if. that's why this is an invitation only thread. so far, you and terry are the only eligible candidates, frosti.
actually i'm trying to figure out how i want to go about the selection process. do i want a rigourous screening process or do i want to throw all potential geminis in one cage and the sagittarii in another and put a couple of cage matches on pay per view.
Just thought I'd let you all know what I learned today.
My friend who works for the PP asked Peluso today about the coolercrew.com site. The word is that it's not coming back. It's not part of the plan of the Knight-Ridder folks. I've emailed Greg about all the finer details of the conversation and will let you all know when I know more.
Peluso did tell her that he had been playing phone tag with Greg so at least he's been trying to make contact.
oh no, mk. that's not what my horoscope on my birthday said. me, a sag, and a gemini were gonna find it. i'm just happy that i get to arrange 2 cage matches instead of just the one :)
the liquor store was gonna sponsor but I still need to speak to the owner to make sure it's ok, it's his first year owning the store and he's kinda freakin out over some money issues, he's spending alot of dough on security cameras and stuff so I'm not sure how far he will let me go with this.
shouldn't affect us, I think it starts a block or 2 up from us, I think they are going to tear down hafners though, I heard somthing about some housing going in there. what gentlemans club?!
the only new club I know of is the one they put in hafners and I think It's just a dance club, cops are there almost every night, alot of rif-raf I guess. I suppose if hafners gets torn down then it will be gone too.
this is the one we were looking for a month or so ago:
The Zodiac Hunter, 2002
Aries-- "The Medallion's probably around here somewhere. Now pass me another beer. So anyway, this one time, while digging for the treasure..."
Taurus-- "I think we can get this softball field completely shoveled by morning."
Gemini-- "Well, I'm not going to claim I know which park it's in for sure, but I know it's not in *that* one."
Cancer-- "Honey, is it time to go home yet?"
Leo-- "Ok, let's go dig over here. You start there and you start here, and you hold the light."
Virgo-- "No, you have to first dig a circle out and make sure it's not there, then you pick another spot two feet away and pile the snow from that circle into the first circle...."
Libra-- "John seems to think it's Highland and I can see that. But Jim seems to think it's in Phalen, which makes sense too. What do you think?"
Scorpio-- "So cutie, you've been doing this treasure hunt thing long?"
Sagittarius-- "I started out in Como and dug there for a while. Then I thought I'd try Marydale. Then I heard a lot of people were at Hidden Creek so I swung by there."
my emphasis: so i dug around in zone 4 for a while, then i moved to zone 2 by zone 3. then i went up to zone 6. then i had a great theory over on the west end of zone 2, but by the time i could do something about it, someone had found it.
Capricorn-- "Wow, you know what I could do with $10,000?"
Aquarius-- "You might want to consider digging in this park. If you read the clues this way, it all makes sense. Just trying to help."
and I will probly do the same thing all over again in January 2003! I drove by Phalen a few times this week - I did notice that those poor 'weeds' are not looking so good :)
ok, guys, i'm on the verge of getting the 2002 thread archive up. just have to create an index page for it and a zip file. yes it's still r-rated from our crazier days, yes, mr. news is still there. it will appear as it did in the end.
incidentally, if anyone wants this on cd-rom instead of online, lemme know and i'll be happy to burn it for ya. of course, it'll have to wait until i get the 98 and 99 threads done up real nice-like. those shouldn't take nearly as long as these two did, as there's no hyperlinks built into them.
me2 is the only sagittarius
I am yet alone again ::sigh::
I am yet alone again ::sigh::
If that horoscope thing gets out, you're gonna have a line of hunting partners. You won't be alone.

cage matches on pay per view.
Yes, please !
that's what i was thinking, too. hey, if i get enough contenders, i could set up a whole tournament bracket and everything. we could start on the 7th!

that sucks.
Terry:
Do you have contact with Green? Is she still loyal to PP after the loss of the water cooler andcoolercrew.com ?
Liquor Lady:
Whatever the idea was about sponsors, etc. We're no longer adopted by PioneerPlanet, Pioneer Press, or Knight-Rider. I'd say 'let's go for it'.
agreed, ian.
Ares - I agree. It sucks.
Ian - No. I don't expect to have any contact with Green.
Hopefully we'll hear from Greg by early next week.
since me2 is the only sagittarius that i know of who hunts for the thing
Snow Poker is a Sagittarius.
:: cage match! cage match! cage match! ::
Thats right! forgot about you Snowpoker, sorry :(
Mine is December 4 and his is Dec 7 BUT... I will always be younger :)
Don't forget
"Marley"the one and only"King"
Will find the coin next year!
That would mean "Aries"

Is that (proposed ?) redevelopment near there going to affect you at all? And what about that "gentleman's club" ?? Still in business?
shouldn't affect us, I think it starts a block or 2 up from us, I think they are going to tear down hafners though, I heard somthing about some housing going in there. what gentlemans club?!

Thanks for the imvite THX!

Do we get a card to carry around showing our membership? Or a super-cool hand shake?
Didn't anyone tell you about the neck tattoo?
Neck tattoo? You give members a permanent hickey?
Dal can give whip-lashings for an initiation :)
She'd give them for house-warming parties if she could...
and I will probly do the same thing all over again in January 2003! I drove by Phalen a few times this week - I did notice that those poor 'weeds' are not looking so good :)
which ones? the ones it was found in, or the ones you and i dug up?
oooooohhhh baby-69!
They never did look good.
ok, guys, i'm on the verge of getting the 2002 thread archive up. just have to create an index page for it and a zip file. yes it's still r-rated from our crazier days, yes, mr. news is still there. it will appear as it did in the end.
Fine job you do there sir.

Yeah, I've seen how much you post here, so I figured you couldn't really work for a living. ;)

Ares, I have to say it....
Good luck in getting it up
Good luck in getting it up
