Aw shucks, ScootLemont, I was in NYC and just got back. Can't I join in on the fun and also come out about a stigmatized identity at the same time? I just marched in the NYC Pride parade with my partner, her sister (also gay) and her dad (totally gay), so I came back with a little extra courage. It's not easy to come out as a badminton player. A little compassion would help in this situation, right?ScootLemont wrote:sargelee71:

I vote it's a DQ, the rules say plain and simple no photoshop submissions, that includes ms paint. This isn't the first time he has been told about the rule.

I thought one of the reasons for this whole scavenger hunt was to get to know each other and see us with our scooters?
I think the "you in photo" points ought to be deducted for such tomfoolery.
I mean, if he's not going to show his face, that could be ANYBODY on that scooter.
And there's also that "no photoshop submissions" rule ...
Anyway, what's the logic behind practicing with pink footballs?
The intent of the no photoshop rule is so people dont try to fake photos or fill up the thread with ones they think are funny.ScooterTrash wrote: the rules say plain and simple no photoshop submissions, that includes ms paint.

and lots more in the town.
I dont know about you as the prop - but the shirt works as a prop in DCjsprandel wrote:….. and then I learned this structure was famous for procrastination.
Here’s a picture of my scooter and a historical landmark – 3 pts
I’m in the picture with my scooter – 2 pts
I’m the prop (a procrastinator – I waited until Thursday to post, after all, didn’t I?) - 3 pts
(or you can count the patriotic shirt I’m wearing as the prop instead if you want (the north won the struggle!)
8 pts!
Debbie hates you now that you rode across and ruined her lawn. The only thing you can do to repay her is scoot all over town with political signs.louie wrote:3 Points = Your Scooter with a Historical Marker, Historic Building, Historic Landmark, or a Statue
+ 2pts if you are in the photo with your scooter
+ 3pts if you are RIDING your scooter past the thing
+ 3pts for using a PROP
So 11 points.
this will take a moment to explain all the pieces. IT'S HISTORY, WITH THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE all roled into one good story.
this house is one of the first houses built in Springville, AL in 1895 by it's original owner, Mr. Brooks.
It belongs to my oldest friend, i've known her since kindergarten some 45 years. wow.
She and her husband have worked daily for 12 years to make this one of the finest homes in the ever growing town (subdivisions going up everyway) about 30 miles north of Birmingham.
the son of the original builder was born in this house and lived in the house next door. he died a couple of years ago.
the mayor's brother bought the house next door when Mr. Brooks (jr) died. the man wanted to make an industrial yard out of it to match the one he has illigally built across the hill behind the houses. AND he wanted to cut out the hill to connect the two.
Long hard fought story short my friends are now quite involved with local politics.
One of the friends they've made is the woman who chairs the local historic society. Debbie would much more enjoy being in that group than having to fight for her community's life.
but because of this fight to save their home they have their house on the historic registry=3 points,
are compaigning for another mayor=Prop=3 points,
because the mayor's brother et. al., can bring this zoning vote up again next year.
Extra info includes: the mayor's brother also owns the house on the other side of Debbie
The mayor's family owns Homestead Hollow, home of 4 of the largest crafts' festivals in Alabama( http://www.homesteadhollow.com/main.html ). the chair of the historic society has worked the festivals since its beginning. Since she opposed turning parts of historic Springville into an industrial park she is no longer welcome to enjoy working the festival. She was obviously greatly hurt by the action.
the good news is it doesn't look like the mayor will even run again. the election is in August and his adversaries have been extremely delegent in watching their every move and in opening the eyes of the rest of the town.
Debbie's been a hero of mine for most of my life, now she's just added more reason.
Can you say Witsec?Christy wrote:I totally know that this has been addressed already but SYD, instead of photoshopping out your head, just put your FF Helmet on...which we know you have because it was sitting on your scooter in last weeks submission. Easy fix and then you don't have to skirt the photoshop rule OR have you face on the internet.
We were going to use an old little table as a prop but when i saw the sign in her yard we knew we had the best prop. who do you think took the picture? besides the buddy's way too smooth to do a thing like that. she did suggest i take a ride around town though. i might still do that if she really wants me to.sotied wrote:Debbie hates you now that you rode across and ruined her lawn.

) ... but I live in a beautiful historic city. My first idea fell through, but here goes this.From page 142 of the book I'm holding "The Call of the Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories":
thin, dark young man of neurotic and excited aspect.... The youngest son of an excellent family...who had latterly been studying sculpture at the Rhode Island School of Design and living alone at the Fleur-de-Lys Building near that institution. Wilcox was a precocious youth of known genius but great eccentricity, and had from chidhood excited attention through the strange stories and odd dreams he was in the habit of relating. He called himself "psychically hypersensitive", but the staid folk of the ancient commercial city dismissed him as merely "queer".

+3 for historic building
+2 for being in the pic
+3 for riding my scoot (down a crazy hill!)
+3 for prop of Penguin book (left hand....don't do this at home)
= 11
