Can we still offer more places to write it?
On a front sign of a school or business with the big letters would be cool.
Or possibly on a random, non-sexual part of the body? Like a stomach?
How about on a burned out, Soviet tank in Afghanistan?
How about in a minefield in Afghanistan?
Tripler
C’mon, that last one’s gotta be good for at least 50 points.
Oh, it’s on now.
Well, if there was real money involved for these pictures, I have a copy of Photshop that would ensure my winning.
OK, let’s get a few more in.
Written on a chalkboard in a classroom.
So…what am I up to, Idle Thoughts?
Sure.
In front of a school or business with those letters will get you 100 points.
No problem. (assuming you already live/are there) 50 points for each of them.
Oh man. EvilAsh extends his lead HUGELY with 1760 points.
Still in second, but swearing revenge is Troy McClure SF 910 points.
Third place is currently held by Anastasaeon with 450 points.
And the other scores are:
bouv with 290 points.
Palooka with 200 points.
Just for the record…instead of reposting the whole list just to cross 4 of them…remember that the classroom ones are done, as are the written in chalk on sidewalk and on a paper up on a pole.
Took a bunch of photos this summer…let’s get 'em posted!
At a capital:
In front of a (real) space capsule:
With the Sears Tower in the background.
At the tiger cage at the Milwaukee Zoo.
On a farm.
In a cornfield.
With the Mississippi River in the background (St. Louis).
At the Gayeway Arch.
At the Milwaukee Public Museum mentioned in this column.
That’s it…for now.
What’s the tally?
I hereby declare that EvilAsh is super cool and I wish he posted more often.
Great photos!
If I’d read this while I was living in China, I’d have a chance to beat you, but now I won’t even try.
Time’s up.
And the final tallies/scores are…
Fifth place goes to Palooka with 200 points. Not too shabby.
For fourth is bouv who amused a lot of people with his photos and got up to 290 points.
In third place, with 450, is Anastasaeon who did very, very well.
Second place goes to the impressive Troy McClure SF who got up to 910 points. No easy feat.
But first place was taken by storm by EvilAsh, who got up to a whopping 2,505 points. Wow. Congrats. You’re the winner of the Straightdope is going places contest.
Your prize is…well, free bragging rights. Heh. Nice going.
Great photos, everyone. Thanks all who played, took and submitted photos, and gave suggestions.
