Operation: Bad Shepherd

In today’s LRR video, “Magicland”, the Li’l Warriors make an appearance and many “squee!” and “chortle!” and “high-larious!” moments are had.

At the end of the Li’l Warriors segment, Krull suggests that there are a variety of interesting things that can be done with the severed head of a sheep. Unfortunately, Magicland’s oh-so-stingy producers got to the footage before it went to air, and they cut Krull off before he could communicate his ideas.

But cutesy, knitted, hardcore, supernatural, medieval villains aren’t the only creative people in the world. The Aztecs were also very clever, as are the Dutch.

Runners, we can’t let these groups get ahead of us in the technological sheep’s head arms race! If you have an idea for what a sheep’s severed head could be used for, let us know!

Send your ideas to operations@loadingreadyrunners.com! Be sure to include your forum name so you can be rewarded if your idea is chosen as the most creative, and so that you can be added to the ranks of the Runners if you aren’t already a member.

Submissions close on September 4, 2009, at midnight PST.

Operation: Accomplished Accomplice Results

Operation: Accomplished Accomplice drew some pretty diverse submissions, but in the end we decided to award the victory to:

Luinie

The thing that really made her entry stand out was the use of a pot lid as a weapon, which is a reference to the LoadingReadyRumble.

We also wanted to offer a Runners-Up designation to Mad Madam Mimm, who provided a short ventriloquism video on the Accomplice theme. Rather than posting the video there, I thought I’d link to her YouTube channel.

Here are the submitted photos:

Thanks for participating, everyone!

Operation: Fill in the Lobster

It’s fun to reinterpret things, isn’t? Taking something that was used in one way and doing something entirely different with it is one of the great triumphs of the human creative mind! Or at least, that’s what my mom told me after I showed her the Sock Hat I made once…

We want you to do something along the same lines. Jer threw together a comic strip-style page using screenshots from the LRR video “Ways to Stay Awake”, and it’s up to you to fill in the blanks!

Here’s the image:
