Marta: That is fine, but not what I meant, either of you.

Bak & Osiris: ...

Marta: Bak, your Guildmates, while under the control of a volatile being, severely wounded Felix, the head of the Yggdrasil Research team. He’s currently comatose still, even after all this time... if his condition worsens, understand that Lars will be punished, regardless of the revelation of this... thing attached to him.

Lars: Gah...

Gisela: Heheh~!

Mysterious Being 1: ....

Coda: That seems a bit unfair-

Aina: No penalty would be foolish. That much I will NOT back down on.

Bak: So, if I capture this other creature, what’s his fate then?

Marta: We will lighten Aina’s idea of punishment as much as-

Aina: If this other being is even real, and you bring it to us ALIVE... I’ll consider a fine instead.

Marta: Humph...

Bak: That’s easy enough to deal wi-

Osiris: No it isn’t!

Bak: Drop it, there’s no point in going back and forth on this...

Coda: He’s... got a point.

Osiris: ... Tch... the reason I wish to involve Pau and Bertrand’s squads have more to do with the current situation of the 12 members you intend to allow to go on this “mission”! 

Goro: ... Go on.

Osiris: The threat of the Frosty Gang is real in Hoarfrost, and among the 12 Pokemon that fought a version of that creature or the real thing through Lars’ body, only 2 are totally healthy if the report is anything to believe. That’s one issue. 

Osman: ...

Marta: Very true... however, the Shaymin Guild is often quick to improvise, especially with Wilds... I’m sure Bak can come up with something.

Bak: If I could utilize my Northern Bra-

Aina: After what they’ve done? And dragging the Rime City Mayor into this with her apparent threats?? No... if any stray members get involved, whatever, but no branches can be called to aid you here, Bak...

Bak: ...

Lars: ... How is any of that fair...?!

Mysterious Being 1: ... (They will lose...)

Coda: (It’s like they want him to fail... or kill it...)

Osiris: ... Ghhh... The other is... if this other one is as powerful or even more powerful-considering the only dungeon in Hoarfrost is a high-level dungeon-then the threat of it being overwhelming for them is highly possible: imagine if that one succeeds in capturing someone of Bak’s level and controlling them? If Coda and I are to stay here and watch over the one latched onto Lars, then someone of Pau and Bertrand’s levels NEED to be involved! That’s my reasoning...

Coda: Cassandra help you figure that one out-

Osiris: No. I may overreach and overreact when my guildmates are concerned... but I can read a situation well enough, Coda. Pau and Lance have also worked with Bak-if you have any trust issues with him going-as is becoming more and more obvious, Council Aina... they can subdue him if needed. (Or help him succeed...)

Aina: Humph!

Coda: ... Heh...

Gisela: Too bad I can’t go along, this sounds fun!

Marta: Stop it. Fine. This is acceptable.

Goro: I agree.

Osman: Hrm... (Osiris...)

Bak: That’s fine, though we’ll need to get there quickly, if Osiris’ concerns are real...

Aina: Humph... and how do you intend to do that?

Bak: You said I can’t call in Guild Branch help... you didn’t say much about Retired Shaymin Guild members... and one of them runs a special high-speed Sky Taxi Service nowadays...

Aina: Tch...

Bak: I’ll need to get to making that call, so... take care of Lars for me...

Lars: Guildmaster-

Marta: A moment, Bak? I’d like to discuss something with you, not associated with this situation. Alone if that’s acceptable.

Everyone: ???

Bak: ... Huh?

Aina: Heh...

[Private Conversation??]

So....that Pokemas datamine... I AM SO HYPED FOR SONIA AND YAMPER. Honestly I think that was my favorite part of the leak. I’ve talked about this a couple of times on my blog but I really wanted to see Sonia battle and now we’ll finally see it.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a person who thinks that the only way a female pokemon character is valid is if she’s a trainer. But the fact that the game made it clear that she was talented (per Opal’s note), good enough to be Leon’s rival at the time, and that she got miffed at the beginning in the game because Leon didn’t mention they were rivals all pointed to the idea that we would perhaps see her in action. Either in a surprise battle in the post game or a perhaps teaming up with her in a Dynamax raid. Even more damning? The battle models that were unearth in the swsh code for Sonia both in her regular and professor’s outfit.

So seeing her finally get to show off her battle chops and judging by some comments I saw on Twitter her sync grid looks to be pretty good (I could be totally wrong about this as I can’t Pokemas on my phone). 

Then there’s Nessa. Nessa’s outfit is so cute and I love that they are pairing her with Eiscue letting her branch out of the water typing while still having a water connection.

Then Lusamine with the Dusk Mane.Ultra Necrozma Sygna Suit pair. Oh God...like okay she looks beautiful and I’m sure this has to do with the upcoming villain arc but...OH GOD. Someone keep Lillie, Selene, Elio, Hau and Gladion far away from her. 

And then there’s our favorite champion Leon. Now like anytime he gets anything it’s always a bit of a controversy. This time is no exception and to be fair I sort of agree with the complaints. I’m of course not mad that he got another alt. And he looks so cute in it. Leon just looks good in everything.. However, I don’t like that he got Calyrex. Sure it fits the Christmas vibe but it doesn’t fit Leon. At least with Eternatus, Leon had unresolved business and there was symbolism there for how he could treat Eternatus better than had it ended up in Rose’s care. And honestly I was one of the many ones who had assumed a Sygna Suit Leon would involve Urshifu because again it makes sense narratively. Leon is somewhat implied to may have gotten a Kubfu from Mustard that he never got to evolve because of his bad sense of direction keeping him from the towers. So an Urshifu would make sense storywise as another means of redeeming a past failure. 

But Calyrex? Leon has nothing to do with Calyrex. In my opinion Calyrex should go to Peony or Victor since they both have a connection to it (I know Gloria can too but she has Zacian already). Leon should’ve gotten Mr. Rime as his sync partner for the Christmas alt.

Valentine’s D&D One Shot

So, I decided to do a one-shot on Valentine’s day because two of my players (a married couple) were spending time together for the holiday which meant my normal campaign was put on hold. As an act of revenge on the holiday, I quickly put together a one-shot based on Rime of the Frostmaiden. The story’s events take place during the birth of Auril’s Rime. It serves as a nice little prequel to the actual adventure with a chance of their characters being brought into the adventure for real later.

This also allowed me to test out the sanity score option from the DMG and see if I can apply it to a real D&D game.I also limited my players to playing commoners with two +1 stats, 3 skills, and 2 tools. They have a pack of items they will definitely have and 10 mundane items of their choosing. The goal was for them to survive a night during the Rime.

Players started out in Targos where they are tasked with delivering medicine, food, fur, and clothes to the people of Lonelywood. The trip is normally a 3 mile trip that would’ve only taken 3 hours to complete. The first hour was fine, but then it began to snow. Brea and Kosef decide to make camp to wait out the storm. Kosef is a strong pioneer sort of guy while Brea is a soft spoken orphan (age 16). Kosef starts off as a strong mentor figure trying to help Brea survive outside their hometown of Lonelywood.

Kosef took first watch with the intention of making Brea take second, but he lost track of time and stayed up all night (failed Sanity roll). From then on, he suffers from exhaustion. This causes problems for the rest of the game as the man starts making constant mistakes. The first was when trying to calm the sled dogs and one of the escapes into the blizzard. They were gonna search for him, but out from the snow, a yeti appears. No time to waste, they escaped with the sled team. Leaving their campsite behind.

The two quickly became lost. They both try to figure out how to get back on tack. Kosef was becoming increasingly frustrated as he both fails his normal rolls and his sanity rolls. He took out his frustrations on Brea by yelling at her. After she cried, the man apologizes and keeps the sled team moving. After much traveling, they ended up jumping on the frozen lake. The sled falls onto its side and the two humans fell off. They worked together to get the sled back up and they moved out. A failed Perception check from earlier, however, let to them losing half their medicine supplies due to them not noticing a tear in their luggage. By the time the returned to land and patched up the hole, it was too late. Now on shore, they knew that by following it, they can get back on track.

While heading towards Termalaine, the noticed that the clouds cleared enough to reveal an aurora in the sky. Kosef noticing a small figure in the far distance was somehow making this phenomenon. So distracted (with his Sanity now in the negative modifiers) the man almost crashes the sled again, but Brea saves them again. She is starting to get worried at this point. The two arrived to Termalaine, but somehow, the two found it to be empty. They found the nearest inn, boarded up the place, and started a fire. When they went to bring the dogs in, they notice that two of them went missing. They quickly go inside and try to get some sleep by the fire.

Kosef had his sanity slip and he ends up trying to choke one of the dogs while he was petting it. Brea tried to talk him out of it, but that didn’t work so she hit him with a book she was carrying instead. This snapped him out of it, but it was too late and the damage was done. Brea decided to sleep with the dogs and away from Kosef and the fire. That night, they had nightmares. Kosef dreamed about horrible things that finally brought his sanity down to -3 modifier. Brea ends up having a nightmare about Kosef killing her and the dogs. When the two woke up, they noticed that the fire was out. Kosef accused Brea of doing it, but she was able to convince him otherwise. It was at this point, Brea knew she needed to get away from him.

The two were packing up their things to travel by sled again. Since they only had 5 dogs left, they were forced to leave some of their cargo behind at the inn. Brea took this opportunity to trick Kosef by having him unload most of the luggage (he didn’t trust her to do it), and then took off with the dogs and sled. Furious and his paranoia finally justified, Kosef gave chase. He threatens her and almost catches up. Brea is chucking things at him until he finally falls to the ground. She successfully escapes and left Kosef behind. Swearing loudly, Kosef was about to go after her, but was distracted when one of his missing dogs appeared, but is horrified to find that half his face was missing. The other missing dogs show up with similar injuries. Kosef tries to cut and run, but was unsuccessful. First, he gotten his arm ripped off. He tries running away, but the other two grabbed hold of his legs with their fangs. Dragging him back into town to his grizzly demise...

