Making Pre-Industrial Objects

I have actually picked my own fruits and veggies several times recently... The most interesting has to be sneaking into a corn field to "borrow" some corn to make a costume out of. It had just rained so the corn field was absolutely disgusting! I definitely wore the wrong shoes. Anyways, it was hard to tell if the corn was even ready because I am not a farmer, but we decided to proceed into unknown territory. Oh ya did I mention we didn't have anything to get the corn off the stalk? Ya that was interesting... We basically had to break the corn off of the stalk by using our body weight, haha. Once we filled up our little baggy we ran like the wind. (We didn't know you could buy corn in the husk at the grocery store until after the fact.) We also didn't know corn had hair!

Ewwwww!

After we finally got the husks off, we came to find out that corn is juicy. Needless to say, cutting the corn off the of the cob was an interesting and messy experience. We ended up covering a bra in the corn to wear to a costume party. My friend went as the band Korn.
