PIE

Aaron Niedorf- - 07:09pm Feb 3, 1999 CST (#20543 of 20548) I won you LOSERS!!!!!

Guys and Gals:(LOSERS)

I'm sorry to have to rub it in your face but you all would do the same thing!

For the guy with the blue baseball hat that called me a lazy, shovel leaning freak, well, you can kiss my a$$, JERK!!!

To the hot little babe who, smiled at me when I put it in my pocket, EMAIL ME and we'll go get a Hotel Room!

And to all you Losers out there, tough luck, better luck next time!!!

I didn't even dig for the thing! I just stood around keeping my Eyes peeled, and when I saw this knit thing I Walked over and grabbed it.

Mears could fit into the "pace" "chase" themes with bike and foot trails.

Who says there's a law that you have to dig like an idiot to win the thing. I always said diggers are fools! And besides I can say I didn't wreck anything before I found it like alot of those dumb asses ot there. I'm glad I found it and only wish I would have registered my button on time.

I should be working on a college paper due tomorrow, but here I am pondering THE HUNT. My two cents: you're all reading way too much into it early on. It is possible that "ace" simply refers to a tennis court. If you were the clue writer, wouldn't you enjoy writing something simple, knowing that everyone would misinterpret it? I know creative thinking is needed to figure things out, but don't go overboard (remember last year, when everyone tried to figure out how the clues pointed to the "devil's den" at Newell...).

Has everyone met Pie yet? He's showing off his work of art. It was Pie who wrote that for Aaron. I'm sure he'll be writing something special for this year's winner too.

Hello! Finally got here!

First we were out to dinner and then getting more mittens cuz I lost mine from last year.

Got home and could not get into the cooler for the longest time! How long was it out of service?

Then had to slog over 200 - or closer to 300 messages.

TheTreasureHunter'sGuide - I thought Dunning last night right away too...but everyone says it's so dug up. I didn't get a chance to drive by there today, but will plan on that for sure tomorrow.

Have all of us agreed that Clue #1 and Clue #2 can relate to any park in St.Paul?

Oh yeah, Snow Lifter. Still got my Riff Raff duds somewhere around here. Yes, clues could point to any park. Looking forward to next clue. How about Geography? Any support for not east side, not west side?