Brea was on her way to Lonelywood at long last but was thwarted by a tree branch. It knocks her off the sled and the dogs kept pulling it away. Brea tries to catch up, but was intercepted by a white moose that wanted her dead. Scared, she runs and hides. Spending a long time in hiding. Growing colder. Then, she heard footsteps. She goes back into hiding. Watching as a cold corpse walks past her. She never saw what this thing looked like. Only it’s feet. She waited until it was gone before continuing.

The teenage girl finally returns to Lonelywood and ran back home to the orphanage. There, she found the woman that ran it. She asks her what’s wrong, but Brea wasn’t making any sense and then starts crying. She runs into her mother figure’s arms and cries in her embrace. The scene pans back and it is revealed that the caretaker was actually being puppeteer by Auril herself as she watches over Brea in menacingly silence.

The story ends with the townsfolk finding the sled and dogs, but their drivers were never seen again. The orphanage was empty. There is mysterious murders going on at night. Rumors report that it was being done by a man with three hounds by his side. A group of masked individuals in feathered cloaks started traveling Ten-Towns. Delivering the message of the Frostmaiden and singing her praises.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

⚔️ Pokémon Sword Nuzlocke (Part 5) ⚔️

Took a few days off from playing because depression

Part 4 is here.

Let’s move forward, getting down to the nitty gritty!

Route 9

Very well designed Route I like how it branches off into different parts and it’s part water/part land.

I already caught a Mareanie here in part 4 so just gonna plow through some trainer battles.

That was pretty easy, now on to my least favorite part for the entire game - Spikemuth.

Spikemuth

Marnie is easy but god dammit her stupid Morpeko always gets flinches with Bite and it’s annoying as hell. Then she lands a crit with bite and nearly knocks out GurrenLagann, and flinches a forth time in a row 🤬. Luckily I hyper potioned that turn so it didn’t knock me out. I switched to SpicyNoodle and one shotted her ass with Bug bite.

Spikemuth is literally a hallway. I hate it. It’s so uninspired and I can tell the developers were running out of time when making it. Would it kill them to delay the next generation of games? I mean really, we’ll all wait if it means a finished product..

Team Yell isn’t even a villain “team” they’re literally just obnoxious gym trainers.....so much wasted potential. And they’re not even like funny obnoxious like Team Skull, they’re just straight up cringe. Also what’s with the Kantonian Mr. Mime? Feels very out of place...

Gym Challenge 7 - Piers

Piers has a cool design I guess. I definitely wasn’t prepared to lose Witch Bitch this battle though. Malamar used Foul Play got a critical hit and one shotted her....I don’t wanna talk about it 😭

Death aside, I now have the Dark Badge.

Route 9

Back on route 9 a somewhat interesting development in the plot...only to be told to ignore it and let the champion handle it off screen. 🙃

Gotta continue the gym challenge, it’s the most important thing!

Hammerlocke

More cutscenes about the world ending, but don’t worry the gym challenge is the most important thing!! They really rushed the end of this story line....

I trained up a bit in the Wild Area and now it’s time for the final Gym Challenge.

Gym Challenge 8 - Raihan

I like the double battle format, it’s a nice switch up and doubles are my preferred format. It’s odd to me it’s not the official battle format in the games given that it’s used in VGC...

Pretty easy battle. I now own the Dragon Badge.

Some more cutscenes about the world ending but don’t worry - the championship is the most important thing!

Heading back to the wild area to catch Pokémon from the last two areas I haven’t been.

Wild Area - Lake of Outrage

My first encounter was a Braviary but I had no choice but to kill it as it was doing too much damage to waste time catching it.

Wild Area - Axew’s Eye

While I’ve been to this area before to get a Tart Apple for Wormy, I didn’t try to catch a Pokémon as I thought they were too high level. I was wrong. My first encounter was a Diggersby 😅

Himbo - (Diggersby) Lv. 37!

Naughty Nature; Alert to sounds!

Now that I’ve trained up some and completed catching in the wild area it’s time to head north for a Wyndon.

Route 10

Petition to bring back victory road please? Route 10 is at least better than Mt. Lanakila in Moon, but still.

Mr. Mime is my first encounter here, and a female Mr. Mime at that. Perfect as a psychic will help me out in the battle with Eternatus later. RIP Witch Bitch. 😭 Welcome to the team Trans Rights!

I do some more training throughout the route and the wild area to level up Trans Rights, he evolves!

Wyndon

After some more training in the wild area I’ve finally reached Wyndon and the league matches.

First battle is Marnie. Turns out Mr. Rime is a great counter to her team despite being mostly dark types. I demolish Marnie and move on to the next round.

Hop is as easy as he always is...

So, the whole “omg Leon is gonna miss our dinner” plot point is soooo lame like...we’re really gonna storm a building cause he’s late for dinner? Hop is extra af 😂. And Oleana is like “no one can disturb my boss but I’m giving the key to this guy...you’ll never find him.” Uhm????

So now I gotta battle this guy like 3 times for a key to a storm a building....cause Leon is late for dinner? Wtf is the point of this part??? The bad writing would be easier to overlook if I wasn’t battling in a white void the whole time cause backgrounds are too hard to make for a AAA home console game..

I’m sorry but like how does Leon missing a dinner affect the championship the next day in anyway??? This part is so stupid 😂😭

Okay but really what was the point of that entire part? We get to the top of the tower and Leon is just like “oh yeah, let’s go get dinner” like who even wrote this??

I’m calling it a night after that. I remember the story being really bad but wow....that was awful and I can think of so many other ways to actually develop Chairman Rose into a villain. I know this is a kids game so I’m not expecting much here. The story in Sun and Moon was pretty solid imo, and i wish I could say “well they did so much more with this game” to justify the bad story but like....where? Ooof, I don’t wanna rant on this right now.

Part 5 Recap

Current Team:

Sombra (Inteleon) Lv. 61; SpicyNoodle (Centiskorch)Lv. 59; Wormy (Flapple) Lv. 60; Stuff’n (Bewear) Lv. 57; Trans Rights (Mr. Rime) Lv. 58 ; GurrenLagann (Golurk) Lv. 57

Boxed:

Graveyard:

TootieFruity (Steenee); Witch Bitch (Hatterene)

Final Notes:

While the game is getting a little more challenging, it’s honestly depressing how obviously rushed this game is and I hate what capitalism has done to the gaming industry as a whole. I hate being so negative about this game because I love Pokémon so much...

Until next time

Rime within the Embers

3. A Caravan in Peril

    "Yes. We recently received a job request that was transferred to our branch, because of proximity to the location of said job." Taiya started to say.

    "And? Why does she need my help? Sounds like a simple enough trip." Ferrous asked.

    She hesitated, "That's what we thought too but…" Taiya said as she trailed off.

    Ferrous' eyes softened, "What? What happened my dear?

    Taiya looked anxious. "We- we already sent out a team- I...I was too reckless...We- we rode into a valley with the caravan, it looked like any other valley we've passed through before. Usually they were home to mere bandits. Don't get me wrong, sometimes bandits can get the slip on us...but not like this.”      She took a shaky breath, “Some time after we cleared the entrance, a mysterious mist had seeped into the valley. We-...we didn't even realize it's presence...like our perception of it was hidden somehow...if that makes sense. It wasn't until our senses went, that we realized something was amiss. We-...we couldn't hear, or smell anything not in our line of sight. I couldn't even feel the moisture in the air... I- I rely on my senses, so with those so limited and my friends- my guildmates vanishing behind the encroaching and thickening mist by the second? I panicked...I-...I panicked and followed my instincts…. I ran away from the mist...from the caravan, from my guildmates; and when they didn't follow me? Or even call out? When I noticed the skeletons littering the valley's corners? The mist inching its way toward me still? Like it was sentient? Seemingly feeding upon our senses? I instinctively shifted into my travel form and ran further and faster. I ran and didn't even look back...We- we haven't heard from them in 3 days…" Taiya collapsed to her knees in a fit of sobs, after forcing out the last few words.

    Ferrous knelt down with a hand on Taiya's back in comfort. "It will be alright, we'll find your guildmates; your friends."

    Taiya kept her eyes behind her hands as she shook violently and tears continued to pour out. She managed a few slow nods.

    Ferrous needed to only glance at Amara; she hastily hurried to the back and came back with water and a weighted shock blanket. Without hesitation, she knelt beside her supposed rival and covered her back in the blanket and offered water.

    Ferrous nodded, stepping away; only to have Amara take his place. The old Dwarf stood up tall and looked our way.   

  "Rime! Can I count on you and your little trio for this request?!" He confidently shouted towards me, knowing my answer.

    "It would be my pleasure, Sir! But why us? Wouldn't a senior member be a safer choice for this scenario?" I asked.

    Ferrous smiled wide. "Do not underestimate yourself, my boy. You are plenty strong, besides you and your trio's skill set are vital for this job."

    "W- we are?" I asked, confused.

    "Well, of course! You, my boy can use your elemental magic and draconic wings to deal with the mist itself, Arileth has earned himself a reputation as one of the most proficient trackers in the guild; especially if this mist is indeed magical or unnatural, and Kitsui can think like a bandit or thief; if that is who is behind this." Ferrous said as he listed off our 'skill sets'. After a pause he chuckled to himself. “I suppose Kitsui will be going on this job afterall!”     Kit audibly sighed; quite loudly I might add. “Uggghh fiiiiiine, I’ll goooo! But only cause Rime’s goin’ and Taiya seems very distressed. Can’t have that, I quite like her confident and cocky self!”     “A friend in need, sounds like a good enough reason to me.” I announced, smiling towards Taiya.     “I suppose I can tag along.” Arileth retorted, smiling smugly.     “Then it’s settled! The three of you will travel to the last known location of Taiya’s party and caravan. Look for survivors, while keeping an eye out for this mysterious mist and the perpetrators!” Ferrous announced aloud.

