Scavenger Hunt: Part One
Introducin Round One of
Several days ao I asked if anyone was interested in submittin their blo as part of a fun and interactive scavener hunt ame. uess what happened? Over 140 bloers said yes. So, I have put them in random roups of twenty and I will be offerin one roup at a time.
Please note that havin a blo or not havin submitted your blo is not a requirement for playin.
Simply match up the twenty blos found in the extended post with the clues provided. Once you have completed this round of the Scavener Hunt please send me your completed list via email.
This round will close at 10.00 AM (EST) on Thursday January 27. At that time a new round will be posted. The purpose of the two days is to allow all interested players the opportunity to play at their leisure. Althouh I will be offerin a list of all players who successfully matched the blos and clues it will not be juded on a first completed basis as this would be unfair to players in different time zones and with different schedules.
The comment section will be left open to ask questions or to request clarification. However, please do not post your answers in the comment box. I would also appreciate if you leave a comment in this post informin me that you are playin or have played so that at the end of all rounds I can offer a tournament round for any players who have participated several times.
The purpose of this ame is to enjoy a friendly and somewhat challenin meet-and-reet. Therefore please consider sayin hello to the blos that you are visitin and spread some comment cheer. Don't know what to say? Oh, I have an idea, perhaps you could say "Hello, Michele sent me."
So, are you ready to play?

Hello, Michele. Thanks for visiting my site. I hope you come back.
This place is amazing! Blog central! How do you do it?
Posted by: AbbyNormal | January 25, 2005 at 11:14 AM
Ok, Michelle - - I can't even figure out which clue is for MY OWN BLOG!
Oops . . .actually I just did.
I was having a crisis of confidence there for a moment.
This looks like a lot of fun! I have two of them so far . . .
Posted by: Anita | January 25, 2005 at 11:30 AM
I'm in! (But not right now... there's that funny... um... work thing I have to deal with for a while...grrr...)
Posted by: Zee | January 25, 2005 at 11:34 AM
LOL--I didn't see the list of blogs at first. From the clues I assumed my blog wasn't included this time. Got a comment about it and realized I was in. I had to re-read the clues about 3 times to figure out mine. No time to play now, but I'll be back!
Posted by: Bluegrass Mama | January 25, 2005 at 11:40 AM
Michele:
You are wonderful! Even though I went all wonky on you about a post, you were gracious and generous.
It took me 10 minutes to figure out which one I was.
Thank you for including me and for a great clue!
Oh, and btw, Hello, Michele sent me!!!!
Posted by: Scully | January 25, 2005 at 11:48 AM
I'm playing, but boy is it hard. Thanks for keeping me thinking....
Posted by: Shannin | January 25, 2005 at 12:19 PM
Hope you don't mind Michele, but I gave the kids a break. If they visit, I'll tell them the answer for my site.
Lovely clue though! Thanks much.
Posted by: La Nina | January 25, 2005 at 12:55 PM
Well done, Michele. You're the craftiest.
Another lunch hour, happily, down the drain.
Gobble. Br.

Okay, I'm playing - this may take me awhile!
Posted by: Christine | January 25, 2005 at 01:06 PM
Wow, that was a lot of work!! And I'm another one that had trouble with my own! :)
Posted by: Dave Diamond | January 25, 2005 at 01:16 PM
I'm in....Yikes, this looks tricky. But FUN!
Posted by: Lisa | January 25, 2005 at 01:39 PM
Hah - it took me a while to decipher my own clue as well! But I did eventually get it...
Posted by: Betsy | January 25, 2005 at 01:43 PM
Oh. Man. I suck at this. LMAO! *goes back to try harder*
Posted by: Tricia | January 25, 2005 at 02:25 PM
I'll give a whirl. Looks fun! Sorry, that's as clever as I can be right now. Pathetic.
Posted by: elle | January 25, 2005 at 02:47 PM
Okay, I'm a dork! I didn't see the list of blogs, and I've been scanning ALL the blogs in the sign-up post! This should make it a tad easier!
Posted by: Christine | January 25, 2005 at 03:41 PM
I'm working on it!! Too fun!
Posted by: nat | January 25, 2005 at 03:49 PM
Ouch! This is hard! Brain hurts!
Posted by: Jenny | January 25, 2005 at 04:02 PM
Ouch.. this is hard. I think I only have 2 left.
Posted by: Karen | January 25, 2005 at 04:04 PM
Okay, I've been doing this for an hour and I only have four. I am an idiot. Maybe I have adult ADD...
Posted by: Jenny | January 25, 2005 at 04:32 PM
This is a GREAT game! Better than bocci.
I'm sending my answers in- they better be right!
Just kiiiiiding. This really was fun.
Posted by: Tony | January 25, 2005 at 04:39 PM
The clues are very good. Took a bit of time, over halfway done. I should finish it by tonight. Well done.
Posted by: The Judge | January 25, 2005 at 04:42 PM
Not sure, but does this replace the normal comment game? And, this is harder than I thought it would be!
Posted by: rebeka | January 25, 2005 at 04:43 PM
Michele - Sorry I mispelled your name earlier. It's been that kind of week. Rest assured, I'm not totally losing my mind.
Posted by: Anita | January 25, 2005 at 04:58 PM
Yeah, I'm playing too. Took me FOREVER to figure out the clue to my site, mostly cuz it wasn't in this batch, which threw me lol
Posted by: Phil | January 25, 2005 at 05:02 PM
LOL. Took me 69 minutes. Hmmm. Interesting.
Posted by: nat | January 25, 2005 at 05:03 PM
I'm done playing in the snow, so I'm ready to play with all you guys!
Posted by: Kathy | January 25, 2005 at 05:45 PM
I'm here, Michele...and ready to play. Good thing this thing closes by Thursday. I'm going on VACATION!!! YIPPEEEE!!! Here we go...(scavenge, baby!)

