With only one clue to play with, there's not much to do BUT overanalyze it. Still, this year I plan on at least recognizing it as such and try not to act on it.
When you're outside at 2AM, digging through snow and ice when its below zero out, and you have to get up at 5:30AM to go to work, well I don't think the insanity is much of a secret at that point.
I'm gonna try to be smart about this and go hit the sheets. If one gets more sleep now, later when 3 hours of sleep looks like sleeping in, I won't already be at a huge deficit.
Allison - You're noodling WAY too much into a *first clue*. What are we gonna do with your rants when we really get into the nitty-gritty??!!
Can I tell you? Natalie has been sleeping the better part of the day - like for more than 12 hours now. Has had a couple "snack" breaks and fresh diapers along the way. I was sure she'd have woken while we were at McGoverns, but NO! I'm almost afraid to go to bed, but pretty sure that's where I'm headed soon...
well here is my shot. Cavort means to caper excitedly. Caper means 1) brambled like schrub 2) jump or run playfully I have a gut feeling like this might means something but I am not sure. I am stretching it.
Ok, time for me to go to sleep too. But in general, if you try to stretch something, and find you have nowhere to anchor it to, then you've probably stretched it too far. Not that brainstorming is bad, but its nice to be able to draw a plausible conclusion from it.
Good morning, everyone. Got home late last night and was too tired to log on and chat. Just read the first clue, interesting!!! The first clue almost always sounds the same. I'll check in here again later today.
Help! I just want to buy a Carnival Button, and do you know that NO place can I find where they sell them at. Can anyone help me? I am new to this search and it's my second year at it. I am having a good time already : ) Easy to entertain ha!
Some Rainbows have Buttons. I got mine at the Rainbow on White Bear Avenue just north of 694. SuperAmerica's have them, but I don't know if *all* SuperMom's do...
Profession rhymes with obession. It's not always so easy to write rhymes. You have to be creative sometimes in your choice of words.
Allison, was so good to see you again. And thanks for the fun Hunt Trivia game! Even if Jakey *did* know ALL the answers. SHEESH!!!
I really like your point about being depressed over the Vikings... I wonder when these clues were written...
Help me here, how does Swede Hollow Park tie into the Vikings?????
Allison - I like the idea of Swede Hollow with the reference to the Vikings. It'll be interesting to see if that plays out.
Like I said, Allison, "progression" rhymes, too, and actually makes more sense. That profession's bugging me! :)
Vikings are Scandanavians, as in Sweden (among other places)
Hay, Ter! Nice to see you and Inks again! Was fun listening to tales of Hunts past.
DUH! (smaking self in forehead) Thanks, Allison.
JOE!!!
Well, weren't the Vikings considered by many to be rogues - "rapscallions"?
Let the over-analyzing begin!
Just think how much worse it'll get till the next clue when we can rip that one from one side of smithereens to the other!
With only one clue to play with, there's not much to do BUT overanalyze it. Still, this year I plan on at least recognizing it as such and try not to act on it.
Sometimes though the over-analyzing stuff pays off. Other times it just makes you insane.
Makes us insane? I thought we already were?
Allison! Shhhhhhhhhh No one else is supposed to know that!
When you're outside at 2AM, digging through snow and ice when its below zero out, and you have to get up at 5:30AM to go to work, well I don't think the insanity is much of a secret at that point.
Actually being up noodling the first clue after 2am might rate as insanity too!
LOL! Yea, Terry. Might. But I'm reading Steve's book, too. Trying to learn things. Not like ittiz gonna keep me from over analyzing, but I can try!
I slept in today, and will tomorrow too. It just may be the last chance to do so in quite a while.
Oh yes, the book! I should take a look through that.
What I want to know is..........what am I doing up at 2:00AM reading this board? I'm not even a diehard hunter!
I'm gonna try to be smart about this and go hit the sheets. If one gets more sleep now, later when 3 hours of sleep looks like sleeping in, I won't already be at a huge deficit.
Goodnight all and happy hunting dreams.
Good idea Terry. Goodnight, I'm hitting the hay as well.
And Jake hasn't been here yet. I bet he's out in a park somewhere!
"And Jake hasn't been here yet. I bet he's out in a park somewhere!"
Well, I e-mailed him and haven't gotten a response.
:-)
He might have just gone to bed? (Not likely)
Nite, Ter. Hay, THX, very glad you came tonite. Was nice meeting you... Nite, THX.
Hiyall!!
Lexington Pkwy runs past the Como golf course...
Hay, Mom! How are the girls?
I'm up to my usual... Trying to ace the XACT spot where The Med's hidden in Clue #1!
This Hunt DRIVES ME NUTZ!!!
How is Lexington related to anything?

Allison, "rebellion" used with don't go on the golf course.
Mom, ittiz me, not Allison reading too much in to the first clue!
I can't believe we have to wait ALMOST 24 HOURS for the 2nd clue to come out! Gonna drive me NUTS!
You're both doing a pretty good job! LOL!
I'm gonna crawl under the blankets while I can - before Natalie figures out she's been sleeping way more than she's supposed to!
SCD's - Hope to see ya around here tomorrow. And I'll get some pictures up somewhere too.
At least I won't be lonely in the nuthouse, Mom. You'll be there to keep me company.
Ittiz gonna be a lllloooonnnnnggg 1.5 weeks!
So Mom, you don't think there is any significance to the use of the Vikings?
Nite, Mom.
Allison, I think I'm gonna turn in, too. Or is that "turn in to," as a raving lunatic? :)
SCD all Hunters and Diggers! The HUNT is a foot!
No, I think it's a *good*, plausible theory that "Vikings" could have some significance....
Here I go again - just one more post....
I gotta get under those blankets - til tomorrow!
Good night then everyone who's leaving. I'll be around doing some other stuff for a bit.
well here is my shot. Cavort means to caper excitedly. Caper means 1) brambled like schrub 2) jump or run playfully I have a gut feeling like this might means something but I am not sure. I am stretching it.

The no golf course info is the same as last years #1 but there seems to be another little clue in this one.
I think I agree with you duff, how about cavort?
Good morning, everyone. Got home late last night and was too tired to log on and chat. Just read the first clue, interesting!!! The first clue almost always sounds the same. I'll check in here again later today.

Good Marning, Jean!
Some Rainbows have Buttons. I got mine at the Rainbow on White Bear Avenue just north of 694. SuperAmerica's have them, but I don't know if *all* SuperMom's do...
The Super America on the corner of 7th & Wall still has buttons. They also still have the four pack.
