2003 Redbear Mock Hunt

'bells will be ringing' is a CHRISTMAS CAROL too ;)

i like it.

March Madness= Spring Break ??

Just Spring is coming - look for a spring in a park or in SpringLakePark?

Near & Far-they are 'different'

how does this turn into --stay in St Paul?

old school- the oldest highschool would probly be Central High School.

Just a castaway
an island lost at sea
another lonely day
no-one here by me
more loneliness
than any man could bear

rescue me before I fall into despair NOTE: these 2 words are used in clue #1)

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
message in a bottle

A year has passed since I wrote my note
but I should have known this right from the start

only hope can keep me together
love can mend your life
but love can break your heart

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
message in a bottle

Walked out this morning
don't believe what I saw
a hundred billion bottles
washed up on the shore
seems I'm not alone in being alone
a hundred billion castaways
looking for a home

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
message in a bottle

Sending out an SOS
sending out an SOS

Harriet Island

also take note that Harriet Bishop was a SCHOOL Teacher -'old school'

hehehe I was looking up old school lyric stuff and found this...

insane clown posse
song lyrics unknown album old school pervert lyrics

what the heck? why is Serious capitalized? and Gives? are these just typos?

March Madness is men's college basketball tournament.

how about old school- police = federal court bldg-old police bldge=arcoss from Rice park?

also the police station at Highland-
any others around?

I like the Beacon st thing but I don't have my guide out to see where that dick park is located. or just plain Mounds park with the Beacon. and clue 3 being lovers lane area at Mounds that Terry V talked about before. and Marley being DEAD could be the dead people there.

I saw March madness having something to do with Basketball but I can't see how that pertains to this hunt. Unless U of M and Hidden Falls? The Falls being the crying tears. and wedding bells being bridal veil falls

A basketball court nearby?

not in minnesota, kids. march madness here is high-school tournament season :)

Still working on the code but I think I have something!-I will share soon even if I cant get it!(figured AW would be on this one)

Anagrams- I am getting several park names but nothing pans out all the way yet!

The meaning of life--Monty Python

I've been busy working on the murder mystery and my own clues, and so I haven't been able to give this hunt a whole lot of time. Plus I'm working during the day and I have plans every night, so odds are it will be found before I even get a chance to figure out the park, hehe.

I like the Beacon st thing but I don't have my guide out to see where that dick park is located.

Me2... your not talkin about some nude park or somethin are you? I cant see it being in one of those... and if it was... I dont think I want it that bad.

My head is spinning!!!!

Me2-I think Dickerson park is over on or near University (close to Iris), but Marley has all the map books so I'm not positive.

Yes its down the street from Iris on university!

And is only a playground out in front of a school! I mean ONLY a small playground!Anybodys back yard is bigger!
I would hope nobody would ever put it there! (peace park is bigger)

Hosanna! rat giantism

If you're lost, confused, check out this story
take a trip down the walking path, you'll be in hunt territory
start north and not west, and you'll find the way
but if you go far you've been led astray

Hosanna! rat giantism -- this is not a anagram!

was just about to post that

<--kiljoy

Hiyall!!

Just popped in here this morning and got caught up in these clues. They don't make *any* sense to me at all! I like the idea about the Police songs though :) - maybe we are to look near a police sub station?

Just for all who were thinking Mounds and wondering about the school.....Mounds Park Elementary was on Pacific and Cypress or so. The building is still there, still says Mounds Park Elementary on top (I think) but it has been converted to apartments. Just south on Cypress, if that's the correct street, is the *little* Mounds playground....there are some swings and a slide or two, maybe a bb court.

Hope this helps! Catch y'all later....

Thanks Mom! That was the building I was thinking of.

Sometimes in cartoons (like Tom and Jerry) a kangaroo is a giant mouse(rat) ;-)

I think its some sort of housing now... an old folks home maybe? Not sure.

There is an animal that is a kangaroo rat.

<--kiljoy ?

There is an animal that is a kangaroo rat

By George! I think we've got it!

But what do we have?

hmmm. theres a HEDGEhog rat too.

Only other thing I found-did a google search, and the only site that came up with all 3 words in the first line was a list of record labels.

(HSA) HOSANNA, \09(ABG) ABYSSAL GIANTISM, (EAT) EVER RAT

77 Souch...

I think the hosanna stands by itself, the rat thing we have to do something with

If you anagram the two words you get a bunch of different kinda tits

Main Entry: kangaroo rat
Function: noun
Date: 1867
: any of a genus (Dipodomys) of pouched nocturnal burrowing rodents of arid parts of the western U.S. and Mexico

ITS IN MEXICO! ROAD TRIP!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and so is the size of a rat.

