VIDEO. (Time lapse this down to 20 seconds.) You and a friend must build and launch two dueling paper airplanes using only your mouths to build and launch them.
Category: Item Types
All item types. GISHWHES requires specific formats for item submissions, usually either videos or images.
Item 6 – Knee and Elbow Scooters
VIDEO. Design and operate electric or gas-powered “knee and elbow scooters.” When you wear them, they must glide you down the street on your knees and elbows only. The device must be at least four separate pieces – not one or two platforms that you’re lying on. You must wear a helmet or your item won’t be accepted.
Item 5 – Report Card Dramatic Reading
VIDEO. FELICIA DAY ITEM. Do a dramatic reading of your grade-school report card.
Behind the Scenes
Uncut version:
Item 4 – Belly and Bum Balloon Burst
VIDEO. Get 10 of your friends to stand on a field or lawn. Strap inflated balloons to 5 of your friends’ stomachs. The other 5 friends must pop these balloons using only the impact and weight of their bellies or their bums (they can’t use hands, feet, mouths, or anything sharp).
Item 3 – Kick Back in a Hammock
IMAGE. Kick back in a hammock that’s suspended from trees on opposite banks of a river. (Make sure it’s a safe section of a river to be suspended over.)
Item 2 – Change the World Overnight
IMAGE or VIDEO. Do the one thing that you think, if everyone did it, would change the world for the better overnight. Caption the image or video with what you’re doing.
We put a sign out captioned: “Scared of embarrassing yourself? Me too! Let’s face that fear together!” Then we shook it off.

GISHWHES 2014 Overview
Remember when two totally separate GISHWHES teams from opposite sides of the globe got mushed together into one and immediately became the best team?
I remember.
Music used:
I Fight Dragons – The Future Soon
I Fight Dragons – She’s Got Sorcery
Item 170 – Trolling Orlando Jones
IMAGE. Trolling for fish is when you drag your line slowly through the water hoping to fool a fish into snatching your bait. On your favorite social media site, create a new user. Your profile avatar will be a photo or drawing of Orlando Jones. Your user name will be evocative of “Orlando Jones.” Now, masquerading as Orlando Jones, troll for–and hook–at least 400 followers.
