7/10/2007: Todd fails to complete "Harry Potter and the Two Towers"

Sorry guys, my wife had surgery today and I will not get this task done. Too much other stuff going on and not enough time to play. I think I want to go back to being 9 years old again! Can't we have a task to build a time machine and travel back to our childhood?! That would be a great task!

Go ahead and choose a task from the the refusal pool and give me a point. All is going well here, but will be taking care of the missus for a few weeks. I should be back for next week, so don't count me out!

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.

5/26/2007: Marianne Has Completed "On Safari!"

It sure was an interesting day to say the least. If the people in my town don’t think I’m nuts than they’re nuts! I started off trying to observe people in regular places like gas stations and grocery stores but it didn’t work because people weren’t standing around long enough for me to capture them on film. I ended up filming at a park next to the zoo.
I dressed in my finest safari clothes and set off to watch an interesting mix of people. You can’t tell by the video but people stopped to watch at each location. You can hear them in the background and you can see me trying to get out of each location pretty fast, since I don’t know all the technicalities on stalking laws.
Filming five people was harder than I thought it would be. People move way too fast for me to be able to comment on their behaviors. In most pictures I just let their actions speak for themselves.
Here is the video:

5/17/2007: Todd Has Completed "Star Wars Parody Song"

This is to the tune of "Pirates who don't do anything" by Veggietales!
Here is the song if you've never heard it.

Ok, now the change up:
Jedi who don't do anything

We are the Jedi Who Don't Do Anything
We just stay in the temple and lie around
And if you ask us to do anything
We'll just tell you, we don't do anything

Well, I've never been Yavin and I've never been to Endor
And I've never used a mind trick on Sullust or on Drall
And I've never been to Kamino and I've never been to Geonosis
And I've never been to Bespin in the fall

'Cause we're... {Refrain}

And I never did my training and I never use the force
And I never light my saber 'cause I never fight at all
And I've never walked on sand dunes and I've never owned a droid
And I've never been to Bespin in the fall

'Cause we're... {Refrain}

Well, I've never whacked a bantha and I'm not too good at nuna ball
And I've never thrown my blue milk up against the wall
And I've never kissed a gundark and I've never gotten mynocks
And I've never been to Bespin in the fall

{Refrain}

And I've never licked a binder and I've never sniffed a dewback
And I've never painted daisies on the back of General Tarful
And I've never bathed in bacta and I don't look good in leggings
And we've never been to Bespin in the fall

Thank you, Thank you very much!

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.

5/10/07: Allison Has Completed "Office Olympics"

Well I had a lot of fun with this one. It was a trial getting people to help me out. Since I work in an office that's usually pretty slack, I thought everyone would jump at the chance to be a part of the office olympics. Unfortunately for me, today a lot of people were actually busy. Eventually I got John M, John K, and Chris to help me out by promising them fame and fortune. I lied about the fortune part, but maybe by appearing on Rutless.com they will achieve fame. Maybe not.

I broke it down into 3 events.

Longshot: A contest to see who could shoot a rubberband the furthest down the hall. Each contestant stands behind a tape line on the carpet and shoots as far as he/she can. Whoever shoots the furthest wins the gold.

Basketball: A contest to see who could shoot the most paperballs (out of 10) into a wastebasket. Each contestant stands behind a tape line in the carpet and shoots all 10 paperballs at the wastebasket. Whoever gets the most out of 10 into the basket wins the gold.

Chair Spin: A contest to see who could spin the longest off of one kick on the floor or desk. A stopwatch is used to measure the time from kicking until the chair comes to a complete stop.

Overall, I suck. The boys killed me at office olympics.

In the Longshot, John M shot the furthest, getting the gold. Chris got the silver, and John K got the bronze.

(click on pics to see full size)

In the basketball, John M got 8 out of 10, winning the gold again. John K, Chris and I each got 3 out of 10. Since there was a three way tie, we each shot again and John K got 3 again, Chris got 4, taking the silver, and I got 2.


In the chair spin event, Chris slaughtered everyone with an outstanding 1 minute and 14 second spin, winning him the gold. John M took his only silver with 27.3 seconds. I actually took the bronze here with 25.3 seconds. John K showed his age (old) by only spinning a measely 22.6 seconds.


Overall, John M was the big winner with 2 gold and 1 silver.


Chris came in second with 2 silver and 1 gold.


John K brought 3rd place with 2 bronze.


I didn't place since all I could win was one measely bronze.


I still had fun though. Next year I plan to train a little longer.

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!

5/9/2007: Stephen Assigns "Office Olympics" To Allison

You must host an impromptu office olympics, which has to consist of three or more events.
Requirements: Since you are going to be stuck at work all day tomorrow, let's try to make it a bit more interesting. This task is inspired by an episode of The Office, my current favorite show on TV. You must come up with 3 or more events that people could compete in, but they must be office themed. It could be throwing paper clips in a cup from long distance, or yardstick pole vaulting (probably not a good idea to do that one). You need to get at least two other people to compete in the events along with you and you should award homemade gold, silver, and bronze medals for each event. As for what you need to post. Obviously, describe the office olympics thoroughly: What were the events, who participated, who won, etc. You should also make your absolute best effort to post video of the events. If not, then at least post a lot of photos. Have fun and literally break a leg!