    Arileth spoke up. "Sir? What of Ms. Felinuma? Is she going to guide us? Or are you leaving it up to us?"

    Ferrous looked down at Taiya and back to Arileth. "She is in no position to be going back there in her current mental state. Can I leave it to you and your magic? Spellseeker?" 

    Arileth smiled smugly. "It would be my pleasure." He said as he bowed proudly.

    Kit snorted to herself. "Kiss-ass."

    "I am expecting you to be helping him track as well, with that sensitive bestial nose of yours Kitsui." Ferrous told Kit.

    Kit couldn't help but smile smugly herself. "Oh stop it old man, or you'll make me blush, hah…!"

    "Shall we then?" I asked, trying to pull my friends from their little ego bubbles.

    "Wait! I need something to go off of!" Kit exclaimed, before approaching 0her fellow Beastfolk. 

    "Taiya? D-do you have anything from the caravan I could use to track it?" She asked surprisingly softly.

    Taiya removed her hands, revealing her tear stained cheeks. "O- oh um...I- I think so…"

   She unfolded the scarf from around her neck. "T- the valley got surprisingly chilly before we realized the mist's p-presence...so I grabbed this from the caravan as we r-rode into the valley…. Here."

    Kit took it graciously. "Thank you, we will find them."

    Taiya managed a small smile.

    "Kit? Can I see the scarf? It will assist in my magic if I have a conduit to focus on." Arileth asked rather politely.

    "...Sure, here. Do your mojo voodoo hoodoo or whatever, but I'll need it back after."

    Arileth smirked at the remark. "Thank you, and of course."

    He started to perform his spell, but Ferrous interrupted him. "Oh no. Not in here ya don't. I do not want a rerun of last time, Arileth."

    Arileth quickly ceased and nodded. "...Outside, then."

    "Yes. Please. Myself and my metals would appreciate it." Ferrous stated firmly.

    "Anyways, good luck you three! I have the utmost confidence in you. If I don't hear from ya in three days or need backup, I'll send good ol' Brok your way!" He announced.

     We all gestured our thanks and goodbyes with a raised hand as we left. 

    Once outside I looked to Arileth. "Perhaps we should stock up on supplies before you start the spell."

    Arileth thought it over for a moment. "Perhaps that may be wise…especially with what we may be up against. Good call."

    Kit spoke out abruptly. "Oh! Oh! Could we go see Mr. Oakenroot?? For like supplies and stuff??!" She asked excitedly.

    "The old Alchemist? Have you been bothering him again?" 

    Kit gasps dramatically, "What?? Never. Not me. No sir. Hah! But on a serious note, I like the guy. Good to talk to, y'know?...Oh! Also! Aril? Could I have the scarf back? You're gonna smother it in your scent if ya hold onto it too long."

    Arileth rolled his eyes. "Fine, here." He said as he gave back Taiya's scarf. "...What did you steal under the poor Forest Titan's nose this time?" Arileth remarked afterward.

    "Nothing! I like talkin' to the old geezer, wisdom comes with age and all that. He also appreciates my humour, Arileth." Kit quipped back.

    I butted in, before another heated argument sparked. "Alright, alright that's enough, you two. If you think his wares are legitimate, I trust you, we'll go grab some potions and maybe see what he has for antidotes."     Kitsui gave me a puzzled look. “Antidotes? What for?”     “For the mist, Kit. Taiya was saying that it numbed her senses in some way, hiding behind her perception of its presence or something. It could be a deadly combination of magic and some form of poison. Or it could be something else entirely, but it doesn’t hurt to be prepared.”     “Ohhhhhhh alrighty! Off to the woods we go!!” She happily announced.

    “Are you good with our little pit stop Arileth?” I asked as we both watched Kit run ahead in excitement.     Our dark blue haired friend simply nodded. “As long as it is fruitful for our journey to the job site and the job itself, I have no qualms.”     “Cool. Kit? Lead the way. Xylen is just north of the city right?” I asked, loud enough for her to hear from where she was

    She yelled back, “Yep! He put up shop just beyond the entrance to the Sylvan Thicket!”     “Which is where, Kit?” Arileth asked, refusing to yell.

“Oh! It’s the patch of forest you see when you leave and enter the city from its northern side! The one at the fork in the road, a few minutes from Berylia's borders!"    “Ah. Right...the forest...goodie.” Arileth said dryly and sarcastically.    “You’ll be fine. Besides, we gotta get moving. Don’t want poor Taiya to be waiting too long, she’s had enough of that already.” I said as I started to follow Kit, who was already high tailing it north.    “Yeah, yeah, I know. Let’s just get this supply run over with and get on the road…”

Drinking and Dating - Brandi Glanville

As I was gearing up to read this book, and gathering my deeply intellectual thoughts on the 17 chihuahuas in a human suit that is Brandi Glanville, I was like, oh good, I love Brandi. Sweet pizza-throwing Brandi. She spills the tea, this should be good in a trainwreck sort of way. 

I mean, I have to say that I was squarely in the Brandi camp for a moment in time - a Dream Team fan, if you will. She really won me over at Game Night. You know, that desperate attempt by Dana to be part of the show. Ugh, Dana. Dana was like The Silence from Doctor Who. Not because she was silent - oh no, if she was within shouting distance you’d hear about her sunglasses and how much they cost. No, because the second you turn around, your memory of her is completely wiped. I had to google both her actual name and the name Kim kept calling her because she couldn’t remember Dana’s name either (it was Pam). 

Anyways. Game Night at Pam’s was not a cute look for Kim and Kyle Richards, or as I like to think of them, Baby Jane and Blanche Hudson in the lead up to the accident that will eventually leave Kyle bound in a chair while Kim feeds her rats and writes letters to daddy. You may remember Game Night as the night when Kim hobbled in super late, took her trenta coffee cup filled with mashed up pills into the bathroom, and proceeded to do her hair and makeup, with Kyle intermittently popping in to both tell her she’s being weird, and to be weird. 

You may also remember Game Night as the night when Brandi accused Kim of doing crystal meth in the bathroom, and then Kim and Kyle hid Brandi’s crutches so she couldn’t stand up or walk. I’m citing this as exhibit 1 in Kim’s latent Baby Jane persona, just waiting in the wings. 

Point is, Kim and Kyle were pacing the room like lunatics, pointing their withered fingers at Brandi, and calling her such chill things as “slut pig”. Poor Brandi, NEW TO THIS GROUP, and being called a pig by the witch character from that Nightmare VHS board game from the 90s:

(shit, do you guys remember that?)

Brandi, with the fearlessness of an Amazon warrior queen, looked up, unblinking, unflinching, and calmly said, “Bring it, bitch, color me slut”. And Kim and Kyle were shook. I live for anyone who shakes Kyle. 

I also really loved when Lisa Vanderpump demanded an olive branch from her, and Brandi legit yanked a branch off of one of LVP’s trees, handed it to her, and then said, “what do you want me to do, eat your pussy?” Iconic. 

Admittedly, Brandi lost me a little by Season 5, when she developed a super co-dependent relationship with Kim, where they each made it a fun hobby to enable the other’s worst behaviour. Brandi decided she was gonna replace Kyle, which like, unless you’ve endured years of Big Kathy pushing you into show biz and gold digging bad marriages, then no, you can’t. You don’t have the range. 

But i was intrigued nonetheless, eager enough to dig into Brandi’s second book, which I read out of chronological order for the very academic reason that it was available first at the library. 

And it started off pretty strong. Brandi lovingly told us about the HPV her cheating trash ass ex husband gave her, called Leann Rimes a cunt, shaded her album sales, blamed Adrienne Maloof for her own shitty marriage, and called bullshit on the concept of scorned ex wives. Overall, great shit. Loved it. I was like yesssssss preach through a lot of it. 

Then Brandi delved into her dating advice, and girl, she was feeling her Carrie Bradshaw oats at every turn. I could basically picture her, smoking at her window, wearing a tutu, and gazing forlornly at the Chair that Aiden Made™. Which, like, all the Aiden apologists in the world need to get over. Aiden was trash. He tried to force Carrie into a boring ass engagement, pulling her away from interesting parties with porn producers, so she could like, watch him eat fried chicken in his gross underwear at 10pm???? 

The only good thing Aiden ever did was keep Carrie home when she could have been out making comments like this to her friends. A real service to her friends, who had to pretend to laugh at her idiotic jokes because she always got them tickets to cool stuff. 

Aaaaanyways. Brandi Glanville is no Carrie Bradshaw, and if she were, I’d really prefer if she’d been the Carrie Bradshaw whose computer crashes before she learns how to backup her writing. 

Drinking and Dating is a combination of bad dating advice, very personal child custody beef with her ex husband (yeah, I know his name, I just don’t care enough to type it, he sucks), and blind items about the “celebrities” she’s banged. 

Apparently, she wanted to list these celebrities by name, and her publishers wouldn’t let her, for fear of being sued. And honestly, Brandi being sued is not a saga I want to watch. She was personally outraged enough when her Celebrity Big Brother alliance member Keshia Knight wanted to leave the house in order to BREASTFEED HER INFANT, so I don’t wanna know how ugly Brandi gets when she’s got, like, actual problems. 

