Behind the Scenes
Item 149 – Trudeau Melt
(Time-lapse up to 25 seconds.) Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gets a lot of attention for being super hot. Frankly, it’s starting to detract from his ability to govern. Cool things down by making a sculpture of Trudeau out of Canada’s most ample resource: ice. A couple of caveats: the frozen water you use must have something added to it to make it opaque, and inside the ice must be something emblematic of canada that doesn’t melt (for example, a hockey skate). The timelapse must be of the sculpture melting revealing the object hidden inside. Make sure to frame your shot with a fitting or neutral background so that the final product really pops.
Item 116 – Kessel Run
Not many people know this, but the Kessel Run was actually a foot race. Let’s see at least 5 Star Wars characters competing in the Kessel Run in a shopping mall.
Item 7 – Grandparent Stories
You love your grandparents, or your great-grandparents, but you’ve never heard their stories. Get one of them to tell you about the two most transformative experiences of their early life, before they turned 30. These must be experiences that shaped them into the people they are today. They may be difficult situations or lucky ones, but they must be transformative. Subject(s) must be more than 80 years old.

GISHWHES National Scavenger Hunt Day Minihunt – Item 3 – The Knight and the Snail
As all Gishers know, Medieval Knights were often depicted battling snails and nobody knows why… except you. YOU know. Show us a historical re-enactment that adequately explains this centuries-old rivalry.
Lyrics
A million years ago, or so
Is where I’ll set my tale
Of a knight most fair who became aware
Of our humble hero snail
The snail was a victim of the old caste system
Of systematic oppression
She prayed the knight would heed her plight
But soon she’d learn her lesson
“Sir Knight,” said she, “with your chivalry
Will you ‘ear me plea o’ woe?
Me family’s got naught t’ eat
We could use your ‘help, by jove!”
Well the knight said:
“OH FUCK A TALKING DEMON SNAIL KILL IT”

LISH 2016 – Item 14 – Shake It Off Strings
Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off performed on one or more bowed string instruments (such as a cello, erhu, viola). The video doesn’t need to be particularly long, but the song should be identifiable.
