Salutations, and happy Friday. We just cannot seem to get away from Texas. Scott L. sent in some cool clues, among them this neat looking building that resembles a baby’s rattle. Quite visible recognizable from as far out as 12/15. Scott is also one of the few to actually do some hard thinking on what kind of word clues would be appropriate and send in his ideas. That’s very much appreciated, in case I haven’t mentioned it! I’ve taken some of the suggestions he had and combined them in usual Scavengeroogle fashion to leave you with:

“Stonewall, left of Fate”

Note that this is a combination of his ideas; I fear I may have scavengeroogled them into oblivion. Hopefully, this won’t turn into a hair pulling fest again. I am going to be ready to drop clues furiously in case of that, but I’m thinking that there’s a chance I won’t need to. There’s really no way to predict it; the clues I think are too hard are too easy and vice versa. That’s life!

Actually, here is one hint up-front: Don’t jump too quickly to conclusions with this clue, or you might find yourself up to your necks in herring!

Okay, you’ve got until 2:00 p.m. PDT today or so. I’ll be checking in every so often… On your mark, get set, Scavengeroogle!

[Edit: Eeps. Ok, I hear ya…The consensus is that this was WAY too easy. What say we knock off early today around 12:00 then? Happy Friday to ya, and see you all hopefully on Monday.]

  1. scott l Says:

    Sweet! You used my clue! This is actually perfect, because if there’s anything I can’t afford to do today, it’s spend hours scavengeroogling with my term paper due at four o’clock. Anyway, don’t think too hard, and good luck.

  2. Scavengeroogle Says:

    scott - i fear i may have transmuted your clue into something too easy. but good luck on the term paper!

    2 blocks from my house. I could walk outside and throw a rock and hit this buiilding, if it wasn’t a church that is.

  4. Scavengeroogle Says:

    shawn - that’s so funny! I would be tripped out if someone submitted a clue that was 2 blocks from my house…

  5. Phil M Says:

    Just a note, you spelled my name Phil C under the names of those who solved the clue. Its actually Phil M. Just to clarify.

  6. Scavengeroogle Says:

    Hehe, yes. I saw that there were 4 people in a row with last name starting with C… highly unlikely!
