Super Vote by susy derkins
December 14th, 2008 1:14 AM* A Superb Urban Improver and Navigator
* Someone that goes beyond playing with food to drawing with food and even dressing as food, and also manages to cultivate a whole lot of not-food-related indoor/outdoor/great outdoor tasking skills.
* A fantastic writer (the guy can submit task write-ups that rhyme without batting an eye).
* And last, but not least, a very much inspired

So, a supervote, surely, but since I have not artistic skills whatsoever I decided that the supervote would be an acrostic made by the following things:
S turgeon's To Marry Medusa novel, for something he said over at SF0Skypechat ("you know, as a collective, we're a very smart person")
U nremarkable metal box containing some remarkable strong magnets and some remarkably mild mints
P anal de avispas (that is a wasps' nest, a tiny one)
E nchilados, dried mangos
R evolutionary with broken gun (brought at the market of a zapatista town, broken on transit, but since those guys have never fired their guns again, the symbolism is a bonus)
V aritas de luz (glowsticks for you)
O rganic Oaxacan coffee ("just caffeine, who has time to acquire more serious habits?")
T atoos, surfing themed
E xtremely geeky blindfold
I hope that receiving a suspicious looking package gives Loki a bit of a surprise. Surprise is good. As for the ensemble itself, I tried to make it a set of things that he might find desirable to wear/eat/read/drink/set free on a park bench. (Wear the magnets, drink the glowsticks? It's all about tasking genius). Everything is, I am sure, more or less combustible too.

Awe shucks.
Thanks, you two. I'm afraid I probably won't be able to make it to LA for a year or so. Perhaps some long distance collaboration in the meantime?
I love Supervotes! I'm so glad to see one back surface!
And what a perfect player to receive one!
(who has the other seven?) Half of them have been used now.
Thanks a bunch, Susy.
A thoughtful super-vote, clearly designed for me in particular. (And tasty! At least, the edible bits. Haven't had a chance to sample the glowing bits, although the package loudly proclaim them to be non-toxic.)
Beware, would be doers of evil - I now possess the bandanna of science.
[This space reserved for a DIY vote, just as soon as I come up with one.]
The Walrus just the other day said to me "You know who I really like?" After several wildly wrong guesses, she said "I really like Loki." We need to get you down to LA again -- just let us know when a good time for an LA event would be, and we'll figure something out.