A horrified worker at the Morgan County Archives notified Archivist Susan Bzdell that he had seen a big rat, a "great big rat," in the basement of the archives. The worker told Susan that the rat was between 10 and 18 inches long.

The archivist called a pest control company, which placed rat killer in the basement. Two days later, Susan found a dead rat on the sidewalk outside.

"He was a little fellow," she said.

Well, I keep coming up with themes in these clues- like SPRING and RING

I took Giantism and Rat and got Big and Kangaroo which got me Big Daddy Kangaroo Song - the words are Springing hopping & ringing.

Artist Adam Sandler
Album Big Daddy Soundtrack
Song The Kangaroo Song

I'm a singing kangaroo and I come from far away.
I like to hop, hop, hop all day.
Would you like to come and play?
We'll hop, hop, hop, hop,
What do you say?

I go hop, hop 'cause I'm a kangaroo,
So get in my pouch and I'll hop with you.
I go hop, hop while I sing my song,
Hop, hop, hop, hop, hopping along.

I've got big feet that I use like a spring,
That's why hop, hop, hop is my thing.
I like to hop and I like to sing,
Hop, hop, hop, hop, ring-a-ding-ding!

Come on, kids, sing along with the kangaroo!

I like to hop and I like to sing,
Hop, hop, hop, hop, ring-a-ding-ding!
Hop, hop, hop, hop, ring-a-ding-ding!
Hop, hop, hop, hop, ring-a-ding-ding!

I also seem to come up with themes in songs-

Police
Adam SANDler
Old School
Christmas Carol or Bob Marley
bells will be ringing-church
Bridal Veil Falls
Path

rrrrr- gonna try to start fresh here-

how bout if i take all this music you're coming up with one step further? which school is the music magnet in st. paul? frankin? isn't that by valley?

OK-how wierd is this...Bob Marley tunes that look like the clues...

RAT RACE (big rat)
I SHOT THE SHERIFF (police)
CRY TO ME or NO WOMAN NO CRY or IS THIS LOVE

I'm a singing kangaroo and I come from far away. I like to hop, hop, hop all day. Would you like to come and play? We'll hop, hop, hop, hop, What do you say?

All the possibilities in the universe...

Kangaroos HOP
and another clue had SPRIUNG SPRUNG - LURCH
springing hopping lurching- leaping? COMO?

The puck is most definitely NOT in the boundaries of Como Park. Not Como!

March Madness is soon near.

The March Hare, the Mad Hatter, it must be nearly tea time!

snoopy hops too from the looks of it :)

please don't let it be como. please don't let it be como.

Cold beer, MNF, the look in her eye,
That thirty years later still makes you cry.
It’s the latter for which this bear is hunting,
Because sometimes love really means nothing.

Iris!

I saw something for tea time too- let me go back and look for it- brb-
Alice In Wonderland- -either AW has the coin or it's in ALICE PARK!

I was just kidding about COMO!

GOLF?

Clue #1
to begin with. Marley was dead: that clever rapscallion
it was he, not the bear, who found kilty's medallion
Spriung is sprunging, wedding bells will be ringing
and March Madness is soon near.
But don't despair - here's some help from the Bear:
if you read this, you've gone too far.

Clue 2
a year has passed since I wrote this note
but I should have known it right from the start.
Recent No Doubt
Gives serious clout
but for The hunt, think Old School.

Clue #3
The meaning of life, now that’s a search
It’s the small details that’ll give you a lurch
Cold beer, MNF, the look in her eye,
That thirty years later still makes you cry.
It’s the latter for which this bear is hunting,
Because sometimes love really means nothing.

Clue #4
Hosanna! rat giantism
If you're lost, confused, check out this story
take a trip down the walking path, you'll be in hunt territory
start north and not west, and you'll find the way
but if you go far you've been led astray

Thank you AW ;)

May 17th is LOVE MEANS NOTHING Day

Love is Tennis- Love is 'nothing' so we focus on football? and Beer?

There is an 'old school' original school in front of Highland Sr/Jr Highschool.

oh-man not another one---old-school is a form of HIP_HOP! uuuuuhhhhh

Well love really does mean literally nothing, or "none" in tennis.
