501st Takes on GISHWHES


Nefthys

Recommended Posts

Some of you may, or may not, be aware that last week was GISHWHES. It is an international scavenger hunt that takes place all over the world with thousands of participants. If you are curious to know more, check out their website: https://www.gishwhes.com/

 

This year we decided to try and put together a 501st team. We named our team The Empire and tried to keep as many of our tasks Star Wars themed as possible. It was an amazing week of craziness and a ton of fun! I thought I would share just a few of the silly things we had to do with everyone.

 

Task #3: IMAGE. It's "me time." Spoil, pamper and be decadent to yourself like you never have before. Oh, and P.S., you’re dressed as a Stormtrooper.

Item #22: VIDEO (20 seconds). Because of our subversive influence, most governments have declared GISHWHES to be a national security threat. Have a uniformed officer explain to a unit of servicemen how to neutralize a hostile GISHER.

 

 

Item #70: VIDEO. You know how at Starbucks they ask your name and write it on the cup so that when your latte is done, they can say, “Misha, skinny decaf grande latte - extra foam, extra hot, lightly sweet!” When they ask for your name, give the most ridiculous name you can think of when you order your Starbucks beverage. The video is of the barrista announcing your drink and your absurd name.

 

 

Item #92: IMAGE. Forgive someone with whom you have been holding a grudge against.

Item #113: VIDEO. Pressure wash something you really shouldn't pressure wash.

 

 

Item #120. IMAGE. Feed your demons. You are not permitted to submit an image of you eating desert.

Item #133. IMAGE. Draw a New-Yorker-style cartoon for the caption "I told them he was half-elephant!"

Item #141: IMAGE. A museum-quality installation exhibition of the dishware in your cupboard. Artist Statement is NOT optional.

Item #164:164. Your friend is in bed, not feeling well. Feed them a big bowl of warm (not hot) chicken noodle soup. One caveat: instead of feeding them with a spoon, use a leaf-blower.

 

 

Item #170: IMAGE. Trolling for fish is when you drag your line slowly through the water hoping to fool a fish into snatching your bait. On your favorite social media site, create a new user. Your profile avatar will be a photo or drawing of Orlando Jones. Your user name will be evocative of "Orlando Jones." Now, masquerading as Orlando Jones, troll for--and hook--at least 400 followers.

Last one that is mainly Star Wars themed. A huge Thank You to John Jackson Miller for helping us with this task!

 

Item #177: VIDEO. A NYT best-selling author or Tony-award winning actor or actress doing a dramatic reading of a section of this: http://apps.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/hdbk/right_of_way.htm

 

 

I am really looking forward to doing it again next year!

 

Cheers,

Deez
