7/12/2007: Stephen Has Completed "Thing In A Jar"

This was a pretty fun task actually. You can view the flickr images below by clicking on the pics below. Here is the description of what happened:
I realized it would be way too hard to try and build a model like the guy did on the website, so I improvised and carved a monkey fetus looking thing out of a potato, with two peppercorns for eyes. Then I made the liquid concoction for the jar. I started with tea and BBQ sauce and then added in more buttermilk that gave it a nice haze and finished it off with water. Then I plopped the monkey fetus into the jar and added a weird label. I took it with me to Tyson's house and convinced his grandma that it was a real monkey fetus. The haziness of the liquid really helped in shielding it from being seen for what it really was. Tyson and I went to play golf and I took it with me there. On returning, Tyson's grandma wanted to see if again to show it to her friend. After leading them on about it for awhile, I revealed what it really was by pouring it all out and then destroyed the potato fetus with a 4 iron.
