June Scavenger Hunt (Week Three)

bunny · Post by **bunny** » Sat Jun 13, 2009 11:59 pm

Summer Reading Lists...Book Reports...Scooters...

Getting ideas? Let's put you and your scooter in a scene from a book...it doesn't have to be scooter/MC/two wheel related, just a scene from a book. Except this one has a twisty bonus at the end...read on my fellow scooterists!

+1 Scooter MUST be in the pic.
+5 Scooter in costume in the pic.
+2 You in the pic.
+5 You in costume in the pic.
+5 The book in the pic. *(Title MUST be visible)
+10 A supporting cast in costume in the pic.
+1 First pic.

And now for the twisty bonus:
DO NOT INCLUDE THE UNDERLINED TASK ABOVE. The twisty bonus is an "either/or NOT both" option.

+5 PM your book title to me.

If someone else PMs me the correct name of your book, they get 10 points and YOU get 20 bonus points. First correct PM gets the prize.

And BTW, *I'm* playing in this one...I will PM my book title to someone who is not playing and then let that person know who guessed my book title correctly.

Let's get to reading!

This hunt ends at MIDNIGHT Friday, June 19, 2009.

Friday? Don't keep us waiting. We can't compete against what we can't see

Or, as a wise man once said:
:needpics:

Nice picture, Orange Guy. You look to be leaning a little to the right, could the book possibly be this?

Crap. I thought I picked a tough one.

Seriously though, that's a nice picture. It's composed like what I see in my head before I go out and return with my usual crappy snapshots. How'd you do it?

Um ... Photoshop? My 8-year-old son took the pic and I cut it out to resemble the book as I remember it.

Photoshop?

Please reread the rules of scavenger hunts as so kindly posted by ScootLemont...

-Only one photo may be submitted by each member for each week’s subject. (but if you get a better pic later in the week, PLEASE edit your original post note that you posted a better pic and note in the newer post that it is a replacement for a previous pic.
-Old photos you have lying around can NOT be used- they must be NEW photos taken the week the photo subject was posted
-10 BONUS POINTS (good anytime all summer) for a photo of you getting a ticket (photo must include your scooter & a cop writing the ticket) only one of these may be submitted per player. (Thanks to kazoo for the suggestion)
(Edit – you don’t have to be REALLY getting a ticket… if you can get a cop to pose like he/she is writing you a ticket, that is good enough)
-No Photoshop submissions

OK, OK ... no photoshop.

Still 14 points?

It's all in your perspective. Image editing, for me, falls under Clarke's Third law of prediction. And I guess I need to use the 2nd.

Nice job, though, whatever the rules say.

+1 Scooter MUST be in the pic.
+5 Scooter in costume in the pic.
+2 You in the pic.
+5 You in costume in the pic.
+10 A supporting cast in costume in the pic.
+5 PM your book title to bunny

Total: 28

An easy one...I think.

Lastyearsyou · Post by **Lastyearsyou** » Fri Jun 19, 2009 10:58 pm

Oh.. SarahJ2001's is gooood. You beat me with the supporting cast

. Here's mine:

+1 Scooter MUST be in the pic.
+5 Scooter in costume in the pic.
+2 You in the pic.
+5 You in costume in the pic.
+1 First pic.
+5 PM the book title to Bunny.

19 points total... unless someone guesses which book.

Would anybody buy my argument that my scooter is in costume just by the very nature of its color?

bunny · Post by **bunny** » Sun Jun 21, 2009 1:36 pm

So my heart is heavy this morning. My camera was stolen, among other things Friday and I couldn't post my pic to play...que sera sera.

I am quite impressed with the reading! OrangeGuy's was hard to guess...SJ2001 and LYY Igot by looking at the picture and the details...and clever creativity!

So here's the lineup for this Hunt:

SarahJ2001 - 48 - Charlotte's Web
LastYearsYou - 38 - Seabiscuit
OrangeGuy - 34 - The Mouse and The Motorcycle

No one guessed OrangeGuy's book. And only one player participated in the guessing. In case YOU haven't guessed, OrangeGuy participated in the guessing and got an additional 20 points for guessing both books correctly.

The cumulative totals:

Howardr - 36
kjbuddy - 43
LastYearsYou - 38
OrangeGuy - 34
SarahJ2001 - 73
Syd - 3

C'mon, give the girl some competition!
