haha I bet this will be interesting. We should use Gnomer to post updates about the travels like they want us to. GL snorkel.

PS. If the checklist contains some less than desirable "missions" then please keep us folks on the last leg of the trip in mind. Laughing

Me: "Let's see, I've got shouting obscenities at law enforcement, naked twister party or bare knuckle boxing to choose from. Them's tough pickin's"


Oh, I will definitely keep you folks at the end leg in mind! Muhahahaha

 		Just speculatin' but I was thinking there be would specific things Choamsky wanted to do while in specific places. Like: "Philly girl, you take gnome to Liberty Bell. Accost tourists."

Not that I need instructions for that. Wink

Edit: oh, and look at this from Gnomeatic on the Gnomer thing:
Quote:
Boss officially said his goodbyes and departed a few hours ago. He's off to our first host! Oh, Choamsky also mentioned some extra stuff he'd like to do (of course, he did it after I locked up all of his stuff, along with the packet). It's only a few things, so I'll put it here:

Washington DC: A picture in front of the White House (his "future home", according to him), one at the Lincoln Memorial, and one in front of the J. Edgar Hoover building (if it won't get him arrested).

Ph


I wonder if the rest of that is "... iladelphia." Wink

edit2: hahaaha, the rest of it is this:

Quote:
Philadelphia: in front of the Liberty Bell. And eating a cheesesteak.

Florida: Somewhere in Disneyworld, if it's possible. (Otherwise, a famous spot in your town.)

Have fun, Choamsky!


I was going to take Choamsky for a genuine cheesesteak anyhow Wink

 		Choamsky has arrived.

With him a small packet of info regarding things he'd like to do ( and some things others would like to see him do ) Also, there is a list of group activities and I am not sure if I am supposed to post them or we are supposed to all work on them after we've all hosted Choamsky.

Will be posting pics this week as I show my guest the town.

I've been left to security here at IFILR headquarters by Choamsky. I've got this naggling feeling about something, so keep your eyes open.


I wonder if Richard might have found IFLIR HQ? Or maybe Giddings.

So true, the list is at home, its the group stuff is mostly things like propaganda, make a national anthem, etc.

Well except for the puzzle http://www.ifilr.org/puzzle/

Whoa, how'd I miss that one? When was that posted?

I dare to say those all look like dead drops... They are very specific locations, using GPS coordinates.

But some are quite off the beaten path and don't make sense for a dead drop: "D" is in the water just off a beach in Honolulu ... "C" is just outside Casablanca, Morocco ... "I" is in the middle of a road in Kuwait ...

The "Hm?" states:

Quote:
It's a puzzle for you, boss. Just remember: ifilr.org/{ }


...so we have to make something of all these locations and turn it in to a URL.

Oh yeah, just the puzzle. Ha. Wink

Okay, there are 10 locations:
A = middle of a forest, outside Halifax, NS, Canada.
B = someone's backyard, on W 29th St, Indianapolis, IN
C = edge of a field, Casablanca, Morocco
D = beach, Ala Moana, outside Honolulu, Hawaii
E = along a canal, Nakashima, Osaka, Japan

F = Charles St, Rundle Mall, downtown Adelaide, Australia
G = Storgatan Street, a residential street and cafe in Malmo, Sweden
H = an elbow road in a residential area in Sofia, Bulgaria
I = middle of Sixth Ring road, a desolate area in Kuwait
J = Nessgate / Clifford St / King St, York, England, United Kingdom

I was thinking it had something to do with Street View, but not all of them have Street View available. So, now I'm thinking it's the names of the places (somehow) or possibly something involving the shape of the landscape (layout of roads, for example).

Discuss. Wink

AH, why didn't the uF machine ask me to review vapor's post before I hit submit? :/

Heh, thanks. Once I got Casblanca, Honolulu, Oaska and Adedaile in a row I figured it was a capital letter puzzle (I think these are all capital cities so it was a capital letter puzzle in a different sense)
