Yep it is cold out here, you know I didn't like Newell, but someone convinced me of it this morning, there was some off screen talk that pretty much guarantees me that it is there.

Terry, and Troy what does this clue mean i mean ive been trying to figure it out. Does it mean look back at clues to find something like the WARS spelling in clue 4?

Terry, if the clue read, "Go to Newell Park and you will find the Medallion", people would still question what they meant by go.

Give it a rest, I know you're mad and that is sad, but you need to quit smoking or something!

Just lay back, take it easy, take ten deep breaths, and chill!!

OK If I calm down, just answer one question -

Pie why won't you pay him?

My interpretation of today's clue has nothing to do with the WARS thing.

I'm thinking more that it's hawkeye as in pierce (MASH) as in Pierce Butler.

Have you all been neglecting your family and friends? Been slacking at work and with your studies? Been insulting each other and lying about theories with malicious intent to mislead fellow watercoolerians?

Pie owes money to an ex-poster here named Bud, Now I don't know how things are handled on the medallion board. But down on the sports boards when two parties place a bet on something and the loser welches on it, they lose all credibility.

OK, if you will admit to us why you refuse to pay Bud for the bet he won against you. A simple truthful explanation would suffice.

Holy crap, It could be at New well cause last year they led all of us to New Well unpurposely until like the last few clues, but now this time they say stay on the attack. By the way Well trained is not supposed to have a - in it. Damn it could possibly be there cause all the clues fit in it.

I believe that that is a type of rock often onyxesque in color, formed through the heat of molten lava.

In case everyone (Pie & Shoveler) have forgotten this board is used to discuss the medallion hunt. If ya'll want to jab at each other go somewhere else.

There is a St. Ignatious, I think. I don't know about the spelling. The rock is igneous.
