Rutless - Get out of your rut!
As people age in life, they tend to get stuck in daily routines. Sometimes these routines are so precisely repetitive that they are referred to as "ruts". Here at rutless, our goal is to stay out of these ruts. Each day, a cast member of rutless is given tasks that he or she must perform for that day. Stay tuned to check out what interesting things our cast members get into. Click here to view The Rules of Rutless.

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.

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.

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.

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!

5/9/2007: 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!

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.

6/1/2006: 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.

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.

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???

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!

5/6/2006: 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.
