Puzzle time: 1 August 2005 - 9 August 2005

[SSH]

The Rules:
Every week a post will be made with a list of items and a scenario. Using your wit, skill and large collection of 1950's Barbie dolls; find a way to complete the scenario with the items provided. You can only use a set number of items of your own choice. When I say use your skill, use it.

For example: you have a boulder and a reinforced window. I advise not using Pick Up boulder, chuck through window. Think of something adventuresque to use.

Voting: After the week-ish voting shall start.

What If I win?: you choose the next scenario and list of items. Then you post it for all the world to see.



Here is your quest: Capture the Great International Christmas Pudding!

Many years ago in the year 562 BC
The Great monumental International Christmas Pudding was struck by lightning which also struck a tree.
And the magnificent International Christmas Pudding atop a temple tall,
Was broken into two portions by the knock it received during the fall.
And oh, these portions had been carried to a far corner of the earth,
And this terrible disaster is not an occasion for mirth, and oh...


Yes, it was in 1843 that the discovery in the Sudan of a large fossilised fragment of this long forgotten pudding prompted a question in the House of Commons, "And the discovery of this portion of pudding prompts me to suggest that if all the portions, if all the portions of this emblem of international goodwill and understanding could be reassembled and set up in some appropriate spot it might well be the turning point in the falling prestige of this wonderful country of ours."

So, you are in charge of the expedition to the jungle to capture the last potion of Christmas pudding, which has turned man-eater and is roaming the forest of Ying-Tong-Iddle-I-Po.


Here are the only items you can use:

One knee-action, self-reciprocating Christmas Pudding gun.
One hand painted inflatable Christmas Pudding decoy with rubber hollow.
One portable plastic and gravel road.
One long bent thing with a sort of lump on the end.
One waterproof cover for same.
One same.
Thirty-three boxes of yellow kosher boots.
Another long bent thing with a sort of lump on the end.
One uncooked leather trilby with sugar feather.
One sixty foot explodable granite statue with built in plunger
Detailed plans of what to do with long bent thing with a sort of lump on the end.
One semi-circular grass telescope.
One  quarter pound of jelly babies.
One plate
One pudding cloth
One dish cover
One hypodermic syringe with Rabies vaccine


Have fun!

I hereby declare the puzzle competition dead. It was only Eggie and Ginny who used to enter regularly, anyway....

I don't think it sucked.
I think it was just too, err, imaginative.
Nice list of items!
