13th Annual Rehash Bash and Other End of the Winter Carnival Festivities
Sunday, January 31, 2010
Newell Park Pavilion
900 N. Fairview Ave.
Saint Paul, MN 55104
11:30am-2:30pm
The 13th Annual Rehash Bash will be held on Sunday, January 31, 2010, at Newell Park, from 11:30am to 2:30pm. As always, its a potluck, and since we\'ve got the building, there will be plenty of power indoors for crock pots. Donations will be accepted to cover the $136 cost for renting the facility. MrMnMikey has some door prizes available. Since this isn\'t Super Bowl Sunday this year, if people want to stick around past the 2:30 closing time, we can start a fire in one of the fire rings.
In addition, many of us long-time Coolerheads are loyal servants of Vulcanus Rex. Join us for the Vulcan Victory Torchlight Parade, followed by the Vulcan Victory Dance. Information on the Parade Route is from the 2006 Vulcan Krewe. The best places for viewing the parade are going to be at the end of the parade route, as His Majesty, Vulcanus Rex LXXIII, the true King of the Winter Carnival, overthrows that other guy on the steps of the St. Paul Central Library, across from Rice Park

When January’s slanting snow,
Makes us dream of Mexico
St. Paul emerges from Wintery sleep
To search for treasure buried deep
Notice to every hunting battalion,
We have hidden the Pioneer Press Medallion
Where? You ask in husky shout,
That’s for us to know, and you to find out
Turn off the tube, leave your hovel
Grab your walking stick and shovel,
Whether you be giant or runt,
The only way is to join the hunt
For to the hunter belongs the spoil,
Hunt by day, or Midnight oil,
Hunt in boot and sturdy glove,
Hunt with pal, or old true love
For you who hunt each and every year,
We raise a lusty St. Paul cheer
“Good Luck”
And now, let us be blunt,
Get off thy duff, and hunt, hunt, hunt

All hail, O Fire King, of thee we sing
Thy blast of winter heat scorches
When ice was like concrete it would\'ve been so sweet
If the Vulcans plowed with their torches
Emerge from the den as we once again
Offer a bodacious bounty
And this tip to the frozen: bring thick lederhosen
To public land in Ramsey County
Clue #1 Video
Hear ye all crews, now come the clues
For this task I am the Czar
With each rhyming gift, this shape I will shift
Listen well to each avatar
Kissed by a Vulcan, she left him sulkin\'
\"Sir Soot, I\'ll not forgive these sins!\"
Her airs Elizabethan, her language, bleepin\' heathen,
Our mother once blessed us with twins.
Look high, look low, wherever you go
Follow a picturesque route
There are ways to travel away from the gravel
That keep you in hot pursuit
Code by Morse should set your course
To long dashes that dot the landscape.
You or your avatar should park your car
On your way to this great escape.
Take a westerly tack up from the stack,
A landmark most uncouth.
Figures grand in scale point to a trail
Of footprints left by our sleuth.
You\'ll want to go shopping where things are hopping
And storeowners once dropped anchor
Go down the main drag, but be sure not to lag,
You\'ll have plenty for which to thank her
Escape your troubles where the water bubbles
Or gurgles like a stream.
You may be chargin\' right up to the margin.
Look for a productive seam.
Down on the delta where there\'s no ice to melta
The purple horde raids a golden legion
Today before kick off the prize you\'ll pick off
If you search in just the right region
To find the seed, energy you need
In search for your clues to glean
What once was planted is taken for granted
Stored in one of fifteen
Not far from stones and ancient bones
Lay clues that are fit for Jim
Lure the egrets to yield all secrets
And you should satisfy him
Get your kicks by hitting the bricks
Admiring the trees and view
Be ever glad hopping pad to pad
Like amphibians in\'52
Stonehenge tumbled down near a crumbled town
Not far from the lights of the city
If you would hike away from the pike
You might stumble on something pretty
Upstream from the landing lay a place in good standing
Where people prayed, God willin\'
Now midst the cocklebur and rusted spur
Is nothing by murder and killin\'
This park is a sliver, from ancient beds to a river
In neither is the prize to be found
Look for the goods among timber and woods
Do not dig in the fossil ground
Go for a lark in Lilydale Park
Between Water Street and the river
The city boundary sign and the old rail line
Define the zone that will deliver
You\'re outside the pale if you\'re close to the rail
It\'s not to be found near the tracks
Be nice and cooperative, respect private property
On public land launch your attacks
Within this area lies medallion hysteria
A tangle near the river - not too close!
About four dozen paces from the waterline to places
Where you should tromp, dig and freeze your nose
Two parks in Frogtown that would be feasible to hunt - both rec centers. The first and largest is West Minnehaha on Minnehaha and backs unto Pierce Butler.
The second is Scheffer at Thomas and Marion. That's the rec center that used to have that one wall of painted shoes. That wall has since been repainted.
Ha! My tush-fie phone spell-checked Goodhue to goodbye and I didn't notice.
Oh, yeah, not only bleepin, but using the Elizabethan curses too
 :wink:
but we take the word Vendetta and it doesnt do anything for us, like Klondike Kate and Michael Jackson.
CM mentions in Vendetta, something about Nov 5th, Revolution or something.
Also taming of the shrew - Kate/Katherine she had a mouth on her...

