robert bourne — Technically, you’re out. You guessed very specifically May 3 at 8:12am, as though you were planning something, but missed your opportunity? Were you thinking of launching one of your donut wars on it?

Corrina — Ah, slim chance. But your guess is duly noted. Keep checkin’ the Tracker box in the upper corner. It’s updated daily.

Right time to train up my flying monkeys to get that bag out of the tree on the morning of June 8th – competative moi?

Don’t bother with directions they’ll find it – assuming that they don’t come back with a girl with ruby slippers – AGAIN!!!!!!!!

Regan — Your separate comments killed me. Everyone, Regan is my niece, who is aware of a joke in our family. When I was a kid, for some reason I was thrilled to have a birthday that fell on the last day of a month. So I went around pronouncing “My birthday’s the last day!” I’d never say what month, much to the annoyance of my older siblings, who would always follow up with “…of August.” So, Regan, thanks for being a wisenheimer.

tfa — You’re in for June 8th. Doesn’t it look sad flapping in the wind? Kind of poetic. I think the tree will be fine. It’s a relatively new tree (less than 20 years old), so it’s healthy. If something terrible happens, I’ll deal with the contest rules and ramifications later. This is fast-becoming one of my favorite stories. Who would have thought?

JD at I Do Things — You know, if they told me they’d put me on one of those bucket ladder thingies to get it out, I think I’d do it. And film it. Anything for you guys!

Mizmell — I’m proud, too. But I do slip up maybe twice a year when I need something that my regular stores don’t sell. It pains me to go in there. You are to be commended.

I am proud to say “I do not shop at Walmart.”

Though on a more serious point I never thought I would ever watch a video of a bag in tree.

Oh and what happens if someone chops the tree down? Or some over mishap occurs, like the tree being struck by lightening? In which the back remains technically in the tree buyt on the ground – if you see what I mean.

Not that I am taking this too seriously or anything.

cardiogirl — Occasionally I’ll see it fully-inflated. That’s when I can tell it’s really got a good grip. Well, I hope at least the birds are enjoying, cuz we’re sure not!

Jay — Sure, you’re in! There’s a chance I could get someone to pull it out because they just erected a tent for an event this weekend. The machine used to put it up could probably be used to get the bag out. If I asked for it to come down, that would mess up the contest. I never said I would help it down. But part of me really wants to get it out NOW! What to do?

BabaBooey — I’d feel good about November, too. You mean this year or next? Oh, man. If the bag moves to another branch (entirely possible), I will consider the contest still on. I do wonder sometimes whether this will happen, you know, because I’m losing sleep over things like this.

Jenn Thorson — You guessed May 15, so you have some time. I love that seeing plastic bags makes you think of Crazy Kathy. So flattered!

Jaffer — You’d think, but guess what? The other day it looked like it was filled with about two cups of water. Something was in it, and it’s gone now, so it must have been rain. It didn’t do a thing to it, except clean it out.

damon — You’re gonna need a freak wind. Regular wind won’t help. Trust me.

Bruce — I’m wondering how well I’ll be able to photograph the bag in the summer when the leaves are totally filled out. I guess I’ll take one a month from the same position. What’s that saying “I couldn’t see the bag for the leaves?”

Maureen — Oh, that’s so great about the radio stations. See, it really is something that bugs people. If they do it every Earth Day, you have to get yourself on the list. It would be the highlight of my day if one of you guys came here and arranged to have it taken down. It’d be a kick to meet you that way.

Augusto — It would almost have to be a storm that takes the whole tree down. Although if I came to work and saw the tree in ruins, I’d probably blame Jeff.

Amy Cates — Oh, geez. Please do take a picture if you think of it and send it to me. You’ve got me so curious! How can nobody want it down???

Swubird — Ah, I see your date has come and gone. Don’t get us started on Wal-mart. I think my sister ann of the shampoo bag is still boycotting them.

Dang! I really thought I had this sucker wired. What a let down. It’s a tenacious little bag isn’t it? You know, I don’t even like WalMart, so I hope the old bag rots up there in that tree.

Have a nice windy day.
