WorldWide Scooter Tag

Cheshire · Post by **Cheshire** » Wed Mar 10, 2010 7:27 pm

Well, I grabbed a pic of the biker bar down the road, but I'm at a loss for a new tag. I'm open to suggestions. Help?

Cheshire · Post by **Cheshire** » Wed Mar 10, 2010 7:34 pm

Question: whatever happened to the original random pic with your scooter in it and pic 3 things in the pic for the tag? Going back to that might help with having to try to come up with something that's not on the now-rather-long list. Anyone mind?

I'm fine with that.

I want to play, but haven't been able to either ride, or find the target. (no biker bars around here that I want to go near...) The pic with three things should be fun and interesting!

We have several games going on simultaneously down here in Cincinnati. One of them is Alphabet Tag. We started with "A" and you had to take a picture of your scooter at an establishment that started with "A" like "Al's Laundromat" or "Applebees". The honor system applies and you aren't allowed to pre-load pictures. Once someone posts the picture with a letter, THEN you had to go get the next one. And the same person couldn't get two tags in a row. Whoever got the last tag of something with "Z", they get to choose the next category. So we started street names starting with the letter "A". EX "Adams Road". It's fun because lots of people will be going after that letter simultaneously but only one will get it on the site first. So now it's time to scramble to be the first for the next letter and on it goes. Several alphabet item suggestions could be your scooter with schools or vehicles or just restaurants, etc, etc, etc. Last letter Tag starts a new Alphabet Tag fresh and names the category.

You're having problems finding *one* item, but think *three* will be easier? :hehe:

Plus, the scooter +3 tag petered out after only a couple months, so I'm hesitant to try it again. And no one said you couldn't repeat (I have, if memory serves), it's just nice if we don't redo the same tags over and over again.

Of course, I've been wrong before (today).

Cheshire · Post by **Cheshire** » Thu Mar 11, 2010 10:07 pm

So repeating isn't forbidden, just preferred against? *whew*
I'm running out of new ideas. Alright...I'll be on the lookout for something ASAP.

*edit* Or Bonegirl's suggestion sounds good.

If I can't find anything for a unique 1-item theme, I'll do that, if no one objects...?

Syd · Post by **Syd** » Thu Mar 11, 2010 10:47 pm

Bonegirl's alphabet tag does sound like fun.

But think, if you post a tag of your scooter in front of a street sign that begins with the letter 'A' (thinking that maybe you'll be turning this into an alphabet tag), I can just as easily take a pic in front of an Alameda street sign, then post a new tag, in front of, say, a candlepin bowling alley.

The possibilities are endless!

BoneGirl · Post by **BoneGirl** » Fri Mar 12, 2010 3:25 am

Don't forget I keep a running list of the current Tags we have been using if anyone needs me to post the Refresher. There are a ton of places and things we could still Tag on the game we've been playing.

Syd · Post by **Syd** » Fri Mar 12, 2010 6:01 am

Which reminds me. Here's the list (I added to BoneGirl's original list to include everything after her last update - did I ever tell you what a good idea that was BoneGirl?).

Cheshire, see the number of tags that have been duplicated? Not many, for sure, but it has been done.

[EDIT] I removed the tag counts. I got to thinking it started to look like a competition, and Tag isn't a competition. (Plus, the table just got way to long)[/EDIT]

I can't believe that Cheshire hasn't posted the new tag yet!

KRUSTYburger · Post by **KRUSTYburger** » Sun Mar 14, 2010 1:53 am

I kinda forgot about this thread, I just read all the tag topics I posted and man I'm bad at picking topics!

I think that's why I don't play as much, I like riding around to find the tag but when it comes to making up a new one I got nothin!

Syd · Post by **Syd** » Tue Mar 16, 2010 11:12 pm

Cheshire?

Are you there?

Hello? Cheshire? Is anyone home?

Cheshire · Post by **Cheshire** » Wed Mar 17, 2010 1:40 am

Leemee 'lone, it's been raining.

New tag found me!
It's a BIG HOLE in the ground! Construction equipment preferred, in part or in whole...or in hole.

I updated the list above, too.

Syd,
Thanks for posting all of the tags!

xteraco · Post by **xteraco** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 7:16 pm

I just wanted to check. Is it ok to play even if I don't have a Buddy yet? I've got a Yamaha right not but I'm getting a Stella in a couple months if that helps!

Syd · Post by **Syd** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 11:47 pm

Nickie McNichols,
Thanks, but BoneGirl came up with the idea, I just put a pretty table around it.

xteraco,
No Buddy, No Problem! I don't have a Buddy either, and they let me stick around. So go out and find yourself a hole!

