Interesting idea but i am required to hate it because I work retail, this would be a reshop nightmare!!! No really though, cool task.

Mr. Urbina contacted us for that article actually, so we sent him an email about SFZero and these completions. It looks like we got lost between a Marx, Bakunin, and Guevara t-shirt (did they buy that on Haight St. or make it?) and some self-promoting band. Alas, whither the Fun Spoon, or Mac 'n' Cheese Surprise?!

I liked the idea of giving someone the opportunity to wear a t-shirt with my name on, everyone should have fans! (click to enlarge the pics)

" The lowest ebb is the turn of the tide." As of posting time these items may have a slim chance of still being on the shelf so for those in hot pursuit of the reverse reverse shoplifting task, good luck. Usually when I'm cooking up a p...

I absolutely love the idea of this task, even though I am not really sure if I got the completion right... please tell me what you think. First I wanted to leave something in a store that could actually be bought there but was strangely out of place...

For the last month I've been dealing with a problem person challenging my use of the name "Ariock" and I've been talking to some of my online friends about it. One of those friends created a little banner for me, and it was a hit among my f...

I get free Naked Juice (let's just say "I know a guy who knows a guy") so my fridge is typically full of the stuff. The Safeway nearest to me recently started selling Naked Juice, but I have access to flavors that Safeway doesn't carry. S...
