Modern Buddy

Sounds good, Syd. I had been playing the game as though it was to be something you find during a ride on the scooter. Truth be told, that night I took pics of the scoot in front of a neon 'SKATE' sign, a fuel tractor trailer at a gas station, but when I saw that baby bottle, I thought Wow, now that's a hell of a thing.
I recall the discussion way back in the game about a Spiderman figure that had been found during some folk's ride, and was then posed with the scooter. The discussion went back and forth about whether or not an item found on a ride could then be posed with the scooters, hence my saying that I didn't touch or move that bottle at all.

Thank you for your kind words. No hard feelings over here. We all like this game, and so imagine my chagrin at causing a hassle in it.

In any event, I think thewifie should get the tag, and then choose the next tag for the game - the 'random' on the bottle was awesome!

Yeah!!! Hope I make you guys proud with my first tag!!

You'll do fine.

Let's see it, thewife. We are all waiting with bated breath!

If someone has one, please don't wait for me. Have guests this week and haven't been on as many rides as I thought I would be. I don't want to hold the game up.

I like it......
BTW: The basket, I searched for months, maybe years, for the right basket, and you found yours within mere weeks of buddy ownership!
Good job!

I'm not claiming this tag, but if no one else does by noon or so, I'll post the next one.

Anyway, if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I am guilty.

Alright then. I'll take the baby bottle tag. Here's the next tag:

Main St. Every (almost) town's got one, so take a picture of your scoot with a Main St sign.


I will accept Center (Central), Front St, or a street sign that shows that you are on the street where numbering begins.

Ahhhh! I was just near a Main st.

The Main St. looks like a image edit to me...I doubt that is actually Main St.

But I'll accept that (not much of a) challenge today!

You should have made the tag "Random jellyfish" What is that by your left mirror?

That's the result of the flash firing.

Must be a plastic bag. It was pretty windy yesterday afternoon; I honestly never noticed it. Ha.

Main Street sign Lee, Massachusetts!

Next tag coming up shortly...

Although I like the "random jellyfish" or "plastic bag floating by" idea, I'm going with this one...

Your scooter and some form of water droplets suspended in air. I give you some fog rising from the field in the early morning but there are many options that would meet the criteria.

Does 'pouring rain' count? (Not that I'm likely to see that in PHX.)

Visible rain would be falling, not technically "suspended" but if someone wants to go out in a downpour to take the scooter tag I'd award the effort with approval.

Fog, steam, mist, rainbows or even clouds would work -- with clouds as the low bar.

Now I have an excuse to ride back down to Niagara Falls.. plenty of mist there

It rained very little this morning where I live but I was more focused on not falling than getting a pic. Maybe I should just look for someone watering their lawn.

Would falling snow count?

I'll accept falling snow, it can fall pretty slowly and almost seem suspended in air.

Remember, a picture of a scooter with a cloud in the sky behind it shouldn't be too hard to find pretty much anywhere.

I don't want to drag the game down, it isn't a random baby bottle or anything crazy.

in front of sprinklers at a gas station:



next tag - in front of an insurance sign:



(i was going to say "in front of a sign with a dubious double meaning" but i wasn't sure how many other people's minds are as bent as mine )

*edited, sorry for the gigantor images :-p

Insurance:



And the new tag....
Your scooter with some kind of memorial that honors veterans

Nice Memorial Day idea, SL.

thanks Syd

There is a memorial in the next city, I'm going to take lil ride over there tomorrow for the pic.

Here we Go! The memorial for Soldiers...


and my tag will be; in front of a classic pizza joint!

Really?! a pizza place is slowing this down? (I like the easier ones so I am not knocking the pizza place as a subject)

Someone go grab this & lets keep playing

Is there an easy way to post pics from my phone on here??

jonesygirl wrote:Is there an easy way to post pics from my phone on here??

Not directly from a phone.... not that I have figured out.
I thought I had it figured out with google drive a few days ago but it didnt work on MB - only showed the link, not the pic.
Anyone have this figured out?

a "classic pizza place" . . not just a Little Caesar's or a Pizza Hut, methinks.

Should I change the tag?

YaBoySL wrote:Should I change the tag?

I dont think yet - If no one post up in the next day or so I will post one up - I was just giving other people a chance to play so I didnt want to jump on it.

Ok... I am off to the black hills (not on my scooter) so I will have to leave this tag to someone else
Have fun

How about just a vintage food sign in general? Non-food specfic? Will this work? I've included my next tag just in case.

The old Krispy Kreme sign in Atlanta on Ponce de Leon, and *bingbingbing* the bonus AWESOME Kodak sign in the background. I hope that sign never gets destroyed.

Next Tag: Your scoot precariously parked. Or, someone parked precariously near your scoot.

I'm good with a general food sign just because that Kodak sign is amazing!

YaBoySL wrote:I'm good with a general food sign just because that Kodak sign is amazing!

Right?!? It is! And it is much larger than this picture portrays. Yay! Thanks! I really did try to find a classic pizza joint, but I just couldn't.

whats the current challenge?

Someone parked precariously close to your scooter.

oh, shoot!! how in the heck do you post pics on here? (yes, i'm a newbie here....but, would like to play this awesome game!!)

The easiest way is to setup an account at a photo sharing service like photobucket, or flickr. You then upload your image there, get the direct link to the photo from the service (it'll be something along the lines of http://www.photoshare.com/accts/youracct/whatever.jpg), then use the img button before you paste the url you got above and the img button again after you paste the url.

Once you get it setup, its a lot easier than that looks, trust me.

To avoid having another account on yet another website, I just use the "Add An Attachment" feature on here. It shows up at the bottom of the "Post Reply" composition page. You may have to resize your photo, but that's no biggie

True, but there is a per user limit to the number or total size of attachments that can be made (not sure which). Plus, I think resource-wise, attachments require more of MB than links to images do (but don't quote me on that).

so, this is what i get when i try to post a pic.....

the image doesn't come up...just the link. i used to pride myself on being a computer geek, but i'm stumped on this one. i tried it with picasa, too, and the same thing happens.




ooh!!! after several edits, i think i've got it!! (thanks to the next post!!)

so, here's my precariously parked scoot....guess i should've had the next tag ready to go. oops.

On the Flickr page click Share then Grab the BBCode Then click BBCode that should give you a bunch of stuff to copy and paste.

thanks, john!! you're a genius!!

ok...so, now i think i've got this under control.

here's my precariously parked scoot...

Here ya go:



Next: Your scoot with a junked aircraft (not a bird on static display):


Grumman C1 by PeteH, on Flickr

This is actually a local body shop that for some reason has a bunch of old, dead planes and helicopters in their yard: http://goo.gl/maps/0Pps

Too bad I don't live in Tucson, I could get a pic of the Davis Montham Airbase boneyard. Miles an miles of 'retired' military planes.

Lol I was thinking of the same thing too.

Yeah, I had DM ARC in mind for our Tuscon friends. 's why I said 'junked', not flyable-storage. Actually, I would be really impressed if someone could get their scoot in to where the B-52s are actually cut up (and pieces left out for the Russkies to satellite-verify our treaty obligations), but I understand that's a HIGHLY-secured area.