5/9/2007: Stephen Has Completed "Van Gohn"

Ok, I did this one during my lunch break. I basically took a picture of myself on my cell phone, sent it to the computer, and then went photoshop crazy on it, Vincent Van Gogh style, until I had created a "digital painting". Once I was done, I was ready to sell it. Until today, I have never listed an item on ebay, so I had to go through the entire seller sign up process and then I had to create the auction listing for my "digital painting". I set it up as a 5 day auction. I figure, let's wait and see if it gets any press. I have two sets of links here, ones to the actual ebay pages and ones to local copies of the ebay pages stored on the rutless website (simply for backup purposes). Hope you enjoy! And please bid! ;P

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. :)

5/8/2007: Todd Assigns "Van Gohn" To Stephen

Knowing your creative side, Stephen, this task should fit you to a tee. Your task, should you choose to accept it, will be to open an eBay auction that will last 1 day (if you do not have the 1 day listing option, then a 3 day listing is OK but will not end before the task is over). You will be auctioning off your very own digital creation, your interpretation of a Van Gogh painting. You may select any painting by Van Gogh and do your best to create something with the same style. You may spend no more than 30 minutes creating your “masterpiece”, we don’t want it to look too good.

In your listing, you must gush about your love for Van Gogh and how you’d like to one day be just like him. Allude to the fact that you are even willing to cut off your ear for inspiration if you must (especially if your masterpiece doesn’t sell).

At the end of the auction, you will send the winning bidder the full-sized JPEG of your
creation (which happens to be the exact image that you are using in the listing).
You should take a screenshot of your initial listing and any other relevant emails, bid
questions, etc. Describe why you chose the painting you chose to “copy” and give a brief
summary of the acivities on the listing by end of the day.

5/8/2007: Todd Has Completed "Old McDonald"

This being my first task and all, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I went into work with the full intention of getting a lot of laughs and a lot of strange looks. I got the day started on a pretty good note, but as the day progressed I found little time to get away to be an animal. When I was filming the first shot outside, I had told a few of the guys in the office what I was doing and when I started filming that part, they just happened to walk up and start harassing me. If you listen closely, you can hear them in the background “bocking” along with me. There were a few people off-camera that chuckled as they went by. In the shot with “guy in cube #39” (where I was making dog noises), he seemed like he was a little scared of me from that point on. He's a great guy, but I don't think he'll ever look at me the same again.

I had to leave from work and go straight to my son’s baseball game that’s where the last two shots were filmed. I had told the kids that we were going to make animal noises and they were so funny, I couldn’t help but include them in my submission.

All-in-all this was a fun task. Even though I don’t think I did it justice (didn't get to do an animal every hour), I do get extra points for adding in some cute kids, don’t I?!

Thanks Nathan for the laughs! Oh, and if you get a strange package at your door that smells of 3 year old pork rinds, I don't know anything about it. :)

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..

5/7/2007: Nathan Assigns "Old McDonald" to Todd

From 9:00am to 5:00pm tomorrow you must act like a different animal on the hour every hour.Requirements: You must physically act and make noises like a different animal every hour on the hour and film yourself doing the act. Post both the movies and your experience of the events. If you can get peoples reaction to your gestures that will help us know how good of an actor you really are. A couple of examples of animals might be a chicken, cow, or monkey. Have fun doing this and remember that the more creative you get the more comments the you will see.

5/7/2007: Nathan Has Completed "Chalk Body Outlines"

This task was awesome to see how many different places in public that you can find to draw chalk people. I went with Stephen to find all different places to do this since we were together. He used his cell phone to take the shots, since I left my camera at home. The one on the tennis court was done and right after a couple of kids just played on the court without noticing it. The one on the railroad tracks got a lot of looks by people passing by, wandering what was going on. We had one old couple slow down to take a better look. I know that the other three will be seen at some point and will be asked who or what did them. The ones that I did were in places that tons of people and animals can see them. I wanted to see the looks on all the faces, but really didn't get to stick around since it was getting a little dark. I hope that the rest of the tasks will be this fun to do.
You can view the pictures here:

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.

Cast Order For The Week Of 5/7/2007

Here is the order for the first week of Season 2 of Rutless. Brandon has dropped out, so I will be filling in for him until we fill the spot:
Monday: Nathan
Tuesday: Todd
Wednesday: Stephen
Thursday: Allison
Friday: Stephen (Filling In For Brandon's Spot)
Saturday: Brad

5/5/2007: Stephen Assigns "Chalk Body Outlines" To ?

You must draw 5 chalk body outlines in unusual places in public.
Requirements: You need to go buy some large white chalk (like kids play with in the driveway) and go out in public and draw 5 chalk body outlines (like police draw around dead people) in various, unusual spots. And when I say unusual, that can mean an unlikely place for someone to die or an impossible place for a body to be laying, such as on a wall. At a minimum you need to take 5 photos of the 5 outlines, which need to prove they were drawn in public and in unusual spots. Preferably, take additional photos to document the entire experience. If possible, get photos of people's reactions. Optionally, you can also use white spray paint so that you can make use of more locations where chalk won't stick. Describe the experience, reactions, etc. and include the photos in your post.
Example of a chalk body outline:

Additional Discussion: This is the first task for Rutless Season 2. It is not yet known who will perform this task. This will be decided when the random drawing is done on Sunday to determine the order of the cast members for Monday thru Saturday. The person who draws Monday will have to do this task or take a task from The Refusal Pool, but at a Penalty.

5/3/2007: Rutless Season 2 To Begin Next Week

It has been almost a year since the end of Season 1 of Rutless, so it's about time we brought it back for another go. A task will be posted Saturday and the order for next week will be drawn and posted on Sunday and then we will be back in action. What will this season bring? Embarrassment? Humiliation? Rough housing? Snakebites? Decapitation?
Hopefully.
But only time will tell. Stay tuned!

10/12/2006: Rutless.com Moves To Billtvshow.com

Rutless.com has now moved to Billtvshow.com as one of its content sections. A large portion on the website has been updated to have correct urls for images, videos, etc, but some still remains, so you may experience some dead links for awhile.

