Ransom by Flowen

November 12th, 2007 9:28 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Once in awhile a friend leaves something behind in a public place. Go ahead and pick it up for them but hold it for ransom. Take picture of it with a ransom note, complete with demands. Email or mail the note to them. Bonus points if they pay up.

So this task is retired but I still have it in the active window so I guess I can still do this one, right?

So I put these together and sent it to him through Email, he has until thanksgiving to pay up, or else, buahahah...laugh with me, SfO cohorts! BUAHAHAHAHAHA!

More pictures to come WHEN he pays up, or if I have to actually destroy the glasses.

THE NOTE!!!

GREATINGS SIR ZAHM!

I have acquired your glasses! You know the ones! You will fulfill my list of demands or they shall be destroyed by my latest invention, a device made specifically for “Office Arms Race”! You will meat the following conditions or your glasses will be subject to experimentation, they will likely not survive!

THE DEMANDS!!!
1) You shall make for me a set of boffing sticks, they shall have blades measuring two and a half feet and handles measuring six inches! If the dimensions are wrong so help me your glasses will be destroyed, in front of their children.

Okay so there was actually only one demand, but that matters not! You will fulfill the condition or else! You have until thanksgiving!
-From my evil lair I laugh at your peril!
-Flowen

-------------------UPDATE----------------------
This being the nigh before the deadline I thought it only fair to remind Zahm of the plight his poor glasses faced! I sent him the following message only minuets ago!

YOUR TIME IS RUNNING OUT ZAHM!!! IF THE RANSOM IS NOT PAID BY MIDNIGHT TOMORROW THE GLASSES WILL BE DESTROYED!!!! OH NOEZZZ!!!!

I've been thinking of some dramatic ways to kill the glasses but SF0 people are a creative lot so I ask you SF0, How do YOU think I oughta kill off the glasses? I'll do the most diabolical or comedic one I have the means to do.

------------------UPDATE---------------------
Come on? Anyone? Noone wants to help? At any rate I'm chalking the no responses thing up to lack of time, so I'm extending the dead line untill Tuesday. I got a really good suggestion from someone in my law class that I might go with. But noone else has a crazy way to destroy something?

Many people keep tasks in their currently-being-worked-on list in case they're retired.

Intriguing. (Although treading a wee bit close to the line that separates stylized and cool looking from hard to read and cool looking.)

I look forward to seeing what happens.

That's actually a pretty funny ransom note, but it's hard to read. You should post the text up seperately.

I'll try and remember to check back later to find out what happened to the glasses!

You probably should have strapped the glasses onto the table.

Okay

Yeah I oughta write the text out, I'm gonna get on that, I liked the effect the camera had (it was all distort-y) But anyway, I'll post a text spoiler for those of you who don't like squinting.

I still think you should roast the glasses on a spit.

Also, Briana suggests that you should give them to her. >_