So, first things first, here’s some bad dating advice from Brandi Glanville:

pick up guys at Home Depot! Apparently, it is filled with “manly men” who want to turn women into housewives. If you roam the electrical aisle, you can “have your pick of Home Depot’s most eligible bachelors”. I hate this so much, I can’t even fully articulate it. This is by far the worst dating advice I have ever heard, and I read Class with the Countess. 

If a guy has a criminal record, but also a private jet, only the latter fact is important. Like, if the assault charges and restraining order have been dropped, and he tells you his ex girlfriend was batshit crazy, it’s safe to assume everything’s kosher here, and you can proceed to fly around on his jet, where no one can hear you scream.

dump a guy if his idea of an epic party is at Brendan Fraser’s condo. I AM SORRY BUT if I had the chance to party at Brendan Fraser’s condo, I would skip my own father’s funeral. Like, yeah he’s kinda fat and weird now, but if you close your eyes, imagine him at his peak, and make him say “George love Ursula”, you could probably still come while he lazily rails you. And you owe it to your thirsty 1997 self.

But, I guess if you’re at a point in your life where relationship advice from Brandi Glanville seems appealing, it’s too late for me to reach you. Have fun at Home Depot. 

I’m skipping the parts about whether Brandi’s trash ass ex husband is boycotting her relationship with her children by not letting them bring nice clothes to her house and whatever else. Cause it’s too dark, and I’m not here to contribute to the psychotic breaks any real housewives children may have when they start comprehending their parents’ exploits. 

What I will talk about is the series of dating stories Brandi “coyly” relates, using cute little pseudonyms for her bang buddies. Yeah, you could comb through the 2010-2011 NBA season team roster stats to figure out who the 6′11″ suitor was, but like, who cares honestly? If it wasn’t even interesting enough for the paps, it’s not interesting enough to sleuth for. 

The only one that caught my attention really, was the mid 90s TV star who was out with his more conventionally attractive co-star at the time. I do believe this to be David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc, so do with that what you will. (But I will say that if I had to fuck anyone from the core Friends group, it would be Ross. If we’re going outside the core group, it’s gotta be Paolo for some of that patented “meaningless animal sex”.)

Overall, this book was a fucking labor to get through; it was rough. I downloaded the audiobook so that I could listen to it while walking to work and on the treadmill, and yeah, that kinda made it easier to digest, but it also meant I had to listen to Brandi’s dog whistle of a voice for several hours. 

I can’t decide what was more irritating about this book, the 7,000 hashtags used throughout, or the mind-numbing minutia of things like what grocery store Brandi prefers and why. (PS, remember when Ramona Singer thought minutia was a Yiddish word, and was probably visualizing it spelled “menusha”? Bless.)

Given the choice, I’d rather go to the Van Kempens’ housewarming party, where they didn’t serve food even though it was at 8pm, than read another chapter of Brandi’s tales. 

Quick Stats:

Pages: 242

Did it need to be that many pages?: Ugh, absolutely not. There were times I zoned out during the audiobook, or just got up to pee and stopped listening for a few minutes, and I feel I did not miss anything. 

Did it change my mind about the housewife?: Honestly, it made me hate her more, but that could be because listening to Brandi Glanville’s voice for several hours straight is a form of torture used at Guantanamo. 

Real-ass book rating: 📖/5. This book was awful. It was so terrible. It had no structure, and was just a series of long, unedited, pointless stories, punctuated with bad hashtags.

Junk food book rating: 💎/5. Idk, like if you wanna hear about how Brandi banged an unnamed NBA player in a car in an alley, or how she had to sleep off her wine at some unnamed actor’s house because she couldn’t get her breathalyzer ignition to start in her car after she banged him, I guess the book is like somewhat amusing. But if you’ve ever listened to a middle aged woman complain about her kids’ stepmom for any length of time, you know it’s not worth it.

Welp I finally regret making sombra my main (and my all time fave character in the game) after her new skin and recent nerf, and not just for those reasons, she gets so much shit from the ow community no matter how good or bad her nerfs/buffs are and yet she is some how still one of the most underrated hero’s in OW, ugh might as well main the poster child, she doesn’t get touched by the ow team because she’s apparently well balanced to “perfection”, she also isn’t underrated and is loved by everyone in the community and has decent skins that don’t make her look like a soccer mom, sure she hasn’t gotten any new skins for in a while but that’s only because she’s been favored by the ow team, FAVORED. And she will eventually get new skins anyways and it’ll be a well  designed skin than any sombra skin that will struggle to look half as decent, the only skins I REALLY like from sombra are 2, I give up on sombra getting another decent skin rime was good but not the best skin imo, sadly people didn’t like it as much but o well

Also I enjoy spiderbyte and there are barley any spiderbyte stuff going around, again probably because people just don’t really care for sombra compared to any other female character in the game

Again just another dumb rant, but I am serious about just ditching sombra and just hopping on the tracer bandwagon, not that I only play sombra, I do branch out and play other hero’s when it feels necessary or when I just feel like playing someone else 

Oh well at least she’s rising popularity in the OWL but I wouldn’t be surprised if she gets nerfed again for that exact reason

Pokémon Sword Avatar Challenge Playthrough Part 1

Thus begins our little tale. Strap in, everyone, and join me on an adventure through the Galar Region!

I have been doing Pokémon Avatar challenges for several generations now and have decided to take on Galar as a Water Tribe trainer.

For those unfamiliar with the Pokémon Avatar challenges, it’s fairly simple: each Pokémon type is assigned to a nation.  You may only catch/use Pokémon with a type that is assigned to the nation you choose. You may not use a Pokémon from outside your nation.  The link previous has the more detailed rules.  I’m using the nation allocations updated for X and Y since they take Fairy type into account.

I will be playing Pokémon Sword as it is the version I own.  I do not have the expansion, though I may end up getting it partway through the playthrough.

Ready?  Let us commence.

We step into Galar as a female trainer from the town of Postwick.  As always, we’re watching the beginning of the exhibition match between Leon and Raihan.  Is anyone else getting a little tired of Charizard?  (Watch me be chased off the Internet for that….)  Can we get some love for the other Gen 1 starters up in here?

Also, I know his brother is the Champion, but Hop’s house is huge?  Like it looks massive from the outside.  Remember the days when your rival’s house was a kitchen and their bedroom because apparently they made their family members sleep under the dining room table?  Ah, those were the days.

Real talk: how does Hop think Leon’s going to get lost?  It’s literally a straight shot!  The train station is directly in front of the road that goes to his house?  Where would he turn?  Also, my god the music in Potswick sounds like the music for the “Back Alley” in Kingdom Hearts II.  Or am I just nuts?

Our first partner is the starter Pokémon, the grass type Grookey.  I name him “Anyu” for absolutely no reason whatsoever.  He’s Relaxed nature, so more Defense and less Speed. I wasn’t counting on Anyu being that fast, so that’s fine with me.  Grookey starts with Scratch and Growl.  Since we’re not using any hacks, his ability is Overgrow.  This, of course, will give Hop a Sobble.

We Scratch down Wooloo despite Wooloo getting a lucky crit against Anyu.  After Wooloo goes down, Anyu hits level 6 and learns “Branch Poke,” a new Gen 8 grass type move.  Just in time to use this new super effective move to take Sobble down in two easy strikes and hit level 7.

We get ready to begin our Pokémon journey but are immediately waylaid by a Wooloo trying to give itself brain damage by ramming into a fence.  But we have to go save it!  Surely the fog-covered Slumbering Weald where we’re forbidden to go won’t be any big deal, right?  Rookidee having Peck sucks, though, and is quickly showing one of the benefits of the nature-boosted Defense stat early.

We faint dramatically due to the simply overwhelming presence of a strange Pokémon who (despite being on the box art) will certainly not be the game’s legendary Pokémon . Definitely not.

I’m feeling Hop’s slang though.  Leon’s “pants” with directions, mom will go “spare.”  It’s okay, I’m hip.  I know what the youngsters find groovy.  On the topic of language, if Pokémon say their own names why does Grookey say “tumtum?”

A quick peek in the bag shows we start out with five Pokéballs, a potion, and a fishing rod. Hey, remember when we had to find/buy that stuff ourselves?  Good times.

We add a Skwovet to the team as our first encounter and the first Pokémon I’m allowed to catch. (Normal type: Allowable for all nations if it doesn’t gain an incompatible type upon evolution.)  We name her “Rajuna.”  She’s level 6 at catch, with the ability Cheek Pouch.  She joins the team with Tackle, Tail Whip, and Bite.  Impish nature, so more Defense and less Sp. Attack.  Right now, our team is all physical walls….  Since S/S have catch experience, this also gets Anyu to level 8 and he learns “Taunt.”

We also grab a Grubbin and name her “Karane.”  I’m typically a fan of Vikavolt and since all Bug types are usable by all nations this is within the rules (a change from the Gen 1-5 Avatar challenge rules).    She’s Rash nature, so extra Sp. Attack but less Sp. Defense, which is fine.  Level 4, ability Swarm – nothing too special.  But adding the Electric type coverage is going to be good for any Flying types for now.  We may not end up using Karane long-term.

After a little grinding, all three members of our team are Level 9/10.  I pass on the chance to catch a level 2 Caterpie just to save my own sanity.  Not gonna lie, I’m so tired of Butterfree/Beedrill – but at least Beedrill got a mega-evolution.  I accidentally one-shot a Blipbug with a critical Vice Grip from Karane, so… meh. That happened.  Plenty of chances later.  I purposely pass on a Wooloo.  Don’t want to double-up on my Normal types right away.  All that said, I will be prioritizing the Gen 8 ‘mons. Still working on getting to know the newest 87 Poké-pals.

