Last year's "EXTRA CREDIT" props included duct tape, Super Soakers, and the number 7. Anything you wanna see this year, HUMPers? Writing this thing up now, so... need to hear from you ASAP.

EDS. UPDATE: Dates, submission guidelines, and all that for HUMP! 2012 are now over here!

Romney, Cory Booker, Chihuly garden and glass...

The Book of Mormon. (The actual one, not posters for the musical.)

Posted by Matt from Denver on May 15, 2012 at 11:56 AM

Not sure about what props to use, but if you're doing a location this year it should be Bauhaus Coffee.

Posted by defman23 on May 15, 2012 at 11:56 AM

Sweater vests.

Ya'll know what I'm talking about.

Bristol Palin, rainbows, fish sticks

Less irony.

@6 OMG yes. Another vote for Sweater vests.

Bottle(s) of Shlitz!

Second Bristol Palin. And how about a lab coat or two? Because, science!

"Gay" halos.

The location: The Bellevue Mormon Temple

Posted by pragmatic on May 15, 2012 at 12:23 PM

Pickled okra. "Billy Bob" teeth. Red Vines (or Twizzler's).

Posted by camlux on May 15, 2012 at 12:36 PM

I would like to not have five postings about HUMP in the Slog RSS feed per day this year. It is not relevant to my interests.

Posted by ohnoezmahbeeeeer on May 15, 2012 at 12:40 PM

@16 - science, yes! There's my vote!

Posted by brains on May 15, 2012 at 12:40 PM

Fancy hats. Like, Derby crazy, Will & Kate wedding crazy, hats.

I was going to say a fixie bicycle, but those are kinda played out.

A wicker picnic basket!

@22 Ooh, yeah. On the gents as well as the ladies.

Which makes me think, too bad the Derby's already over for the year. But there are other horse races. Like the one involving Mitt Romney... Whoa there, brain.

I'd say Santorum but I wouldn't want to clear the theater

Posted by metardtard on May 15, 2012 at 1:33 PM

Have you ever seen the show "Chopped"? It's on the food network, I believe. There are 4 completely random food items given to contestants and they have to make a meal from it (and it can't taste like shit.) It'd be funny if there was a similar competition for HUMP!. Four random items, the one who can use them all and make an awesome vid wins!

My vote? Candy necklace, roller skates, tye dye, glow in the dark body paint.

My special request for HUMP is that you take it on the road this year and have a special screening in San Francisco. The Castro Theatre is very lovely and very accommodating -- I'm sure you'd sell out very quickly.

3D IMAX?

Merkins! Jesus Dildo! Franklin Mint Commemorative Princess Diana Plates!

Puppets! Seriously, it'll be hilarious.

Posted by muffin on May 15, 2012 at 3:25 PM

Musical instruments! (so not guitars...) Or inflatable objects.

Posted by JRob on May 15, 2012 at 3:59 PM

A fez! The letter Q! One of those air tube dudes that flop around!

@36 YES. I 2nd bringing it down to San Francisco! Please please please???

Sweater vests, rubber duckies, and etch-a-sketches.

Posted by tinkerbell on May 15, 2012 at 4:55 PM

@38: Yes, yes, yes!

Homer: (singing) "If you're happy and you know it say a swear..."
Nelson: "Boobs!"
Milhouse: "Heinie!"
Ralph Wiggum: "Mittens!"

Posted by saxfanatic on May 15, 2012 at 6:31 PM

I'm with @36 - As a long time fan of all things Savage, I'd like this in San Francisco! It could even be a road show in major cities (although the selfish me just cares about SF :) )

Avengers costumes?

A San Francisco screening.

Posted by JohnnyMission on May 16, 2012 at 10:41 AM

An homage to the end of DADT.

Posted by JohnnyMission on May 16, 2012 at 10:44 AM

I second @28!
How about a ferry (Washington State transportation kind)?
The SLUT video a few years back was AWESOME, I think a ferry video would go over very well too!

Posted by Lose-Lose on May 16, 2012 at 10:48 AM

can't tell you what i'd like to see, but attempting one deflowering a 20 year old virgin boy from utah. it will be super hot.

Posted by rachelsn on May 16, 2012 at 11:40 AM

A slinky. A pressure washer. A unicycle. A nun. A freight elevator. And I agree with silly string. And merkins.
