Looks like I missed a few people last night and there were a couple of others who weren't there. I guess I'll just have to hope to see you at the paper or in the parks. There are also some people who paid and didn't guess yet.

Oh, and also for the record, Mom took Phalen I believe last night and Dad took Highland. Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

So altogether it seems 22 people have paid making it a pot worth $110. Not a bad consolation prize if that's what it turns out to be.

WoooHooo Swede is mine

so you think the 1st clue sounded swedish? hmmmm interesting- I thought it sounded cowboyish -gonna go back and read it again-and again and again I am sure- :)

Marley and I almost coulda done a duo last night with the Outfields SAY IT ISNT SO! but that line really sounded "Bonanzish" to me.

I'm good for my 5 bucks too. Hope I'll catch him at PP or somewhere. I'll still pay up if it's found before I pay ya!

I'll still pay even iffin' I gotta pay the winner! I just hate to pay if I can't win! It's easier for me to pay after I lose - because I have - then to pay beefore and think I'm gonna lose it.

Alright, I think I've got all the updates from the weekend. The new guesses and list of people who paid should be current, If I've missed anyone, let me know. And AW, if I've missed anyone who paid you, let me know. I should be in line tonight and can give you my $5 then

The only people listed who haven't paid are myself, Map Guy, Leelabell, Mrmnmikey, Rush Harley, Green and Regman

I'm changin my pick to McMurray Field.

Although it's still part of Como.

Yeah, how can we distinguish that one. There's a street between the fields and the park, right?

NO ITS NOT!!! It has its own sign and ramsey county local and insignia!

Ma'am, yes ma'am! Pick has been changed

Thanks Med2...::sniff,sniff::

Med2k

You are right Scribe, it is it's own independent park. That's a good guess, they can use the same clues for Como, while giving themselves an alibi saying "Well is wasn't actually in Como"

WOO HOO! I'm right again!

mc murray field is part of como you big cheater pants. AW is the dictator of this pool, and he has spoken.

Allison Wonderland

Scribe got paid last year for it being in Como. Yet had it been on McMurray Field, I think she would have also claimed victory. So I say it's all one big park.

Ok, didn't we have a long discussion about this the last time it was in Como, and wasn't it decided that the ball fields were a separate park, and technically not part of Como. We were wondering if could even be considered a park, because it wasn't technically part of Como.

btw: I choose S. St. Anthony

tim_the_hunter

actually I am just joking around, it's still up to AW, but if she wants mcmurray field, I'll settle for the rest of Como.

Yes, I did get it, so it can be marked as paid.

Ian - that is the biggest of parks on my top 5. I am thinking small so far. I really have no clue and will probable change it again soon.

Allison, how do I post my park choice??

Just make a post saying which park you think it's in.

And I now have money from everyone but Green and RushHarley.

I'm going to change my vote to Goodrich Park in Maplewood.

AW, I'll pay you for Rush Harley when I see you.

He's still in CA.

AW- We'll pay you for green when we see you. Will you be down at the PP tonight?

Clue Master

how much is the pot now?

Isn't it still about 25 an 8th and 40 a quarter?

Tue, 01/27/2004 - 9:55 AM Permalink
Allison Wonderland

The pot right now is $130 and I guess it will hit $140. I will be downtown for much of the evening tonight. I'm doing some filming with Trent around 7 or 7:30, then I thought I would go to the ice palace and maybe the ice sculptures, and then head over to the Rockin Lobster before getting in line for the clue.
