41/50
(3/7/19)
9. Cheer - Cameras large and small flashed and clicked as the happy couple paused in the porch and smiled out upon the assembled villagers, some of whom, although not present in the church for the ceremony, had gathered in the churchyard to cheer and tug their forelocks in respect, and as a way of getting an hour or so off work with hopes of a free drink or two. (p 44)
14. Cow - By manipulating the object with my fingers in a milking-the-cow movement, I was able to slide whatever it was along until it fell out - with a plop! - onto the floor. (p 309)
15. Enjoy - "Mrs. Richardson said we would quite enjoy meeting her." (p 185)
16. Entertainment - In spite of Cynthia's fears, every single soul from Bishop's Lacey and beyond seemed to have crammed themselves into the parish hall for an evening of instructive entertainment. (p 388)
17. Exhibit - Written on the underside of the white bone, in professionally small, neat letters of black ink, such as you might see on an exhibit at the Natural History Museum were several letters: A.C.D. (p 270)
20. Food + 21. First- Meaning, of course, that in the absence of external wounds, the last thing taken by mouth, either food or drink, ought to be the first thing analyzed. (p 135)
22. Fried - The lenses, I knew, would make my eyes seem like an enormous and unpalatable pair of fried eggs that had gone badly off-colour. (p 431)
25. Game - And I must say that he seems to have been remarkably successful at his game. (p 120)
26. Gate - An ancient green MG with a blatting exhaust was looming at the lych-gate, and a young man extracted himself gingerly from the low-slung cockpit. (p 32)
27. Goat - A child offering whose blood was to be transfused into the old goat? (p 114)
29. House - The knife with which the cake was to be cut had been loaned by the vicar: a wicked-looking thing more suited to the foggy back streets of Limehouse than a country-house wedding. (p 48)
31. Jam/Jelly - The pantry was what you would expect to find in the house of a lady who lived alone: bread, jam, a few bottled preserves, tinned meat (ugh!), butter, a quart of milk in an ancient icebox - in which the ice was almost completely melted, a few stalks of rhubarb wrapped in newspaper (The Times, dated ten days ago), a cabbage, and three windfall apples, judging by their skin. (p 136)
Might she have contracted some horror, of a subequatorial plague which had turned her bones and muscles to a quivering jelly, making her able to walk only with the support of this dreadful makeshift outer skeleton of wire and cane? (p 198)
32. Joy - Just as some people are given the gift of a singular and often quite remarkable talent - such as Violet Cornish's uncanny ability to break wind to the tune of "Joy to the World" - I myself, in much the same way, have been blessed with the power of logical thinking. (p 22)
35. Music - In spite of its melancholy words, the music was that of hope, ever and ever higher, ever and ever more haunting. (p 40)
36. Party - After a lenghty conversation with someone at the other end, which consisted mostly of: "Yes... yes... yes... no... no..." and so forth, with the receiver cup pressed tightly to her ear to prevent us from hearing the other party, she hung up the phone. (p 111)
38. Pig - "He's a member of the Guinea Pig Club." (p 31)
39. Place - A church is a wonderful place for a wedding, surrounded as it is by the legions of the dead, whose listening bones bear silent witness to every promise made - and broken - at the altar. (p 36)
42. Roll + 47. Tent - Dogger had helped her roll the heavy cake into the pantry on a tea trolley, where it had languished for weeks under a tent of netting, waiting to be iced at the last moment. (p 68)
43. Second - With the second cut Feely seemed to be struggling a bit at the task. (p 49)
44. Smells - "Smells like coffee," Dogger observed, pointing at the cup. (p 135)
45. State - Dieter was taking her on a tour of musical shrines in Germany, culminating with two weeks in Vienna, with visits to the State Opera and the birthplace of Mozart. (p 58)
48. Third - "We can still see quite clearly, in its lateral aspect, the two small distinguishing facets which interface with the third metacarpal bone." (p 54)
50. Win "Do I win my bet?" (p 103)
(3/9/19)
2. Animals - I used to say to my classes that the ways to get insight are: to study infants; to study animals; to study primitive people; to be psychoanalysed; to have a religious conversion and get over it; to have a psychotic episode and get over it. (p 51)
4. Booth - "Her maiden name was Booth." (p 277)
6. Cakes - We don't bake these cakes ourselves but our boss tells us that customers are more likely to buy them if they think we do. (p 50)
8. Celebrate - I called Ingrid and inivited her to share the dorado with me to celebrate freeing Pablo's dog. (p 147)
10. Chicken - "He's the sort of man who would pluck a chicken while it's still alive." (p 20)
19. Ferris wheel - A decaying Ferris wheel stood abandoned in the desert like an open mouth, a last, cheap laugh. (p 361)
30. Ice cream - His Mohican had been dyed green and he had his foot pressed against a plastic pump while he devoured an ice cream. (p 91)
33. Lemonade - "Do you want to come over to our house and taste my lemonade?" (p 100)
46. Swing - I looked away and gazed instead at a rusty child's swing that had been hammered into the coarse sand. (p 49)
49. Vegetables - My mother was about to drive us to a Sunday market near the airport to buy fruit and vegetables for the week. (p 158)
(3/12/19)
28. Hotdog - It was one of those moments I prayed I looked cool and nonchalant, leaning against the trash cans that smelled like old hot dogs and wet dog hair. (loc 1829)
41. Rides - I'd never gone to Disneyland, never ridden on any of their rides, but I imagined that the Tower of Terror felt exactly like this moment... pure horror and then suddenly weightlessness. (loc 11)
(3/17/19)
23. Fun - "That wasn't no fun," Grandma said. (p 108)
37. Pies - "They had apple pies in there," she said. (p 307)
(3/24/19)
11. Concession - "Tank lost him," Ranger said, moving toward one of the concession stands. (p 312)
40. Popcorn - "He's getting one last tub of popcorn for the ride home, and then we're going to start to waddle out to his car." (p 281)

MARCH 2019 - SCAVENGER HUNTSTATE FAIR
·Post 19 *FINISHED*
45/50
AMUSEMENT - #6 (loc 2397, 59%)
"Have you finally lost your tiny mind?" "She thinks there's a sleeper on her," Siret said, and it was clear he was trying to keep the amusement from his voice. "We've been through this before."