Posted by: aka_monty | January 25, 2005 at 06:10 PM
So let me get this straight, you only play during your round?
Posted by: Janet | January 25, 2005 at 07:07 PM
Okay I'm gonna play
where's my spy glass?
Posted by: Milehighdivacyn | January 25, 2005 at 07:47 PM
This is hard, but I'm trying. It's fun too!
Posted by: K | January 25, 2005 at 08:16 PM
This is HARD!!!
Posted by: cori | January 25, 2005 at 08:28 PM
I only have 4 so far. This is a great game! Thanks Michele.
Posted by: Jennifer | January 25, 2005 at 09:19 PM
Hey I'm having fun but I am up to only 7 of the 20
the clues are tough.
but hey I like challenges.
Posted by: Milehighdivacyn | January 25, 2005 at 09:32 PM
Yes easier I say....by the way what is the prize? A big fat goose egg?
Posted by: cori | January 25, 2005 at 09:45 PM
Done! This was a great game. Nice to be challenged for a change. I hope the other games you put together are as good as this!
Posted by: The Judge | January 25, 2005 at 09:51 PM
I have one...but that is only because I emailed and asked. I'm gonna go crawl back under my rock now.
Posted by: tommy | January 25, 2005 at 09:54 PM
13 of 20 is resepctable. But I think my eyes are going to leave my head of their own volition if I don't quit for now.
Posted by: Jennifer | January 25, 2005 at 10:28 PM
I have 17 of 20
my eyes are bugged out.
HAHA
Posted by: Milehighdivacyn | January 25, 2005 at 10:31 PM
I had to stop at 16 myself. Maybe I matched the wrong clues with the wrong sites. Could be that's why I'm stuck now! But a lot of fun.
Posted by: Kathy | January 25, 2005 at 10:41 PM
DONE DONE
I HAVE SENT MY ANSWERS
WHEW
Now can I go to sleep?
Posted by: Milehighdivacyn | January 25, 2005 at 10:46 PM
Oh my goodness! I didn't realize you had to be SMART to play this game. Intelligence is NOT my strong suit. Off to challenge mediocrity. Wish me luck!
Posted by: Pink Poppy | January 25, 2005 at 11:03 PM
That was a blast! Looking forward to the next one.
Posted by: annie | January 25, 2005 at 11:14 PM
Oh.My.Gawd.
My week is aready insanely busy. I guess I am going to have to prop my eyelids open with toothpicks and start surfing blogs.
Posted by: Grins | January 25, 2005 at 11:39 PM
I found this to be quite entertaining. The clues were not difficult if you read the blogs listed on a somewhat regular basis. I had to figure the last two via elimination.
I didn't email my answers, rather, I posted them on my site. (sort of)
Posted by: John | January 26, 2005 at 12:15 AM
OK, man, I thought I had 18 of them, but the last two I had don't even remotely match up to the last two clues.
*Giving up and waiting for the answers*
Posted by: songstress7 | January 26, 2005 at 01:10 AM
Well, I have 10 of them so far. But you know it's not going to be easy when people can't figure out which clue belongs to themself!
