One spot has reopened to join us for the 2017 hunt! Fair warning, the application does call for two hunt-like items. Be prepared for a Widdery tea party and random act of kindness before you submit. -Wendigo (Ps. @yourhighnesselaina, we love you! Thanks for the gif of our trip to Costa Rica!)

Hello, I was curious as to if you will be accepting applications for the 2017 Gishwhes year? If so, would you be interested in having a highly motivated and competitive duo-team from Edmonton, Alberta: Canada, join your team? Please let me know :) Thanks!

@tattooedsloth Yes! We are currently accepting applications! They are open until the end of January, and there are two hunt-like items involved with the submission. Here’s the full link:

We're coming out of hibernation and ready to kick the year off with prepping for the Hunt! (Yes, it's super early since the hunt is in August, but c'mon, we GiSH all year round.) Just a reminder that applications are still open. At the end of January, we'll be closing it down to vote in new members, so get 'em in, folks! Also, keep your eyes peeled (wait, this is the weirdest idiom, right?!) for an upcoming announcement too!

Do you mind if I use your team photo for a lil project I'm working on with everyone's team photos?

I spoke with Bob and he was delighted you’d include us! We can’t wait to see the finished project.❤ Wendigo

Hey @allnyeong! Our application is up now 🎉

Hi Team Widdermacker! I'm wondering if it will ever be a opening spot for next year's hunt? I know it is too early to ask about next year but my eagerness is killing me :) I would LOVE to join and exert the utmost of my effort and creativity into the process. I'm from Vancouver, Canada.

Hello! Thanks for reaching out to us :) We’re all still basking in the post-hunt afterglow, but if we have any openings for the 2017 hunt, we’ll post it here and on our website.

Item 178: Make your own mouthwash.

[widdermacker]

Item 176:  Every year William Shatner hosts The Hollywood Horse show celebrating the unique and special work of therapeutic riding animals. http://www.horseshow.org/ It's about time your freeloader pet got a job and moved out. Show us their career trajectory by writing a formal resume highlighting their special skills and qualifications. Post it on LinkedIn. Get ten people to give a recommendation.

Item 175:  CHANGE A LIFE. We’ve created a Crowdrise page here https://www.crowdrise.com/change-a-life-khoulouds-story. The Gishwhes Item is to create a fundraising “page” for your team, where family, friends and others can donate. Since this is Gishwhes and there’s always an extra twist with everything we do, here’s the deal: we also want you to get OTHERS to donate to your team’s crowdrise page. We know you don’t need “points” as an incentive to help these families, but since it is part of the Hunt, we want to maximize the power of these points to help: start a page and try to get at least 10 donations from people or businesses NOT on your team. You and your team members are welcome to donate to your campaign, but that is not a requirement for points— the Item requirement is to get at least 10 people to make a cumulative total of least 10 donations who are NOT on your team. There is no minimum for these donations, but let’s please encourage others to be generous so we can make a profound impact. SUBMIT a screenshot of your team's page with a minimum of 10 donations on it. (To initially create a fundraising team, click the FUNDRAISE FOR THIS CAMPAIGN button.).

Item 174:  We here at gishwhes feel that it’s important to embrace A.I. because - let’s be honest - it just feels good. We also feel it’s important to be able to identify species other than our own when the time comes (soon) that aliens arrive (likely borough or splatter) on our planet. If we can’t make these differentiations, we put ourself at extreme risk of interstellar species misidentification (a plight none of us should be subjected to nor a party of). Accordingly, please treat this item and the ensuing exercise with the respect and devotion it deserves. You’ll also get points. So there’s that. If that’s still not enough, know that this is part of a legitimate research paper that will further scientific research methods worldwide. If it’s not clear, Gishwhes likes supporting science in addition to stormtrooper humiliation, weird food art, and global kindness. http://ubee.enseeiht.fr:8080/PartsSimilarity/home.html

Item 173:  You may have heard about a little show called Hamilton. Lin Manuel Miranda lit up Broadway with his innovative style, combining traditional theater and rap to engage delighted theater goers with the story of history’s hippest President. But that was just a big “win all the 2016 Tonys” ploy. We want to hear and see– in full costume a rap song about another historical figure important to you. Upload a 15 second video on the site AND send it to @Lin_Manuel.

Item 171:  Time to prove you are the person Mr. Rogers knew you were capable of becoming. Ask an overwhelmed mom or elderly neighbor for a list of five chores they could use some help with. Show us that list and you getting them all checked off.
