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.

7/12/2007: Stephen Chooses "Thing In A Jar" From The Refusal Pool

From the refusal pool:
Today you must carry around a thing in a jar with you.
Requirements: Go to this site: http://www.traipse.com/thing_in_a_jar/
Now you know what you need to do. Create a thing in a jar and carry it with you today. Take some pics for us so we can see it. Let us know if people asked about it and if so, what they thought it was.

I'm gonna try to do this one. Marianne also knows her task, so we should be able to get things rolling along again.

6/8/2007: Todd fails to complete "Thing in a Jar"

Have you guys ever had one of those days where it seemed that nothing went right. Well that was my day today.

If possible, I'd like to postpone this task and finish it on Monday. If that's OK, then leave me a comment. Otherwise I'll go ahead and post the next task.