7/17/2006: Two News Updates

1. My Dan Marino postcard from the Postsecret Task made it onto Postsecret.com!
2. Rutless.com may be moving over to Billtvshow.com as one of the sections there, though it's not decided yet. No word on Season 2 yet.

7/2/2006: Bonus Task: Stephen & Tyson Have Completed "Stephen & Tyson Go To White Castle"

On the first weekend of July, Tyson and I left for Seymour, Tennessee, where I would record an album in a professional studio. After that was complete, our next goal was to go to the first White Castle we came to, as a tribute to one of our favorite movies: Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle. On the day of the recording, we ate a very small lunch and it was not until 10 hours and about 200 miles later that we reached the promised land. The meal was just as great as we ever imagined. We each had 10 hamburgers, also called "White Castles" or "Slyders". We also had 2 orders of fries each, a Big Red drink each, and split an order of chicken rings. You can check out all of the madness by clicking the picture:

The Cast Of Rutless.com Has Completed "Season 1"

Yes, after 12 straight weeks, Season 1 of Rutless.com has been completed. At some point, in the somewhat near future, I should be posting a full recap of Season 1. As of now, we have no idea when Season 2 will occur. We hope you have enjoyed this first season of Rutless.com and make sure to look for possible bonus tasks or material on Rutless during the offseason.

6/10/2006: Stephen And Seth Have Completed "Wal-Mart Games"

We went today about 3:00pm, right before Seth's work shift started at Wal-Mart. I was at a decided disavantage, as he already knows where most everything is in the store. We both chose twenty items and he finished putting mine back when I had about 9 items of his left. The items that I had to put up included aquarium solution, a grill, children's underware, a saturn shaped pillow, and so forth. Seth's items included a scooter, a folding chair, a desk clock, and a bunch more small items. Here are two photos of us holding the buggies of items that we had to replace:

Seth With The Items He Had To Put Up
Stephen With The Items He Had To Put Up

6/8/2006: Stephen And Seth Have Chosen "Wal-Mart Games" From The Refusal Pool

Here are the details of the task we chose: 1. "Wal-Mart Games"
Your task is to get together and go to Wal-Mart (or Target, or wherever). Once there, you are to each get a cart. You must seperate and go around filling up the cart with as many obscure objects as possible. Once the carts are full, you must them come together and switch carts. Then, you must put back, in the right place, all of your partner's obscure items.
Requirements: Post either video and/or pictures showing you did this task.

6/8/2006: Brandon And Tyson Cannot Complete "Hide And Seek"

Brandon and Tyson did not complete their task, Stephen and Seth can pick from the two person team tasks in the Refusal Pool.

6/6/2006: Allison and Brad Assign "Hide and Seek" to Brandon and Tyson

Brandon and Tyson, your task is simple. You are assigned to go to a local store, preferably a Wal*Mart, but a grocery store will do, and play a game of good old fashioned Hide and Seek. Make a game out of it. Have the person with the fastest time be the winner. Get someone to time you, or do it yourself.
Requirements: If possible get video, but if not, we'll go ahead and trust you. You must be TOGETHER at the place of business and tell us all about your hiding spots, and who had the best time, and the best place to hide. Good Luck.

6/6/2006: Brad and Allison Have Completed "Racecar"

Brad came out to visit last night from Durham, and together we worked for about an hour coming up with 30 palindromes. Now, our words are mostly 3 letter words. This is just the way it is. We promise we didn't use the internet. We did, however, watch Golden Girls and pay attention to every word that was said to try and come up with these. Let me just tell you, those Golden Girls need to use more palindromes. Ah well.

Here's our glorious list: (and can I just add that there are an uncanny amount of naughty words that are palindromes?):
1. racecar
2. dad
3. mom
4. did
5. dud
6. bib
7. bob
8. tat
9. gag
10. tit
11. pup
12. mum
13. eve
14. tot
15. pop
16. noon
17. poop
18. toot
19. boob
20. ewe
21. peep
22. tut
23. wow
24. gig
25. madam
26. nun
27. deed
28. sees
29. level
30. eye

We had a few more, but upon closer inspection (i.e. looking in the dictionary), we realized they weren't really words!
So there ya go!

6/5/2006: Allison And Brad Accept "Race Car"

Well it's a good thing Brad is coming to see me tonight, we can work on this together. I had no idea til this morning that we would be doing partner tasks again! ooops! We'll get it done!

Cast Order For The Week Of 6/5/2006

This is the 12th and final week of Season 1 of Rutless.com and after this week we will be taking a lengthy break. Hopefully we can go out with a bang by doing another week of two-person teams. Here are the teams:
Monday/Tuesday: Allison & Brad
Wednesday/Thursday: Brandon & Tyson
Friday/Saturday: Seth & Stephen

6/3/2006: Seth Assigns "Race Car" To ? And ?

This task in fact has nothing to do with a race car but everything to do with words. Palindrome: A word, phrase, verse, or sentence that reads the same backward or forward. Person and Person, your task is to find 30 palindromes, and post them. This work can be split up however you like, be it 15 a piece or not. And please don't just get palindromes off the net, try to come up with some creative ones yourselves.
Requirements: Post all of the palindromes that you come up with.

6/3/2006: Seth Has Completed "Use Heroin For Your First Time"

This goes to the tune of the Ducktales Theme Song

Life is a pain here in Morganton.
High fives, mustard, test drive
It's a rut blur
Might be buying Wendy’s
Or even hiding Cd’s
Rutless! Woo Hoo!
Everyday they're out there being
Rutless! Woo Hoo!
Tasks of daring, new, bad and good…
R-r-r Rut lurks behind you
There's the next task out to get you
What to do just get out and be
Rutless! Woo Hoo!
Everyday they're out there being
Rutless! Woo Hoo!
Tasks of daring, new, bad and good
Rutless! Woo Hoo!
Not pony tales, or cotton tales no
Rutless! Woo Hoo!

