7/19/2007: Nathand Accepts "Micheal Vick"

I think this will be an easy one that I can do with the wife away on in service. I hope that I can make it unbelievable enough where people won't really take me for real.

7/17/207: Marianne Accepts "Pete and Repeat"

Hey, I know this one.

7/16/2007: Nathan Accepts "Paper Planes"

Sorry for the Late post, but I had the In-Laws in from out of town and the little wife was watching me like a hawk. I will have this task done and posted by tonight if that is cool. Sorry for the inconvenience, but like I said the wife was watching me like a hawk and life would be rough if anything happened to ruin the weekend.

This will be an easy one since there are like only a million different types of planes to make out of paper. I will fly them on my lunch break and post after I get back from lunch.

7/14/2007: Marianne Accepts "Print It!"

Shouldn't be that hard.

7/6/2007: Nathan accepts "Digg This!"

This is going to be sweet. Since Stephen showed me Stumbleupon.com I have been looking for a new site to find other stuff on the net other than what I am used to. I think I am going to like this task, because I get to read what is going on throughout the world.

7/3/2007: Marianne Accepts "Futile Fishing"

I like this kind of fishing...no worms!

7/2/2007: Stephen Accepts "When I Was Your Age"

This one should be pretty easy. ;P

6/27/2007: Nathan Accepts "Secret Admirer"

I think this task will be pretty fun except around these parts we call having a secret admirer while married an affair. I will have to pick a guy that works at eh plant and do a kinda appreciation pal kinda thing. If this will be OK for the requirements the task will be completed, if not then I will need to do something else.

6/26/2007: Marianne Accepts "Artisitc Explosions"

This should be interesting. I think the hardest part is going to be the editing but I will do what I can.

6/23/2007: Marianne & Brad Accept "Grocery Scattergories"

I don't know if Brad accepts or not but I do.

6/17/2007: Stephen & Tyson Accept "Sportgy"

Maybe we're not the best two people to get this in terms of the "rutless" concept, but I suppose it will give us an opportunity to play some sports that we wouldn't normally play or maybe even have never played? Should be fun.

6/14/2007: Stephen Accepts "Dream Vacation"

Obviously this is going to be centered around playing golf. Obviously.

6/12/2007: Marianne Accepts"Yummy Landscape Artist"

It’s a nice day today with the sun shining and clear skies, a great day to wander the area for a scenic view. I certainly have condiments for this task and the ability to find a pretty setting. Too bad the artist skills are missing.

6/11/2007: Todd Accepts "Feng Shui"

This is a little strange doing my own task, but was a pretty good one if I do say so myself.

[Flips up collar and gives a Fonzy thumb's up.]

6/4/2007:Marianne Accepts "Internal Pedometer"

Always an optimist, today I am happy I didn't break my legs.

6/1/2007: Todd Accepts "Mailbox Critic"

It's been a full day today, but I was able to manage some time to pull off this task.
Will post here comes the pics...

:D

5/30/2007: Marianne Accepts "Homemade Auto"

Plywood and I don't get along too well but there's something to be said about Tim Duncan's rookie card. I will do my best to get this rolling and hopefully not lose any kids while I'm at it.

5/29/2007: Stephen Accepts "Penny For Your Food"

Wow, that's a mean task! I will give it a shot though. Forgive me for not being more timely or eloquent, as I just spent the last 7 hours dancing with photoshop.

5/28/2007: Nathan Accepts "Mr. Owl Discovers the Truth"

This is going to make my tongue bleed. I have always seen the commercials, but never had the desire to really try this, but I guess I do now. I will give it my best without cheating and see what happens.

5/25/2007: Marianne Accepts "On Safari!"

Crickey! This sounds like a lot of fun. Those poor unsuspecting people! Thanks for a fun one to start me off. I'm looking forward to many more.

5/25/2007: Nathan Accepts "You Wanna Trade?"

I am going to give this my all. I will probably end up with only small things since I will be at work and the people here are like the stingiest people I have ever meet. I am still excited about getting to see what I can get when starting from something small.

5/21/2007: Stephen Accepts "Bad British Accent"

Ello, ello my loves. I do accept this task on behaf of me wounded brotha I doeth.
That dose-ent make any sense it don't.

5/17/2007: Stephen Chooses "Handicap Concert" From The Refusal Pool

Ok here is the one I am picking.

7. "Handicap Concert"
Pull into a handicap spot, sit there, with all windows rolled all the way down, and sing a song that is at least 3 minutes long, then leave.
Requirements: Video of the skit.

