Scooter Photo Scavenger Hunt 2010 May Week 4: Baseball
May 23- May 30

Join in on the fun!
Note: if you haven’t joined the hunt yet, you can still jump in.
You do not have to go crazy with 20 point photos – If you want, feel free to go get the basic photo & post up. No one will give you a hard time here. We just want lots of people to play along – the fun part is seeing LOTS of scoots with the subject of the week.

We did this hunt back in 2008 & it produced some of my favorite pics.

4Pts – your scooter at a baseball field (or park or stadium)
+2pts if there is a game being played and we can see the game
+4pts if you have baseball players (more than one & not including you) posing with your scooter
+4pts if you have an ump (in uniform) posing with your sccoter
+2 pts if you are in the photo

I do hope softball counts? This town is insane for softball. Bismarck hosts the largest charity softball tournament in the nation. The McQuade Charity Softball tournament.

We even had a team from Hawaii a few years back. The teams name was Komonawannleiya

Thank God, at least I won't I won't be 0 for May!

Sure... softball works

Scoreboard update


This is going to be my last week as the hunt-master for a while....
anyone want to take over (with some fresh ideas?)
or do we want to take a month or so off?

By God, I'm posting something this week. If I stumble on something better (yeah, sure) I'll forfeit the first post point. Until then, though...

nice kick off Syd

Hello? Is there anyone there? Baseball diamonds are like flies on, mmm, you get the idea. Let's see some pictures!

I'm sorry, I came up blank this week. I've been so caught up, figured I'd get it done Friday, but got rained in, then work, and was out with fam all day today... I know, too many excuses, and it could've been so much easier to post something... now it's nearly midnight with nothing

yeah... the hunt kind of petered out....
My scooter is down for the count (for now)

we had a few good pics this spring

Ok... and we have a May winner!
Congrats to BootScootin'FireFighter - great pics this month!

I had planned to get a photo this weekend but ended up doing a last minute trip to Minneapolis for the weekend.

Is the scavenger hunt going to start up again Looks like fun but it seems to have ended before I joined

I really petered out by the end of May - just not many people interested in playing.
Back in 2008 we had a big hunt going (some weeks had 25+ players) http://www.timwall.com/hunt/
but it died out also.

That being said, I am always up for a good photo scavenger hunt - you should feel free to start one up!
Hopefully a fresh set of ideas from down under might be just the think to make it popular again.

A photo of you scooter with a dingo?
bonus points if you are wearing your bathers
that might not be everyone's cup of rice but I bet you could come up with some good oil.

One we never did was you scooter with a dunny (no bonus points for your doodle in the photo - might get sprung for that)

I had fun doing it, but it always seemed to be on my mind because during a busy week I had to squeeze in time to make a trip to whatever photo spot it was. Maybe a lot of people lost interest because of the short timeframe to post up. I think we'd get a bigger turnout if there was like a 2 week window or more to play with. Just a suggestion.

I love the scavenger hunt, the only problem was between bad weather and working I usually missed the deadline. The ones I did get though were really fun... good times.

Ok Tony... we are all waiting for you to re-start the scavenger hunt!
We are looking forward to a corker

(are any of my Aussie slang words making you feel welcomed?

Lemont you crack me up. I will try extra hard to participate if McGurk wants to start up the scavenger hunt again. The worldwide scooter tag is too hard for me to follow, every time I get one someone else has already got it.

Not as easy as it seems. I was going back through all the old games & so far all the ideas I had have been done. Maybe the dunny gets it but apart from a roll of toilet paper there's not a lot I can think of for bonus points...

Hooley Dooley!!! (Wow!!!) I haven't heard corker for yonks (a long time). It's such a corker of a word. All I can say is stone the flamin' crows (damn it) because a lot of Aussie slang has carked it (died) with the younger generation. So many whipper snappers (younger ones) use mostly American terms these days. Idiot box (TV) influence I guess. One that really annoys me is the word "Guy" everyone says it now instead of bloke. I'm not a guy I'm a bloke!!!! That's a real corker of a website too.

Ooo BLOKE. I like that one I'll have to use it more. Is "whipper snappers" originally a phrase from Australia? Because I say that all the time.

I get Aussie slang and that from the uk mixed up. I love it both. An old soccer coach I had used to say knickers and rubbish all the time. And then a bunch of garbled words that I think were swear words. Cool Guy.

I haven't a clue mate, maybe it's not but I remember as a kid being called a young whipper snapper

Tony
