WorldWide Scooter Tag

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.

sorry ya'll, took a while to come up w/something interesting that hadn't been done.

Here ya go, your scooter w/a historic mansion like this one, the Belmont Mansion. Extra points if it was owned by a robber baron.

I know of the perfect building. Too bad my scooter is broken.

xteraco · Post by **xteraco** » Sat Apr 17, 2010 6:49 pm

Does it count if its superimposed?

LMAO

gr8dog · Post by **gr8dog** » Sat Apr 17, 2010 9:07 pm

Woo Hooo! My first tag of the season.

Here is the historic mansion, from two angles. I took a photo of the sign describing why it is historic.

CLICK PHOTO FOR LARGER VIEW

I know, this one doesn't have Buddy in the photo. Buddy is behind the sign.

CLICK PHOTO FOR LARGER VIEW

Here is the sign describing the significance of this home.

CLICK PHOTO FOR LARGER VIEW

And now for the tag....
A photo of your Buddy UNDER a bridge.

CLICK PHOTO FOR LARGER VIEW

Have fun.

Syd · Post by **Syd** » Mon Apr 19, 2010 3:05 am

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?

Syd · Post by **Syd** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 12:03 am

It's been almost a week. What, does your city have no charity?

gr8dog · Post by **gr8dog** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 12:11 am

We don't have any donation bins that I am aware of. Too many people were using them as their own personal garbage receptacles. I will see if there is one by one of the Goodwill stores. My point and shoot camera died last week also. I do have an older one I can use though.

xteraco · Post by **xteraco** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 2:55 pm

I'm gonna try to find one this evening.

bpatrick5 · Post by **bpatrick5** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 8:36 pm

Tag....you're it. Plane in flight in the photo with your scoot.

xteraco · Post by **xteraco** » Fri Apr 30, 2010 5:53 pm

Awesome. I've got my Ruckus now while the Vino is waiting for repairs. We're gonna try to catch a plane tonight!

bpatrick5 · Post by **bpatrick5** » Fri Apr 30, 2010 6:12 pm

Thanks!! You can do it!!

I was using my phone to take the plane pic. It took about 30 minutes before I realized the phone just wasn't fast enough. So, I took a video and pulled a still out of that. Meanwhile, the guys in the tower were giving me the eye the whole time. I don't think they like people capturing images at airports very much.

Good luck!

Syd · Post by **Syd** » Fri Apr 30, 2010 11:17 pm

Either that or they don't like the idea of low-rent scooters in the streets of Mercedes-friendly Scottsdale!

xteraco · Post by **xteraco** » Sat May 01, 2010 12:51 am

Here it is!

I used the same technique. I shot some video of a plane going by and then stole a frame from the vid. Here is a link to the clip.

22mb because its 720p @ 60fps
ftp://ftp.untergrund.net/users/xteraco/141_0230.MOV

And for the next challenge. Your scoot with horribly unhealthy food that you intend to eat. In this case its the new Double Down from KFC.

bpatrick5 · Post by **bpatrick5** » Sat May 01, 2010 1:12 am

Nice shot!! Is the plural of Ruckus Ruckus or is it Rucki?

Funny you say that. I traded the Mercedes for a Buddy (well, a Buddy and an old little Chevy pickup). But, I refuse to leave Scottsdale. I just dig it here too much!

Too late for the Tomb, I'm afraid.

In conventional Scooter Tag, all players are from one area, Arlington/DC for example.

The first player would post a picture of her scoot at the entrance to Arlington Nat'l Cemetary. The next player would post a pic of his scoot in the same spot, then post a pic of his scoot at another location, in front of the WhiteHouse, say. The third player would post a pic of their scoot in front of the White House, then post a pic of their scoot in a new location. And fun ensues!

Since we are not in one location, we have to generalize a bit. So I post a pic of my scoot under a bridge (catching gr8dog's tag), then post a pic of my scoot in front of a Donation bin. bpatrick5 gets my tag by posting a pic of his/her scoot in front of a donation bin, then posts the new tag: your scoot with a disgusting, unhealthy, unspeakable (but probably pretty tasty) meal.

So now it's up to you to match bpatrick's tag - you can use the Double-Down, or almost any meal from Burger King :chuckle:, you get the idea, then post a new pic showing your scoot with something - oh, try not to duplicate tags that have already been used, if you can. And the fun continues!

So pick up your camera, start up your scoot, and go eat!

Barberry17 · Post by **Barberry17** » Fri May 21, 2010 12:33 pm

I have a picture of me eating ice cream on my scoot...

Syd · Post by **Syd** » Sat May 22, 2010 3:15 am

If Ice Cream was healthy, it would be served for breakfast, so that sounds ok to me. But how about a version a little bigger than an avatar!

xteraco · Post by **xteraco** » Wed May 26, 2010 12:52 pm

Ice cream is full of stearic acid which is the #1 cause of heart disease and buildup in the arteries. Definitely junk food.

BoneGirl · Post by **BoneGirl** » Fri Jun 04, 2010 5:07 pm

There are way too many unhealthy foods besides ice cream. It's summer for God's sake, a staple food!

Modern Buddy

Ice cream unhealthy?
