The United Way
Car Rally
Scavenger Hunt


November 20, 1999
Toronto, Canada
11am - 5pm



This was a charity event organized by the Fishstick and a couple of my co-workers at the ad agency where I work, in support of the United Way. Among many other things, my job was to come up with a list of 100 items for the hunt participants to try and find throughout the city and beyond (props to the University of Chicago's scavenger hunt list, but most of this mayhem is of my own evil doing). I have posted the photos of the winning team on the left for you to admire and be agog at their ingenuity. Below, of course, is the list, so you can admire and be agog at MY ingenuity. Ha ha! Anyway, at the end of the day, after all the points were tallied, all the prizes were given out, and the macrame and double headed dildo was passed 'round, almost a thousand dollars was raised for the cause.
