Scavenger Hunt Bingo Deadpool III

Well done Banana! Feels surreal to see one of these games conclude in under a year.

[Toast 16,146]

Wow, that was quick. 

Pleased to have got within one corpse of winning.  Looking forward (with some trepidation) to the next selection of categories.

You're very good at nearly winning! 2nd in both the first 2 games and down to the last pick in this one! Always the bridesmaid...

Congrats @Banana 

 

Presumably @Dying Probably will be changing their name. After coming close last SH2, I'm back to the same form as SH1.

 

Not Dying Probably.

Thanks everyone! It was certainly a stressful week for this pool. 
 

I should get the 5 categories done this week. I got a few in mind already.

If we can get the categories out this week the pool will start 1st June

[Banana 859]

I have some categories I'm mulling over but if anyone has any interesting categories that they'd like to suggest DM me.

 

I already have an "actors in x" category so please don't send me any of those.

My gawd, don't think I know many of the actors in that: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118200/ 

 

Go wild, go esoteric, go something with a Wiki reference to make it easier.

[Bibliogryphon 9,588]

Just cleared my message inbox which was 90% full in preparation for all those entries

[Toast 16,146]

And when the new thread is opened, would everyone please remember to give the gamerunner time to set up the first few posts for scoreboard, lists of teams/picks etc.

I'm keeping my five nightmare categories for the next game so I can't lend you one.

I had one category in mind had one of my boxers gone last round. It was an actors one, so on that basis, I'm out!

Damn. I thought a stunning, large HD picture of Meghan Markle would be a very welcome sight as the first post in Scavenger Hunt IV. 

 

Hmm..

You seem to be obsessed with that woman.

Worry not, I’m sure the first post by YoungWillz in this thread pained us to both in equal measures. I would do no such thing!

Point of clarification and that's what you remember about this thread? Oh really.....

Congratulations Banana on a great win.

 

I can't believe that of the five categories, I fell short in the Eurovision one. I actually felt at the start that my best chance of winning was all 5 hits in that category! Mind you, I also felt that the game would go on for 2-3 years, but the James Bond curse seems to have caught us all by surprise.

I do understand that it must have felt terribly urgent to have that information on July 20th for a competition starting on September 1st.

My Eurovision unique Franco Battiato will sing no more

Italian music legend Franco Battiato dies aged 76 (timesofmalta.com)

 

So, in a pool that should last about 2-3 years, I managed to tick all the boxes in 8 1/2 months, and still only managed to finish second, by about 5 weeks.

@An Fear Beag... You're not a lucky person...  

But... It's not bad.  

There's going to be a lot worse days than this.

Vladimir Shatalov now also sees me crossing the finish line:

Close, but no cigar.