This should be fun; I've just got to pick a good location.

5/15/2007: Nathan Accepts "Fountain of Youth"

I think this will be a fun task to complete. I don't know where I will find a fountain to walk in that won't get me into trouble, but I will try to find one that I will have plenty of opportunity to have people to talk to me. Thank you Allison for a great Rutless task.

5/12/2007: Allison Accepts "Greeting Card Pitch"

I'm not totally sure I'll have time to actually "pitch" this to a greeting card store, but I'm sure I'll have time to make up the cards.. maybe...

5/11/2007: Brad Accepts "Canine Cuisine"

This is friggin' awesome! I didn't even have to design the cover! I'm headed to a pittsburgh pirates game tomorrow, so I'll be around plenty of publice areas. I don't think anyone will just notice the book if I just hold it. I'm going to hand it to people and tie my shoes and stuff like that. Thanks for the awesome task!

5/10/2007: Stephen Accepts "Pee-Wee's Playhouse"

Ok, I will do it, though I can't say I will put full effort into the screams in the middle of the office, but people will hear them anyways.
The word will be ROOM.

5/9/2007: Allison Accepts "Office Olympics"

Oh Boy! This is going to be great! I need to start coming up with ideas now, I guess. I hope you'll be in the office tomorrow Stephen! If not it looks like I'll have to get some of the old people to participate. I will be having fun with this. Unfortunately, I still don't have the videotaping capability as I don't know how to get my video camera to successfully hook up to my computer (Brad!). I will surely post pictures though! Fun!

5/8/2007: Stephen Accepts "Van Gohn"

Well, this is a great task! I will try to do it justice. Maybe it will make it on one of those websites that posts weird ebay auctions. :)

5/7/2007: Todd Accepts "Old McDonald"

This should be interesting for my first task! I'll be at WORK tomorrow from 9am to 5pm, so I'm going to have some interesting looks from my coworkers!

Ok, bring on the farm animals... Bock Bock... Moooo..

5/6/2007: Nathan Accepts "Chalk Body Outlines"

This is going to be crazy. I am going to have fun with this one, knowing how Stephen thinks. If this is a start I am waiting what will come up in the end. Also,if I end up in jail, give me a visit to let me know how things are going. Watch for the local hillbilly Mon. to see how it went.

6/2/2006: Seth Accepts " Use Heroin For Your First Time"

Oh I have a feeling that my lack of creativity will only make for a theme slogan not so much song, but maybe I'll get something.

6/1/2006: Tyson Accepts "Options"

This is one kick ass task! I will not give away which one I am picking, because I do not know myself. However, I will tell you it's not gonna be the wildlife, and most likely not the TV. Not the wildlife, because I am too lazy. Not the TV because I only have one good eye and I don't want to damage that any further. So it's gonna be something funny at this point. Haha. Anyway, this should be fun. Hopefully, Stephen can come during his lunch to help me film.

5/31/2006: Stephen Accepts "Fake Black Eye"

I already have it painted on. I think I got elbowed playing basketball yesterday. Yeah, that should stick.

5/30/2006: Brandon Accepts "Musically Declined"

I was at work all day, so just now get to accept this. I was going to quit until I heard Stephen's proposal, which you all will find out about towards the end of this week.

5/29/2006: Allison Accepts "Yeast Infection"

Well some of you may not know this, but I love to cook, so I'm going to have fun with this one. It will be kind of weird carrying him around though... that's just.. weird.. but I'm sure it'll be okay. I'll show him off to everyone I meet.

5/28/2006: Brad Accepts "Commando Joe"

I find this task to be a suitable initiation into Rutless.
Strangely enough I am very used to going commando for a day.
I used to work as a Scottsman for the Carolina Renaissance Festival.
What does a Scottsman wear under his kilt? Nothing, but on a good day, some lipstick.

5/27/2006: Seth Accepts "It's My Burfday"

This is actually a funny coincidence...well to me it is. All night at work I was singing "Happy Birthday To Me" by The Vandals. I can't wait to get my free ice cream or cake, but this might have to wait till Sunday because of my work schedule. Anyone want to go with me during my lunch break???

5/25/2006: Allison Accepts "Thomas Edison"

Well this one may be a toughie since I'm about as inventive as a sock. Oh, and also I would have failed shop class. But I'll give it a whirl. Also, I'm working from 8 am to 11 pm tomorrow with only a one hour lunch break and a thirty minute break between my two jobs. So, it'll have to be something I can come up with at work. Wish me luck!

