Maybe they are just trying to add a bit of a twist this year to get people pumped up.

What's the format for the clue, Tim? I like to know the first letters of each line. Four lines?

Excited to see everyone tonight!

Bummed about letting the clue out early...and really surprised there isn't ANY reference to Ramsey County or St. Paul. I *think* that that's not ALWAYS been in the first clue though....

tim_the_hunter

well the rules say ramsey county, so we don't need the clue to say it technically.

'mom'

I know, Tim. But nearly every year the clues start out by narrowing it down. Either Ramsey County or St. Paul...

I really should be getting ready for the upcoming couple weeks. Making meals ahead of time - that sort of thing.

Dad seems bound and determined to sell our house, so I've been trying to clean and make it presentable when a couple realtor types come on Weds.

tim_the_hunter

yeah, it's definetely A) a new clue writer or :cool: old cluewriter trying to be sneaky.

does anyone have an idea of who the cluewriter was in the 80's?

OT

I've been looking at some past year first clues, and St. Paul park has been mentioned often in Clue #1. Occasionally the reference isn't made until Clue #2.

Ter, the guy had to let me in. He's going on my word I gots $ in the bank to cover my card-thighy that I paid with (I DO!!!). Guess it will take a day or so, or sumpin', for the charge thighy to go thru or sumpin. You know how it ittiz.

We need to ask ESD to put some sparklies on your avatar, green. :wink:

No, I bowl in bowling alleys, but sometimes do extreme bowling and moonlite bowling and all.

I just had to have them 'cuz they're green and glow in the dark. They're a burfday present. One month from today! :grin:

I wish I could find my "green" neon antimated avatar. That was so neat. Just the word 'green' and all movey and cool. (sigh)

Enuff snow and ice to suffice.

Or is that what ittiz in? Like enuff ice and snow to cover it up, like a snowball, or hunk, or something like that?

It's probably still sitting over at PF. Maybe someone could grab it for you.

Say, I think they did say it was going to be in a park. They said we're making it hard for them "to park" the loot.

Wait. No. So, maybe that means not in a park, since ittiz "hard to park." But somewhere near by where there's lots o'snow?

Where's Scribe when you need her?

Or, piled up snow where parking lot(s) have been plowed? Now, that sounds more like it! :grin:

Do they dump snow in McMurry Field?

One year at Cherokee, the medallion was found near a fire hydrant near the curb, in the piles of snow left by the plows

Oh! Thanks, OT. I'm not feeling like a chile peeper, though. But I do appreciate you lookin' out fur me!

Say, I can't watch Red & Green w/o thinking o'you! Everytime! And I have to agree with you; I can see why he/me reminds you of me/him! Ittiz scary the way we think alike!

Green - I believe that green avatar you're speaking of was lost at the PP. I remember trying to find that again from many avatar sites, but never did find it again.
Sat, 01/21/2006 - 11:46 AM Permalink

That's what they're saying, park (as in noun and verb), and snow/suffice = plowed up snow. I betcha.

Okay. That one's aced. Gimme'da next one! :grin:

I think I know the hunt you're talking about, Terry. I was kind of a casual hunter back then and stopped on my way from somewhere else. I had on those long go-go boots. The zipper broke on one and I had to leave.

Yeah, Ter. It was at Mom Press. Years ago. I've never been able to find anudder. And ittiz just so me.

Speaking of just so me, I disremembered everything at Mom Press' site, so I had to register AGAIN (in all these years, I must have registered like a bazillion times), so this time I went with Dad's idea: green_period

I think "hard to park" is the part that could end up giving us the biggest hint.

Often times people don't like a certain area because there is nowhere to park,
Sat, 01/21/2006 - 11:49 AM Permalink
Terry

I don't think the clue writer/hider folks ever care about how much parking is available.

My family went to Chicago a couple of years ago for a family wedding. I bought a pair of long brown boots to wear with a pair of wool culottes They were popular again, I guess. Made the mistake of wearing them on our walking tour of downtown. I could hardly hobble back to the hotel. They tease me about touring Chicago in my go-go boots. :worried: :sillygrin:
