I had a bad experience at the Como fire rings a few months ago. It wasn't the sort of thing that's likely to repeat itself, but not sure I want to go back real soon.
Actually there was a group of teenagers there from Como Park Senior High. Must have been around Homecoming. They were at the far fire ring from where we were. There had to be at least 100 of them there if not 200. At one point for some reason they all headed out way en masse. At first they were just being kind of a nuisance. A bunch of people in my group had whips (don't ask why) and one of them actually started trying to chase them off by using her whip. They kind of dispersed, but then came back and the second time they were rather angry and started throwing stuff at my group. One woman was hit in the head with a can of pop and they were throwing other things that would have been dangerous had they hit someone (and they came close). We ended up calling 911 and had to have the police come. If my group had decided to fight back, it would have been a riot.
ah memories at 'the rings' I recall our spring break party there in 86' 300 plus students / couple of kegs the 'grassy knoll' ;) the dutch oven the next day :(
I understand why you guys unleashed on Jake, all I had to do was put myself in your guys' shoes. And once one person posted how pissed they were, everyone felt free to! Thats the beauty of angry mobs!
All joking aside, that was a mean joke and I feel bad for anyone that was even slightly taken by it. Even though it was an obvious fake when you look back at it, even the slightest chance that there wouldn't be a hunt is devastating.
Well if anything good came out of it, it was perhaps that we learned not to take the hunt for granted and appreciate it a bit more (not that it wasn't already appreciated).
Ah geez! I can't believe anyone asked why Allison and his friends had whips! So I'm gonna ask. Allison, why did ya'll have whips in a public park around the fire rings?
Not to worry Steve, anybody who knows anything knows it's gonna be where it's gonna be and thats where it is for anybody who knows where to find it. Ya dig?
I think people just want to try and identify it as soon as possible because we realize the odds of ourselves finding it to be slim to none. So we try to earn that little moral victory by figuring out the right park before others can.
yeah screw that! It's the huntin and the tradition thats so fun! Plus another swing on tryin to find the damn thing! I think Steve is absolutely right.
Ah geez! I can't believe anyone asked why Allison and his friends had whips! So I'm gonna ask. Allison, why did ya'll have whips in a public park around the fire rings?
see, and i think its more important to find the medallion first. you can worry about figuring out which park its in and where in that park it is after the medallion is safely in your pocket.
Different people have different values. Some of us appreciate the social recognition. Others are, shall we say, more goal oriented.
So let me put it this way. How many people do you think can name the finders of the last five years? I can't even remember all their names. Now how many people know the name "Allison Wonderland" for example, and even have a positive association with it? I have people I've never met come up to me in the parks and they're excited to meet and talk to me. I got into the documentary based on the things I posted. I've had people I've never met give me some pretty sincere compliments. Yes, it would be nice to find the medallion, but if I had to choose between finding it, but living in obscurity, or never finding it, but making lots of friends along the way, I'd be perfectly happy with the latter. I may not have the money, but money doesn't last long. I may not have my name entered on the list of finders, but how many remember that list anyway? There are other things one can win in this hunt.
The singles club I run, which has become immeasurably valuable to me, was started with someone I met from the treasure hunt. Without her, I likely never would have tried. There have been a few times where I felt like getting out of town for the the weekend and I've been able to go up and camp out at Terry Valentine's place, someone else I met through the hunt. This last year I got to run my own treasure hunt and people who had faith in me to create a good hunt based on little more than the things I've posted, raised $500 of their own money to have a decent prize for that hunt to make it a genuinely worthwhile one. You're not going to convince me that finding the Medallion is the only prize to be had because I've already gotten so much more out of it.
Allison - All good points, but you could've accomplished this without giving away the store. I would guess that for every friend you've met through the boards, you've supplied easy answers to hundreds of people you wouldn't want to associate with. Perhaps even some who attend Como Park High.
When the time comes, challenge yourself. See if you can noodle on the board without saying what park you're thinking of. Limit the amount of info you give on the board. If anything, take it offline if you have to speak with someone.
Can one have too many adoring fans? And Scribe doesn't need any more friends and adoring fans. All she needs is her hair brush and a good male ice dancing partner.
2 things: 1) online twister on the forum is fun. and if you don't believe me, ask me2. 2) i am *not* famous, map dude. i mean come on, trent's only got about 2 seconds of footage of me at the pp :)
ME ME ME PICK ME! I WANNA BE FAMOUS! I NEED TO BE FAMOUS! I DESERVE IT! I AM NOTHING WITHOUT TRYING TO CALL THE PARK DURING THE WINTER CARNIVAL HUNT! MY GOD MAN HOW CAN YOU BE SO CRUEL!

Apparantly, I'm destined for the chorus, not a starring role. ;-)

They're predicting upper 40's for tomorrow and 40's for Wednesday.
ah memories at 'the rings'
I recall our spring break party there in 86'
300 plus students / couple of kegs
the 'grassy knoll' ;)
the dutch oven

i don't even wanna think about what you were using the dutch oven for :)
I understand why you guys unleashed on Jake, all I had to do was put myself in your guys' shoes. And once one person posted how pissed they were, everyone felt free to! Thats the beauty of angry mobs!

Agreed.

What is medallionation exactly?
Ah geez! I can't believe anyone asked why Allison and his friends had whips! So I'm gonna ask. Allison, why did ya'll have whips in a public park around the fire rings?
Medalionation= public peeing after Buggs Bar closes.
note to self: avoid me2's park at 1am.
whi-chaaaaaa. sorry i know me2's not around to do it right now, and i know dal probably won't be around for a while so someone had to do it.
Hello Map dude, Shags and Mr. Med!
Hi scribe. I just slogged through all of the posts since saturday. I may be fighting a losing battle here.
If I can't have my way than I'll at least keep using the big frog pond image.
Not to worry Steve, anybody who knows anything knows it's gonna be where it's gonna be and thats where it is for anybody who knows where to find it. Ya dig?

Screw finding the park first!
:-)
yeah screw that! It's the huntin and the tradition thats so fun! Plus another swing on tryin to find the damn thing! I think Steve is absolutely right.
Ah geez! I can't believe anyone asked why Allison and his friends had whips! So I'm gonna ask. Allison, why did ya'll have whips in a public park around the fire rings?
They were practicing.
For what?
I don't even want to know. The mental picture is already etched in my mind.
I want to know! Inquiring minds!
see, and i think its more important to find the medallion first. you can worry about figuring out which park its in and where in that park it is after the medallion is safely in your pocket.
wait, um, let me rethink that a sec.

For what?
Well where else would you practice using a whip?
I know where silly! WHY?

So that they could get better at using them. Some of them have gotten to be pretty impressive with them.
Stop droppin hints Steve!LOL!
screw it! me!!
this joe is dedicated to me2, who wasn't here to play for this one.
Who= Allison and his friends Where= Como Park fire rings
What= Whips How=by practicing getting good with the whips WHY= (add answer here)

We could make a game of it.
Like mental Twister!!
Allison, don't kid me. Everyone on this board is already famous and soon to be movie stars. Who needs anymore friends and adoring fans?
Oh I DO I do! Please Steve, this is my LIFE!! LOLOLOLOLOL!
Can one have too many adoring fans? And Scribe doesn't need any more friends and adoring fans. All she needs is her hair brush and a good male ice dancing partner.
I have soooooo many needs! I'm NEEDY!