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.

6/2/2006: Tyson Assigns "Use Heroin For Your First Time" To Seth

Ok, so this task has abolsutely nothing to do with heroin or drugs or anything like that. I just wanted to put that as the title. Honestly, I've been thinking on and off for the past hour trying to come up with something for you to do. I think I've finally come up with something. Hopefully, you feel up to doing this. Seth, your task should you choose to accept it, is to write the lyrics for a Rutless.com theme song. I'm not going to put a limit on how long or how short it has to be, but hopefully if you do it you will put a little thought into it and make it reasonable. You don't have to do anything over the top by any means. Just a little tune. Maybe, hopefully, sometime in the future we will have Stephen sing the song. hehe. Well, have fun!

6/2/2006: Tyson Has Completed "Options"

Well, this task pretty much ended up sucking. I picked task #3. Which was to shake a can of Sundrop or Moutain Dew up for 20 minutes and open it in the passengers seat of my car. Stephen and I both thought that maybe 20 minutes was a bit too much. As in, maybe it would kill all the pressure in that extended period of time. It did just that. It was a big disappointment as far as the explosion went. We probably should have done it for about 3-5 minutes. Anyway, here is the video if you wanna check it out:
Shaken Can Option (Medium: 3.1 MB)

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.

6/1/2006: Stephen Assigns "Options" To Tyson

I've been saving this task up for awhile now and it's time to unleash it.
You will be given 5 options. The most risky option will also be the least time consuming, while the least risky option will be the most time consuming.
When you complete one of the options, your task for the day is complete.
Option 1: High Risk / Very Quick
Film yourself hitting a real golf ball inside of your house. You must use a driver and must swing as hard as you would during a normal drive on the course. It must make impact with a hard object. Whatever happens, happens.
Option 2: Medium/High Risk / Quick
Film yourself riding a bicycle full speed into a pine tree that is at least 5 feet tall. You may use a ramp if you would like. You can't hold back on the speed though.
Option 3: Medium Risk / Average Speed
Shake up a canned mountain dew or sun drop for 20 minutes. Film yourself opening the can quickly, with the can suspended over the driver's seat of your car.
Option 4: Medium/Low Risk / Slow
Sit as close as you can to the TV and watch a home shopping channel for 40 minutes. Take pictures and post some.
Option 5: Low Risk / Very Slow
Go out with a camera and take pictures of wildlife for one hour. Make a flickr set of the ten best pics.
Requirements: Post your reactions to each option and then tell us which you chose and post the required elements of that option.

6/1/2006: Stephen Has Completed "Fake Black Eye"

Well, I got up this morning and read the task and went and fixed up the eye with some kind of eye shadow pen that mom had. It looked pretty darn good, but I noticed it wore away very easy. When I got to work, I noticed several strange looks from familiar people, but no one asked me about it. I even went to lunch with my brother, dad, and cousin and none of them mentioned it. It wasn't until after lunch that one person asked me, "What happened to your eye right there?" I used the elbowed playing basketball story as I mentioned in the acceptance. That was it. Some odd looks and one question. I repainted it when I got home for a quick photo session and I've posted the best photo below. Click on it to view the full size:

Stephen's Shiner

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.

5/31/2006: Brandon Assigns "Fake Black Eye" To Stephen

Stephen your task is to make it look like you where in a fight last night. Try to make one of your eyes dark or both. I would use makeup if I could but use what ever you can. Also have a good story if anyone does think it's real.
Requirements: Please take some pics, I don't think videos will be needed unless you get a real blackeye. Have Fun.

5/31/2006: Brandon Has Completed "Musically Declined"

Stephen came over and helped me out with this one. It was pretty late and I was about to just go to bed, but then he found just the right song to play along with, so it turned out ok. Here's the video, in two quality formats:
The Blew Danube Waltz (High: 14.6 MB)
The Blew Danube Waltz (Low: 4.4 MB)

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.

5/30/2006: Allison Assigns "Musically Declined" to Brandon

Brandon, I hope you were born with a music gene, because your task is to make a musical instrument using non-musical instruments. When I was in 8th grade I had to make a wash tub bass. You can make anything you want! Be creative! Once you have made the instrument, sing a song to go along with it. It would be great if you could make up a little song about Rutless. It could be our theme song!!
Requirements:
Take pictures of the instrument, and if possible, a video of you playing it and singing your song with it!! Good luck.

5/30/2006: Allison Has Completed "Yeast Infection"

Well, I made a doughboy.. He sure was a looker too! I thought it would be a lot harder. I also thought when he was done baking he'd blow up and fall apart. He DID fall apart a little, but I used toothpicks to hold him together. I only got to show him to a few friends though, since I didn't get the chance to bake him til 8 pm. But those who did meet him (Carmen, Cheddar, and Meatwad) found him to be very .. um.. greasy? He was greasy, smelly and hard to keep together, but he was fun.. until his untimely demise.

Here is his story (click on the picture for the set) :

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.

5/29/2006 Brad Assigns: "Yeast Infection" To Allison

Allison, your task if you choose to accept it, is to form and bake a Pilsbury Dough Boy. You must take pictures of him prior to and post baking and carry him around with you all day. If you meet someone new throughout the day or run into a friend, then you must introduce your dough boy to them and take a pic of them together if possible.
Requirements: Post pictures as described above.

