Clue #1 You've joined the hunt for the regal runt
To prove searching does pay
Don't dig a hole or knock down a pole
And the golf course is out of play
Last year Jake took home the cake
With a clue a bit off level
This year we'll rinse off all our prints
Lest this hunt go to the devil
Clue #2 The point of all this is so that you won't miss
Your big chance to grab all the cash
Now gather your guys and a gal who is wise
You'll have to do something quite rash
Clue #3 We've scanned the county to hide our bounty
And keep you on your toes
It may sound risible, but our puck's invisible
Although it might just stick to your nose.
Clue #4 How fun is the snow how far will we go
You really ought to go see
Get up for the mission and not just the wishin'
Get into the game-it's all free
Clue #5 There once was a clue that drove you-know-who
To threaten a heinous act
We'd use it again but we're afraid of his pen
My friend, that's an unfortunate fact
Clue #6 All ye who look should honor the book
As one who stood for hope
Much was built in the name of the kilt
Look sharp now and never mope
Clue #7 If you should go look high then low
One could see it from a bower
If it's your bent you might seek a tent
To protect in case of shower
Take note of the wood and do what you should
To extract the prize for yourself
Build a bridge to your dreams as high as they seem
Leave nothing behind on the shelf
Clue #8 Look at the buck to acquire good luck
In finding the grail this year
Link a jar,a line, a star lawyer divine
While crying in your beer
He won, then lost and the nation was tossed
Into strife that was far from civil
The point I'm making is yours for the taking
Believe me - not the message board drivel
Clue #9 This name brings tears, elation and cheers
And occasionally even outrages
It sits on walls and rides the halls
And fills a dozen pages
The hills are alive and you'll have arrived
Refrain from the very injurious
Be bold and be brave but your skin you must save
What's off-limits should frankly be obvious
Clue #10 Look for the sight you hope is just right
You're doubtful and you're torn
Make the rounds for what rhymes with grounds
And part of a rose with a horn
Through flames and flow this park where you'll go
Is the site of sacred relics
Stay away from these and the cliffs if you please
Or you'll be in a heckuva fix
Clue #11 Air and river sounds lead all to Mounds
Far from the graves take your entourage
Twixt Burns and Thorn, an icy pathway is born
Across Mounds from a gray house and tan garage
Hell no fury hath as those on the wrong path
Mounds and Warner form a woodsy perimeter
The path not official contains footprints beneficial
Some 300 trudges in - quest for a quitter
This trail you must follow goes down a narrow hollow
Under a fallen tree to an old rusted drum
From here you must search for a hillside path perch
Wherein lies the center of fun

Side note: I absolutely love how the Cooler Crew can turn our biggest detractors into members by just doing what we do. I know there are members here that used to be Puck Posse or maybe some other group, but I honestly don't really remember who they are because we're all Cooler Crew. Adding Shackbash to the crew would be epic. Up next: Hunter Fred

If someone were to come forward with that nugget I don't think I'd believe them, unless they had some good proof.
someday terry will figure out mittens=earmuffs ...shhhh...don't tell her..

Gordy looks WAY too happy. :grin:
Lucky guy ...
LOL
good to see you around bro!
(Starts chant)
THX, THX, THX.
... is a terrible movie
Not exactly inviting.
Later, of course, I met Green, and then Terry, and learned more about things - and then we sort of realized the redundancy of having "another" group, and things pretty much fizzled after that. It's dissapointing that people choose to still label and segregate based on something that happened years ago, despite the time passed, the admitted mistakes, the marriage into the CC, etc. But, we all sort of have different ideas of what this should and shouldn't be. The nice thing is, the Cooler is what you make of it, and what you choose it to be.
I read Shack(whatever)'s post and thought it was nice and respectful and remembered thinking approximately the same kind of stuff. I guess to sum up, just keep in mind, when we talk about the "Cooler crew" party and the "cooler crew bar" and when you're in line, laughing with other coolers, and talking about cooler stuff - remember what it's like to be on the outside, and make sure to invite someone else in. Because at one time, you got invited in here, one way or the other.
Now, I'm going to go puke. I'm so...sensitive. yuk. :ooh:
and as a post-post script, those loudmouths referenced above are now some of my best friends. Even Posen. Who, for years, before I met him, I swear I thought Posen was a chick.
:wink:
hmmm..maybe I should get back to work...ha
and I'm starving..
I'm sure that van is still full with several hundred copies of the Archie and Friends comic. Jake knows economics :wink:
Maybe we should make welcome pamphlets to hand out in the parks!
It was a conversion van, probably Medallionators.
I'm not trying to persecute anybody.
Never mind.
Blah blah blah, let's get Fred, etc.
I always thought the small groups with names were subsets of the Cooler Crew, which started at the Pioneer Press website and was a very public, inclusive forum.
Once we started getting together between hunts, we tried very hard to let people know all ages were welcome and we dreamed of the Cooler Crew being numbered in the hundreds someday.
We tried to have events that were family-friendly, out in the various parks in the nicer weather, with the idea that it would be a great way to get familiar with lots of parks where the medallion might be hidden next.
In bad weather, we met at restaurants, still all ages were welcome, and there was often some kind of a kids' craft area or someone would bring coloring books and crayons.
This was in the first few years, after which I moved away, so not real sure how things morphed from there.
Not sure how "official" we were being at the time - it was a pretty loose group, not like we had a mission statement or dues or officers or anything.
Eventually, there became a private forum due to some of the nastiness on the main forum which was preventing people from having discussions and fun. Which is what you see a lot of, still, at the PP site today.
I think its a great idea to be sure to say, "hey, come join us" and to always try to let others know that everyone is welcome.
And I just want to say how nice it is to come to this forum, where everyone gets along pretty well and its a joy to read the posts here and get to know people better.
Looking forward to seeing lots of you if I can get down there for the hunt, and meeting others I haven't met yet. Please forgive me if I have a difficult time with names - I was away a long time and there's lot more Coolerheads now to meet and remember!
