    DS> Vincent Price played the games tycoon "Milton Parker" (a   
    DS> takeoff of Milton Bradley and Parker Brothers) in the   
    DS> movie "Scavenger Hunt". That was a funny movie.   
      
    AA> I will have to check that out.   
      
    As the contestants went out, one said "Eccentricity isn't illegal,   
   but it sure is a pain in the @$$".    
      
    One of the item clues was "To mention it, is not very dapper. It    
   was invented by a man named Crapper. John Crapper to be exact". The   
   item was a toilet.   
      
    Another item was a microscope. This one female character (truly   
   the definition of a dumb blonde) asked what it did...and was told   
   "It can see things very small...like your brain".    
      
    Then, another scene had these 2 go in to rob the place. The thing    
   was, they took the cash register drawer, but left all of the money    
   behind.    
      
    Yet another scene had the item of a tank of nitrous oxide (laughing   
   gas). The van was weaving erratically, and the people inside were   
   "laughingly drunk". So, the cop pulls them over, and he goes inside   
   to investigate. Apparently, "a policeman's uniform" was one of the   
   items, and the cop (now drunk from the laughing gas, and half naked)    
   is saying "I'm going to lose my @$$ for this!!".    
      
    The people were to go on a Scavenger Hunt, and they could acquire   
   the items in any way, except by purchase. The one who got the most   
   items would win the money in the estate.   
      
    AA> The Scavenger Hunt title reminds me of the film CLUE.   
      
    AA> Some of the lines were really funny. I really liked the scene   
    AA> where they are guessing how many bullets have already been used.   
    AA> "That's 1 plus 2 plus 1 plus 1.., No, that's 1 plus 2 plus 2 plus 1.."   
      
    Almost sounds like a takeoff of "Who's On First?" that was made   
   famous by Abbott and Costello...then ventriloquist Jeff Dunham did   
   a similar deal with "Peanut" on him "changing the wi-fi passwords".   
      
    In high school in south Florida over 40 years ago, 2 classmates   
   dressed up as baseball players to do the "Who's On First?" routine.   
   They said it took them 3 weeks to practice it, and keep a straight   
   face all the way through.   
      
    There was a later clip on YouTube, with Jimmy Kimmel, Billy   
   Crystal, and Jerry Seinfeld.
