oh man! Tis a lonely feeling to be the writer!
where is everyone?!
I am gonna go do a few things and come back later.
same here... ESDs food + noodling combo sounds good about now
Me2 - the clues up top appear to us as normal print, we don't see any cool fonts. It must just be your computer or access. =( Maybe THX will have a suggestion for you so that we can see it also.
There-got the font to work! it was complicated but "I did it" -as my nephew Max would say in his 3 year old baby voice! hahaha
you have a MAC- I think if you have a "real pc" -DOH! than you would get the effect! bummer though- can everyone else see it in 'chiller' ?Â
ESD just gave you a "Well... then" and walked out of the room with that post.
hahahahahahahahahahaha!
tell him to pretend the clues look like it did on the sheet he got with clue #1 on it last night :)
Man... I'm so bummed that I had to miss out on the fun :( I really wanted to be there.. in fact Mark and I were both gonna come when we got the call about my mom. Luckily she's ok tho.. she's got a broken back and arm, a few bruised ribs and some cuts, otherwise she made it out ok. She was lucky tho... the trunk of her car was literally in the back seat!! The lady who hit her didn't even try to stop. There were no skid marks or anything. Aparently she was talking on her cell phone and wasn't paying any attention. That's why people should pull over if they're gonna talk on their cell phones because of accidents like this!
Sorry to hear about the bad news MM some people should not be allowed behind the wheel.
she's got a broken back and arm, a few bruised ribs and some cuts, otherwise she made it out ok
Um, thats NOT ok! Holy Crap! I am sooo so sorry to hear of what happened to your mom! what happened to the other woman? did she get hurt as bad?
peek!
ok, I finally signed up and decided on a name - since we talked a bit about this topic on Friday - I chose on DaMacMan. However, I have nothing against a WIndows OS PC, since my brother-in-law works for M$!
Also, as you can see, I'm a Viking fan, so I do not want to hear a word about GB.
Happy hunting!
HI! welcome ---you now realize "you can never leave"!
Mwaahahahaha!
Yeah, now I'm really SCARED!
well Me2.. considering if she hadn't been wearing a seat belt she probably wouldn't be here with us today.. she IS ok. The other woman didn't get hurt nearly as bad nor did her car have as much damage to it as my mom's. She was driving something like an 86 or 87 Toyota or Nissan or something like that. I'll probably find out more tomorrow some time.
what hospital is she at?
I hope you get some rest-you are starting a new job and now this? :(
when does that job start?
She's at Regions... for the time being.
Man I've had a really crummy few months :( I lose my grandma, my baby, now my mom gets hurt... it really sucks!! I start my new job at 8am Monday morning so I'm going to do the best that I can to get some rest so I can concentrate and what not. I'm REALLY nervous... but hopefully the butterflys won't last too long!
wow MM, hope your mom has a fast recovery. You certainly have gone through a lot.
Nice clues Me2, I gotta get out huntin! Now to pick a park.. Mounds sounds good, but it's maybe too convenient of an answer. I want to guess a park near a cemetary, possibly bordering one?
BTW, this would have been a cool hunt to have around halloween, so far as the theme goes :)
Hi KC!
well, I kinda felt like I had to follow in the theme footsteps since David did Alice in Wonderland and TMK did Scooby Doo - I almost did a Disney Theme
I almost did a Disney Theme
Wheew, I like the ghost one better.
Now alls I gotta do is figure out where it is... BTW, are we actually looking for a ghost? Those are rather hard to catch you know.
Crap, I knew I shoulda bought that ghostbusters suit off ebay (the one kitch posted a while back).
So anyone having any speculations on where Me2's ghost is hiding out at??? Even tho I couldn't make it to the bash I still plan on hunting for it!! :D
nope
Glad to hear you are hunting tho :)
Snake thinks it's at Buggs
Anyone seen Neck
not a thing rag
HAVE YOU TALKED TO NECK
had a really crummy few months :( I lose my grandma, my baby, now my mom gets hurt... it really sucks!!
They say bad luck comes in threes. I think it's over for you now. Sorry to hear about all of the stuff MM. Hang in there.
Isn't obvious - somewhere by a cemetery?
I don't see any fancy fonts and I have a PC...
not sure I have that font installed on my computer.
Sorry I missed the Mancinis thing Me2.
Ok everyone, I made copies of the Mac and PC font and placed them on a server. Here they are:
Windows/PC font:
Windows Chiller
Mac OS 9 and 10:
Mac Chiller
Hope this helps you all - btw, they are about 65 kb each.
thanks DMM-thats pretty big font though -
just peeking in ;)
yeah-missed you 3M! :(
actually I talked to him yesterday Snake hehehehehe
What up ya'll?
I saw the Mounds talk that went on earlier... Me and Shaggy were out there the night of clue 1, peepin stuff out and went back for a second look last night, and hit up various parts of Battle Creek too....
i think this is the earliest we've ever actually gone out to hunt..... usually we wait til like 5 or the good old number 6 clue.... maybe its the weather..... we're out all night anyhow... so we fiured we might as well make some use of the time we had nothin to do, and go lookin.
Another thought... Kellogg?  There used to be a cemetary someplace around there WAY back in the day, when the city first got going or somethin... anyone know????.. I was readin some article about all that and im pretty sure thats what I remember seeing.... I gotta dig that up again, and re-read it....
Clue #3
Â
Â
Restless youthful anomaly
Swing and slide are skeleton key
Urban Legend says you can hear their laughter
Echo after midnight as if in the hereafter
Where did every one go to Mounds?
I see Mucluck
Has it been found yet?
No one has called me yet.
I would really hope it is not found on clue 3 & 4 like recent suburban hunts -Those clues are really really bad and this being my first time hopefully these turn out better than those. It has been a long time to have a first time at something ;)
Â
All the Caps in clue three spell out RULES.
Hey Ho, Coolerino's.
Is it me, or is DaMacMan new around these parts?
If so, welcome.
Oh, and stay the hell out of my shed!
:-)
Who would want to go to the shed? ...Its a girlie looking thing!!
also....I really goofed up the other day...the stillwater hunt is this weekend...
I read the paper wrong..No wonder nobody said anything about it.
Hmmmm....are you sure it not down there???
This kinda freaked me as I was looking for some scary stuff.....
My park is alive with stone,
bone of earth,
structure of life.
Native blood course below
Spirit wind glide above
Images! Ancestors!
guide my hand
mold the walls
fill the earth
plant the seed
make the gardens
