THESE FORUMS NOW CLOSED (read only)

As has been well publicised, there are currently some people in Toronto committing vast amounts of webcest. Obviously, in the spirit of forum communism they have to share the fun around so I am turning Tronnocon into a multimedia user-participation extravaganza.
People of Toronto, furnish me with evidence of:
1) A menu from a restaurant.
2) A photo of yourself with a bouncer/doorman.
3) A note on official paper from your hotel (note must not be written by a forumite).
4) Another forumite's underwear, without their knowledge.
5) A photo of two or more forumites playing sport in a sports shop, with borrowed equipment. The more elaborate the better.
-
6) A picture of yourself with someone who resembles another forumite, but really isn't.
(this is possible. We've seen Julia and Lunchy lookalikes in Boston before)
7) Tommy in a Manchester United shirt
-
Number 3 will be tough because Tommy is the only one in a hotel at the moment.
Otherwise God bless you Pete I will do everything in my power to make this happen.
-
8.) Forumites wearing each others clothing - and I don't mean just hats and jackets
-
9) Evidence of yourself giving candy to a small child.
10) A forumer. Upside down.
-
12) A comical photograph involving at least 3 of the following things:
a monument or statue.
a small dog.
a top hat.
an attempt at a human pyramid.
a mascot for a sports team.
a sleeping bag.
an electronic device of any description.
13) The tackiest, nastiest, cheapest and outright most awful piece of tourist tat you can find.
-
8.) Forumites wearing each others clothing - and I don't mean just hats and jackets
I want to do this. Who else will do this one with me?
Along with Johnny, I will try my hardest to do this.
-
If the previous scavenger hunt is any indication, Edith is the only one who will do this.
-
SHE CAN NOT DO IT ALONE
-
Joe if that's your attitude I'm not sure I want to attend Chicagocon.
-
I also happened to be one of the few who actually followed through in the previous scavenger hunt. There were lots of people who said they would take pictures, but only 4 of us who actually did.
Incidentally, is maiAda at Tronnocon? I forget, she was also one of the Awesome Quartet™.
EDIT: In reviewing the scavenger hunt thread, I see there was more participation than I seem to remember. Still, only 4 of us really stuck with it past like a single spurt of pictures and finished most of the list.
-
I wish I was there, I would rock this so hard. Eed better do this or I will be all hells of disappointed.
-
14) A series of photos documenting a hopscotch game and an argument resulting from it.
-
16) A host (more than 5) forumites, each drinking a drink of a different colour.
-
Joe if that's your attitude I'm not sure I want to attending Chicagocon.
This is the best possible consequence of this thread.
-
guys. a scavenger hunt? srsly? we are having a hard enough time making it back to the hostel alive. a scavenger hunt is totally beyond our abilities.
-
Yeah this is suddenly impossible. :(
-
If this had been posted on wednesday, we could have done it.
And if I'd gone, I would've gotten #7, by force if necessary.
-
Yeah this is suddenly impossible. :(
Yeah. And most of those things wouldn't be easy even if we'd had advance.
Meaning you guys are coming up with lame stuff. I liked Ali's suggestion, but that's it really.
-
Wait so why is this suddenly impossible? I am confused. I mean, I cannot play because I did not bring a camera. But seriously?
-
you guys are silly! Things which you can Easily Do:
- swap some piece of clothing!
- go to a restaurant!
- take a picture with a bouncer!
- ask tommy to steal some hotel paper!
- giving candy to a child!
- doing a handstand! [upsidedown]
-
INTENSE FAILURE ON THE PART OF ALL PARTIES.
-
TRONNOCON MOAR LIKE NOFUNCON AM I RIGHT

URITE

6) A picture of yourself with someone who resembles another forumite, but really isn't.
(this is possible. We've seen Julia and Lunchy lookalikes in Boston before)
I saw a Jodie lookalike on my way to work this morning.
-
We saw a Jodie lookalike. In fact, we hung out with her all day! Her name was Hannah!
-
Guys, we kind of tried this a bit halfheartedly because we didn't have access to Internet, but we got a couple of things!
A menu from a restaurant.
We got two! We actually went to quite a few restaurants but forgot to take pictures.

Another forumite's underwear, without their knowledge.
Jimmy was in the shower. Jodie and I explored.

Hannah dressed as Jodie. This totally counts.

These are Jimmy's boots.

This is Jimmy's jacket.

Shut up.
The tackiest, nastiest, cheapest and outright most awful piece of tourist tat you can find.
Well, I think Hannah took this one so I will leave it to her. However, I did buy this fantastic t-shirt.

A host of forumites, each drinking a drink of a different colour.
Well there is only three, but we didn't have rainbow drinks. Instead we had rainbow hair. (Lise had blue, Jimmy had purple, Jodie had red.)

SYDNEY WINS
-
Toronto just got owned.
-
Not really. We were too busy actually doing stuff and having fun to remember to take pictures for the rest of the internet. Sorry to burst your bubble.
-
I bought a fucking incredible shirt for my brother. Tommy has a picture of it.
-
I dunno, Tronno pictures just seem to indicate people gave their livers something to do, while Sydney pictures seem to show people doing things?
-
See we didn't really worry about taking photos for the Internet. We would have taken those pictures anyway. All of us had cameras out! It was great!
None of us got drunk. Aztex and Jimmy had a beer with lunch one day but none of us are real big drinkers.
Also the list came from what we sort of remembered from checking the interbutts in the morning before leaving, that is why we did not get so many and some were a bit wrong.
Sorry, Katie. Geez.
-
Katie lashes out when she feels inadequate
-
Aztex and Lise had a beer with lunch one day but none of us are real big drinkers.
Fixed (I had a chocolate milkshake!).
Not really. We were too drunk to remember to take pictures and be as awesome as the Australians.
Also fixed.
-
13) The tackiest, nastiest, cheapest and outright most awful piece of tourist tat you can find.

Here we have a Kangaroo Scrotum bottle opener. It is still furry! It is terrible.
-
OH! I remember those! I got one for my brother! They are by default the worst-ever souvenir thing!
-
I would like it noted that Rachel and I had more fun than either of you con people! We slept in a tent!
-
If I take a photo of Liz's underwear while she's in the shower, does that count?
-
Man, it was like 95 degrees this weekend. The ground was not what I would call cold.
-
Dogg, camping is the funnest thing.
-
Funny? Yeah, right. When I was young (10 or so) I was taken camping; I first heard Beethoven's Fifth Symphony on a portable radio (with valves!) in a field while being stung by wasps, and then there was a rainstorm in the night and I was flooded out of my tent. And the less said about my experiences in the school CCF (sorry - don't know equivalent terms outside the UK) the better. The basis for a fulfilled life of happy camping, those...
-
Wait for my photos!
i'm still waiting, you racist bastard.
-
I'm uploading mine, but as Tommy took about a million pictures, I only have 20 or so and are really random. I will link them in the tronno thread when they are done.
-
i am glad you like them! i feel much more at ease now. the way i feel about people who have never had brownies in their life is more or less equivalent to the way baptists feel about godless heathens who have never allowed jesus to come into their soul. it is comforting to know that you are Saved now.
-
Who hasn't ate brownies?
The fuck?
-
Shit....your brownies.
I love the brownies that you made for me. I'm eating them right now.
Best pagebreak ever.
-
I show my appreciation of a good joke with respectful silence.
-
If I take a photo of Liz's underwear while she's in the shower, does that count?
Maybe not, but it could be useful.
...for things....
...
what
-
If I take a photo of Liz's underwear while she's in the shower, does that count?
I knew it was a bad idea to stay with Joe Hocking...
