank you, Seattle!
Item #40 - The Answer is Blowing in the Wind!
VIDEO. Collect 100 clusters of dandelion fluff balls, and with the help of friends, blow them all clean within 8 seconds. While you’re at it, you might as well wish for world peace.21 POINTS
Item #181 - Can't Touch This
VIDEO (20 seconds). The 1980s were great for break-dancing and neon clothing. Remember the "backspin?" Have a junker car do a "backspin" (upside down) on a piece of cardboard set to 1980s rap. The car must have some neon decoration.167 POINTS
Winnipeg: Where all the cool s*%t is going down, yo.
Item # 177 - Traffic Safety Ponderings with Jamie Ford
VIDEO. A NYT best-selling author or Tony-award winning actor or actress doing a dramatic reading of a section of this:http://apps.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/hdbk/right_of_way.htm112POINTSSubmit
THANK YOU SO MUCH, JAMIE!!!! *smooches from the VCs*
Item #175 - Art in Motion
VIDEO or IMAGE. Rollerblade through a museum - Steve Martin style - but wearing a sock monkey hat.64 POINTS
Julie and Nic had a blast filming this video, and were surprised that they didn't get kicked out for laughing so much!
Item #172 - Elopus on Parade!
IMAGE. One of my big pet peeves is that parades only seem to happen on certain designated holidays or for special events. Obviously, it is our god-given right to have a parade anytime we want. Build a Mardi Gras-style parade float and drive it down main street. We must see something related to GISHWHES on the float (a mascot, an item, etc.).108 POINTS
*This was supposed to be an image, but we got a little carried away and really wanted to see Tripper parade down the road in her chariot! Who doesn't want to see that, really?
Item #166 - I Can Taste it in My Coke, Enough to Make My Teeth Corrode (<--Sing to the tune of Radioactive)
VIDEO. Time-lapse: Re-enact the 1980’s "Pepsi Challenge" with a twist. Take two human molars and put each in a glass. Pour Pepsi into one glass and coke into the other and allow them to sit for 72 hours. Remove. Which is better for discoloring/dissolving teeth? Coke or Pepsi?32 POINTS
Item #164 - Chicken Soup for the Soaked
VIDEO. Your friend is in bed, not feeling well. Feed them a big bowl of warm (not hot) chicken noodle soup. One caveat: instead of feeding them with a spoon, use a leaf-blower.73 POINTS
Kat's sinuses cleared up once we removed most of the noodles.
