DAMN YOU WILL WESTIN V!!!
Our plans have been foiled. We never wanted to give you the list. We wanted to watch it burn and to watch you cry. And we would have succeeded, too, if it hadn't been that rogue Judge we left for dead in the U.P. DAMN YOU!!!

Presser
Hey Folks,
I did an interview for the ray-deeo this morning for CBS News in Dallas (yes, Scav Hunt has now done Dallas!). Not sure when it will air, if I find out, I'll let you all know. I'm sure it will be posted on their website in the next couple of days. I wonder how the audience will take the story about the umbilical cord and the twinkie?

Captains Listhost Slam
Each team has leaders. These leaders are called captains. these captains have an email listhost they share with us judges.
Recently, out of the blue, a high school team emailed us to say they wanted to join. We added them to the listhost and sent them an email asking for more information.
Meanwhile, somebody on the listhost decided there needed to be more trash talk. A judge confirmed this.
Turns out what you get when you ask scavvies for trash talk is limericks. Lots and lots of limericks. In fact so many limericks that within a few hours they had also sprouted a sonnet, a set of haikus and something I'd never heard of before called a villanelle.
Shortly after that, the high school team captain emailed us the following:
"Uhhh, on second thought, I don't think I'm participating. Thanks though.The e-mail list is enough to drive me away."
Darn high school kids just can't handle their poetry.

The Countdown Commenceth
Whoa. With the Captains-Judges Kickball Game/BBQ (the Littlefeet were victorious over the Bigfeet) now over, things are starting to heat up. We welcome you all to a new tradition (tradition!) within the Judging community, the Fourdays Blog. From here we the Judges will be proffering our wit, wisdom and commentary about the 22nd annual University of Chicago Scavenger Hunt, the world's largest and most adored Scavenger Hunt. We have so many special and exciting things planned this year, I imagine the grin I have on my face right now will remain there throughout the week. Please check back for postings throughout the week and the Hunt to come!
