• ASSCAT Aftermath

  2011 Saw the very first ASSCAT and I was (although not a big winner) a very happy participant.

  And since it has now come to an end I thought I’d share what I took from this epic challenge.

  I’ve laughed, I’ve Cried, I’ve almost died from Slushee induced Hypothermia but I’ve also loved learned and lived more in the past few weeks than ever before….well maybe not quite that far but you get my point ;P
  To finish the 11 challenges I managed to complete I have had to skip work, miss sleep and walk for miles. I’ve met at least 5 (probably more) new awesome Xangans and in the end have a handsome pile of eprops to show for my troubles.

  But what individual lessons have I gained from the ASSCAT’s and their challenges?

  Well from Alex/Flip @FlipGuy31O
  I learned That deep down despite not having the opportunity I too have the desire and ability to abuse works of public art
  He also taught me that LipSynching is harder than it looks, and allowed our dear Pika_Whoosh to finally express himself and get something important out of the closet off his chest

  Sonlay @Sonychak
  From Sonlay I discovered that taking random videos of Junk is a lot harder than it looks and should be left to the masters. And That Slushees are available in the UK but they are tiny and absolutely no fun to drink in the rain.

  Shawn @Junbelievable08
  Shawn Gave me many important lessons, first being that I need to add some epicosity to my meals, since I was unable to take a photo for his first challenge, and second that I need to get drunk more often lol
  But his most important gift was not related to the ASSCAT and was the mysterious secret of Korean Drama Hair.

  Chris @Cakalusa
  Chris Was the first person to ask me to plank so disturbingly he took my Planking Virginity :S and so will always hold a special place in my heart. ;P
  He also highlighted the fact I have not talent…so really what more can I say but thanks Chris :S

  Alex @Roadlesstaken
  Alex with his boyish charms stole all our hearts away by offering to visit if we could but only tempt him.
  And also unlocked my inner Swagger, thus allowing me to realise that I’m going to be fine without him lol

  Timmy @Timmmmmmy
  And last but by no means least Timmy Not only got me to introduce myself but introduced himself too.
  He also managed to pick the only challenge that was even vaguely in my wheelhouse by asking for ASSCAT art…even though we all know he was just getting free work done for his secret ASSCAT e-shop and merchandise line

  So as you can see much was learned and we are all better people for it
  I’d like to join in with Pika_Whoosh the glorious winner of ASSCAT2011 in saying a massive THANKYOU to the ASSCATS for doing this, it must have been a lot of work and time and it really was lots of fun and very cool so thanks guys you make Xanga more awesome everyday!

  And now as a special treat from everyone who watched my submissions, voted for me or just were involved in the challenge in any way shape or form here’s a video of OutTakes from a couple of my challenges

  This post was supposed to be up so as to more neatly arrive close to the end of the challenge, but due to Xangas video que and my lack of free time to use a youtube alternative it was a bit held back. After this i might even post something none ASSCAT related for once