ANIMALS - #5 (loc 2861, 80%)
Stella didn't have any stuffed alligators, but she had plenty of stuffed animals that could be alligators with the right noses and tails made out of construction paper.
BLUE (RIBBON) - #15 (loc 4260, 63%)
The couple-a human woman and her blue-skinned Bellatani mate-were wrapped around each other. Like literally. The Bellatani had four arms that he used to stroke and pet his new mate.
BOOTH - #13 (loc 2285, 39%)
Then they'd all be back in the studio, in an antiseptic booth, nothing but his own voice playing back on a loop to tell him whether it was any good or not.
BUMPER CARS
CAKES - #6 (loc 3067, 75%)
She lifted back the cloth on top, showing breads, cheeses, fruits, and cakes.
CANDY APPLE - #4 (loc 1486, 33%)
I stepped into the bathroom, picked up a tube of candy apple red lipstick, and applied it to my lips.
CELEBRATE - #14 (loc 846, 25%)
"Babe, she's growing up in New Orleans. The home of jazz funerals," Logan said. "And there are lots of cultures that celebrate at funerals rather than cry."
CHEER - #5 (loc 1681, 47%)
It made him want to cheer and fist-pump and strip her down and push her up against the wall.
CHICKEN - #7 (loc 1721, 23%)
For two weeks he slept with a two-pound package of boneless, skinless chicken breasts on his junk because he refused to sacrifice a live chicken.
CONCESSION - #8 (loc 4065, 60%)
He believed he'd made many concessions. "Now, you may thank me."
CORN DOG
COTTON CANDY
COW - #12 (loc 3770, 76%)
He replies instantly with a gif of a cow ramming its head into a fence. Which wouldn't be funny if the cow wasn't wearing a uniform horn and and farting glitter every time its head rams the fence.
ENJOY - #8 (loc 2915, 44%)
He had not realized his mate was so bloodthirsty. He could enunciate every method of killing should she enjoy that.
ENTERTAINMENT - #11 (loc 2644, 78%)
"The last time I saw her, she was standing beside the prince, watching our sentencing like she thought it was the best form of entertainment she'd ever seen."
EXHIBIT - #13 (loc 3693, 62%)
Keeping Johnny warm was the first priority if he was in shock, and he was exhibiting textbook symptoms of shock.
FAIRGROUND
FERRIS WHEEL
FIRST - #4 (loc 614, 13%)
I lay down concerned about two things. First-that I might contract some sort of STD just by touching the comforter.
FOOD - #1 (loc 3294, 55%)
Toni text Kyle back, informing him that it was definitely illegal to put anything in anyone's food that "might make them, ya know…kinda sick."
FRIED - #1 (loc 5084, 85%)
"My momma's award-winning fried chicken. And you'll hear that award-winning part more than you want to."
FUN - #2 (loc 602, 14%)
I was going to have one last night of fun in town-after all, I did love New Orleans-and then I was going to leave.
FUNNEL CAKE - #7 (loc 6832, 95%)
"I brought you a sample of my new edible lotion. It's funnel cake flavor. I figured you and Carter-boy could spice it up by playing dirty carnie and innocent fair-goer."
GAME - #11 (loc 1384, 42%)
I can play this narrow-eye challenge game all day, buddy. Oops, I blinked. Dammit.
GATE - #1 (loc 473, 8%)
Studying his brother, Dee-Ann's head tipped to the side. "He's trying to chew through the gate…with his human teeth."
GOAT - #7 (loc 429, 6%)
Every guy she talked to made her and Jim do a shot every time they said the words "goat testicles." Honestly, i had no idea how that word came up in their conversation so many damn times.
HOTDOG - #13 (loc 3010, 51%)
Johnny could smell her cooked flesh, like hot dogs on the grill. It made him want to throw up, but he was terrified of what might come out if he opened his mouth again.
HOUSE - #1 (loc 1327, 22%)
"Hey, Bert," she said, keeping her voice soft and soothing, like when she had to talk Cherise down from the roof of the house where she'd gone after panicking because the FedEx guy asked her to sign for a package.
ICE CREAM - #4 (loc 2285, 51%)
I felt like a little girl who'd witnessed her uneaten ice cream cone fall to the ground.
JAM/JELLY - #7 (loc 7035, 98%)
My dad raised his eyebrows at Drew's shirt that read, "Jam out with your clam out."
JOY - #6 (loc 2350, 58%)
I wasn't looking at Emmy, but i knew her eyes would be lit up right now with pure joy and excitement.
LEMONADE - #9 (loc 52, 14%)
I brought the cold glass of lemonade to my mouth and took a long drink.
MIDWAY - #4 (loc 2625, 59%)
Without hesitation, I slipped from the branch and fell the fifty feet. Midway down, I released the arrow still trained on Hamish.
