#58 Build a snowman

Status: Mourning

It is my very sad duty to report the untimely passing of Oscar the Snowman. He was found decapitated early Monday morning.

Oscar lived a fulfilling life, which was tragically cut short this week. Well loved among humans and bunnies alike, Oscar braved sub-zero temperatures in the name of his profession: snowman.

He is survived by a handful of stones and a carrot.

#58 Build a snowman

Status: Snow complete!

A Guide to Building a Snowman
(Australian Edition)

Step 1: Find snow. Contrary to popular (Jackie's) belief, this does exist in Australia. Next, roll the snow into balls too large to lift, push or move anywhere.

Step 2: In spite of Step 1, place slightly smaller ball on top of slightly larger ball, ensuring your estimates of "smaller" and "larger" are accurate (as not shown below).

Step 3: Salvage snowman.

Step 4: Find a head. If a human one is not readily available, a head made of snow will suffice.

Step 5: Place stones on snowman for eyes, mouth and buttons, sticks for arms and beanie for warmth. Oh, and you should have bought a carrot for the nose earlier. Probably should have mentioned that at the start.

Step 6: Add a fashionable scarf and the illusion is complete!

Step 7: Love your snowman. And name him Oscar (or, if you desire, something else entirely).

Step 8: Take a photograph of a bunny rabbit (optional).
