The Wiry Hair of a Wooly Mammoth

Never been on one.

Can't say that I've ever taken part in a scavenger hunt, gus, but I do have a mammoth sized cat. Would the hair from him work ?

Eye of newt and toe of frog
Wool of bat and tongue of dog.

I've never been on one and now I'm really ticked off about it! This just so isn't fair!

Does an easter egg hunt count?

A copy of the Australian Womens Weekly without a royal on the cover!

nobody could find that one

A dog with 3 legs!
We bought a toy dog and performed surgery. It qualified

The price of macadamia nuts at the grocery store across town.

(Had to do that one in costume, too. Imagine me as the Queen of England, trailing my purple velvet, ermine-trimmed cape down the supermarket aisles.)

I've been on a scavenger hunt, but for the life of me, I can't remember any of the items we collected.

Must've been a good party.

I have only been on a scavenger hunt as a part of a pub crawl. I remember finding many bars and many drinks, but not much else.

I can actually picture this

Hmmm....(scratching head)....I think one of those orange traffic cones may have been one of items....

Hmmmm, I have a wooly mamouth eye round roast in the freezer left over the last ice age. Maybe we can take some of the dna to a local lab and have one duplicated. Meanwhile, I have a tailbone from a Tiber River saber tooth tiger. Could that be of any help?

Eva what kind of perfume would you wear?

That's interesting. Over the years I've known maybe a half dozen people who could make that claim.

It's getting dark here so I may have to set up the tent and continue the search in the morning. I thought I had found the wiry hair of a wooly mammoth but it turned out to be that of a marmoset.

As I examined the marmoset hair in the fading light, turning in and examining it carefully, I was beginning to suspect that it wasn't a wooly mammoth hair because of the thickness. I took out my micrometer and began to take measurements. At that point I heard a noise and turned to see an inquisitive marmoset sitting on a plant, observing me, apparently without fear......



I looked at the creature, then at the hair I had been examining, and realized I was in possession of a marmoset hair.

The search will begin anew in the morning.

There you go, here is the hair. Now you can sleep in tomorrow...

Thanks, Jane.

Interesting question. I would have said Chanel No. 5, but that's French. No self-respecting British monarch would be caught wearing something French, now would they. I wonder if there are any good perfumes created in England? Maybe one of our British friends knows?

Oh Eva, for you I would recommend Taylor's White Lilly of the Valley - Veddy Veddy English.

And while I am about it how about some useless information or the etymology of perfume -
from the french parfum, originally from the obselete Italian parfumare meaning "to smoke through".

Hmm. I wonder how far I'd have to travel to sample that scent.

Absolutely...tell us more about perfume (parfum)...

Eva, don't you even friggin' think about turning my wooly mammoth thread into a perfume discussion.
