I have a weird blog layout.
I mean, I like the background — miniature takeout menus. get it? Takeout?” And the font and randomized tagline have something to do with the takeout food industry — aside from the few taglines which don’t.
(By the way — if you have a tagline to suggest for the rotation — suggest it here.)
But I do have a carryover from my last blog — and that’s the random rotating header images. On the most part I used Google Earth and Microsoft “Live Maps” to come up with these, but some are pictures I found on the web, some of which were doctored a bit. But most of them are images from rather large metropolitan areas.
Let’s see if you can guess where each of these locations are…
(Yes. Some are obvious; some are not as obvious. Be as detailed as you can. Winner gets due praise on my blog.)
EDIT: Okay, campers — change of plans. People are asking about how they submit their answers without their neighbors copying off of their papers. Here’s the deal: Email me no later than Monday, April 21 with your answers to contest @ <this here blog name . com> I’ll tally results and post the answers on Tuesday.
(Oh — and click on each to enlarge)
I have about fifteen more. Let me know if this is interesting enough to do again…

Bah! I only know nine of them… maybe ten. When do we get the answers?
I know 5 for sure… but may be able to guess a couple more
All: I made a change to the post above, including an email address to which you can send your guesses by Monday, April 21. Good luck!
Here are my guesses:
1. That place we had to where we had to deal with the press and a parade on the same day.
2. Place where my college roommate is from (the one you’ve heard about but never met)
3. Place I’ve probably driven by and didn’t notice
4. Place that’s not the place I thought we went to – or did we?
5. Place in the place where we didn’t meet but almost did
6. Place I really want to go
7. Place where I was on my most recent business trip
8. Place I watched grow up
9. Place filled with drunken Dutchmen
10. Place that became a cake
11. Place we’ll be this weekend.
12. Super secret spy place
13. Place we’ll see soon
14. Place I’ll be in the coming weeks
15. That crazy big ass hill you made me hike up to the top of while we were on our honeymoon that I’m still not sure I’ve forgiven you for almost 10 years later.
Dave, you know 9 OF THEM??? Hell, I travel all the time too, and I didn’t know any of them but the arch. That was McDonald’s right?
I like this. You should keep doing it.
Absurdist’s last blog post..Mini-blog: 20Q Calendar Lineup
socKs: You’re twisted. Very twisted. You’ll get your prize off-blog…
Absurdist: I couldn’t get both arches in the shot. Maybe next time
Oh — and I’ll only do this again if people actually submit their answers to contest at Shiny’s Takeout dot com! So far I’ve received zero entries. If people have emailed, please let me know ASAP so I can figure out if there’s a problem receiving mail to that address…
[...] not — because I don’t have any fabulous prizes to give away (yet). The pictures are here, and you can submit your guesses to contest at shiny stakeout dot com. I haven’t received any [...]
