could we just buy something and leave it there?
Interesting idea but i am required to hate it because I work retail, this would be a reshop nightmare!!! No really though, cool task.
NYTimes calls it shopdropping, though.
The US Attorney's Office calls it Illegal. Sometimes. Food mostly. If you tamper with pre-existing products.
Edit: Just saying, there is a right way to do this task, and a wrong way. We don't need SF0 on the evening news, unless it is for something like this.
Looks like if you shplank it, even the FDA won't get on your case.
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?!
Awesome.
I live in Longmont. My group is Longmont Occultology !!
:) So cool that this happened right here.

Addendum: I wrote this in a super hurry trying to get this task in the mail for Disintermediate the Submit Proof Button I had been planning this one since I started playing. I had submitted a task last era with this same name but with a bit more rest...
Step 0: Conception (the kind involving ideas, not haploids). I needed Zombie History Month greeting cards to distribute, as promised in the informational zombie history pamphlets I'd already passed out, by way of the zombie history information cente...
When I saw this task, I knew it was perfect for me, because I had recently come into possession of an item that I do not want to own any longer. It is this book: What? you say. What is wrong with such a nice looking book? No offense is meant...
Have you ever noticed how bleak the card selection for Fathers Day is? If your dad isn’t into golf or fishing you’re going to have a rough time finding a card with an appropriate graphic, let alone a fitting sentiment. We set out to solve this pr...
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...
Since my Ymir completion I've made quite a few more terrariums. I give most of them away for fear that if I don't, I will look up one day to find they've taken over every surface in my home. This is my latest. Isn't it pretty? With most of my ...
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...
