gishwhes 2012: team nightstone

[amezri]

Sorry about the delay in posting this stuff. I've been sort of a bum on the internet... and in my LIFE.

This year, I once again participated in GISHWHES, Misha Collins' International Scavenger Hunt. Unlike last year, I was able to gather a group of friends, who invited their friends, to be on our 15 member team. We decided on the name Team Nightstone (Gargoyles FTW!) It was about a week and a half of insane item creating/finding. I didn't do nearly as much this year, but thankfully my teammates are awesome, especially the Californians and Australians in the group.

Under the cut are some of the items we created. I didn't count.. there were a lot. I'll try to label each photo/video with what the item is and who contributed.



#3 A storm trooper in full costume including leggings (not just the mask!) cleaning a pool. We must see someone lounging in a swimsuit holding a cocktail nearby. (Cindy)
This is my favorite photo from all the stuff we got :D


#45 Let's see your team displayed like the "Brady Bunch" opening credits except there are 3 rows of 5 pictures (versus the 3X3 we know from the "Brady Bunch" opening credits points). (Cyn)


#65 Create a 2 foot-high dinosaur out of sanitary napkins. (Lynne)


#86 A Bejeweled Bosom covered with nothing but jewels (Tristen)


#34 Calendar item: Wear cheese and wear it well. You cannot be wearing anything but cheese. You may use any type of cheese you wish. Supermodel it posed next to or on a classic car (a classic car is any car that predates 1980.) (Tristen)


visit the site!
#12 Create the Misha Collins fan site that Jared Padelecki would build if he only knew HTML. Submit a screenshot of the home page. The website's URL must be clearly readable from your browser's address bar. (Cyn)


#146 Make a children's doll from items found in your refrigerator or pantry. Go ahead and really creep us out with this one. (Cyn)


#53 Carve a Jill O'Lantern! Carve a pumpkin to look like a feminized Misha Collins. Bonus points for realism. (Lynne)


#14 A person in a business suit with a leather briefcase jumping into leaf pile. (Susan)


#36 Hug a uniformed Veteran. (Marta)


#110 Let's see your family dress and pose and create the "Worst Family Holiday Card Ever". Note: everyone must be holding a cucumber. If you use an image already on the Internet and try to "doctor" in the cucumbers your team will be docked 60 points. (Cindy, Jennifer, Ace)
Watch the bonus youtube video


#35 Draw or paint a portrait of Misha Collins and the Queen of England, both dressed in Steampunk, riding on a single stallion. (Lynne)


#70 Recreate the snake's seduction of Eve at a bus stop. Fig leaf, apple, snake, etc. (Ace)


#95 Kilt made entirely of sliced cucumbers. Must be worn by a man. (Tristen)


#76 Make a gorgeous wig out of cheese puffs and/or popcorn. Go shopping for diamonds wearing it. The image must show you in the wig, at the jewelry display case, talking to the sales agent, as you browse the diamonds. (Ace)


#69 You and a friend must take at least 50 of your stuffed animals/dolls on a field trip to a grocery store. All of the stuffed animals/dolls must EITHER be attached to your clothing or in a grocery cart or both. (Ace, Jennifer, Cindy)


#71 Sculpt your hair with gel, wires, tape, ornaments, animals, and whatever else into what someone would undoubtedly have to classify as the Most Epic Hair Hat the World Has Ever Seen (MEHHWHES) (Elizabeth)


#88 The Maryann Elizabeth Voisinet. Write a 10-line epically beautiful brilliant love poem addressed to "My Dearest Maryann Elizabeth Voisinet". In addition to whatever else you put in the poem, include something about how much you like her cooking. The poem should be from your team name. (Cyn)


#22 We've all heard of a "flea circus". What do "flea strip clubs" look like? (Marta)


#78 A one-page GISHWHES comic strip involving a rhinoceros, a tangerine, and an appendectomy. (Cindy & Jennifer)


#40 Create a portrait of Jensen Ackles entirely out of skittles doing his pouty "Blue Steel" look. Must be AT LEAST 2 feet by 2 feet. (Jennifer)


#77 If your team could give the entire world one piece of advice, what would it be? Have one a team member hold a sign bearing the statement over their head in front of an internationally recognizable landmark. (Cindy)

#127 You in a flight attendant uniform, on a public transit system (that is NOT an airplane). Once the passengers are seated, give a full safety demonstration. Use props and carefully choreographed gestures. (Elizabeth & Caitlyn)

#106 Film a Random Act of Kindness and set it to music. (May be up to 90 seconds.) Must include voice over. (Ace)

#129 One of you pulling up to a fast food restaurant drive-thru to order a meal, but instead of ordering a meal, you are only allowed to make sheep noises into the intercom. Must clearly hear the person on the other end of the intercom. (Jennifer)

#112 A mechanical catapult that sends a pumpkin more than 100 feet across an open field. MUST be mechanical. (Jennifer)
Watch in HD to track the pumpkin!

#140 A stop-motion film depicting the two by two loading of Noah's arc and the ensuing flood. (Marta)

#119 Recite "The Raven" to a crow. (Elizabeth & Caitlyn)

#124 Shoot an erotically charged scene. (No nudity! This is just the erotically charged foreplay). The film must involve a pizza man and the actors can ONLY talk about grammar and fonts. Please use at least three of the following terms, "kerning," "serif," "gerund," "participle," and "imperfective." (Elizabeth & Caitlyn)

#118 Create a video of a mock news show (realistic set) where you are at a desk and announce that GISHWHES has taken over the world and what that means for everyone. The more realistic the set/video the more points. (Elizabeth & Caitlyn)
