The Incredible Challenge Factory Scavenger Hunt, Part X

[Paris]

Sorry I'm late Zuzana. Yes merry go round would work.

And no one has asked, but receptionist would work for secretary or even administrative assitant would work.

[VNerdbooks]

Hi Paris me again sorry :•D
is Beret ok on its own or does it have to be a green beret?

[VNerdbooks]

And would beauty parlour be ok for Beautician?

[Paris]

I prefer either an actual green beret (hat or person) but if you can't find those by the end I'll take just beret.

I guess it's safe to assume there's a beautician at a beauty parlor so sure

[VNerdbooks]

Ok thanks Paris.

Update post #19

[Marla]

Boy, this is a tough list, I am not doing too well. I've got 14 out of 40 half way through the challenge time frame.

[Paris]

I'm not doing as well as I had hoped either Marla. Some of them are really tough. I think I might make the next one a tad easier. lol

[Marla]

LOL!!!

[VNerdbooks]

Update post #19 A Canadian

[VNerdbooks]

Update post #19 A Green Beret Yeah!

[Paris]

Yay on the Green Beret Vicci. I had a yellow beret in a book the other day. Lame.

[VNerdbooks]

Haha i heard it while I was in the bath so I got out and rewound it lol.
It's becoming an obsession!

[Marla]

I saw macaroons in the store today and sighed... :D

I just have not been reading contemporary books, so I'm not finding anything!

[VNerdbooks]

Lol Marla, I can't count how many times I've read some of the words and grabbed my phone to note them down, and then realised I'm reading the morning paper lol.

[VNerdbooks]

On another note I'm watching a film with Matthew McConaughey **fan self down**
I may be some time girls lol.

[Marla]

LOL what are you watching? I do like him, though he's not really my type.

[VNerdbooks]

He isn't mine usually but with his blonde hair in A Time To Kill I'm willing to make an exception lol.

[VNerdbooks]

And the accent.......sigh..... the accent **swoon

[Paris]

Yeah A Time to Kill is one of his better rolls as far as hotness factor. That accent does work.

I do the same thing when seeing/hearing words in other places. Drives me bonkers. I have yet to ever actually finish a complete list and I've been doing these since the first one I think.

[Marla]

Oh, Paris, I'm so sorry, good for you that you keep at it!

I first did the Incredible Challenge Factory Scavenger Hunt 2011 as a Second Chance challenge and I quit after 1 year, when I still could not find a blasted tire swing! And I drive by 2 swings in my neighborhood everyday and they still mock me!

[Paris]

hahaha Marla...that's totally what it's like. Every time I see something from a previous list that I didn't get I actually feel like it's mocking me. So glad I'm not alone...but I'm also sorry that you have to deal with it too.

The worst thing now is that I'm one of the people coming up with things to search for and I still can't finish the list.

[VNerdbooks]

I will get Eggs Benedict if it kills me !!!!!!

[Marla]

I found 2 things yesterday!!! The book goddess heard me complaining and answered my whining. :D

You are not going to believe this...I found a tire swing! In Shiver and I can't believe that no one told me or used this during that challenge. So, 15 months later...I finally finished that 2011 list. Ha, ha.

There's eggs benedict in the Experiment in terror series by Karina Halle, but in like book 6 or something. Good luck Vicci! I still have 10 items to find.

[VNerdbooks]

I might try that Paris, I read XO which is book 3 (not read the other 2 lol) just to have my X book for the spell it out haha.

[Turtlecollector Dennis]

Eggs benedict is in Seduction in Death by J D Robb too, but that is in the middle of the series

[Turtlecollector Dennis]

I need to find macaroon and chicken dance.

[Paris]

Vicci, you better watch out for Ezi...she has some kind of attack when she hears about people reading books out of order. lol

TC, I found macaroon in which is good, but angsty. And then chicken dance is in which is hilarious.

[Marla]

Wow, I've found 12/40 and 7 of the bonus items...pathetic! But amazingly, I did find the chicken dance in .

[VNerdbooks]
