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

What if the name is sunray?

The sun's rays can cause tears, elation and cheers - and sometimes outrages - especially when one gets headaches from too much sun bouncing off of snow.

Would you bet dollars to GREEN donuts, though?

I don't think that's right - but something needs to be right and more obvious than we're making it.

I'm not sure how I missed that. :neutral: :smile:

Maybe, but not my take. I don't see people crying during a Sunray, being elated during a Sunray, cheering during a Sunray or becoming outraged at/during a Sunray.

Going soon to take Cat to pick up her car, which we left at TNWTDWTMC's house while we went to see the (now melted) ice and snow sculptures.

I'm going to try to talk her into stopping in at Matty B's...MAYBE see some of ya there (if I get there).

Ever seen the Soundgarden video, Black Hole Sun?

I think it has all of the above. :grin:

You've never had your eyes water from the brightness of the sun? I'm usually elated to see the sun after a run of cloudy days. Elated enough to cheer.

And yesterday I was disgusted with the sun when I ended up with a sun headache.

Yes, Eags. I do the green do-nut thighy. I'm that convinced.

What the heck rides down halls? #@!%^&

Shadows?

Rails.

I'm confused. :crying:

The sun could sit on a wall or ride down a hall, perhaps?

hieroglyphs?

I know shadows stroll down avenues (at least mine does!) but I haven't heard of them riding down halls. LOL.

Art sits on walls (hangs actuall).

A carpet run runs down halls.

Tile?

I wonder if the name is two words, one which sits on walls the other that rides down halls?

I think everybody's thinking way too hard on this part of the clue.

How come I get dumber (or more dumb) as the hunt goes on. :crying:

Very good, Terry, about the carpet.

Evildoer - you might have a good noodle there.

I don't know where I'm going with any of this - but it seems that name should be popping out at us like a ton of bricks - and it's not.

Evil, and this is my take and no one else - unless Lurkers that won't say or others who agree and won't say - agrees with me.

Chair and plate rails on walls, rails down halls and the Rails system-thighy-whatever that is used to make up Web pages. Dozens and dozens of Web pages...

I think so, too.

what are "halls?"

as in deck the halls?
Mon, 01/28/2008 - 6:08 PM Permalink
Terry

I really liked the idea of a calendar being a dozen pages. It can sit on walls - but I've never seen a calendar run down halls.

And if that is to tie in the name of tears, cheers, etc., calendars tend not to have that affect on people.

Somebody on the other board mentioned Deck the halls... Wreaths sit on walls, boughs of holly deck the halls, and the Twelve Days of Christmas fill a dozen pages

I don't see how it fits with anything though
Mon, 01/28/2008 - 6:11 PM Permalink
Terry

KItch - that's how I see halls...or hallways.

Could be hospital corridors, school hallways, halls as in rooms,
Mon, 01/28/2008 - 6:11 PM Permalink
Terry

That's good about the 12 days of Christmas. Wish that would lead somewhere.

The clue says a dozen pages. Even a baker's dozen would only be 13.

At IM, who would be the person who won, then lost?
Mon, 01/28/2008 - 6:15 PM Permalink
excavating stud

I think I mentioned it earlier, but maybe the name is very long ("could fill 12 pages" so to speak).

you mean to tell me that somebody wanted to sign a song about deckorating their hallway...

geez..

Don't walls run down halls? I think I just blew my mind. :pbpt:
Mon, 01/28/2008 - 6:18 PM Permalink
Terry

The clue also says this name. Not two...but could be first and last name. Helen Keller, Robert Frost, Jesse Ventura, Hawkeye, but what name and how would it fit with the hall, wall and dozen pages?

IT could be the name of a building - Galtier Plaza, Masonic Lodge, First Nat'l Bank, Excel Center, or a business - Caribou, Matty B's,

etc.

Not counting kindergarten, there are 12 grades in school.

I almost spewed Coke all over the place here! Great thinking!

Kids run down halls too. Mine sure did when they were little.

aisles or isles? Hmmmm.

Isles would bring us back to Harriet Island or Phalen.

Pages and music halls (or theatres) fits together.
