Suggestions Box by misschraddøn, MonkeyBoy Dan

Day One.
I live in one of those terrible places where you are constantly surrounded by people but always very alone. I have lived in my building for a year and a half now and have only really ever met people from one of the other hundred or so apartments. I find this terribly sad.
This task seemed the perfect opportunity to try and remedy that so MonkeyBoy Dan and I decided to install a Suggestion Box in my building entrance to see if we could get people talking, at the very least communicating, with each other.
Dan: Chris did the box, I did the sign and the NPC provided the blu-tak.
On the way to install the box we asked two people if they wanted to make a suggestion.
They both said no.
Of the two one was a lady who seemed interested but for some strange reason intimidated by two large hairy men she didnt know approching her in the hallway. The other was a gent whose searing indifference blasted at us with enough force to pin us to the wall.
Day 1.
Two suggestions in the box!
Day 2
Just the one more...
Day 3
They just keep flooding in (four today!)
Day 4
I just got back from a couple of days away to find a couple more...
If you want to see what they all said clearly I've put annotations in the pictures below...
Well the box is going to stay there although someone stole my pen! - saying that though it's got the name and address of my Aunt and Uncle's hotel in France on it though so maybe they'll get some business out of it :D
Update from Dan:- I am hugely, massively, unnaturally in favour of the Barbeque idea. If we can bring the souless automatons (ordinary residents) of the citadel (the name of the complex Chris lives in, it's nice enough but it doesn't deserve such a cool name) together with some sfz(h)eroes in the presense of MEAT and FIRE I will consider it a sacred act.
And I am getting a life. A certain collabrative production game is an integral part of this process.
Monkey Power!

Suggestion box is probably my favorite task ever.
