@Cha! I'm the guy who posted the goat selfie and nearly lost his hat in the process. If you saw that post, well, that's me. I even included the hastage "kittencorpsforlife" in the tweet.

@Catsassin... I did see your almost goat hat harakiri pic...thanks for your almost hat sacrifice! :)

Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-08T22:46:49-05:00
I have gone back through all of the photos that come up when I searched #Update9 back to GCoD's pic of the skeleton. I count 18 goat selfies not counting multiples of the same person with same or different goats (just in case).
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-08T22:48:18-05:00
That is 18 goat selfies that I believe satisfy the rules of the contest.
dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-08T22:50:27-05:00
I asked if the toy spidermen in a kayak were going to count and this was their replyreply:
@DaveTheQuack We love them, but we're really looking for living, breathing spidermen
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-08T22:52:12-05:00
Damn. Anyone out there have 5 children between the ages of 6 and 1 with spiderman costumes and a kayak? 'Cause I'm fresh out.
dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-08T22:53:59-05:00
This one is going to be tricky
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-08T22:55:27-05:00
I have a friend who extensively kayaks. e says no way you can fit five people in one, and knows of none made that seat more than two people. So we have a paradox it seems. Unless we recruit wee folk. Midgets?
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-08T22:56:55-05:00
At least I have the joy of knowing I'm the only one (so far) who has posted a pic with a real live (not real, not dead) skeleton and a cat. LOL
dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-08T22:57:00-05:00
I dont think it has to be in the waterwater so if we just gently sit on it it should count
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-08T22:57:02-05:00
Write back ask if they have a suggestion given physical realities and the average size of a kayak.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-08T22:59:04-05:00
Don't think so DtQ. The thing says "..in a kayak." Might not need to be in the water though.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-08T23:00:07-05:00
How goes it?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-08T23:00:44-05:00
Good evening everybody!
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-08T23:01:43-05:00
We may have a physical problem achieving the spiderman challenge. They want 5 real live spidermen in a kayak.
dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-08T23:02:16-05:00
I wrote back awaiting reply
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-08T23:02:23-05:00
How about a canoe?
Tony Lillios 2015-02-08T23:02:57-05:00
A quad kayak that I'm sure you could fit a 5th. :-)
So it looks like we have a chance to take down Purronica Mews!
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-08T23:03:18-05:00
Kayak. They were specific.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-08T23:03:53-05:00
Kayak is a pretty specific word. Maybe there is an out. Anyone know of a pub, bar, restaurant, something named "The Kayak"?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-08T23:03:56-05:00
Should have also said tomorrow! Doh!
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-08T23:04:57-05:00
5 Spider-Men in 5 kayaks next to each other, in same pic? Since it is seemingly physically impossible.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-08T23:05:27-05:00
$69K to Mars, according to Kicktrack we did about $50K so far today ...
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-08T23:05:32-05:00
Or 5 of them sticking their feet in kayak, standing up? (Not in water, obviously)
I'm really feeling it 2015-02-08T23:06:11-05:00
we're really killing it
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-08T23:06:12-05:00

Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-08T23:06:31-05:00
What about wrapped in a banner for the band Kayak? Longshot, I know ...
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-08T23:06:42-05:00
True, however things pick up during the work week, so I think it's doable.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-08T23:06:51-05:00
If anyone remembers Kayak, that is, they were from Holland if I recall.
StevePhy is totally "Jelitten"! 2015-02-08T23:07:26-05:00
I just thought of that Creeper. Standing in a kayak.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-08T23:07:51-05:00
I think if they all stick their foot in the kayak, it might be accepted...
dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-08T23:08:19-05:00
They wriwriterste back:
@DaveTheQuack We believe in you! ;)
You don't have to be completely inside of the kayak and can be on the boat more than in it as well.
Wesley H. 2015-02-08T23:08:24-05:00
Looking forward, will we able to get to $10 million for the final % funded achievement?
StevePhy is totally "Jelitten"! 2015-02-08T23:08:33-05:00
The kayak "could" be in water, maybe like a few inches. On shore.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-08T23:09:03-05:00
@Creeper, I was thinking I'm also happy I didn't miss 5,678,910, I can't wait to see that!
dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-08T23:09:07-05:00
So it's doable if we find 5 spiders and a kayak
StevePhy is totally "Jelitten"! 2015-02-08T23:09:45-05:00
Damn, why didn't they do this around Halloween? We could nail it no problem.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-08T23:10:57-05:00
@baKhan- if that happens in the middle of the night, I'll be severely disappointed
StevePhy is totally "Jelitten"! 2015-02-08T23:11:05-05:00
Anyone know the status of the W.B.H. photos? I was still going to work on that if needed.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-08T23:11:50-05:00
Jelitten- it seems like they may have enough.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-08T23:12:08-05:00
@Creeper, I'm pretty sure it won't be until closer to noon, but either way I'm sure someone will get a screen grab.

The challenge is specific. "..in a kayak." No water requirement.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-08T23:15:22-05:00
First, find kayak. 2nd, print off spiderman masks, have everyone wear blue and red. easy. I Live in NYC- so kayak is out for me.
dns12999 "Dave The Quack" 2015-02-08T23:15:55-05:00

I still say find a bar or pub called "The Kayak" ...
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-08T23:17:08-05:00
Again, and although it seems like I'm trying to funny, I'm not. We need someone with access to 5 children between the ages of 1 and 6 WITH their own spiderman costumes, and access to a two person kayak.

Aww... come on Melissa... take one for the team. Or maybe buy one, use it for a photo and return it for the team. :)