In 1976, the Winter Carnival adopted a policy that banned smooching as a means of marking; it would now have to be done by hand, administered to the forehead or cheek, and only after consent was given. But the following year, a coalition of feminist groups, which included NOW, complained that the Vulcans were still stealing kisses. In a letter to the Winter Carnival board of directors, the feminists demanded that the board keep a tighter leash on the alleged horndogs.
Owing to their diatonic nature, Elizabethan airs sound
like snatches of old psalm-tunes. They are all quaint,
many of them are pleasing and even powerful in their
emotional appeal, but, to ears accustomed only to modern
music, they are uttered in a dead language which sounds
often harsh and crude.
and:
The songs with musical accompaniment fall again into
two classes Airs and Ballets, or Songs. Airs were part-
songs like madrigals, but differed in that they were accom-
panied by a consort of instruments. The words are written
in stanzas. The musical time is usually simple and slow,
and the music not without contrapuntal devices, but the
intention was to make every part sing the same syllable at
the same time in strict diatonic harmony. For example,
the old psalm-tunes are " airs."
love the term "horndogs"
Elizabethan airs were finely textured, charming, witty reflections of
contemporary life.

saying it both ways and then watching the vidio i would say it moree like soo (lines) then foot also.
I keep thinking Souch the earth is not your mother.
But what if clue 2 is referring to baseball? (twins) also if you take elizaethan airs to be saintly -- but foul language .. can't you come up with saint paul saints?
dunno. limited on my nooding here at work, but I just keep reading it.
still like the area down by schmidt brewery too tho - sir soot (power plant now defunct?) sins = global foot prints on mother earth?
Steph is due in 18 days so anytime now.
I can escape during the day and during the weekend.
I think this is a two part clue, Brassmonkey. One is the first three lines and the other, in my opinion is the last line.
if it's Souch writing clues, he could be also ref. twins won 2 world series.. vikes... play offs... I dunno, I just get this sports vibe from it.
Anyone going to Yarusso's for dinner tonight?
Good GAWD, Ares! You put one lousy pic of him on a Facebook Album cover and he wants to roast yer butt fer a mid-day snack!
As far as noodling - if the Mother is indeed Mother Earth, then the Twins would be matching Trees / Bushes / Plants Growing Next to Each other or within VIEW of the hiding spot.
"Thanks, Mad_Dach5und! You really narrowed that down for us!" :eyeroll:
Here's something called 'fishing'....
As far as the Vulcan lines above - I mentioned almost immediately after the Clue came out - did anyone think about ANOTHER type of Vulcan? Dr. Spock from Star Trek, as well as Dr. Spock the book writer about child bearing. Twins, Human Mother, difficult upbringing - hell I dunno - that's why its called 'fishing'.