Nickie McNichols · Post by **Nickie McNichols** » Tue Mar 23, 2010 11:51 pm

Well, Syd, I like the table, too. It makes it much easier to read!

Nickie McNichols · Post by **Nickie McNichols** » Wed Mar 24, 2010 10:40 pm

Well, I've gone out twice looking for this tag. Please tell me if this one will work. The workmen left just as I was getting there.

Nickie McNichols · Post by **Nickie McNichols** » Thu Mar 25, 2010 8:20 pm

Bumpidity-bump-bump. Can anyone tell me if my hole in the ground passes, so I can post another tag? Please? Pretty please?

Syd · Post by **Syd** » Thu Mar 25, 2010 10:51 pm

I've seen deeper holes. I've seen wider holes. But it's plenty long, and I don't see anyone complaining.

(Plus isn't it easier to get forgiveness than permission? Tag, you're it, as far as I'm concerned.)

xteraco · Post by **xteraco** » Thu Mar 25, 2010 11:35 pm

I looked all over for a hole and found none. I found some huge pot holes, but none of them were construction related. :/

Lets have the next challenge!

Your hole got dug sideways.

I tease. Works for me!

What's next?

xteraco · Post by **xteraco** » Sun Mar 28, 2010 1:35 pm

Someone please start the new challenge! Its supposed to be 50 today and I've got a new set of batteries for my cam.

Syd · Post by **Syd** » Mon Mar 29, 2010 2:00 am

Really. It's been four days.

Niiiiiiiiiiickieeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!

If you don't post a new tag soon, somebody might fill your hole in and take a picture of their own.

Syd · Post by **Syd** » Wed Mar 31, 2010 4:50 pm

Going once....

gr8dog · Post by **gr8dog** » Wed Mar 31, 2010 6:04 pm

It's been a whole week since the hole in the ground was "filled" but no tag has been forwarded. Somebody post a new tag. Syd? Got anything?

Nickie McNichols · Post by **Nickie McNichols** » Wed Mar 31, 2010 6:21 pm

Please accept my humble apologies. We bought a new mobile home, and it has been taking up a lot of our time. Here's our next tag:
As you can see, it's a real feed store. Not a pet store or a store that just sells pet food. It's a country feed store. Go for it, and maybe the best tagger win! Again, I'm sorry for being a killjoy.

gr8dog · Post by **gr8dog** » Wed Mar 31, 2010 6:30 pm

Yay Nickie! Glad to have you back. Thanks for the tag. In Wisconsin we got feed mills/stores coming out of our butts, so to speak. Hopefully I can break away in the next few warm days to get a shot.

Syd · Post by **Syd** » Thu Apr 01, 2010 1:29 am

Going twice...

Oh. Never mind

Thanks Nickie! Nice one.

xteraco · Post by **xteraco** » Thu Apr 01, 2010 1:35 pm

Sweet, I think I actually know where one of those are!

xteraco · Post by **xteraco** » Thu Apr 01, 2010 10:57 pm

I know what you see in the pic is compost and soil, but I assure you this is a DRIVE THROUGH feed store! They sell feed for farm animals and all that. Definitely not a pet store.

For the next challenge. Your scoot and a filing cabinet. It doesn't have to be as tall as mine though.

Click for full size images.

Syd · Post by **Syd** » Fri Apr 02, 2010 2:06 am

Well done, xteraco. Well done. What the hell *is* that thing?

I could catch this tag without even leaving my garage. But I don't have anything I could post tonight, I'm leaving town in the middle of the night, and that, that thing, whatever it is, deserves to be there for a little longer.

:clap clap:

xteraco · Post by **xteraco** » Fri Apr 02, 2010 2:15 am

Its the worlds tallest filing cabinet! Some art project from one of the schools here in VT. Its also a memorial/burial site for our 2 guinea pigs Moteggi and Pouet. We figured they had personalities as unique and tall as the filing cabinet. Its only 2 blocks away from our apartment so it was unique AND easy to find!

btw, if you cant view the pics...

I got 1 complaint that imagehost.org (not the place I usually use) gave an error and they could not view the pic. I uploaded em to my fav host omploader, but the catch is you can only view the images if you are using Firefox, Chrome or Opera. Not IE.

A photo of your Buddy UNDER a bridge.

A bridge? I think I can manage that - expecially since the new Hunt is titled: Scooter Photo Scavenger Hunt 2010 Week 4: Bridges

Then on my way home I thought of this one:

Your scoot with a Donation bin. Tag! You're it!

gr8dog · Post by **gr8dog** » Mon Apr 19, 2010 6:02 pm

When I first glanced at the tag photo I thought it was a Port-O-Potty. Then I read "donation bin" and I thought.... OK, if that's what you want to call it?
