[Syd]

Anyone else feeling less than enthusiastic about this one?

I got first post points. I'm STOKED!

(Of course, unless next week's Hunt is a picture of your niece's scoot with bonus points for each mile away from the US, I'm probably out of luck next week)

[Orange Guy]

Oooooooh, sailortot, that's a good one.

[ScootLemont]

Glad to see the pics are coming in - I was getting worried
anyway... next week wont be quite so hard
I have been trying to alternate between more & less difficult weeks.
FYI - I will try to get my pic (with a river) tomorrow - but it has been a busy week

[sailortot]

Oooooooh, sailortot, that's a good one.

thank you, sir.

[Orange Guy]

FYI - I will try to get my pic (with a river) tomorrow - but it has been a busy week

Ditto for me.

Different river, though.

[polianarchy]

Sharks live in the ocean, right?

[brape]

I think i need to rassle up my family tonight and get my pic together.

[ScootLemont]

Shoot - I was just about to run out... BIG storm blowing in right now
crap!

[MikieTaps]

i would just like to comment...

you guys are all NUTS! I love all these crazy pictures people are getting! I commend all of you! I am not buddy enough to get these pictures.

[Syd]

Wow, polianarchy, I didn't know I had family in PA

[ScootLemont]

Sharks live in the ocean, right?

Hey... save that for The Scavenger Hunt Myth Busters Week

[brape]

Sharks live in the ocean, right?

Hey... save that for The Scavenger Hunt Myth Busters Week

there should be a photoshop week

[Christy]

this week is making new leaders...or extending the lead our current leaders have for sure.

not that I'm complaining. I've not worked as hard as they have for their pictures on any of the weeks.

I will try to get the buddy in the backyard for a poolside pic today...I'm overly lazy this week.

[brape]

I'm a little disapointed that my bastard brother disapeared for the day and couldn't join us. The surf board is leaned up agains theh guard stand. and i didn't realize until just now that i couldn't get points for the suit and the shirt so I only counted the shirt. If anyone wants to scrutinize the full size is here.

Do I get extra credit for having 2 states in the pic?? Standing on the MN side of the St Croix River, WI in the background.... and as far as my fish on the line - its a fillet, its real, and it was caught in the St Croix... last week...

[sotied]

Here's me and my scooter at the beach.

Photos are for Modern Buddy's ongoing photo scavenger hunt.

Enjoy!

<a href="http://bowlofcheese.com/wp-content/uplo ... .jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1302" title="nantasket1" src="http://bowlofcheese.com/wp-content/uplo ... asket1.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></a>

Scooter at Nantasket Beach in Hull. You can see the sand and the beach.

<a href="http://bowlofcheese.com/wp-content/uplo ... .jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1310" title="nantasketguards" src="http://bowlofcheese.com/wp-content/uplo ... guards.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></a>

Those people are life guards. They said they couldn't come any closer to pose with Scootle because they had to save lives.

<a href="http://bowlofcheese.com/wp-content/uplo ... .jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1309" title="northbeach" src="http://bowlofcheese.com/wp-content/uplo ... hbeach.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></a>

So I left the beach in Hull and went to the beach down the street. AFTER putting on a Hawaiian shirt and getting some inflatable toys and some fish.

This photo was dark, but the following photos are better - including a dupe of this shot that I lightened up.

<a href="http://bowlofcheese.com/wp-content/uplo ... .jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1303" title="northbeachbetter" src="http://bowlofcheese.com/wp-content/uplo ... better.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></a>

Lighter. You can see my shirt (sun is setting behind me so that's why the lighting problem) and you can see the tiny inflatable toys on the seat along with the fish. Photos coming as proof. Along with photos of my tracks IN the sand. 220lbs PLUS my weight made Scootle want to burrow to the bottom of the beach.

Finally, you'll also see proof that I was at a beach (see the trash can beside me?) - that's the proof. You'll understand in a minute.
<a href="http://bowlofcheese.com/wp-content/uplo ... .jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1308" title="shirtevidence" src="http://bowlofcheese.com/wp-content/uplo ... idence.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></a>

There's my shirt.

<a href="http://bowlofcheese.com/wp-content/uplo ... .jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1305" title="northbeachparts" src="http://bowlofcheese.com/wp-content/uplo ... hparts.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></a>

There's a closer Scootle shot with my tracks visible in the sand behind her and the toys and fish on the seat.

<a href="http://bowlofcheese.com/wp-content/uplo ... .jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1301" title="inflatables-evidence" src="http://bowlofcheese.com/wp-content/uplo ... idence.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></a>

Here are four inflatable ducks and my camera case and the fish...to be explained in a second.

