2009 - Swede Hollow

It was probably Dave Ryan...

wouldnt put it past him...

"the hunt is on..."

I agree

OMGosh, OT.

Sure... the books that came in handy I passed out to share...

figures :smile:

Doesn't the PP have some kind of identifing markers for this sort of thing?

I'm sure it does, but a newbie prolly wouldn't know that.

I just want to know if this is true.

where is that :wink:

Clue #12 - Careful down the stairs or a sled if you dare

           50 paces are neither here nor there

           Find the only tree that's worth a lick

           Then hang a right by that one big stick

           When youre nearer the water than you'd like to be

           You'll see some snow thats been dug up all week

           Don't step in the creek though your gloves might get wet

           Watch out for your neighbors puck seeking pet

           Congratulations you made medallion news

           Amazingly you never needed the clues

Thanks for another hunt that lasted all week

The plot was good and you're rhymes weren't weak

I can't wait til next year when all I'll do

Is sit around and wait for the eleventh or twelfth clue

The hunt from the past is now a race

To see who can double park and keep pace

With everyone running with half a clue

I hope I'm the lucky one that makes the news

I pray I'm wrong and its not at Swede

And in the end the jokes on me

But til we see the twelfth clue through

This little rhyme is oh so true

~borrowed with permission from my buddy benny bullett

You mean there are other private forums!? :pbpt:

Just as long as it's not on the pp boards... it's not, right?

Very clever!

Prolly don't want to mention it to the rest of us who aren't invited...

none that I know about!!!

and I look for them daily

Sad, but true. And it has basically been this way since Box retired.

Has it been found??

Last I checked at PP No

But... :ooh:

the 2nd part of that line going to drive me nuts..

I can't access any readers thru a proxy... :frown:

remind me never to listen to that radio station again

the second part of which line? i can look something up for you...

I would guess the private forum was my Yahoo group as I know someone did post that over there today. I also had this thought which I haven't seen here yet. The source of the information on Payne is the book written by Donald Empson. Maybe the cluewriter used their selective hearing to hear it as Imp Son, with an imp being interchangeable with a pixie.

interesing...

Valentine, Zena - Star Crossed Lovers, etc.

is a minnesota author...

So are people going to Wild Thymes tonight?

I think a lot of that stuff was dumped over the hillside from demolition somewhere else in the city.

Imp son vs Empson= pixie: very good, Allison!

Just to clear things up... the next line from the book snippet I posted was just r-rated, something to the extent of "she opened her legs to the gangsters".

I would never withhold info, I have no chance of ever finding the thing! I am a full blown noodler, half-assed hunter. If I did find it, I would give it to a serious crew member to turn in! :wink:

Once someone pointed out the thing about Payne having his lands confiscated for serving in the Confederate army and they got this information from a book that Boxmeyer wrote the forward to and was written by a guy named "Imp"son, that pretty much sealed it for me. Otherwise I was starting to work up a pretty good Harriet argument.

Though I still don't really feel like searching in Swede. That's more of a job for the hardcore diggers. I am off the next two days though so I won't rule out stopping by to say Hi.

I'm sure have been pointed out by now, but Payne used to be called Dacatur (as in "Daniel Decatur Emmett" the writer of "I Wish I Was in Dixie"). Not that this should matter anymore since everyone is already thinking SH.

good stuff...now why leave that out :wink:

Nice tidbit, tho, Evil!

my understand is only ONE block ...the area where prebble (sp?) comes into payne

HEH - I like it...

zena valentine is driving me nuts...doubt its the real name of the author

I've been anti-Swede Hollow from the beginning, but am going to suck up my pride. I'm heading out with rake in hand in 15 minutes.

A name like Valentine couldn't be real. :smile:

I was gone all day today and not here a computer but was dying to get Saint Mudd posted. Asked a couple people to look it up but didn't get any return calls... Great minds!!!! good job tesser!!!!

Will a rake get you anywhere with the snow in the condition it is?

I think you need to become a romance author...

big hoes work better in swede...

Well Swede does have that reputation...

Or maybe I should say, "That's what Ole said!"

Bwahahahaha!!

Hey... wait a tic... I resemble that remark. :goofy:

The Swede part of course? :pbpt:

hehehehe big hoes!

Big hoes or big hose?

Neck still likes Como

3 hours till clue time.

The clue won't likely say much anyway.

I'll bet it says Swede Hollow - again.

Can't that be said for any park? :wink:

cute

IMP - Indian Mounds Park - colic