5/24/2006: Brandon Accepts "Indoor Putt Putt"

I will make the greatest indoor puut putt course that this old world has ever seen. Hope that anyone who can will come over and play a round with me. BYOB. Great task Steve O.

5/23/2006: Stephen Accepts "Lefty"

I always find myself thinking, I need to use my left hand/arm more, so this should be good for me. :)

5/23/2006: Tyson Accepts "Friendly Test"

Should be easy. I'm working tomorrow at Wal-Mart, so i will have plenty of opportunities.

5/21/2006: Maggie Accepts "Bed Head"

Eh, this won't be too bad I hope.

5/19/2006: Brandon Accepts "Lemonade Stand"

I thought I was going to get something hard. This one should be fun. I will have to do it sometime in the afternoon. I will set it up as best I can. Who likes Pink Lemon?

5/16/2006: Stacey Accepts "Do It Yourself"

I have decided to do something I've been trying to do for quite a while now. I am going to finally beat Cyclops in the video game "X-Men Legends." I was talking to my friend Andy the other day about how hard Cyclops is and how we've never been able to beat him. This, my friends, will change.

5/15/2006: Seth Accepts "Test Drive" From Tyson

Well it just so happens that I am going to Hickory tomorrow to check out a 2004 and 2006 Subaru Sti. I sure hope this will cover the whole "fast" part of the task, seeing as this puppy is packing 300 horsepower. I think it will do just fine.

5/14/2006: Tyson Accepts "Stuffing It" From Brandon And Allison

Not really wanting to do this one at all, but oh well. My crotch is gonna look extremely large due to the sock as well as the natural bulge. Haha. Hope I don't get too much attention.

5/6/2006: Allison Accepts "A Pirate's Life For Me"

I accept this. My only problem is the lack of videotapageability. No video camera, in other words. Honestly I spend many days pretending I'm a pirate, daydreaming about the life at sea. I can do this.. but I'm not sure how I can provide the evidence. I'll try to get a picture? Also, I have to work at sagebrush from 4 pm til 11 pm. and in order to get good tips, I'm going to have to NOT pretend to be a pirate. But I can do this before and after if that's cool. And I may not be able to post til tomorrow morning.. we'll see how it goes.

5/4/2006: Seth Accepts "No Standing Order"

This shouldn't be too hard. I just hope I don't have to pee while on campus.

5/3/2006: Tyson Accepts "Around And Around I Go"

Sweetness! I'll do the running as fast as I possibly can run. Hopefully, I can get Stephen or a free hand to spin me as fast as they can so it'll be a bit faster than me doing it myself.

5/3/2006: Brandon Accepts "Sweet Cherry Pie"

Cool Task. I like eating cherrys!

5/1/2006: Stacey Accepts "Lopsided Political Debate"

I cannot begin to tell you how much I'm looking forward to this. I've actually never met Jayson, but Stephen says our meeting will be a kind of grammar nexus, probably resulting in a rift in the space-time continuum. I can only hope.

4/30/2006: Stephen Accepts "Post Secret"

I hadn't heard of Postsecret.com until we started Rutless. Then one day I was searching for popular blogs and came across it, so yeah, I have looked over it before this task. I'm debating over what secret should be revealed right now.

4/29/2006: Tyson Accepts "Kleenex Eating Champion"

Awesome!!! It's about to go down Guiness style!....as in the record book...not the beverage.

4/27/2006: Stephen Accepts "The Cat's Meow"

I should be able to pull this off. We shall see.

4/26/2006: Brandon Accepts "He-Man"

I hope I look good in a loincloth!

4/25/2006: Allison Accepts "High Fives to all the Guys"

This is gonna suck. My office is mostly men. Yay. Here's a question for ya: I'm just to high five them the first time I see them, right?

4/24/2006: Seth Accepts "Homework Pass"

This shouldn't be too hard to complete.

4/23/2006: Stacey Accepts "Smile, You've Got French's."

Although I feel less than stellar at the moment, I accept this task. I thought really hard about whining, complaining, and making an emo post about my lame life that no one would care about and then decided against that. You're welcome.

That said, I am lame. Watch out, parking lots!

4/21/2006: Tyson Accepts "Urban Legends"

Shouldn't be a problem. I'd be glad to solve these.

4/20/2006: Allison Accepts "It Came From 1982"

Even though this task was meant for Tyson, it is rightfully mine since I was next to go. So I'm accepting it. And I shall rule it. I got this. NO problem.

4/19/2006: Brandon Accepts "My Lovely Little Lump"

I didn't see this one until 10:30 at work. I had a big headache and went to bed as soon as I went home. I will do it.