<a href="http://bowlofcheese.com/wp-content/uplo ... .jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1307" title="fish-evidence" src="http://bowlofcheese.com/wp-content/uplo ... idence.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></a>

Here is my fish at the beach. AND the best part is you can play GO FISH with these cards. Maybe I should get dual points for these.

<a href="http://bowlofcheese.com/wp-content/uplo ... .jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1306" title="beach-evidence" src="http://bowlofcheese.com/wp-content/uplo ... idence.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></a>

That's the garbage can. Clearly says BEACH.

<a href="http://bowlofcheese.com/wp-content/uplo ... .jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1304" title="beach-tracks" src="http://bowlofcheese.com/wp-content/uplo ... tracks.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></a>

And here is my track across the beach and back up. Going down is the far track. Easy to go all the way down and then it got deep and wet. So I turned around and had to paddle with my feet to get back up the beach.

How's all that?

That means I get......

+3 Water
+5 Beach
+1 Hawaiian Shirt
+4 Inflatable beach toys
+3 for the fish

I get a grand total of 16 this week. So hard and embarrassing to get people to pose in swimwear with your scoot.

GOOD game this week!

its no 34 or whatever the max was, but who cares. it was fun getting everyone together.

i only see one person posing in a bathing suit. the rest have clothes on as far as i can tell.

[ScootLemont]

Really? The ducks are INFLATABLE beach toy / raft / ball
Can you please post a pic of you blowing (up) one of the ducks?
I will leave the "fish" comments for the rest of the group
Thanks for playing this week!

[KRUSTYburger]

Well, thunderstorms and a busy work week have blown my one chance for big points...
It was still raining, but I pulled together all the points I could muster and this is the result:



+3 : scoot with body of water
+2 : fishing pole in pic
+3 : fish on the line
+5 : at the actual beach
+2 : two peeps in Hawaiian shirts
+2 : two inflatable floaties
----
17 TOTAL POINTS!!!

It is a lame photo, but at least we are enthusiastic! I'm satisfied with
the result considering not too many people played this week. We blew
up that kiddie float like 2 minutes before I took this and it still deflated.

BTW, sailortot: that looks more like a BOOGIEboard than an actual SURFboard,
I'm not really buyin' it until I see some EVIDENCE!!! Like at least a fin or something...
If we could've used boogieboards I would've gotten a lot more points.

[KRUSTYburger]

+3pts if there is a fish on the fishing line or on a stringer

Those are cool cards, but I don't think sushi playing cards count as fake fish, plus they aren't on the fishing line or a stringer. Not too sure rubber duckies count as inflatable beach toys either... sorry.

[brape]

I agree on that one too, if the board isn't long enough to be seen with all those toes its probobly not a surf board.

[ScootLemont]

Ok.. I am not sure who is kidding & who is not....
"short boards" are around 5ft long - aloha
and I still want to see sotied blow his duck, I mean blow up his ducks

Okay, it just doesn't APPEAR to be a surfboard (even a short one). Looks more like the bottom of a knee board or something... Anyways, it's no biggie, I don't care if you give her the point, I's just sayin'...

+1 on the duck blowing... sorry brape, I think that's a fail.

[sotied]

OK. Sushi isn't on a string, but you said fake fish were OK. And who uses string to catch sushi? I use chopsticks. I have deducted the 3 points for the fish.

As for the INFLATABLE ducks, here are some images for you...







So 13 POINTS again this week.

At least I didn't pretend the lifeguards were in my photo or that a surfboard all the way in California counted or that my sister's sundress was a bathing suit.

AND I drove on the sand of the beach. Only Syd - if that's his real name - came closer by almost dunking his scoot in the pool. I still don't know if the right side of his center stand was on anything or if it was hovering over the water like David Copperfield.

[Orange Guy]

3pts for your scooter with a River, Lake, Ocean, Stream, Creek, Canal, Pond, or Swimming Pool
+1pt for each (up to 5) person posing with your scooter that is wearing a swimsuit.
Maximum points for this category is 5!
+1pt for each (up to 5) INFLATABLE beach toy / raft / ball that is within 20ft of your scooter

Yippee! I managed to scrape together a whole 13 points.





Still mad at myself for forgetting the fishing pole. Idiot!

[ScootLemont]

sotied - I am LMAO!
but 9 points for you!

Anyway... my favorite "part" of a pic this week is this:

[sailortot]

the bathing suit tops are in plain view. we are just wearing tank tops/tube tops over them. and there is a guy in board shorts. and the little girl has a bathing suit on which you can see the top of.

im not one to cheat...i read the rules thoroughly every week.

the board is, in fact, a surf board. we borrowed it from a resident who is staying in one of our executive suites temporarily. i dont actually own any kind of board, myself. i couldnt tell you the difference between a long board or short board or anything...im from OKLAHOMA. haha. the guy with the board is not from here. if he owned a surfboard and lived in ok full-time, well, that would be ridiculous and i would send him to stay in the psych ward.

