This week, I did a creative exercise found in the book "CAFFEINE FOR THE CREATIVE MIND" by Stefan Mumaw and Wendy Lee Oldfield. The exercise is on page 20 and is titled "Pimp My Red Flyer."

Instructions: "MTV has a ton of original programming these days. One of the successful shows is called "Pimp My Ride," where the hosts take an otherwise ordinary vehicle and "pimp it out" by re-engineering it to create a luxurious, often urban-inspired mobile transit device. Complete with all the fixin's, these new vehicles keep some characteristics of the original, and in most cases, the result is quite extraordinary. Although some of the original vehicles are rather run-down and plain, none are as simple as, say, a common red wagon. Your task today is to "Pimp My Wagon." Take an ordinary red wagon, a simple toy that most children love, and "pimp it out" with whatever luxuries and additions you can think of. Create your ultimate urban-inspired, pimped-out wagon."

I came up with the "Ultimate Tailgate Party Wagon," complete with a mini fridge, propane tank and grill, flat screen TV and a solar panel to provide power.