We arrive in Wedgehurst to see Charizard flaunting his flames and Leon about to visit the lab.  We get a special introduction to Sonia, Prof. Magnolia’s granddaughter who is apparently a good cook because this is important somehow?  But Sonia gives us the Pokédex that I’ll never end up using, so.

I give everyone an Oran Berry then go drop some Poké-dollars on a shirt and pants because I’m imagining doing all that running in the dress and my thighs would be chafing until I cried. #BigGirlProblems

We snatch up a Blipbug and name him “Rorou.”  Level 6, Gentle nature so more Sp. Defense and less Defense.  His ability is Swarm and he only knows Struggle Bug, but let’s work on him.  This will be our only opportunity to add a Gen 8 psychic type to the team besides Mr. Rime fairly late in the mid-game, so I’m excited to see how this goes.  

We also catch a Chewtle. I feel like I can’t be the only one to not love this thing’s face, but whatever.  It’s evolution is fine.  His name is “Amal.”  He is also level 6 and has a Quiet nature, so more Sp. Attack and less Speed. Considering the line has abysmal Sp. Attack, those Water Guns are still going to be dribbles, but whatever.  He has the ability Strong Jaw which will make Jaw Lock and Ice Fang hurt.  For now, though, he only has Tackle and Water Gun.

We’ll finish out Part 1 by grinding the team to around level 11-13.  I always forget just how quickly the early game Bug Pokémon evolve!  I wasn’t even thinking about Blipbug evolving soon, but we’re not even through Route 2 and Rorou evolved into Dottler!

So that concludes Part 1 of our epic adventure.  I hope you guys will join me next time!  See our exit stats below:

GISHWHES 2016 List Of Items

Lots of other people have posted this list since 2016’s scavenger hunt, but I’m uploading it here (drastically belated, I know) for my own collection. The 2016 hunt ran between July 31st and August 5th, and the winning team went to Iceland with Misha Collins. This list contains all of the hunt items, their value in points, and whether they were submitted as photos or videos - including deleted items. (Registration for the 2017 hunt closes VERY SOON, and this may be the final hunt! Sign up at gishwhes.com!)

[ see also: 2011 list // 2012 list // 2013 list // 2014 list // 2015 list ]

Disclaimer: I am not Misha Collins, nor am I directly affiliated with him, or any of his team at gishwhes.com. However, they did apparently name their 2012 Fograt mascot after this tumblr blog. Which is the coolest thing that’s ever happened, obviously. (“Tales of an Injured Fog Rat” was created in 2010 with that title. I’ve been archiving the item lists since the hunt’s conception in 2011).

Also, yes, the cursor is a penis. I’m only a little bit sorry.

#1. PHOTO or VIDEO. 32 POINTS. There’s something you used to do for your significant other when you first met them. Something that made them smile… It’s been years since you did this. Do it now.

#3. PHOTO or VIDEO. 21 POINTS. “Someday your face will freeze like that!” said every mother ever. The 2016 Summer Olympics has added Competitive Gurning to their roster and you are your country’s champion. Put on your Olympic uniform and let’s see your medal-winning, face-making moves. Judgment will be on technical merit, artistry, and execution. A perfect 10 takes the gold.

#5. PHOTO or VIDEO. 37 POINTS. In the middle of a mall food court, you and a friend (one or more) play a nice game of badminton - we must see the tennis whites, the net, rackets, etc.

#6. PHOTO. 54 POINTS. Submit two images, side-by-side. If you have or know a child under 6, have them draw a family portrait. Now, get your family to pose EXACTLY as they drew you all in the drawing. Try to replicate the clothing, individual heights and anything you need to do or add to your bodies to contort them to what the child drew.

#7. VIDEO. 44 POINTS. Are you still jogging occasionally? Good. Be sure to try out this year's latest fashion craze: pineapple shell shoes with matching pineapple caps to protect you from the sun. Let’s see you (carefully) jogging in public.

#12. PHOTO. 58 POINTS. I have to travel a lot for work, so I’ve learned a thing or two about working the system. It turns out, if you package yourself properly you can send yourself by mail for a fraction of the cost of an airline ticket. Transform your appearance into a first-class parcel and have a friend deliver you to the post office for shipping. Don’t actually ship yourself— just get a photo of your packaged self being weighed at the post office, in a bin at a post office with other packages, or being loaded into a mail truck.

#13. PHOTO. 32 POINTS. It’s a well-known fact that Pablo Picasso was a huge “Supernatural” fan. He painted portraits of Mark Sheppard, Jensen Ackles, Ruth Connell, Sam Smith, Richard Speight Jr., Matt Cohen, Jared Padalecki, Andrew Dabb, Rob Benedict, Misha Collins, Bob Singer, and many of the other cast and crew members. Sadly, until now, these great works have been lost to the world. Fortunately, your team has unearthed one of these priceless works.

#14. PHOTO. 38 POINTS. Live your dream. You know, the one you had while you were sleeping last night. - Julie Reynolds

#15. PHOTO or VIDEO. 105 POINTS. (slow-mo or real-time). This is the final showdown between the Haves and the Have-nots. Show up Monday afternoon at NO LATER than 12 PM at Dolores Park in San Francisco (the flat side of the park at Dolores Park entrance). If your team name has an odd number of letters in it, you are an executive and you must dress business-snazzy. If your team name has an even number of letters in it, you are a member of the proletariate and you must dress in over-alls or blue-collar apparel. Bring at least 12 water balloons (pre-filled with water). At exactly 12:10 PM, the ultimate water balloon battle will ensue. It will last exactly 7 minutes! After this time has expired, the battle will be over and BOTH teams MUST clean up the water-balloon shrapnel (see below). You must have a friend capture the event with a video or photo (don’t get your phones wet) or, if you don’t have a photographer attending with you, you may get a photo with the gishwhes representative at the event—they will be wearing a royal blue beanie. You must circle "you" or your representative (if you don't live near SF) in the image that you submit so we can identify that you were there. IMPORTANT! Participants must collect and dispose of ALL balloon shrapnel at the end of the battle. Otherwise, seagulls will eat them and they will die a horribly painful and drawn-out death. Have you ever read the “Rime of the Ancient Mariner”? Why not? What’s wrong with you? Let’s just say killing an albatross (which, although from a completely different family (Diomedeidae) than the seagull (Charadriiformes), they do both have wings, and think the ocean is a good place to poop - so they are pretty much brothers) is not good karma and it shall haunt you for life. So be a responsible Gisher and don’t leave until the debris is gone.

#16. PHOTO. 56 POINTS. Your yard needs an upgrade. It's too expensive to do proper landscaping, so let's just dress it up nicely... with every item of clothing you own displayed in a beautiful, artistic manner on the trees, bushes, cars, patio furniture, fountain, etc. Have your neighbors over in the middle of it for a yard-warming party if you wish.

#17. VIDEO. 39 POINTS. Give your dog a slow, massaging soap bath in a kiddie pool in a crowded pedestrian area. If it's cold out, use a large stuffed animal instead. Relaxing spa music should be playing in the background. - Tracy Liu

#18. PHOTO. 67 POINTS Recreate a painting by Goya in candy.

#19. PHOTO. 58 POINTS. It’s such a strange feeling lying in a coffin almost completely buried in popcorn with only your face showing. Trust me. I know.

#22. PHOTO. 41 POINTS. [REMOVED:] Find a pet that can easily and happily be kept in an enclosed terrarium: a lizard, turtle, snake, rodent, or even an injured bird. This animal must be a rescue animal; it cannot be acquired at a pet store. Now, introduce this animal to its new family: an elementary school classroom that will care for it. The classroom must have the means and facilities to humanely care for it.

#23. PHOTO. 79 POINTS. The versatility of corn is amazing— it has so many uses! However, there's no better use for corn than this year's must-have fashion statement: the Corn Husk Bikini or Corn Husk Evening Wear! Feel free to color the husks, as well as to accent and accessorize with kernels.

#24. PHOTO. 53 POINTS. Paint a watermelon to look like the head of a famous dictator (past or present) and place it at the base of one of the cannons at Dawes Point under the Harbour Bridge in Sydney, Australia. You will likely see other watermelons there. To make sure your photo submission is different from any other team’s, you must stack or display the watermelons artistically. If they are already stacked or displayed in an artistic manner, you must thoughtfully re-stack and rearrange them.

Use anything from your kitchen or pantry to create your armour and weaponry.

#27. PHOTO. 94 POINTS. Dress up your pet as a well-known public figure (actor, politician, musician, etc.) and get a photo of your pet with the ACTUAL public figure it is dressed up as. Make sure the pet looks as much like the public figure as possible (wardrobe, hair, etc.).

#28. VIDEO. 48 POINTS. Submit your video in slow motion.You are throwing an elegant party. Show us your sophistication by decanting red wine directly into your guests’ mouths. Properly aerate the wine by pouring it from at least 2 stories above the guests. The guests, of course, must be wearing white.

#29. PHOTO. 36 POINTS. Recently there has been a lot of news about bottled water and how much of it is just urban tap water sold in a bottle with a fancy label. It’s an unregulated sham. That said, it seems like a pretty good way to make a buck, but at this point the bottled water market is pretty saturated. Set up a stand on a public walkway to sell “fresh air” from your city in bottles with compelling labels.

#30. VIDEO. 43 POINTS. Dub a “Beavis and Butthead” cartoon with actual audio clips from Barack Obama and Donald Trump as the voices for Beavis and Butthead respectively.

#31. PHOTO. 46 POINTS. Personify the name of a street sign. - Erin Atkinson

#32. PHOTO. 39 POINTS. We all learned from the movie “The Secret” that vision boards and positive affirmations have the power to help you manifest really important things in your life like sports cars and boundless riches. Now I’m sure everyone probably wants a red sports car and immeasurable wealth, but we want to see your vision board that depicts aspects of your life that transcend the trappings of material status. Make a collage from magazines of the things which cannot be bought or sold that you would like more of in your life.

