On campus there used to a scavenger hunt by different groups and people
would ask me where something or other could be found.
There was one once where freshman had to find some building or office on campus from a close up photo of the location.
I would be asked "where is this building?" and sometimes I had to think
since the photo didn't show that much.

Joe,

There was a movie several years ago called "Scavenger Hunt".

That was a hilarious movie.

I'm chuckling thinking of the memories of it.

Cleavon Little was one of the actors in there. There was also some
sort of medical sitcom years ago, where he was in the cast (the name of
it escapes me).

Also in there was Scatman Caruthers...and the guy who played Burt
on the sitcom "Soap"...his character was named "Marvin Dummitz". <G>

Some of the items were:

1) A toilet (invented by John Krapper). It was taken from the Hotel MontClaire...to which "this dumb blonde" named the toilet that. :P

2) A cash register drawer (without the money)...these guys put masks
on to rob the place, and took it...but left all the cash there.

3 and 4) A policeman's uniform (it was "graciously volunteered", thanks
to a tank of nitrous oxide (laughing gas). When the cop came out of this
van, due to the leaking tank of nitrous oxide (he was half naked), he's laughing, and said "I'm going to lose my @$$ for this!!" <G>.

5) A microscope (it can see small things...like "the dumb blonde's"
brain <G>).

6) A heavy set individual, among many other items.

I think there was a scene, with a guy knocked over all the motorcycles
of this gang of "Hell's Angels" at this restaurant. <G>

Toward the end, the one team stole a bunch of items from the other
teams. So, the other teams combined their deals, and won.

As the rules were initially announced, the character "Stuart Seltzsum"
said "Eccentricity isn't illegal...but it sure is a pain in the @$$". He
does have a point. :P

I would be asked "where is this building?" and sometimes I had to
think since the photo didn't show that much.

Unless you really knew your way around, and could decipher the clues,
you were at a loss.

... I finally got 8 hours of sleep. It took 3 days, but whatever...

Temperatures Rising, I think. Paul Lynde was in it as the head of a
hospital or something.
I think it was on for like five minutes before it was yanked off the air.
It was pretty bad.

Reminds me of the old joke.
A mild mannered truck driver stops at a roadside diner for a cup of
coffee. In the diner are about 12 members of a motorcycle gang who give him a hard time. He's called a coward for not fighting back. He finishes his coffee, gets up and leaves.
One gang member says to another "Not much of a man is he?"
The diner operator says, "Not much a driver either. He just ran over
your motorcycles."

Amazing what they consider "humor"...and the "canned laugh track" does
not cut it.

LOL!!

I heard an elderly ham radio operator on a net earlier today, share a
deal with an experience he had with his granddaughter. He had one of the
OLD rotary phones (possibly with the bells and hand crank) on the wall,
and his granddaughter, seeing it, asked her grandfather what it was.

When he told her "A telephone", she increduously said "You have got
to be kidding me!!"...and with that, she left the room. <G>

... Yesterday was the deadline for all complaints.
