Spacefreighters Lounge will be involved in a cross-blog Scavenger Hunt which will hopefully kick off early Sunday morning. Contestants will be given a list of blogs to visit and 'collect' words and clues, then form them into a sentence. The first to post the correct solution wins.

The prize list for the winner is growing rapidly. Stop by Scavenger Hunt Central to check out the details, prizes and updates:

Attention: Scavenger Hunters

EDITED: We have a WINNER! Thanks to everyone for joining the Great Scavenger Hunt contest. It was a lot of fun.

*whistles* Hey, over here!

Yes, you've found the post with another piece of our Scavenger Hunt puzzle, but you'll have to work for it a bit.

To collect this word, you'll need to know a bit of movie trivia.

In the movie Conan the Barbarian (the original), the hero loses his love interest, Valeria, after she is hit by an arrow that is really a poisonous snake. What does the villain whisper to the snake before he turns it into the disgusting projectile? That's your root word. Then add an "ing" to the end.

Oh, BTW, this post also includes a freebie. ;) There's another Scavenger word in the text above. Hints: We made a bold move. Do you think it might stand out? There could be a larger purpose to it. *winkwink*

Wondering what this post is all about? There's a cross-blog Scavenger Hunt underway. Read the details at http://www.toasted-scimitar.blogspot.com/
There are lots of great prizes for the winner. You're welcome to join in the fun. Just stop by the blog for rules and clues.
