JFo’s Birthday Scafunjer Hunt
My coworker JFo sure knows how to have fun. For his 34th birthday celebration, he put together the most elaborate scavenger hunt competition, and I was lucky (?) enough to be invited. It seemed daunting (see the rules here while it’s up), but I said what the heck.
I was crammed in a car driving around for most of the day, I spent more money than I planned to, and the judging phase lasted waaaay too long. Worst of all, our team didn’t even come close to winning. In fact, we came 13th out of the 15 teams that participated.
But you know what? I had lots of fun. I got to do some things I had never done before, like:
- Caught a fish at the Pike Place Market
- Learned about the existence of and background story behind West Seattle’s Constellation Park
- Crushed Lucretia while wearing a sumo costume
- Rode the famous SLUT
…and on and on. We didn’t win but we sure beat the crap out of the Careless Bears, and that’s something I’ll have with me for the rest of my life!

Man…I’ve always wanted to do this. I need to surround myself with more “arty” people.