5/29/2006: Brad Has Completed "Commando Joe"

UNDERWEAR IS FOR SAFETY IF NOTHING ELSE! I must say, I've never gone commando with anything that zips and I never will again. If you have seen the movie, "Something About Mary" you are familiar with the Ben Stiller bathroom scene. Well yeah, it does hurt as bad as he portrays. Thankfully I have quick reflexes and was able to correct the situation without any major damage. However, after exercising caution during my other trips to the restroom, I must say that it makes for a much faster trip, only having to reach through one garment to take care of business. This is where another issue was noted. Even if you shake to the point that someone may think you're having fun, there is still that little bit that won't come off. I found that to avoid having that tiny wet spot on my pants, I had to wipe after going, which was very strange.
Going commando also made me think about sex way more than usual. I was much more aware of myself. So there we go. If you leave with nothing else, leave with the knowledge that if you must go commando, zip slowly, zip safely, and carry a band-aid just in case.

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.

Cast Order For The Week Of 5/29/2006

We'd like to thank Maggie for filling in last week and welcome the new cast member: Brad. His time at Rutless begins with a trial by fire on Monday.
Monday: Brad
Tuesday: Allison
Wednesday: Brandon
Thursday: Stephen
Friday: Tyson
Saturday: Seth

5/27/2006: Seth Assigns "Commando Joe" To ?

UrbanDictionary.com defines Commando as "free-balling, or going without underwear." You task...,if you chose to accept it is to go the entire day commando.
Requirements: Some sort of proof of this is needed. Also, tell what your day was like without wearing underwear.

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

Well for my Burfday Stephen and I went to Fatz. Much to my disappointment the burfday celebration I received was a little sub par. Here is a video of me eating away at my burfday treat.
Burfday Task Video (Medium: 5.9 MB)

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???

5/26/2006: Allison Assigns "It's My Burfday" to Seth

Seth, I hope you're feeling celebratory! Your task is to go to a restaurant, any restaurant and tell them it's your birthday and see what kind of goodness ensues. Your best bet is to go to a family restaurant because they are more likely to make a big deal out of it. I know for a fact that Sagebrush takes your picture and puts it in a card and gives you an Oreo Brownie Blast. But there are also many other choices of restaurants in Morganton.
Requirements: Take a couple of pictures or video to show your goodies! Tell us what restaurant you chose to go to, and what kind of special treatment you received!
Have fun! It's your burfday!

5/26/2006: Allison Has Completed "Thomas Edison"

Okay, So, I made something kind of stupid. But seriously, I'm just not technilogically advanced. I thought about it all last night and today and all I could come up with was a StinkShield. Sure, it's not the "greatest thing since sliced bread" but it'll do. Since I am working both of my jobs today, I didn't have much time or resources to make something awesome. I thought about making an invisibility cloak like Harry Potter's.. but apparently I'm too late.
Anyways this StinkShield is made using ordinary swimming goggles and Eckerd's brand Chest Rub (like Vick's Vapo-Rub). It would probably cost around $6.00 to make. The manufacturer's (me) suggested retail price is $29.99. Might as well turn a little profit!
Enjoy the pictures:

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!

5/25/2006: Brandon Assigns "Thomas Edison" To Allison

Your task, if you so chose, is to make a product from what ever you can, that if on the market, would make everyday life easier.
Requirements: Please tell us what the product does and how much you think it would cost for one of them. Take pics and or video if you can. Also give a list of the materials used in the making of this item.

5/25/2006 : Brandon Has Completed "Indoor Putt Putt"

This task was fun. Tyson played the round with me. I don't know who had the best score at the end, but I had a shot of a life time . I banked a shot off the cabinet in the bathroom from behind the shitter. lol
Edit: The final score was a tie: 32-32.
Video Links:
Indoor Putt Putt (Medium: 32.3)
Indoor Putt Putt (Low: 14.2)

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.

5/24/2006: Stephen Assigns "Indoor Putt Putt" To Brandon

This task is to be done in the solitude of your own home. You must create an entire 9 hole indoor putt course in your house. You should be creative and use everyday objects as barriers and to help make the design of the course interesting. It is up to you as to what you will use for the holes. I would recommend something like cups laid on their sides. You need to also set a par for each hole. You need to play the course, with at least one guest, and record the scores.
Requirements: First of all, describe the experience of making the course and post the scores from your match. After that, there are two options, you can choose one or both. The first option is to photograph each hole individually and put them in a flickr set. The other option is to film your match and post that.

5/24/2006: Stephen Has Completed "Lefty"

Well, if I had felt a bit better today, then maybe I would have done some sort of video or something for this, but I've got a full on head cold. Perhaps harder than doing stuff left-handed was to remember to do stuff left-handed. I started this morning doing my task. Brushing my teeth left handed was a bit odd, though the dentist says it's good to do that, as you will hit places you normally don't get to well. Anyways, I was constantly trying to focus on doing stuff left handed, though I actually realized most things I do, I do with both hands. So, I crossed things up. For example, I switched the items in my pockets. In one pocket, I usually keep my wallet, and my cell and keys in the other. Of course, I reached for the wrong pocket several times. Another thing I realized is when I unscrew the lid off of a bottled soda, I remove the lid with my right hand and then drink with my left. So I switched that up. It actually felt STRANGE drinking the Cheerwine with my right hand, proving how much I usually only drink them with my left. It also took probably twice as long to unscrew the lid using my left. Let's see, I opened doors left handed and I tried using my mouse left handed off and on when I had a chance to do so, but with it not being a left handed mouse, it really slowed me down. So, yeah, I did the task. It didn't even suck or anything, just made a few small things a bit harder. Thank God I didn't play golf or shoot basketball, well, at least before 7:00pm.

