Fortune Not Cookie by Nat Mun

August 10th, 2010 2:38 PM / Location: 32.280456,-106.7499

INSTRUCTIONS: Install fortunes of your devising in permanent or non-permanent media in openable structures, such that passersby will come across them.

Now. New Mexico is hot. Las Cruces is hot. And I dont mean oh turn the fan on or get in the shade hot. I mean my electric bill increases by about 70% in the summer just to run my AC hot. It aint pretty either. Not that it matters. Moving on. Fortunes. Well. I dragged along a friend of mine since he knows the campus better and conned him into being my camera man....hence I take no responsibility for blur pics. Speaking of which!

Figure 1

So we decided to run out into the night and find places to leave our notes and such we decided to be Ninja like about it and write them spontaneously as we went. So with recycled note cards (I used them for a game a while back, each had a noun on the back - pretty girl, werewolf, baby, dog, ect.), some packing tape and a pen we got to work.

See Figure 2

We found a newspaper box right off the bat, pretty easy right? no kudos points for being inventive there. So we put some extra effort into that fortune. Next.

See Figure 3

We put out a pair of twins, Library return boxes actually, at which point I started misspelling things like the brain-broked dyslexic monkey I am.

See Figure 4

From there we wandered down away from the open area by the Library and slipped into the only building still unlocked at the time. SUDDENLY---we were hit by the urgent need to pee! I already had a card taped and ready to fortune up, so.....the bathroom proved difficult...so it got left behind.

See Figure 5

Then we moved ninja style down the dark hallways ninja style. Were we spotted the lonely and quite empty fire extinguisher box. We felt bad for it so shared some love with it.

See Figure 6

We moved on, looking for drawers, bins, folders, anything we could tuck one of our little whispers into and found the building lacking! Alas! So, on a spur we ducked into a class room that had a light on and the door open....AND WE GOT CAUGHT! DUN DUN DUNNNNN! But since students are allowed in the building after hours for stuff like turning in home work and the like we made up an excuse about loosing my cell phone and booked it out of there.

Sure that the TA who caught us would surely call security (he didnt we're paranoid NINJAS) we hid out in a bathroom on the second floor for a while....It had a couch. We did not take a picture of the couch. But we did leave our last fortune in of all things the tampon vending machine!

See Figure 7

It much like the fire extinguisher box was unlocked, open, and sadly empty. So we gave it some love too.

At that point we figured we best cut our losses as our luck was sure to run out and disappeared into the night.....oh. And the campus is full of skinks we learned........and ran.

The problem with spontaneous fortunes is spelling fails.....I have shame.

What were your fortunes? Apologies if the fortunes you placed were written somewhere I missed.

If you want to include those images in the body of your proof, there are several ways to accomplish this. Here's some documentation explaining how.

For example, instead of "See Figure 1" you'd put
<img src="http://sf0.org/media/natmun/main_stuff01093984.jpg" />
or
[proof:1 size:100 align:left]
in its place and the image will appear.

welcome to the game

Thank you for your comments!

Im having so much fun with this game and am dragging more people in. Because lets face it..this must be shared!

As for the fortunes, there were pics of the texts, but.....my camera guy can only seem to take a non-blurry picture of the ground (im not joking sadly). Also it was night, so...they didnt really come out. We settled on silly things with a few uplifting things in the mix.

1. in the newspaper stand "Today you will see the world differently, remember to look around with new eyes."
2. in the first book drop "Tomorrow you will see a forgotten friend."
3. in the second book drop "Today you will return a book to the library." (complete with typos heheh)
4. in the girls bathroom paper towel dispenser "Today someone will call you Stan."
5. in the fire extinguisher box "Im sorry." we thought it was ironic.
6. in the the empty vending machine. "Today will be better."

Also! thanks for the tips on formatting. I was never good at that @_@