[Orange Guy]

At least I didn't pretend the lifeguards were in my photo or that a surfboard all the way in California counted or that my sister's sundress was a bathing suit.

And I vote for him getting the inflatable points. Granted, they're not inflatable in the traditional sense ... but anyone willing to blow a green duck online (1 guy, 1 duck?) should get something.

[sailortot]

3pts for your scooter with a River, Lake, Ocean, Stream, Creek, Canal, Pond, or Swimming Pool

orangeguy...its clear that the entire group are in swimsuits. i think you should get the points for it. just my 2 cents.

I commented on the bathhing suits. I do feel like it is cheating as they are not wearing bathing suits they are wearing clothes over their bathing suits and i think that it is not at all the same thing.

[sailortot]

and brape...i dont see any kind of board at all in the full size picture. can someone point it out for me?

brape, you have got to be kidding me. i had girls. the girls i know are pretty modest and not quite into showing a lot of skin. olivemusic did the same thing this week. and i think its fine.

[brape]

i'm not kidding. I tried to get people to pose in bathing suits and they said no so i didn't get any points. Same goes for the one girl with the shirt and shorts for olive, i just didn't notice that one. Now i'm going to walk away.

[ScootLemont]

Really... I have to be the voice of reason? (me?)
are they in swimming suites? yes
are they posing with the scooter? yes
is that what I was hoping for? no
is it close enough to get the points? yes
Its a good pic & she put in the effort.
For tomorrow's hunt, I will do my best to keep it fun but at the same time, not leave any gray areas. It will also be one that everyone should be able to get (I am pretty sure)
I realize this week was hard for a lot of people - I didnt get in myself.
Thanks to EVERYONE for playing (except sotied )

Everyone just relax & have FUN with this

i think thats a load of crap. i feel like every week i wind up getting screwed by trying to follow the rules and post in the spirit of the game.

[Orange Guy]

and brape...i dont see any kind of board at all in the full size picture. can someone point it out for me?

I agree. If anything, there's one of those lifeguard rescue boards ... but I'm not even sure of that.

I think it's a bit funny that someone raising a fuss over what is and isn't a swimsuit would try to snag points for a nearly invisible surfboard.

they counted a rescue board in an earlier one. i post full sized links that it is more visible in. whatever i'm done with this game.

[sailortot]

[brape]

b athing suits don't count if the person is wearing a hawaiian shirt.

[Christy]

3pts for your scooter with a River, Lake, Ocean, Stream, Creek, Canal, Pond, or Swimming Pool

it's called Big Lake Park and this is Big Lake. It's silly to me because it is, in no way big or a lake. it's clearly a creek, but I didn't name it. LOL

[BiscuitHead]

No points for BiscuitHead this week. Scoot's been in the shop all week. Bummer! Had 10 people lined up and 5 inflatable toys inflated for the photo. Just no scooter. Oh well... there's always next week.

I think every picture has been great and everyone deserves full points! Points are on the house!

[Orange Guy]

but whatever, maybe im out. people take this way too seriously for it to continue to be fun.

Oh no you don't ... I'm gunning for you and really thought this would be my week. You quit now and my eventual victory would mean nothing.


brape ... don't drop out either. The spirit of the game is seeing the pics. Points aren't worth anything except bragging rights.

[sailortot]

b athing suits don't count if the person is wearing a hawaiian shirt.

i didnt count the people with hawaiian shirts's swimsuits. i ONLY counted the others.

lets do some math...
there are ten people in the picture. if five people are wearing hawaiian shirts and there are also seven people in bathing suits....how many people are wearing both a hawaiian shirt AND a bathing suit? and how many are wearing swimsuit and no hawaiian shirt?

[Orange Guy]

3pts for your scooter with a River, Lake, Ocean, Stream, Creek, Canal, Pond, or Swimming Pool

And the model posts a pic without her in a swimming suit? I thought that was a no-brainer.

[bscjake]

and brape...i dont see any kind of board at all in the full size picture. can someone point it out for me?

wow.. you sound like a little princess now.. if you're going to dispute her board then prove that yours is an actual surfboard.. looks like a foam boogie board to me... mostly cuz it's BLACK.. surfboards are generally WHITE

also the little girl could be wearing anything she's all hidden behind the scooter. sorry but if you can't believe someone else then no one should believe you either.

that's cuz you bend the rules and do as little as possible for it to count. lame
