not too long ago, some little local punks smashed many of the windows in the outbuildings at oak knoll. they were never caught and forced to do hard labor as i hoped they would be, and it seems like they might have returned to the nature center to wreak a bit more havoc. this time, they have gotten creative.
the front door looked much the same as the barn windows, except the two-pane safety glass stayed more or less in place. note the small rock located right in front of the door. i was hoping the cops would take that baby in for fingerprinting, but they didn't want it.
so door number one was bad, and then when you look just to your left, it seems like door #2 had it worse. it appears as if we aren't the only ones who think of it as "door #2" if you get what i'm saying.
what i'm saying is it looked like someone pooped on the door. but it turns out, they didn't. they just opened a can of progresso lentil soup and threw it everywhere.
it also looks like they threw a few other things at the building- not sure exactly what they were hoping to accomplish by hurling a small can of peaches at the door, but clearly they attempted to do something with them.
the things they threw just get more bizarre- the last two? an opened bar of irish spring soap, and...
you know what? i'm not going to tell you what the last thing was. you go ahead and try to guess and i will pay you forty dollars if you figure it out before monday. $40. cash. via paypal. all you need to do is guess the final item that someone threw at oak knoll (not counting the eggs and the banana peel). good luck.
and matt can't guess because he already knows.

Hmmm...let's see. Beans, peaches, Irish soap. If I guess correctly will I be taken in immediately for questioning? I will guess a non-food item...something along the line of shoes maybe??
you're correct in thinking non-food, not correct in thinking shoes.
you're also correct in thinking that if you do guess it exactly right, i will be very suspicious.
Well, seeing as you didn't limit the number of guesses and you did provide me with a clue and I could use 40 bucks, I will guess again. Might it be...razors...like the kind you shave with?
I'm going to go with deodorant - kinda in line with the soap and a little bit quirky.
BTW, is it time for some kind of surveillance camera?
The final item was a human thumb.
A roll of toilet paper?
no one is even close yet. you can submit more guesses and i can start giving more hints- that's how confident i am that no one will get it right.
hint: it was not a personal care product.
hint: it was not a body part. and that's gross.
Was it a copy of this book?
it was not that nor any other "educational" item but that's the closest anyone has gotten yet.
How about an Atari game system with the Frogger cartridge still in it?
excellent guess but no. however, it is somewhat on the right track, especially when you think of outdated technology.
This is fun.
It wasn't one of these was it?
An abacus or motor oil?
jim- it was entertainment-related. i would have been totally psyched to get a copy of john denver's greatest hits- or i guess i should say, a second copy.
and jen- think a little more recent and not quite as helpful as an abacus.
was it Simon Says? batteries included, tho dead.
So let's see - outdated technology, entertainment-related, kinda like a book, but not educational nor as useful as an abacus.
I got it! People Magazine.
(or Playboy, but I'm assuming the vandals were teenage boys, so they would never leave this behind. besides, you said the item was not educational)
An 8 Track tape of "Afternoon Delight" by the Starland Vocal Band?
i feel like greg should get some sort of consolation prize for the closest guess
Life is one big consolation prize for me Slack.....
You would have been lucky to have scored a copy of Afternoon Delight
