Unorthodox Bath by Poisøn Lake, Juxtapolemic
May 10th, 2007 12:17 AMSo we bathed in cereal, and it was glorious. J fulfilled her dream of being a marshmallow ("if only I could float!") and I fulfilled my dream of having an extended love affair with a sugary snack food. The task demanded several days of mental preparation. The first few days involved a rigorous process of visualizing a unity with the fiberous rings invading our hypothetical underpants and repeatedly sniffing an incense made of pure milk to desensitize us to the awful smell. The latter days involved little more than a frenzy of teeth-gnashing and self-flagellation to prepare ourselves for the instability of mind we would be forced to endure while floating listlessly in the milk like so many prepackaged stowaway insects (they taste better once sugared). The final day involved sleeping in, buying some milk and bulk-O's, and yogically submerging literally and metaphorically into a deep state of O-oneness-O's.
Then we got in and took some pictures. Enjoy, there's plenty of left-overs.

The joys of cereal adventure. Did it have any affect on your skin and bodily odour? Have you randomly happened upon the elixar of youth? Or was it a lesson learned to not play with dairy products?
love IS sitting in your breakfast.
p.s. nice ink. show more!
What a waste of food.
No vote from me.
Nice to hear such a constructive contribution from such an active player.
Vote from me!
ooo ooo I have a task for you, Rubin: make a careful and detailed list of all the tasks in SF0 that can be done without wasting anything. Unorthodox baths, for example, could probably not be done without wasting ... water, or food, petroleum jelly, or whatever is chosen. So prolly the task itself is an auto-waster. Perhaps the problem is not with the doer but with the task. don't hate tha playa...hate tha game?
perhaps this particular bag of off-brand-O's was not the secret to eternal youth, but i am convinced some cheap bag of cereal is. nothing specifically smelled like honey-nut-evil after we got out & took a real shower, but i kept smelling hints of it all night.
next time i think we'll try lucky charms (saving & re-dehydrating them after bathing, of course)
You've inspired me. I have always dreamed of sleeping in a bed of Wonder Bread, but never thought of actually doing it. Congrats on making the bizarre a reality.
I have never been more happy to see a task I created proformed in my entire life, I have to hand it to you two your unorthodox bath is quite unorthodox
Do you know what this reminds me of? This reminds me of you finding out that there was such a place that had free BQwings and Gold Fish in the same city. I think that the reason you love this task, is because now there is such a place that has taking a bath with cereal. Which is awesome.
I bet that most cereal lovers fantasize about this kind of thing...
Congratul-fucking-ations Burn Unit! You've just killed any want from me on ever returning to this game.
I'm having to side with Cunning here. Glasnost should be renamed to Lack-of-creativity,-I'm-going-to-post-photos-that-I-had-nothing-to-do-with,-let-alone-take,-as-my-proof.
I'm glad I was a part of this for the first year, every time I tune into the feed all I see is people hording for points as quickly as they can. I'm happy Olly and Star made the book before the change. I'm thrilled I got to compete with such creative people.
Dear new comers to SFZero, to the ones who don't put their hearts and souls into the drive, to the ones who go for quantity over quality. Fuck off.
Rubin Starset you my good sir are a Smog Queen
some of the task completions are less than inspiring to me as of late.. but i think this is great. they actually put out effort and did something fun and creative.
rubin, you're a good person, but you need to chill out. if you really want there to be more exciting completions, you need to do things to encourage it, not just piss people off. the best ways are by example. the more people doing interesting, creative tasks, the more likely others will put that extra effort in. another way is constructive criticism. if there are tasks that aren't up to snuff, then encourage them in the right direction. constructive criticism is fine, as long as it's not always angry. i know that you are just sort of the angry guy.. but too much of that doesn't help anyone.
I thought that this was a very unique way of taking a bath and completely enjoyed the photos. What's more, I'm sure that no one else in their inner circle can claim to have done something so bizzare as taking a bath with cereal. It's all about the little moments in life and I think that that is what SF0 is for in the first place. To get you out of your shell, to start thinking differently and to try something new. Cheers you guys! I love this task you've done!
Rubin, what exactly is your problem with THIS proof? The task is pretty straight forward - bathe strangely. Unless this is your normal means of bathing, I really don't get your comments.
Quite frankly, I think this will be hard to beat...but I hope others will try - I love this task and it's potential for interesting, fun proofs!
And, I don't mean this in a vindictive way, but only to understand what appears to me to be hypocrisy - what have you done this era? I recall one good proof (ridiculous protest) but it wasn't even done in this era!! A retroactive proof from someone so concerned about creativity?!
If you truly care about this game, you show it strangely. Constructive criticism might indeed help new players grow and understand the drive, but your type of insightful comments (Fuck off, Ass Hat, etc...) do nothing helpful that I can see.
Cyber Kitty makes a good point.
why return to the game, just to put people down...
that picture of the toilet bowl makes me conjure an image of someone very hung over having a rough morning.
By the way, if you haven't already, on my campaign trail I make a (pretty damn long) speech with a story in it, about my wife's very funny/good reaction to this task. Irony, why must you mock me, yea even unto my home?! (it's under the lots of words mp3)
There is a cereal bath they have to relieve itching. It looks like oat meal. Thankfully it tastes like it too!
I love cereal. That's 10 points.
Picture of the cleanup was unnecessary and made me not want to eat cereal. As I mentioned above, I love cereal. Ergo, -5 points.
ass flavored o's.
is what
got my vote.
!
What an excellent multi-tasking concept. Bathing and breakfast rolled into one. You could save a lot of time in the mornings with this approach!
i wish i had been around when this task was created, but what i'd really like to know is was the cereal in the toilet necessary? i wish i could give an extra vote for that one. were you brave enough to eat them?
ohhh man!!! J. looks so grossed out and Dave looks like a nut. Congrats on fulfilling those life-long dreams... and thanks for the laugh!