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 Assigns "Lefty" To Stephen

I thought of this one at the last minute, and i kinda like it. Stephen, your task should you choose to accept it, is to do your main daily functions left handed. This includes, combing you hair, brushing your teeth, eating you food, writing, or any other daily function that you always do right handed that is not listed here. If you realize you are doing something right handed and it's not included in that small list, then you must do it left handed. You do not have to type using only your left hand or write on any important pieces of information left handed. If you have to use you right hand for something like that, then feel free to do so. Just try to focus on your left hand for most of your daily functions.
Requirements: Provide a description of your experience using your left hand throughout the day and include any problems or incidents that you may have encountered. Pictures are not required nor will that prove much, but if you want to do something like that then you can. Have fun and don't work too hard.

5/23/2006: Tyson Has Completed "Friendly Test"

Well, i did the minimum. I had to alott some time for work too. The results were actually pretty positive. Out of 25 people i directly waved at, knowing that they saw me. I got 20 waves and 2 friendly nods. Which, were more than just a "what the hell is this guys problem?" type nods. So, i count it as 22 out of 25. I did this to a variety of people. Covering both genders, most all age groups, and 4 different races. The middle aged people as well as the 3 children that i waved at were the most friendly. Some of the older people were the most hesitant, but i still got a wave. There were still 3 people who totally ignored me, though. One was an elderly man around the age of 70. He just looked right at me and kept on walking as if i was just trying to be a smartass. Damn ungreatful elderly. Just because they're old they think they dont' have to be nice. Haha. The other was a black lady about 25 or so. She seemed she was in a bad mood, which is why i waved at her actually with a big smile on my face, she just looked right at me and kept standing in line with the same look of murder on her face that was there before i waved. The third and final person who ignored me was a teenager who looked to be about 14 years of age. He came off as a stuck up, rich boy type. The reason i say this was because HIS COLLAR WAS POPPED! I saw this as a prime target and went out of my way to make sure he got a look at me. I waved and once again i was ignored as if i was retarded or not good enough to be his friend. Haha. Oh, and the only door opening i did was for Seth during my lunch break at Chik-Fil-A......he didn't say thank you. I believe his words were, "That's right, bitch!"

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

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

5/22/2006: Maggie Assigns "Friendly Test" To Tyson

Tyson your task, should you choose to accept it, is to test how friendly people are these days. You are to wave at a minimum of 25 people throughout the day, and count the number of waves you get in return. Also, open the door for as many people as possible, and count the number of times you get a "thank you," or at least a smile and nod.
Requirements: Post the number of waves you gave and received, and the number of times you opened doors and received thank yous. Post any interesting events that might have occured while completing this task.

5/22/2006: Maggie Has Completed "Bed Head"

Well, all in all, this was a pretty easy first task for me. It certainly took away a normal daily routine. Which, I guess is the objective of this anyway. I didn't touch my hair throughout the entire day, excluding the natural putting my hair behind my ears. I did get a few comments throughout the day at school. A couple people asked if i was having a bad hair day and a couple people who i explained what i was doing to said it didn't really look that bad. At the end of the day when i brushed out my hair it hurt pretty damn bad.....and it itched. It pretty much just ended up being a bit frizzy and sloppy at the end of the day. Nothing too extreme. It was fun though. If you wanna check out the pictures throughout the day, then just click on the picture below:

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

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

Cast Order For The Week Of 5/22/2006

With Stacey's departure this week, we are still in the process of determining the new cast member. For this week, Maggie will be filling in the empty spot, and she'll be tested right away, with a task not so well suited for a female with a nice head of hair.
Monday: Maggie
Tuesday: Tyson
Wednesday: Stephen
Thursday: Brandon
Friday: Allison
Saturday: Seth

5/20/2006: Brandon Assigns "Bed Head" To ?

Your task who ever you may be: Starting when you wake up in the morning, you must leave your hair the way it is. You cannot touch it with anything that would modify its appearance in any way, such as hair products, shampoo, a comb, hair pin, etc. You may not wear a hat or disguise your hair so that other people cannot see it.
Requirements: You must pictures of your head/hair taken at three or more different angles. Please describe the experience of going through the day with bed head.

5/20/2006: Brandon Has Completed "Lemonade Stand"

Well this one was cool after all. Even though I spelled Lemonade wrong, lol. I just left the sign up and watched from an open window because it was so hot today. I hope that's par for the task. I was thinking that the idea would push me over the top if it didn't. Here's a video of the sign: Lemonade Stand (Medium: 830 KB)

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?

5/19/2006: Stephen Assigns "Lemonade Stand" To Brandon

For a half hour tomorrow, you must operate a lemonade stand. It doesn't matter where you do it or how bad it looks. The time does not begin during setup, you must actually have the stand open for business for a full thirty minutes.
Requirements: Post details of what happened and how much money you made, if any. You need to also post pictures and/or video of the lemonade stand.

5/19/2006: Stephen Has Completed "George Fakington"

Well, I think this ended up being about 4 pages double spaced. It reveals many little known details about George Washington that you really need to know. There are two versions, a Microsoft Word version and a plain text version. Here you go:
George Fakington (MS Word)
George Fakington (Plain Text)

5/18/2006: Stephen Has Chosen "George Fakington" From The Refusal Pool

I debated over 3 or 4 tasks in the pool, but my creative juices said that they wanted to have a go at this one. Since I'm not so happy about having to take a half refusal point, this is probably going to be vengefully over the top good.
8. "George Fakington"
Write a fake reasearch paper about George Washington. Nothing in it has to be true.
Requirements: The paper must written in Microsoft Word and be two pages long, double spaced, in Times New Roman, Size 12 font. You must be creative and as funny as possible. Post the paper and any additional things you would like to say about it.

5/18/2006: Stephen Refuses "Shhhh!!!!"

