One Cent by auntie matter

September 17th, 2008 7:43 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Mail a penny to another player.

I wasn't originally planning on doing the cent task, but i found myself in possesion of a particularly SPECIAL penny. It had served me well by providing a useful temporary fix for my broken TOILET.



Once i FIXED the broken toilet, i realized i just HAD to share the utilitarian charms of this magical penny with another sf0 player. But which sf0 players would i consider so exemplary as to be WORTHY of a cent which had the power to repair a TOILET? Naturally, my mind first turned to the MAYOR of claycord, so i looked up the adress of the Claycord City Hall on the interweb ONLY to REALIZE that there was, in fact, no actual town of claycord and that the mayor of claycord was merely a personality on a webpage. I found a CORD road in CLAY county IN, but even Clay, IN had no mayor that i could tell. Back to the drawing board. "OF COURSE", I realized IMMEDIATELY, "The gummi bears! As hard working as they are, they certainly need a magic and utilitarian penny!" So I googled the US HEADQUARTERS for the gummies, and i was ready to get to work.




Although i edited out my adress for the benefit of interweb lurkers, i did in fact include it on the envelope. I will let you know if any of the gummies or their representatives at HARIBO of AMERICA get back to me!

look at proof photos for slightly more detail!

*Note: it's really sad i didn't have the foresight to document the actual fixing of the toilet for the "make it work" task. I mean, the pictures of Auntie Matter sprawled on her bathroom floor with the removed toilet tank on her lap sawing off rusted toilet tank bolts with a hacksaw, hands smeared with degraded black toilet flapper rubber, mouth spewing every cussword known to man, would have made for some awesome looking proofs. But, oh well, you will just have to be content with the cheapie old cent task. *

The gummies are pleased to see that Auntie Matter wishes for them to have a penny. Please know that while headquarters is often quite busy, and may not respond, the gummies are grateful for your support.

Yes you should. I just finished Season One last night. Holy crapballs is that a good show. It reminds me of Homicide: Life on the Street. It is also without question the slowest structured show I have ever seen. And it's beautiful. It's as if P.T. Anderson wrote a TV show.