#33. PHOTO. 33 POINTS. Rainbow teeth.

#34. PHOTO. 31 POINTS. We’ve seen Jensen Ackles portraits in Skittles. What about Jensen Ackles on Skittles? Draw a tiny Ackles on a single Skittle. Post a photo of the Skittle portrait in the palm of your hand.

#35. PHOTO or VIDEO. 44 POINTS. In support of the documentary “Alive Inside,” find one person with Alzheimer's or some form of dementia and learn what their favorite tunes were when they were young. Make them a playlist of those songs and play it for them.

#36. PHOTO. 53 POINTS. If you, dear reader, happen to be someone who knows my mother, don’t spoil the fun by telling her about this… My mom doesn’t care that I'm on TV, she’s just not impressed. However, she turns into your typical proud mother when you bring up gishwhes. She loves GISHWHES and she hates that I won’t let her be on a team (but come on, how bad would it look if my mom’s team won?) Anyway, she loves gishwhes—she also loves birthdays. It just so happens that tomorrow, Monday, August 1st, is my mother's 70th birthday. Let's combine two of her favorite things: birthdays and gishwhes. I have secretly planted a GPS tracking device on my mother. Help me surprise her between the hours of 11:30AM and 1PM by showing up and saying happy birthday to her! Follow this link http://bit.ly/2astpwS to see exactly where we are. (Hint: It’ll be in the vicinity of Bellingham, WA.) Take a photo of yourself with my Mom in the background to submit as proof you completed this item.

#37. PHOTO. 37 POINTS. I believe that children are our future. Show us your futuristic robot baby.

#38. PHOTO or VIDEO. 1? POINTS.  [REMOVED:] Couch surfing. Really. Real couch, real surf in ocean water. Make it happen.

#39. PHOTO. 67 POINTS. There's a lot of talk about how undocumented immigrants or "illegal aliens" are taking away our jobs and using public services such as hospitals and schools. But I think the real thing to worry about is actual aliens from other planets. Prove that aliens are a drain on our civic infrastructure by showing an alien from space (this costuming has to be impeccable) displacing a citizen's job or clogging up our hospitals or prisons. Caption the image with a message about the dangers of aliens draining our civic infrastructure.

#40. VIDEO. 81 POINTS. We all know about "Transformers" - the cars and trucks that turn into super-robots. But what the movies and toy manufacturers have overlooked are all of the other less-celebrated, more mundane Transformers. For example, what about Burgertron? He transforms from a burger into a robot. Or Desktopatron? She is a desktop computer who transforms into a robot. Or Fiddletron? He’s a violin one minute, a robot the next. Show us a human in a Transformer costume that goes from household object to a bad-ass robot.

#41. PHOTO or VIDEO. 84 POINTS. Free range, grass-fed, small farm dairy cows in Northern Vermont have it rougher than most cows: the rolling hills, the verdant pastures, the way the flickering lights of summer’s fireflies mingle with the starlight, the smell of ripening raspberries wafting into their barns. Help a heifer in these dire circumstances forget her suffering. Treat a dairy cow to the most pampered milking session in human/bovine history. A minimum of three attendants must milk the cow. One person must be feeding her clover by hand as another gently milks her wearing satin gloves as another massages her gently. The attendants must be dressed in semi-formal attire. The milking must take place in a well-appointed living room.

#43. VIDEO. 52 POINTS. This video may be 25 seconds or less. Create the world’s first human piano. Get multiple people to stand in one line dressed in black and white as piano keys, with each leg a different key (two keys per person). Then “play” them: have them lift their heels several inches off the ground, and when you press down their leg they sing, hum or grunt the corresponding note (pitch perfect, please). When you remove your hand, their leg goes back up. Two or more legs down at the same time makes a chord. Play chopsticks (or another familiar ditty) more or less in tune.

#44. PHOTO. 61 POINTS. Two elderly men playing chess by candlelight in front of the front row of a crowded movie theater while the film plays in the background.

#45. PHOTO. 46 POINTS. Isn’t it great to get your friends and family together for the holidays?! But it’s so hard! Sometimes all you can manage is getting everyone together for one holiday a year. But then you have to choose a holiday, and that’s so hard, too! Wait a minute... not if you decide to celebrate ALL holidays in that one night! Let’s see that night. - Inspired by Nicole Bowman

#46. VIDEO. 66 POINTS. This video may be up to 20-seconds. Everyone knows how important specific diets are in developing a chiseled physique. Find a bona fide, professional, competitive bodybuilder or ultimate fighter in peak condition and have them create a 20-second infomercial touting the muscle-building, fat-burning, nutrient-loaded virtues of aerosol spray cheese (like Cheeze Whiz). We must hear the athlete’s name, credentials and see their glistening, oiled, body as they “sell” us (however they best can do that) on the benefits and delicious taste of the aerosol spray cheese. This should probably include ravenously squirting the cheese directly into their mouth. Bonus points if you get a former World Champion.

#47. PHOTO. 41 POINTS. Submit two images, side-by-side. Recreate a famous, iconic photo from junk food. For example, you could submit the black and white photo of Einstein sticking out his tongue, next to another photo of your best attempt to recreate that photo using various junk foods as your paints. I hope that makes sense. For some reason it sounds confusing as I type it. But you have to somehow figure out what I mean here and then do it. Best of luck.

#48. PHOTO. 38 POINTS. Let’s stop sugar-coating our grievances and complaints! Actually, strike that— let’s actually sugar coat them. Confront your boss or employee about an issue in the workplace that has been irking you. While doing so, you must be entirely coated in powdered sugar.

#50. VIDEO. 63 POINTS. Virtual reality interfaces are absolutely amazing. The technology is mind-blowing. Using virtual reality and augmented headsets like the Hololens and Oculus, I have stood on the surface of Mars at Jet Propulsion Laboratories and examined the undercarriage of the Mars Rover, been in the eye of a hurricane, and have been attacked by heavily-armed 19th-century militia. It’s mind-blowing. Your task is to create a virtual reality experience totally unlike any VR experience to date. This video will require a super-short, adrenalin-pumping intro-teaser, which will let the viewers know that they are about to experience VR like never before. THEN, abruptly cut to a 360-degree clip of the most mundane activity you can imagine. BORE US TO DEATH.

#51. VIDEO. 174 POINTS. Time-lapse this submission to 20 seconds or less. Get permission from a museum to temporarily replace a painting worth more than $100,000 with a forgery of the same painting.

#53. VIDEO. 121 POINTS. [REMOVED:] This video submission can be up to 20 seconds. Someone told me that they once hid a rubber duck in the fireplace in the grand dining room of the White House. I just want to know if it’s still there.

You get points whether there’s a duck in your video or not. Your video exploration of the fireplace must start with a quick 360 degree shot of the White House’s Grand Dining Room.

#54. PHOTO. 57 POINTS. IMAGE. My grandmother, Dorris, lives in a retirement home called Roland Park Place (RPP) in Baltimore, MD. A few years ago, I put RPP in the Hunt. People started showing up with flowers and cookies. She called me in a panic, “WHAT IS HAPPENING?! CALL IT OFF!” A few hours later, she called back, “Well, it isn’t so bad…. Maybe just tell them to come during visiting hours.” The next year she said, “You’re going to put RPP in your hunt again, right?!” Clearly she was excited by the prospect. So, we did another RPP item last year. This past year she’s had some health problems. She’s 92, a bit tired, cardiologists, etc. She has been vacillating. She told me to put RPP on the list, to take it off again, and finally yesterday she said, “I think we should do it.” So, if Gammy says “do it,” it is a choiceless matter— it must be done. Visit RPP and take a photo with a resident. Bring a small gift: cookies, flowers, a deck of cards, a board game for the rec room, some water colors, etc.… One more thing, your photo must show you dressed as a pirate. The RPP resident should have at least one pirate accessory on as well (a hat, an eye patch, etc.), which you must furnish for them. If no member of your team lives within 50 miles of RPP, you may perform this item at any retirement home or assisted living facility anywhere in the world. This item must strictly be performed between the hours of 9AM and 5PM, on a weekday (not the weekend).

Anyway, you must pass it on when you see it that day (PDT time zone). Submit a screenshot of your post. Specifically: As some of you may know, I've published a few poems in my day. I fancy myself a wordsmith, but what with shooting, parenting, Gishwhes, and all the [REDACTED BY THE NSA IN THE INTEREST OF NATIONAL SECURITY] I've been doing lately, I've been a little too busy to cozy up with my journal and pen for a quiet writing session. Fortunately, crowdsourcing is "in", so I'm going to crowdsource my next award-winning poem and I'm counting on all of you to help me make it publication-worthy. Sometime today, I'll tweet the first stanza (four lines) of my poem. Choose one member of your team to write the next 2 lines of my poem by retweeting with a comment. Then, that person will tag one another person to write the next 2 lines of the poem, and so on. Each line of the poem must be exactly the same meter as my original work. Get 14 people (including yourself) to contribute to my epic, Pulitizer-prize worthy poem. (At 32 lines, the poem should feel complete. If you have absentee team members you may recruit up to 3 non-team members to fill out your stanzas. Screen shot all 32 lines, beginning with my tweet, for your submission. Oh, and it should be stylistically in the vein of Yeats-meets-Kipling. (The Pulitzer people will eat that up.)

(Please redact any sensitive identifying personal information from your submitted evidence.)