When I told Brandon the task, he said there's no way. And then Tyson said he would refuse it. Imo, it's by a mile the hardest task to date. It makes using my cellphone a non-option unless I get someone to call for me, so it's the virtually the same as "No Cell", but just so much harder. I gave a heck of a lot of thought to which words I would choose. If it had been last Friday, or next Friday, then maybe I would have done it, but I have some important stuff going on in the morning that really forces me to refuse it and I also expect to need my cell several times. I would show my man boobs to a bank teller before I did this, well maybe not... However, rather than posting nothing at all, I will be choosing a task from the refusal pool. I begrudgingly accept the half point penalty for refusal.

5/18/2006: Allison Assigns "Shhhh!!!!" To Stephen

Stephen, this one's going to be a toughie, but I know you can handle it. Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to choose 10 words. These 10 words are the only words you can speak from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Should there be an instance where you have some important meeting at work, then you are allowed to pause your task, but you must make up the time after 5:00 p.m. The reason I chose this task for you is because you're already so quiet. I wanted to get you to the point where you're just DYING to speak up!! You are allowed to write down anything at all to help you communicate, but you must only speak the 10 words you chose!
Requirements:
Post the ten words, and any proof that you can to prove your completion of task. Since I will be around you most of the day tomorrow, I can keep up with your progress. Good Luck!

5/18/2006: Allison Has Completed "Random Paint Pic"

Well, it took me about two hours, but I have completed the task and come up with a very awesome drawing. I am so superbly proud of the awesomeness of this elephant holding up traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge.

Click on the picture to see a bigger version:


I did another version with no sign and no cars. I like it better, but it's not really holding up traffic, so the second one is the final version. I also had a version before these, but accidently erased it when someone came up behind me at work and scared the bejesus out of me.

Elephants Rights!

5/18/2006: Allison Has Chosen "Random Paint Pic" from the Refusal Pool

Um, I guess Stacey forgot to post, so I'm going to go ahead and pick something from the refusal pool. I hate to do it, because I'm pretty sure that this will be Stacey's 3rd refusal point, but I have to go, so I'm going to.

I've Chosen:
7. "Random Paint Pic"
Draw a picture of an elephant holding up traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge in Microsoft Paint. You may not use any outside pictures and it must be drawn from scratch.
Requirements: You must post the picture that you drew and describe how you did it and how long it took.

5/18/2006: Stacey Cannot Complete "Do It Yourself"

Stacey has failed to complete his task and is assigned a refusal point, his third. That means there is an open spot on the rutless cast. If you have a digital camera and reliable internet access and would like to join the cast, please contact me by this Saturday. We'd like to thank Stacey for being a charter member of Rutless.com and for his contributions to the site, including the first task ever performed and the very memorable debate with Jayson.

Here are the links to the videos he was invloved with:
5/1/2006: Stacey had to engage in a mock political debate against the verbally inept Jasyon Morgan.
Lopsided Political Debate (Medium: 61.9 MB)
Lopsided Political Debate (Low: 27.3 MB)
3/20/2006: Stacey had to pay for the order of the person behind him in a drive thru.
Drive Thru Samaritan (High: 9.5 MB)
Drive Thru Samaritan (Low: 6.4 MB)

Thanks for helping kick off this mammajamma.

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.

5/16/2006: Seth Assigns "Do It Yourself" To Stacey

Stacey your task is to come up with you own task and do it. This shouldn't be too hard, but don't make it too easy. Just come up with a task that you will be able to finish.
Requirements: Provide pictures/videos of you task.

5/16/2006: Seth Has Completed "Test Drive"

Today I went to Hickory with hopes of test driving the new 2006 Subaru Sti. Unfortunately the car at the dealership was inside and they wouldn't take it out for me. Luckily the Honda dealership in Morganton just received an 04 model from some poor soul looking to start a family. Oh well, his lose. I was able to test drive the car but not able to take pictures while doing so. I drove the car about 3 or 4 miles down highway 64 and then back to the dealership. This baby is fast. I was doing 60 within a few seconds of taking off. I want this thing so badly. Here are some pictures of the car sitting outside the dealership before I drove it.

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.

5/15/2006: Tyson Assigns "Test Drive" To Seth

Seth, your task, should you choose to accept it, is to go to a car dealership and test drive an extremely fast car. It doesn't have to be a Lambo or anything like that. Although, if you can find one, that would be preferred. However, it does have to be an extremely fast car. Or, at least the fastest you can find that you would be allowed to take off of the lot.
Requirements: You will need to take a picture of the car and if you are able to, take a picture of the interior or get the dealer to take a picture of you driving. Try to pick up some speed while test driving it for the hell of it. Please include a discription of your experience as well. Maybe, we'll get a purchase out of this too. Instead of the "Geek Squad" we can be the "Rutless Squad". Ok, I'm done now. Good luck.

5/15/2006: Tyson Has Completed "Stuffing It"

Today was a huge sucess with my task. By that i mean, it went completely unnoticed and not talked about at all. Even by the task members. Also, as a side note: Brandon informed me today that the task was not intended to be an all day task. It was just for a public outing. So that's what I did. Brandon and I met Stephen and Seth at Ham's once again for lunch. To be quite honest, the sock that I put in my pants didn't necessarily make it bulge out that much it all. Maybe it was the shorts i was wearing. Anyway, we met them there and i think everyone pretty much forgot because Rutless wasn't even mentioned. So therefore, my task wasn't mentioned either. I managed to get out of this thing as clean as could be. Sorry for the disappointment. hehe. However, i did fail to meet one requirement. That being the picture. I took it out to play basketball in the gym with Seth and Brandon, because well, i just wasn't gonna run around with a tube sock in my pants. Not because i didnt want anyone to see it, but because it was extremely uncomfortable to do so. Since i had completed my appearance in public like Brandon said, i didn't put the sock back in. I guess i could take a picture now, but that wouldn't prove much. Anyway, sorry to inform you all that there wasn't much of an outcome on this one. I'm pretty happy with it though!

