We Need A Few Good Lunatics...

[lagilman]

Have you ever felt that there has to be more to life than this? That there is a bud of tightly-furled lunacy in you that you've never had the chance to see bloom? That there are strangers you have not made laugh, neighbors you have not scandalized, and friends you haven't dragged into shenanigans?

(Or was that strangers and shenanigans, friends scandalized, and neighbors laughing? Whatever. Carry on.)

Have you ever wanted to look back and say "oh god I can't believe I did that?"

Have you ever wanted to stop and say "we are fucking AWESOME?"  (Or abnosome?)

Have you ever looked a people having a ridiculously good time that's probably illegal for anyone over five not currently wearing fingerpaint or pudding all over them, and thought, wistfully, "that looks like fun?"

Are you fearless?  Or at least, capable of saying "oh what the hell?"

Team Awesome Innuendo Wants You.

What do we want you for?  We'll get to that later.  Just sign here on this line by the x....


(Disclaimer: this will require one full week out of your life, most likely in August.  Some of you may be running away already.  Those of you who're intrigued, step closer.  Just a little closer...*hides butterfly net behind her back*)

With a hook like that, who can resist. I already feel that seed of lunacy unfurling deep inside. August sounds like a lovely time to cut it free.

[neadods.livejournal.com]

I am intrigued!

[lagilman]

I'm assuming you know what you would be getting yourself into?

[neadods.livejournal.com]

Not a thing, that's why I'm intrigued.

[lagilman]

*laughs* Google "GISHWHES."

[neadods.livejournal.com]

Ah! I tend to suck at that...

[lagilman]

at what? Gishwhes is literally 1001 different things... that's what makes it so much fun.

[neadods.livejournal.com]

At the either getting someone's help to get a shot or at being clever about what's being found.

I am... intrigued

[etcet.livejournal.com]

Not sure I'm up/down for it, but definitely curious.

Re: I am... intrigued

[lagilman]

Google "gishwhes" and think long and hard about your relative sanity levels...

I do not have +SAN to spare, and so I will watch, cheer, and scratch my head, because I've never found my Scavenger Hunt button :-)

Re: I am... intrigued

[lagilman]

It's not really a scavenger hunt in the traditional sense. it's...hard to explain until you've lived it.

I seeeeee... I may just contribute, because late August is typically devoured by my staff obligations at Dragon*Con (when I'm not lurking in UF snark panels *cough*) ;-)

I may not have an entire week of August, but can certainly provide cookies.

[wyld-dandelyon.livejournal.com]

This sounds interesting...which week in August? I'm not sure how my life will be working out in August, but maybe...

[lagilman]

I have no knowledge of nor control over what week it will be (or even if it will be in August for certain, although Our Overlord did say it would be (he occasionally changes reality to suit ...reality).

Being able to react on a few months' notice is essential.

[wyld-dandelyon.livejournal.com]

I should know in a month or two if I can make that kind of commitment.

"What the hell" - Yes

[claireeddy.livejournal.com]

Alas, I am too much of an old grownup for this...but I would cheerfully lend aid where and when I can if there is any role for a sideline few :)

[lagilman]

Heh. Mad may be in a corner waving "no no don't say that go back, flee! you fool..."

[dickgloucester.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'm officially intrigued.

[scarlettina.livejournal.com]

I admit curiosity, certain sure.

[paulliver.livejournal.com]

My mom's side of the family already thinks I'm nuts and that's just because I want to be a writer instead of a lawyer.

[genobeba24.livejournal.com]

I think I'll volunteer just because I tend to shy away from such things. Count me crazy, I mean in. ;-)

[mysocalledhell.livejournal.com]

August is usually ridiculously busy for me at the day job, but I've got some friends that have participated the last couple years and they have a blast.
