INSTRUCTIONS: Create a public or semi-public physical representation of a virtual occurrence.

When I viewed the praxis already submitted for this task, I was surprised no one had done it yet. My inspiration came in the form of the various HTTP error messages, for various reasons. People who chance across them will hopefully know what they are, I know they've annoyed me enough times to recognize at a glance. So! Off to the nearest big box store! NOTE: A HUGE problem in Wasilla, TOO MANY BIG BOX STORES.

Phase One

We start with a shoebox, and cut out the bottom.

Phase 1...2

And draw a "DAMNIT WHY WON'T YOU LOAD @($*%#&!!!" symbol in the corner.

Phase 1 Final

My sister... OH GOD! REFRESH! REFRESH!

Phase 2

My various error messages to be distributed. Yes, Error 418 says what you think it says.

Phase 3

Here we are with a rather deletable looking picture.

Unfortunately, it seems our flowers didn't load...

In Plain Sight

And back on the shelf with the error page.

Flow- Thru Brush

Key words here "Telescoping Handle And Multi-Level Brush Head"

"Telescoping"... But not at the moment.

I couldn't decide if this was to be a 403 or 502, but since it wasn't locked, I decided on the latter.

Access, denied.

I wish this was out in the open more, but it's fine.

I LAUGHED SO HARD

Apparently, someone set up a code as a joke on April Fool's Day a few years ago...

Drum Roll Please

Yes, it's an actual error code. How someone got their server to be a teapot, I have no idea.

Difficulties

This is where I had to decide, tear out a page for my 404 message, or leave it as is...

Okay, Okay

I left the book, I couldn't bring it upon myself to tear one out.

Favorite

I had this exact drive-through in mind when I printed off my 503, a local taco joint, I don't even know WHY they have a drive through, they've never used it.