We're planning our gishwhes winners’ trip and need to calculate the travel time from NYC to Reykjavik (the capital of Iceland) if our average speed is 400 miles/hour. Oh, one more thing, this needs to be calculated on a working pre-1970 supercomputer.

#75. VIDEO. 46 POINTS. The tiny kitchen trend is all the rage, but what about tiny bathrooms? Give a full spa experience to a hedgehog, hamster, or mouse, all using tiny spa implements in your tiny spa.

#99. PHOTO or VIDEO. 72 POINTS. The bees are disappearing from our planet. This is particularly tragic for gishers, given our reliance on honey for getting things to stick to our skin (oh yeah, and also because we kind of need them to pollinate the flowering plants on Earth, which we depend on for food). Help save the bees by establishing a milkweed garden, creating a painting or mural honoring bees, helping out at your local apiary, protesting the use of glysophates, supporting an organization dedicated to bee preservation, or in any other way you see fit.

#111. PHOTO. 49 POINTS. Magazines get a lot of flak for airbrushing models, promoting unrealistic expectations and contributing to body image issues.

Your Photoshopped image must include all of the following: additional limbs, machinery, tentacles, and at least one additional enhancement.

#128. VIDEO. 45 POINTS. At gishwhes headquarters, we do almost everything right, with one glaring exception: we have not yet commissioned a gishwhes theme-song. We need a catchy, 10-second jingle that we can play every time the Slangaroo takes the stage.

#129. PHOTO. 23 POINTS. Welcome to Slangatoilegami. You don’t see the phrases “Slangaroo”, “bathroom tissue”, and “origami” together nearly often enough. Let’s fix that. - Dave Lavery

#130. PHOTO. 64 POINTS. How do you plan to spend your extra second? http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2016/07/leap-second-added-year-december-time-clocks-earth-science/ Because you are an efficient person who treasures every moment you are blessed to be on this planet, you need to plan your extra second carefully to maximize its impact. Write a 250-word Op-Ed piece explaining exactly what you plan to do with your extra second and get it published in a newspaper. The piece must seamlessly include a mention of your team name and gishwhes without mentioning that the piece was written as an item for gishwhes.

#131. VIDEO. 75 POINTS. Time-lapse this submission to 20 seconds or less. 3-D printers are really cool. But who really needs another little keychain printed out of plastic? It is time to get creative with the materials used to print your next copy of the head of a Balrog. Show us a 3-D printer that prints with cheese (or Silly String, or toothpaste, or Play-Doh, etc…) - Dave Lavery

#132. PHOTO. 21 POINTS. Seven days of happiness! Each day of gishwhes, do one thing to make someone else happy and document it. Each photo must be taken and submitted on a different day.

#134. PHOTO. 21 POINTS. Happiness DAY 3 (must be submitted on day 3 of the hunt). What have you done today to make someone else happy?

#140. VIDEO. 97 POINTS. A functioning vending machine that dispenses emotions and memories. Show a customer making a purchase.

#141. VIDEO. 39 POINTS. This submission can be as long as it takes you to record it. Our music can change the world. Be part of the Gishwhes choir! Record a video selfie of yourself singing “Carry on my Wayward Son” a capella in the key of A. Your submitted recording must have “Once” starting precisely at the 1 second mark. The recording must also be in tune and on beat. (The submissions will be collected and edited into monstrous chorus.) Sing only the following portion of the song: “Once I rose above the noise and confusion Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion I was soaring ever higher But I flew too high Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man Though my mind could think I still was a mad man I hear the voices when I'm dreaming I can hear them say... Carry on my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry no more.” (If you have already submitted this item in a different key or of different length you will receive your points for this).

#142. PHOTO. 51 POINTS. Submit two images, side-by-side. Contribute to the gishwhes world forest. Plant a native tree in a place you are fairly certain the tree can live out its full life. Submit before and after photos.

#143. PHOTO. 29 POINTS. As you may know, Rob Benedict & Richard Speight are currently in production on their new series, "Kings of Con", where they play MC's on the sci-fi convention circuit as the eponymous kings of conventions. What you may not know is that their agent messed up and booked King Kong and the Kings of Con to MC the same convention. Draw or paint these three giants of the con circuit trying to share the stage or green room. Either Rob or Rich should probably be the lithe damsel in distress.

#144. PHOTO. 27 POINTS. Submit two images, side-by-side. They say you regress to your childhood as you get older. Show us a photo from a part your childhood you’d most like to return to, and a photo of your current progress toward that regression.

#145. PHOTO. 18 POINTS. You hate finishing other people’s sentences, so doesn’t it make you laugh so hard you squirt milk out of your nose when you…

#146. VIDEO. 24 POINTS. Be the town crier for the day and shout what you think people should know about the day’s events in a public square.

#147. PHOTO. 31 POINTS. As we all know Matt Cohen is legendary for taking off his shirt to raise money for charity. His 6-pack abs have single-abdominally raised thousands of dollars for great organizations like www.randomacts.org. Let’s thank his abs for their altruistic humanitarian work by using Photoshop to digitally remove his abs and then place them on a vacation around the world. (Unfortunately Matt can’t make this trip himself as he’s busy shooting his TV show.) His abs can visit anywhere on the planet that you can capture in an image. Let’s make sure they have the proper tourist accessories, too.

#148. PHOTO. 57 POINTS. Art changes lives. Contribute to the gishwhes art gallery by submitting an image taken by you or of you that captures the notion of identity in the 21st century.

#149. PHOTO or VIDEO. 43 POINTS. Someone near you doesn’t have access to clean drinking water. Provide that person with the means to access clean water without purchasing bottled water (this might be by giving the person a filter, or a solar tea kettle, or something like that). If no one near you needs clean drinking water, we have something called the all-powerful Interwebs. You can buy a family clean drinking water for a year: http://lifestraw.eartheasy.com/products/lifestraw-carbon-credits. If no one lives near you and/or you don’t have funds to buy clean drinking water for someone, find another way to promote access to clean, safe water.

#150. PHOTO or VIDEO. 43 POINTS. Those moving sidewalks at the airport are treadmills, and you never exercise without your ipod, short shorts, a tank top and matching head and wristbands.

#151. PHOTO. 17 POINTS. Generate an application form for the job of “Director of Imagined Realities.”

#152. PHOTO. 36 POINTS. Write a poem in binary so that the zeros and ones also form a beautiful pattern.

The message must be addressed to the universe and must be written by a child. Submit your signed and countersigned, legitimate contract by the end of the Hunt. THEN (and this is the only thing that you will be permitted to submit after the official end of the hunt on August 6th), you must submit evidence by email to [email protected] that your payload was successfully launched into orbit. Email proof must be received by 11:59 PM PST September 5th, 2016.

#154. VIDEO. 93 POINTS. You’re on the 2016 Summer Olympics Trash Scull Crew Team! Build your scull out of trash. Your team of 3 rowers is led by a coxswain who bangs two pieces of trash together to keep the time. Row for the gold!

#155. VIDEO. 133 POINTS. Get a 2016 candidate for high-ranking national office (or someone currently in office) to say that they think preserving the habitat of the endangered Slangaroo is a top legislative priority. In the US, this person would need to be either running for President, VP, Senate or the House, or someone currently in office in one of those positions. In other countries it could be a prime minister (or a current head of state) or members of Parliament, etc. They must be candidates or elected officials on the national stage.

#156. VIDEO. 107 POINTS. gishwhes transcends the space-time continuum, bringing old technology to life in modern times to create cutting edge graphics! To demonstrate gishwhes’s ability to bridge time, create a program to display an animation of a gishwhes mascot using a TRS-80, Apple II, Commodore PET, or Commodore 64. ( You may not use an emulator. You must use the actual hardware, and the video must show the graphics playing on the screen of the computer in question.)

#157. PHOTO. 21 POINTS. William Shatner opted out of the Hunt this year due to “scheduling conflicts” (which we all know is code for “trouble in bromance paradise”). Help Shatner realize the egregious mistake he made by skipping the 2016 hunt by sending him 3 photo postcards featuring highlights of this year’s Hunt experience with “Having a wonderful time! Gish you were here, Bill!” Submit a photo of the 3 cards stamped and addressed to Bill. You can all ask him for his mailing address on twitter. He’d like that, I’m sure.

#158. VIDEO. 86 POINTS. If there’s one thing all of us over the age of 35 are nostalgic for it’s the rotary dial phone. We pine for that satisfaction of being able to insert our fingers in that hole and spin the dial. Help bring us back to those halcyon days: Make a smart-phone app that interfaces with a real, old-fashioned rotary phone. (Note: this must not be an app that renders a digital simulation of a rotary phone. It must be an app that somehow works in concert with an actual rotary phone.)

#159. PHOTO. 56 POINTS. Zachary Levi is one of a kind. But what would be better than Zachary Levi? A pair of Zachary Levis, naturally. Paint a portrait of Zachary Levi on a pair of jeans. (The jeans may be distressed, but the depiction of Zachary should not be.) Feel free to get Zachary to model the pants.

#160. VIDEO. 84 POINTS. http://gishwhes.tumblr.com/choosewisely

#161. VIDEO. 127 POINTS. Gishwhes is proud to premiere Amazon’s new shopping service, Amazon Reverse Super Prime Now On Demand Fresh™ (ARSPNODF™)!

