I have 5 kids, and I seem to always text them or leave messages on their Facebook pages. Twitter is a Facebook wannabe.

   So I was saying those old cell phones you actually called people. My son posts messages and photos on his Facebook page from his iPhone, that is how advanced cell phones are compared to the first cell phone in my photo on my post.

   I also IM my kids on Facebook. We don't talk all that much, but we keep in touch everyday through non-speaking technology.

Plus, when I first started the Hunt we ran to the PP at midnight then had to run back home to post the clue. Now, a Crew member can get to the PP and iPhone or type in the clue from their car or from the PP lobby. Much faster and great improvment for the Hunt!

    I always get a kick when the Hunt is in the end, and all these hunter's cell phones go off around 11 pm. So funny! The park lights up from the cell phones and you hear all this ringing!

This was the first cell phone I seen used in the general public. A guy was using it on a golf course in Mendota Heights back in 1988. This one sold for $2000 used back then. His had a way longer antenna though.

Looks like one of those portable car starters!

BTW - does anyone have one of those power packs if we get those -30 search days again?

Thanks for the reminder to buy one of those things. It's gonna be a tough one for the next couple of days and I'll be damned if I'm getting stranded.

I just watched a video I got from somewhere of the lines and cars in Feb of 2003 during the HiddenFalls hunt. I was just amazed to watch it on video as I am to see it in person. It just reminds me how intense the hunt gets.

My dad's first "mobile phone".















It was mounted into the trunk of his 1969 Dodge Charger. I always thought my dad was personal friends with James Bond :pbpt: :ooh: :sillygrin:

Maybe everyone already knows this but who is Hunter Fred?

He seems to just bash and that's it.

It seems like he does it just to stir up people...

Wicked Nick

He's quite possibly the greatest medallion hunter of our time.... Nobody can match his skills and expertise...

:cool: :wink:

I'm just curious if anyone actually knows him personally?

It seems like a big prank.

Who is really that over the top in real life?
Mon, 01/12/2009 - 12:31 PM Permalink
Wicked Nick

I dont think he's ever given us the chance to get to know him...

He's just some dumbass, whos been over at the PP boards, the last few years...

he does nothing but talk alotta trash in his 1950's greaser lingo, hate on the Cooler Crew (or whatever his name for us is, that day), claim a buncha b.s., and continually challenge us to "step up to his face and do something".....

but he can be fun to play with...

So, Wicked Nick: Why do people over at the PP boards tell me to avoid you at the Pre Bash and in general, say you are "dangerous"; I asked why they say this, but they haven't answered me yet. Is this just trash talk?

Mad_Dach5und

Nick can be dangerous. Kinda like if you meet a pit bull. Just toss him a cookie and he'll be your buddy for life.

Nick once killed a man with a trident.
Mon, 01/12/2009 - 1:37 PM Permalink
Wicked Nick

short answer - yes, its trash talk...

about the only thing i'm dangerous on, are the eyes...

im a sexy guy.

just ask Cluemaster - i've turned him down several times.

It may be a bit early to talk Spring Cleaning, but...

Has anyone discussed moving / removing folders inside here?

I dunno if TC & Areas want to keep 'Flowers for Sue...' on the top page anymore, or of you want the "Look and Feel Test Folder" hidden inside the Code of Conduct or some thing like that. I dunno how complicated a folder move can be, I'm just thinking streamlining the site for when the hunt gets crazy.

BAD NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At 3:30 pm this afternoon I receive a call from the Parent Company of Matty B's... as of yesterday they SHUT THEIR DOORS!!!!

It is now 3:45 and I have already made several Phone Calls to other bars (including McGoverns) in the area... it looks as though WILD TYMES may be able to accommodate us... I am calling back at 6:00 to talk with the manager... the only hang up will be that there is a WILD Game that night so we may need to move our start time to 8pm...

I will post again tonight what I finalize...

(I do feel sorry for the young girl that called from HDQRTS as I was not very pleasant when she told me the news)....

Wicked Nick

does this mean Matt Birk isnt gonna play for the vikings next year?....

in all seriousness though....

CRAP!

you want me to make some calls too?

Ive got nothing else to do right now, other than shovel snow - which im trying to avoid, since im sick....

and if I stay on here, i'll just annoy the hell outta you guys (what else is new)

Nothing on the PPress yet. Why are they closing, this hard economic times? I thought bars help with stress.....

oh shovel snow? well do I have some snow for you.

um... we would have to drive but a good chance for OBBS to have us.

WYLD TYMES wont have enough room ....Great Waters is okay if we get the upstairs. What about TOP HAT? probably not enough room there either. Something in Galtier? or the Radisson? whoops I mean Crowne Plaza?
Mon, 01/12/2009 - 2:19 PM Permalink
Wicked Nick

is the top hat, the same place as the hat trick lounge?

they have a band on Saturday, and might be kinda crowded.... also dont really have a "party room", persay....

The economy must be hurting Matty too. I wonder if he sold that $3+ million dollar house in Ivy Falls yet.

What is "Obbs" restaurant?
Mon, 01/12/2009 - 2:44 PM Permalink
Wicked Nick

I agree with the Obbs deal.... but just seems like DT would be better?

what else is down there?

does the liffey have room? I doubt it?

alarys

hunan garden

wild times...

great waters

hat trick/top hat

tom reids

im willing to bet we're gonna hit dead ends aplenty, mostly because of the Wild game, and most places not wanting to book parties during a game...

either that, or they'll want a large payment/drink/food agreement before-hand...
