Are you going to play?

dont have time to catch up ~_~

[adam]

I would like to know how many hours ahead you are!!!!!!
So what time (Perth time) does this end?

[adam]

I need more points

[shuttertalk]

Good point adam... as of this post, it is 11.31 AM here in Melbourne. Entries will close at 12 midnight tonight! Just over 12 hours to go!

[adam]

I still have some time to find a bald man!!!! ~~~~~!@~!@~!@~!
but need more boldness to ask if I can rub ~

[StudioJ]

I'd let you rub my bald head but I don't know where you've been Adam, besides you've already won unless someone happens to wander past the clown on stilts in the next 4 hours.

If I had Azheimers disease and rubbed my own head would that count? I'd probably forget to post the picture. I have CRAFT though which is pretty close.

[adam]

sometimes my hair gets in the way, maybe i need a haircut soon
mum wanted me to get one today....
hehe

[adam]

These pictures are NOT intended for defamatory purposes, they are used to gain points in this competition.
I think I will remove some of the pictures after the competition
is over... as I did not ask for permission if I could put these on the internet.


These items will earn you 100 points each:
- yourself next to a fire hydrant


- yourself leap frogging over someone else

description, I was leaping like a frog over my sister.

- yourself posing next to a statue


- yourself hanging upside down


- yourself in handcuffs
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The policeman asked if I wanted to look like I was arrested... then he said "sorry, I didn't bring my handcuffs"

- an object beginning with the letter "Q"

If you don't accept this, then here you go

This is a Q-ueue! This picture was also taken for the scavenger hunt!

- yourself posing next to a for sale sign
I didn't get a chance to do this

- yourself hugging a street sign in a public area

I normally wouldn't hug street signs but this made me do it, and I quite enjoyed it, so I continued hugging them:



- yourself with a dog doing a trick


- yourself on skates/rollerblades/skateboard


These items will earn you 250 points each:
- a traffic accident (hey don't cause any ok?)

Yes! I took this today! BUT to be honest, it's a picture of a poster.
So here's a picture of a traffic accident (waiting to happen)

Ok ok ok, here's the more serious entry:

It's a big dent on the back side of the car I drive, I hope it gets fixed soon...
My dad did it when reversing out of someones driveway, he didn't look directly behind...
They must fix it before everyone thinks that I did it!


- yourself with a someone at fast food restaurant in uniform
- yourself coming out of a toilet of the opposite sex

Description: I am male, opposite sex is female, and I'm coming out of the female toilets

- a letterbox with the numbers "123"
- yourself + 2 other people with a yellow flower behind the right ear
- yourself being pushed in a shopping trolley

These items will earn you 500 points each:
- a clown on stilts
- yourself next to a policeman

I think I'll take this one down when scavenger hunt is over - so I don't get Mr Kind Policeman in any trouble.
He offered to arrest me, then said that he didn't bring his handcuffs (Ahh! missed the combo!)
- yourself rubbing a bald stranger's head
Sorry, I'm too shy.
- yourself and 9 others crammed into a car
Done this a few times, never got pictures though.
- a car parked at a no parking sign (not your own, please)
- yourself holding a nintendo 64
I asked my friend to bring his nintendo 64 to church, he said he was going to... then... didn't

These items will earn you 1000 points each;
- the letters "shuttertalk" spelt out with people (you know, do the YMCA thing)

- a pastor / vicar / priest etc. holding a bottle of beer
- yourself next to an elvis impersonator (or someone who looks like elvis)
We've had the asian-elvis-impersonator stay at our house, unfortunately, this was before this competition, and I did not get a photograph with him. I had another chance at a karaoke night where there was an Elvis impersonator, but he was unwell and did not come.
- yourself with a protester holding a placard
- yourself next to a pink cadillac


THE END!!!
time to tally the scores.. *starts looking wishfully at the Mr. Gadget website*

Aside from the fact that had he dodgied up one of his photos, I happened to hack into Adam's computer and find the "truth".

Well done once again, and thank you all for joining in the fun. Adam, I'll contact you regarding claiming your $50 Mr Gadget Voucher!

[shuttertalk]

I think I'll take this one down when scavenger hunt is over - so I don't get Mr Kind Policeman in any trouble.
He offered to arrest me, then said that he didn't bring his handcuffs (Ahh! missed the combo!)

Lol... you should leave it up, but put one of those pixel screens on the face, like they do on TV...

Haha... I can't believe you did that... you're such a legend...

[adam]

Woooooooo!! I won something!!!

I'd like to thank all the photographers of the competition, my country for making it possible, shuttertalk and that friendly policeman.

I thought the competition would be a bit closer, so maybe I didn't need to go to such a far and desperate attempt, but was fun

So, I've covered Mr Policeman's face and badge
Just incase he joins shuttertalk and arrests me for real, then I can get the points for handcuff

[lismg9]

Congrats, Adam! Nicely done!

[peter]

haha .. i think you just like hugging public street signs adam ...
so what u gonna get with your voucher ?

[adam]

Will have to check first what I want and can get for cheaper there
*yay* I win, mine

[shuttertalk]

Look! A clown on stilts!!



Nah, this was from 2002..

[adam]

Hehe! What event was that for?

[shuttertalk]

Food and wine festival at Southbank, Melbourne, I think...

[adam]

I went to the food and wine show in the Perth Convention centre last week, this man warned me and my friend that the chilli was hot, we didn't believe him, scooped a whole heaps and burnt our mouths away

[matthew saville]

what if I get a picture of me and three guys holding n64's outside a Quickie mart hanging upside down with rollerblades on a fire hydrant statue that's for sale with flowers behind our right ears and there's a policeman who has a clown uniform with stilts and drives a yellow caddy with 9 other people already arrested in a no parking zone so my guess is that we'll go in a shopping trolley... and I'm rubbing his bald head while he handcuffs me and the elvis impersonators / mcdonalds employees are protesting our arrest with signs?

According to the rules and my calculations, I'll get 7700 points for that one!

*grabs his camera and runs off*

-matt-

[shuttertalk]

Get that on camera, and you're a sure winner!

lol... seriously though, the scavenger hunt is over, although you can still post stuff if you want.


adam.... lol I did that as well a couple of years ago at the Victoria market. Now I avoid the chilli stalls...

[StudioJ]

When are you starting the next Scavenger Hunt ST?