#162. VIDEO. 69 POINTS. Here is your item: https://www.dropbox.com/s/367yaonidvn5rqb/slfwxuhsxccoh.jpg?dl=0

#163. VIDEO. 114 POINTS. Time-lapse this submission to 30 seconds or less. Set up a thin, flat, smooth, vertical surface that is at least 3’ high and 3’ wide, (it could be made from 1/8th inch plywood or a similar material that is very thin and very flat). Then, behind this thin, vertical surface, set up powerful electromagnets that spell a word or phrase (make sure to reverse or mirror the letters so that on the front side they are correctly positioned--this might make sense in a second). Then, take a mass of iron filings (a minimum of 1 cubic foot of filings) and pour them through a funnel that is positioned at least 20 inches horizontally in front of the vertical sheet so that when the filings fall through the funnel they are drawn to the magnets and adhere to the sheet. Film the time-lapse as the iron filings fall and cling to the vertical surface to gradually form the word or phrase that the magnets spell out. If that doesn’t make sense (and I know it doesn’t), here’s a little diagram for you: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lahvg70sph9l7t0/diagram_2.jpg?dl=0 Do not attempt this item unless you have worked with electromagnets of this wattage before or have an electrician on hand who has. They can be dangerous.

#164. PHOTO. 17 POINTS. We have Declared August 1st to be a new international holiday: It’s Retro Twitter Day. Retweet something you posted 4 years ago today with a comment. Hashtag it #RetroTwitterDay.

#165. VIDEO. 42 POINTS. Few things are more wayward than dancing with wild abandon in public. You know who's super good at that? These guys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elKgDE5gc9I Find them. Join them. Let them inspire your choreography and costuming. Bonus points for inducting innocent bystander or use of an obscure 80s alternative dance tune soundtrack. Dance like nobody's watching. Except we all are -Kim Rhodes

#166. PHOTO. 32 POINTS. Being #WaywardAF sometimes means being #BadassAF. Take a picture of you doing something you have ALWAYS wanted to do but were afraid to try. Caption your photo with a short explanation and post it to Twitter tagging @OfficialBrianaB and @kimrhodes4real. - Briana Buckmaster and Kim Rhodes

#167. PHOTO. 46 POINTS. Justin Guarini can be a "Lil Sweet" at times: http://www.dietdrpepper.com/?gclid=Cj0KEQjwwry8BRDjsbjMpPSDvagBEiQA5oW0nCKHz838Mz7MBDeTb_x_W9puq-FTaSHe9wyyAv2TwHcaAjEq8P8HAQ Using nothing but forced perspective and a disproportionately large, “weird, unusual or scary” object that you wouldn’t want to be smaller than, make yourself look tiny.

#168. PHOTO. 33 POINTS. At Hope Chest they create butterflies and transform lives http://www.myhopechest.org/ Channeling your inner Monet, pen a message of hope with colored ink on a white bra.

Please note that Gishwhes does not provide bail money.) Once completed, submit your image on the gishwhes website and also tweet to @MyHopeChest your awesome results on the final day of the game. Extra points for incorporating butterflies into the design. - Ruth Connell

#169. VIDEO. 28 POINTS. Time-lapse this submission to 20 seconds or less. Join The Hunt, and wear sensible shoes. Grab a friend and go for a walk. A really, really long walk. Unlock the 2.0KM, 5.0KM and 10.KM Poke Eggs and show us what you've hatched. Capture the journey in a 20 second time-lapse video and submit to Gishwhes. Extra Points if you photo grab your hatchlings and ping @OsricChau with a map of your travels. - Osric Chau

#170. VIDEO. 45 POINTS. Everyone knows Gishers throw the most badass recycling parties. Invite ten of your rockstar friends to help you collect litter from a park, roadside location, or public space. You must EACH collect 20lbs of debris, and dispose of it appropriately. Show us a 15 second montage of the festivities. (Extra points for recycling— and don’t forget, it’s a party!). - Lana Parrilla

#171. VIDEO. 44 POINTS. Time to prove you are the person Mr. Rogers knew you were capable of becoming. Ask an overwhelmed mom or elderly neighbor for a list of five chores they could use some help with. Show us that list and you getting them all checked off.

Help Misha out by cosplaying as him in front of one of the 7 modern wonders of the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New7Wonders_of_the_World No photo manipulation — you have to really be there.

#173. VIDEO. 42 POINTS. You may have heard about a little show called Hamilton. Lin Manuel Miranda lit up Broadway with his innovative style, combining traditional theater and rap to engage delighted theater goers with the story of history’s hippest Founding Father. But that was just a big “win all the 2016 Tonys” ploy. We want to hear and see– in full costume a rap song about another historical figure important to you. Upload a 15 second video on the site AND send it to @Lin_Manuel.

#174. PHOTO. 62 POINTS. We here at gishwhes feel that it’s important to embrace A.I. because - let’s be honest - it just feels good. We also feel it’s important to be able to identify species other than our own when the time comes (soon) that aliens arrive (likely borough or splatter) on our planet. If we can’t make these differentiations, we put ourself at extreme risk of interstellar species misidentification (a plight none of us should be subjected to nor a party of). Accordingly, please treat this item and the ensuing exercise with the respect and devotion it deserves. You’ll also get points. So there’s that. If that’s still not enough, know that this is part of a legitimate research paper that will further scientific research methods worldwide. If it’s not clear, Gishwhes likes supporting science in addition to stormtrooper humiliation, weird food art, and global kindness. http://ubee.enseeiht.fr:8080/PartsSimilarity/home.html

#175. PHOTO. 108 POINTS. CHANGE A LIFE. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), 4.8 million people have fled Syria since the civil war began in 2011. (Over 6 million others are internally displaced within Syria.) Many of these families are living in tent cities and encampments with very few resources and very difficult lives. Gishwhes and Random Acts would like to team with Gishers across the globe to help change the lives of FOUR families in particularly dire circumstances in refugee camps in Lebanon. The first is a family where a mother of 4, Khouloud, was paralyzed from the neck down by a sniper's bullet while tending her vegetable garden. For two years, she has been unable to leave the tented shack she shares with her family in a refugee encampment in Lebanon. The second is the family of a 12-year old girl, Khawla, who attempted suicide so that her mother would have one less mouth to feed (the father is presumed dead by the Syrian government). The third is a widowed mother, Reem Diab, who lost her husband, child and her leg in a rocket attack and who lives in a tent on a rooftop in Lebanon. And lastly, we want to help, Aya Sokheyta, a 7-year old girl with spina bifida, who cannot move her legs. Our goal is to provide healthcare and comfort for the individuals in the families above that require it, nutritional food and permanent housing for, and provide the means for all of the children to attend school. We’ve created a Crowdrise page here https://www.crowdrise.com/change-a-life-khoulouds-story. DONATIONS ARE 100% TAX DEDUCTIBLE AND 100% OF THE DONATIONS GOES TO THE FAMILIES (for countries other than U.S., deductions are contingent on your laws). The Gishwhes Item is to create a fundraising “page” for your team, where family, friends and others can donate. Since this is Gishwhes and there’s always an extra twist with everything we do, here’s the deal: we also want you to get OTHERS to donate to your team’s crowdrise page. We know you don’t need “points” as an incentive to help these families, but since it is part of the Hunt, we want to maximize the power of these points to help: start a page and try to get at least 10 donations from people or businesses NOT on your team. You and your team members are welcome to donate to your campaign, but that is not a requirement for points— the Item requirement is to get at least 10 people to make a cumulative total of least 10 donations who are NOT on your team. There is no minimum to donate for GISHWHES purposes, but Crowdrise does require a minimum $10 donation be collected, and let’s all please encourage others to be generous so we can make a profound impact. SUBMIT a screenshot of your team's page with a minimum of 10 donations on it. (To initially create a fundraising team, click the FUNDRAISE FOR THIS CAMPAIGN button.). If for any reason your team is unable to (or chooses not to) join this crowdrise campaign, you may still get points for this Item by collecting goods or volunteering at least 2 hours of your time with any refugee aid organization that is providing relief to refugees. SUBMIT PROOF YOU HAVE DONE THIS. For example, Spark Ontario’s Warm Welcome program (http://www.findmyspark.ca/warmwelcome), Deutsche Kleiderstiftung (Clothing Foundation) in Germany (http://www.kleiderstiftung.de/kleidung-spenden/ ), or ref.connect’s cultural integration program (http://www.refconnect.de/de/about/konzept.html) in Germany. You do not need to use these specific programs to qualify for points; these are just examples— any legitimate organization helping refugees is acceptable. Thank you for being a part of this. We hope you join us in helping to change these families’ circumstances for the better and we will be sending Gishers updates on their situation in the coming months and years.

#176. PHOTO. 48 POINTS. Every year William Shatner hosts The Hollywood Horse show celebrating the unique and special work of therapeutic riding animals. http://www.horseshow.org/ It's about time your freeloader pet got a job and moved out. Show us their career trajectory by writing a formal resume highlighting their special skills and qualifications. Post it on LinkedIn. Get ten people to give a recommendation.

#177. VIDEO. 69 POINTS. Not everyone knows this, but legendary outlaw Doc Holliday was a dentist. Crochet a gunslinger's belt worthy of Doc Holliday out of dental floss. Instead of a gun, your holsters hold a toothbrush, of course. Draw! (And don't skip the gumline.)

#178. VIDEO. 71 POINTS. Time-lapse your submission where appropriate. We're looking for Gishers to be product testers for our new line of powerful breath-defying mints! If you received a barf bag & mints last year, this Item is for you. Create a 25 second video in which you create the most unappealing (but still safe to consume) "mouthwash" you can from food items, condiments and drinks. Really make it a stomach-churning, disgusting combination of edible products—for example, chocolate milk, mayonnaise, pureed anchovies and orange juice. Then, use the mouthwash on yourself. Make sure to gargle! Finally, use on of our Gishwhes patented breath-defying mints and give a loved one a kiss. Rate the product on whether your loved one needed to use the barf bag after locking lips with you. (If you did not get a patented trademarked gishwhes barf bag & mints, then you are part of our control group and may complete this item with any barf bag and some probably inferior, commercially available breath mints.)
