Winter-- can you blame me? I'm a polar allosaurid!

Oh, dinos, definitely!

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #4 on:** June 20, 2011, 08:30:48 PM »

Well dinosaurs would be the obvious choice for me, but I also could do cuddly critters cause Pleo are cuddly as can be, but I could enjoy any scavenger Hunt and I like surprises, it makes it more interesting and more of a challenge, so surprise us is what I say! The only thing I do not want as a topic is Math or Politics, I hate math and would fail miserablly. I look forward to taking my herd or township out to get some fun interestng photos this time, Each time has been fun fun fun and I can't see this being any different. I do think it should be a level playing field where anyone from any part of the world can take part without having a disavantage of finding particular items.

I can't wait for July 1'st!

What are the photo scavenger hunts? (I haven't been a member here long enough to have seen a past one.) Whatever they are, sounds like fun!

Crewella · « **Reply #6 on:** June 20, 2011, 08:52:27 PM »

It's basically a way of getting people to take more cute pics of Pleos!

I think this was the last one:

I get it now!

I'll probably enter this one, it seems like a lot of fun!

I don't know . . . math could be fun! You could, say, have one item be pleos demonstrating the Pythagorean theorem. You now, like maybe have a couple of pleos wearing togas standing around with a right angled triangle . . . or maybe dressed up as american indians with a couple of buffalo hides and a hippopotamus.

See? That probably makes perfect sense to everybody else ............

The pleos would probably be better at it and a heck of a lot quicker at it than I would. I do like the imagery that was presented, just the facts are ..............################lets just say not my cup of tea...I like basic math and when I can't count on my hands and fingers anymore I start getting lost. Lets also just say that when I went to school there were no computers, no caluclators. you were just given a ole fashioned chalkboard, and a piece of chalk and somtimes if it was a nice day out, and the village elder was in a good mood, you could go sit out in the sun, ( being ever observant for wild beasts.) and you could play in the fields, hide and go seek, Dodgeball, ( though it feels a lot better with a rubber ball instead of a large ROCK.......but the Rock is better than a fresh Buffalo Chip or what is caleld, "Bison Mudpie"

) I was best at "CHASE THE RABBIT" and Better yet at making berrie prints and herbal 101 where we got to gather anise, dandilion, slippery elm and many others for a " chemisty lesson, " ( Actually it was needed because there was no neighborhood drug store, so if you had a sore throat, itchy skin, or couldn't sleep, you were allways given a good drink or good tonic or ointment for whatever ailed you. ) Actually I miss those days, they were a lot simpler and you knew what to expect. I mean when one classmate had the whooping cough, or chicken Pox or measles, you knew you were not going to have to go to school for awhile, because it was just a matter of time till you got them as well. ( and sure enough I had all of those ailments, but many more they didn't bother to mention...

OH well, those were the good ole days and Bob was not even born yet...and Math was still couting in the sand with a stick..........................for me anyway.

You just gotta know the theory . . . see, there were these two warring indian tribes.. One day, this tribe makes a raid on the enemy camp and kidnaps the chieftain's son. This chief it seems had two wives, only one son. Well, in retaliation, the chief got his braves together and they went and raided the first tribe's camp and kidnapped that chief's only wife.

A meeting was suggested for the two chiefs to come together and discuss terms for peace. The one chief set up a big tent in a neutral area, with a big fire pit in the center and two chairs (one for each chief). Next to his chair, the chief also laid out two buffalo skin rugs for his two grieving wives to join him. The other chief arrived, bringing his prisoner with him, and saw the first chief with his two wives and noticed that the empty chair and the also empty bear skin rug next to it.

"Be seated. We discuss peace treaty." said the first chief.

"Where my squaw?" demanded the second chief, "She must be here on skin next to me, as your squaws next to you. I bring son with me."

The first chief realized he had forgotten his hostage and quickly sent his braves to get her. Back at their camp, the braves grabbed the chief's wife, but couldn't find a spare horse for her to ride, so in desperation, they used the only other mount available, the tribes pet hippopotamus.

Meanwhile, the two chiefs argued back and forth, unable to come to a compromise. An elder from a third tribe was brought in to mediate. He looked at the one chief with his to wives and their son, the other chief's prisoner.

"Want son back." Said the chief.

"Want wife back" Said the other chief.

"Is good trade?" Asked the first.

The mediator looked at the second chief and the empty bear skin, and them back at the chief who had no prisoner. The mediator looked sad. But just then, the group of braves rode up with the hostage wife, and the mediator got a big smile on his face.

The turned to the two chiefs and spoke. "It well know. It proven fact." he said, "Great, wise brave from long, long ago . . . the warrior Pie That No Rust have theory. He say that squaw of hippopotamus equal to son of squaws of other two hides."

Oh good grief!

Thanks mweed - all is now clear as ..................... mud!

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #15 on:** June 21, 2011, 01:43:37 PM »

Well I know there is some great pearl of wisdom there, but it went right over my head. I just was not good at these things, if they are hidden, I usually miss them, but I appreicate the story and I can visualize the group in the Teepee and the squaw on the hippo, it is worth it just for that!

That's um an interesting story about the pythagorean theorem... It actually is funny though

. Pretty much any theme sounds fun to me.

Hey it's better than the explanation I got at school... Sort of

Love it!!!

Makes me think of the programmers joke I saw:

Why can't programmers tell the difference between Halloween and Christmas? Because 31Oct = 25Dec.

(Any programmers here will probably get it - everyone else, never mind, my apologies. Yeah, I know ... I'm a computer geek)

Crewella · « **Reply #19 on:** June 21, 2011, 08:19:38 PM »

Mweed, what have you started?

How many computer geeks does it take to change a lightbulb?

.................. it's dark in here?

allosaurus · « **Reply #20 on:** June 21, 2011, 08:24:09 PM »

How many altos does it take to change a lightbulb?
Three-- one to actually do it, and two to ask "isn't that a bit high for you?"

Now, how many sopranos does it take to change a lightbulb?
One-- she just holds the lightbulb up, and the world revolves around her!!

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #21 on:** June 21, 2011, 09:38:27 PM »

To get back on topic for a sec, it is so far a tie between winter, summer and dinosaurs so we may end up with a winter and summer dinosaurs theme...

I now return you to your scheduled programming...

How many Computer Tech Support people does it take to change a lightbulb?

Hmm better ring support and ask...
Ring-ring ring-ring, Ring-ring ring-ring, Ring-ring ring-ring, Ring-ring ring-ring, Ring-ring ring-ring, Ring-ring ring-ring, Ring-ring ring-ring, Ring-ring ring-ring, Ring-ring ring-ring, Ring-ring ring-ring, Ring-ring ring-ring, Ring-ring ring-ring, Ring-ring ring-ring, Ring-ring ring-ring, Ring-ring ring-ring, Ring-ring ring-ring.....

I know that's right! Tech-support at most companies I've dealt with is a nightmare! Oh and let's not forget the tech-support people who manage assistive technology. You'd think that with the size of their market- smaller than mainstream markets- that you could get to the person you needed to to help with your problem. Maybe by the seventh transfer. Anyway, not sure if I could participate in this scavenger hunt but it sounds like a lot of fun. Are we supposed to be coming up with ideas?

grumpy · « **Reply #23 on:** June 22, 2011, 09:55:42 AM »

Maybe the scavenger hunt should be to find the Tech Support people!

oh, now Complete randomness and Dinosaurs are tied - hmmmm. Completely random dinosaurs?
