2008 St. Paul Winter Carnival Medallion

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

Kitch, in what context? Terry, you tell it. I don't remember a particular story but that I had one and wore it constantly.

Just tell him about your fishing bra.

My bra? My fancy schmancy bra? That was a bra, but was so fancy schmancy it was street legal and I wore it fishing? Then wore it everywhere else with nothing else on top? THAT fishing bra?

Was a blast. Here I was walking around in a real live bra and it looked like the top to a swimming suit. But it wasn't! :lipsealed:

That's not very funny. Used to be. But looses something in the ensuing years and retelling.

I just had to tell everyone THE HUNT IS ON, KEEP LOOKING FOR THE PIONEER PRESS MEDALLION, Remember search don't destroy! I just had t ocall can make sure it wasn't found today. :wink: I'll see you all out tomorrow I am going to bed early tonight and getting all my sleepys for the weekend in.

I think what was so funny is that no one else had ever heard of a fishing bra. You were the first.

Guys have their fishing hats, only fair gals have their fishing bras I guess. :litesmile:

watching the movie "extras" ...again...

I had forgotten all about that fishing bra.
Thu, 01/24/2008 - 8:33 PM Permalink

Well, when put like THAT. But that iz what it was - my fishing bra. Had it for years.

First, prolly last. I don't think ittiz a fashion that took off or whos time had/has come. Dumb women. Beats sitting in a boat sweating to death. And if you don't tell enkneebuddy, they're not going to be able to know.

Only thang is... I got complacent and it got to where I didn't give a dang and fished in NON-STREET LEGAL bras... A friend quickly put a stop to that, he did! LOL!!!

My absolute FAVORITE part is where we're filming at BC and Trent wanted me to slide into camera view from Stage Left. We did it and did it and did it. And then I slided into camera view, slipped, fell - taking everyone down with me, including the camera man! The camera was shaking because he was laughing so hard.

Gods, was that ever funny!

I'm laughing so hard I've got tears. It was ssssoooo movie-esque, you now? So perfect. Couldn't have planned that for the world. I just lay there and laughed. Arms flailed, feet shot up... Warner Brothers, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer couldn't have done better.

Trent, Jackie, you send that in to AFHV, you gotta split the loot with me!

Female half of hnts2mch here! Brian and I are kinda newbies...its been a few years now. Tatergirl (my sister) got us into this obsession. So much to learn and read! I love the history. I love the movie!!! Hoping to meet a few of you St.Paul Celebs. Also looking forward to showing the movie to my friends and family who just don't "get it". If you see two ladies and baby (in a sled) diggin tomorrow please say "hi".

WELCOME, Tots X 2! Everybuddy's a newbie once. And only once. Then you can check out but you can never leave.

So, you think me going arse over teacart was funny? I'm not a Celeb, I'm a Klutz.

So you adopted? What's with you and Tater 'getting it' and the rest o'the fam doesn't?

Hi hnts2mch. I grew up, and live again, in a house down the street from where Tater's in-laws lived and then Tater herself.

Welcome and though we won't be out during the day tomorrow, hopefully we'll be out all weekend. If I see anyone with a baby in a sled, we'll be sure to stop and say howdy.
