The Big Red X

This proof has been flagged by several of your fellow players (for the benefit of all, flags are anonymous). As such, it has been automatically disapproved. Most likely, they've posted comments explaining why they're displeased. If you think you may be the victim of a bug, injustice, or a gang of Rubins, hit up the contact page.

I didn't, (because it made me laugh and I sure as hell wasn't going to ask for a picture.) so it must be four, or people flagged it who didn't comment.

Difficult, indeed. If your proof is suggesting what I think it's suggesting (guys, I think he's talking about his dick; yeah! his lingam got smaller in teh shower!) I empathize: how might one document such a thing? That's actually the point--nothing whatever wrong with your interpretation of the task, quite amusing! Creativity in documentation is so often rewarded around here that it seems like people are hungry for it, ready to leap on cleverness or effort in depth. So it remains how might one document such a thing?

Could take the cam into the shower with you (though very risky to the electronics in most cases). Might not want a friend to shower with you and document in gruesome detail. Perhaps a little uncomfortable to write about it explicitly--as I've just now implied, it's occasionally tough to talk about the private parts in detail without resorting to crude jokes, especially online--a thorough depiction in clinical or metrical terms might be too much for some to want to put out there. A drawing would be amusing, but perhaps that's not your style (or skill). IN fact, this proof raises the question:do we rely too heavily on photos here? perhaps we are too visually oriented. SO, what to do?

What might people glean from their group affiliations when doing these kinds of proofs? UofA players taking on your shrunken member idea have it naturally the most obvious--create something beautiful depicting the event. Since it's a physiological reaction, Biomes would also have several entry points to the documentation. In your case, what might the aims and language thrust of BART pa provide for a guide? "Aesthetic promises about a unitary urban dreamland" "the dreams that BART gives us, and then we ride it and chart the length of our despair and the interval of our hope." hm, some interesting language in there, perhaps, if you wanted to frame the proof in a detailed written narrative. What is the effect on the size of your Holiest of Holies when subject to movement thru space-time via the public transport? What what process emerges if you used the rise and fall of your "production equipment" as the randomizing agent for a derive? walk thru the city until you feel it shrink, then change direction accordingly? Write down what you encounter.

None of these ideas is necessarily the panacea, but from here it looks like you specifically asked. Just $.02 to add to the pile.

he's [dragon8827] got a point...

i don't think i want to see the documentation.

i'd say a task should more than just a penis joke, but that would be just plain hypocritical of me.

Fair enough...

(Warning - second time today with tooting of my horn - sorry I'm such a dick)

...but it's often the creativity of your proof that earns you points on SFØ.

Use your imagination. It's what Good Charlotte would do.

i suggest u ppl look at the villans completion of this task.

W.W.G.C.D.? Ha!!!

Wow Burn Unit elevating the discussion as always, nicely done. Integrating the trajectory of desire into the completion/documentation style is such a sweet idea. That really raises the whole level of what is goin on.

Mr. 8827 how does what the Villain did relate to possible feelings regarding this task?

Lank: kudos for your boldness, i am scratching out my eyeballs as we speak. respect. (You could put the photos in the reverse order, and i think this task would be done as well, but you are better than that)