4/17/2006: Seth Accepts "Unlucky Frank"

I must warn everyone about my horrible drawing skills. Also, my lack of an imagination. Oh well I have 7 hours of class to perfect it.

4/16/2006: Stephen Accepts "Mr. Stinklepuss"

I actually really didn't want to get this one. I think I used up all my luck in golf earlier today, so here I am, about to ask people if they want to meet Mr. Stinklepuss.

4/12/2006: Brandon Accepts "Milly Vanilli Style"

I accept it. I have the perfect song for it.

4/12/2006: Seth Accepts "Discrimination Is Wrong"

good thing i need a job!

4/11/2006: Allison Accepts "Lottery Of Indigestion"

Oh man. This is gonna suck. I hope those tic tac toes don't taste like ass. I'm lucky... I hope my luck will hold up.

4/9/2006: Stephen Accepts "Treat Yourself"

Well, I was kind of hoping someone else would get this one. There are several thing I've kind of been putting off getting or doing, so I'll be deciding on one.

4/7/2006: Stephen Accepts "Mad Skills"

Ok, first I will need to find a good, short goal to do this on. I'm sure I will be filming all of these. You might be suprised, I'm big, but atheletic for my size. Great task.

4/6/2006: Stacey Accepts "Road Rage"

Oh Brandon, you silly man. I love you. Seeing as how I'm something of a masochist anyway, this one will really be no problem. In fact, I think I'll rather enjoy it. I hope my fellow commuters get a glimpse of it, as well. This one should be fun, I think.

4/5/2006: Brandon Accepts "You Are You Beautiful"

I almost refused this one, because of time restraints and not being able to bring a recording device into a prison, but I know a way to do it now.

4/4/2006: Seth Accepts "Name That Tune"

Ok, ok. So at first I was ready to drive to Morganton and kick Tyson's face in, but after giving it much thought, I have realized that there is some good that can come from this. Oh just wait.

4/3/2006: Tyson Accepts "Supermarket Sweep"

Well, i would have rather done something along the lines of sports, but i guess this will do. The show "Supermarket Sweep" is awesome, by the way!!!!!!!

4/2/2006: Allison Accepts "No Cell"

Easy Breezy. Like Seth, no one likes me enough to call me, and therefore i won't have a problem. I will be at my office til 5 pm, so if I desperately need to make a phone call, I can use my office phone. I think I can handle the two hours afterward without a cell.. I hope!!

3/31/2006: Brandon Accepts "Save The Snails"

I'm going to try to do this after work tomorrow. It should be an interesting call.

3/30/2006: Stacey Accepts "I Hope You're Good at Solitaire."

My God, this is going to suck. I'm terrible at solitaire, and worse at life.

You're on, though.

3/29/2006: Allison accepts "Find That, Emo"

Shouldn't be too difficult. As long as I can find someone to go with me. This is brilliant by the way. The title is what gets me. Ah... emo. You should see my emo post from a few months ago on myspace.

I won't have any problems with this one. It's great.

3/28/2006: Seth Accepts "A Very Fortunate Task"

Oh I wonder how I'll acquire 30 cookies. Looks like I'll be eating Chinese tomorrow.

3/27/2006: Stephen Accepts "Target Practice"

I think this should be a breeze, but you never know. I could be off and end up hitting until my back gives out. :)

3/26/2006: Tyson Accepts "Ask Me About Chicken"

I wonder if you got this idea by thinking of my name....that would be mean. Just kidding. I accept the task. I'll have to have another cast member with me. That would be nice at least. Maybe i can meet Stephen for lunch Monday and we can do it then.

3/24/2006: Allison accepts "Little Extra Cheese On The Taco ?"

good thing i'm not a feminist or something. i have no shame when it comes to stuff like this. no problem :)

3/23/2006: Seth accepts "Squat Thrust Frenzy"

I guess I won't have to go to the gym tomorrow.

3/22/2006: Tyson accepts "Bleeding Carolina Blue"

Even though this goes against everything i have ever stood for, it was such a good idea for a task that i could not reject it. Here goes nothing....

3/21/2006: Brandon Accepts "Him Name Is Hopkin Brown Giraffe"

I'm going to hand them out to people. The hard part for me will be getting them printed.

3/20/2006: Stephen accepts "Alien Encounters"

Now that is a random, yet cool task! I may just convince them that there really are close encounters of the third kind in Burke County.

3/19/2006: Stacey Accepts "Drive-Thru Samaritan"

First out of the gate! It's sure to be splendiferous. That's a made-up word, by the way.