[EDIT: This is Tyson's 5th in a row successfully completed. Since he has refusal points, he gets a half point taken away. Congrats.]

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.

Cast Order For The Week Of 5/15/2006

Two person team week is over and now we move back into solo tasks, so here is the order for the upcoming week:
Monday: Tyson
Tuesday: Seth
Wednesday: Stacey
Thursday: Allison
Friday: Stephen
Saturday: Brandon

5/13/2006: Brandon And Allison Assign "Stuffing It" To ?

If you are male, from the time you wake up and put your clothes on and until 7pm, you must enlarge your crotch by stuffing a wadded tube sock down in your pants. If you are female, from the time you wake up and put your clothes on and until 7pm, you must stuff your bra with tube socks.
Requirements: Photos and descriptions of any unique experiences as a result of this are required.

5/13/2006: Brandon And Allison Have Completed "Pillow Booked"

We got 25 autographs exactly. Brandon got 7, Allison got 18. You can see most of them in the flickr set below, though the last three that Allison got aren't on there since her internet went on the blink yesterday, which is why I am posting instead of her. Anyways, click the picture below to view the flickr set of Pillow Booked:

5/11/2006: Allison And Brandon Accept "Pillow Booked"

I haven't actually talked to Brandon about this task yet, but I'm banking that this won't be a problem. I'm actually looking forward to this one! This will be fun since I'll be working at Sagebrush tonight! I can get random customers to sign me! yay! Stephen, you also said that if either of us gets 50 signatures, then the other doesn't have to get any.. hmm.. we'll see if one of us can pull that off!
Wish us Luck!!

5/11/2006: Stephen And Tyson Assign "Pillow Booked" To Brandon And Allison

Knowing that your work schedules effectively prevent you from being able to meet up, we are giving you a task that allows you to rely on each other, but can be done seperately. Based off of an overly artistic piece of crap movie called The Pillow Book, you must amass a collection of autographs written on your body. I have no idea what is the best kind of ink to use so that you don't die, but anyways, here are the rules of this task:
1. You can be autographed anywhere on your body, but remember that you will need to show pictures of the autographs later.
2. Between both of you, you must collect 25 autographs on your bodies or you both fail the task. However, if either of you fails to get 7 autographs on your own body, again, both of you fail the task.
3. If either of you manages to get 50 autographs on your own body, it supercedes rule 2 and the task is completed for both of you.
Requirements: Any descriptions of the experience of doing the task and a flickr set with photos of you being autographed and photos of the autographs.

5/11/2006: Stephen And Tyson Have Completed "Alphabet Hoop"

Sorry for the slightly late post and lack of content since last Friday, but hopefully it was worth the wait. The game was fun. After playing a full game of Alphabet, it makes Horse seem a bit lackluster. For those who are uninitiated to the game of horse, basically you alternate shots. If you make your shot, the person who shoots next, has to shoot the same shot and if they miss, they get a letter. The objective is to force your opponent into getting all of the letters in horse, but in this case we are playing every letter of the alphabet. Our rules of "Horse"/"Alphabet" include:
1. Horse is a shooting game, no layups.
2. You can't keep shooting the same shot over and over.
3. When you are on your elimination shot, you get two shots.
4. The no wrap around rule.
The game lasted about 50 minutes, but I managed to edit the video down to around 8 minutes. I recommend the high quality video. If you wanna know who won, watch the video:
Alphabet Hoop (High: 31.3 MB)
Alphabet Hoop (Low: 9.4 MB)

5/9/2006: Stephen And Tyson Have Chosen "Alphabet Hoop" From The Refusal Pool

Since no task will be posted for us, the rules state that we must choose one from the refusal pool and this is the one we chose:
1. "Alphabet Hoop"
Your team task is to play the traditional basketball game of Horse, but rather than using the word Horse, you should use all 26 letters of the alphabet.
Requirements: You must post a description of the game and a video of the better shots that you are able to record.

5/9/2006: Stacey And Seth Cannot Complete "Wal-Mart Games"

Stacey and I are unable to complete Wal-mart Games.

[EDIT: Refusal points have been assessed. This task will be added to the refusal pool and Stephen & Tyson will choose a two person team task from the refusal pool.]

Cast Order For The Week Of 5/7/2006

The first Rutless.com two-person team week is upon us. Teams have been drawn. Each team will have two days to perform their task and will post the results on the second of the two days. The team that goes on Friday/Saturday is a bit unlucky, as they only get to make a task for one person, has the regular solo style will return the following week. Here are the teams:
Monday/Tuesday: Seth & Stacey
Wednesday/Thursday: Stephen & Tyson
Friday/Saturday: Brandon & Allison

5/6/2006: Allison Assigns "Wal-Mart Games" To ? And ?

Well I feel honored to be the first one to assign a 2 day 2 person task. I only hope I can live up to expectations here. Person and Person, your task is to get together and go to Wal-Mart (or Target, or wherever). Once there, you are to each get a cart. You must seperate and go around filling up the cart with as many obscure objects as possible. Once the carts are full, you must them come together and switch carts. Then, you must put back, in the right place, all of your partner's obscure items. Since you won't have a watchdog, the honor system must be used.
Requirements: Try to get video and / or pictures showing you did this task. Good luck. :)

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

Um.. well... I did act like a pirate as much as possible today. I even used my favorite pirate pick up line on a guy at sagebrush and asked "can I swash your buckle?" He didn't get it. I used my pirate nickname, Captain Blinkey. I love acting like a pirate. I just wish I could have done it all day, but Sagebrush has rules and I like to make money.
Any who, here's a picture of me pretending to shoot a friend.. as a pirate:


Sorry I don't have video..I wish I wish I had a video camera.. Santa?

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.
