IRON SCAV

The 2008 Spring Classic: MAY 3 (start time TBA, awards ceremony and drunken tomfoolery begins at 8 PM)
Linda's Bar & Grill, 203 E Franklin St., Chapel Hill

IRON SCAV is Chapel Hill's most socially illegal photo scavenger hunt. Founded in 1995 by a crew of hooligans that has since been incarcerated or deported, IRON SCAV tests your cunning, your morals, and your endurance in a six-hour race to find the most ridiculous, most scandalous photographs possible. The last event, held in November 2007, saw Team What the Junk take home the big prize. Now that most of them are no longer on probation, the 2008 event promises new categories, more challenging photo stunts, and a wider array of reprehensible behavior.

One of the competing teams sent us an e-mail for clarification… and we thought their questions were so good, we’d share them with everybody. Wondering why some stuff is omitted? Probably because you need to register to get the scoop on this year’s new IRON SCAV character!

1. Are there extra points if more than one teammate is dressed up as this year’s mascot, REDACTED (cause I think one is enough)?

No… one per team is the safest allowable maximum.

2. Are there extra points if one teammate is REDACTED, and/or another teammate is Adult Diaper Cowboy, and/or another teammate is Toilet Paper Mummy?

You butter bo-lieve it.

3. I humbly request a ban on teams separating with more than one digital camera to cover more ground in less time.

We don’t have a problem with multiple cameras, especially since most shots will require the whole team.

4. I humbly request that no challenges involve accosting, molesting, and/or hoolinganizing non-combatants in their homes (including on their doorsteps)

We can’t promise anything, but our new mascot values the sanctity of the home above all else.

5. I humbly assert that teams locating other other team members’ homes and “leaving their mark” on their front doors be a way to earn more points (just like how you can earn points for getting a photograph of other team members while they are out)

We can’t promise anything, but Toilet Paper Mummy says, “Who wants to look at a bunch of pictures of front doors? If you violate their bedrooms, then I’m interested.”
