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

First Video - The Deed is Done 

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
Clue #1 

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
Clue #2 

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.
Clue #3 

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
Clue #4 

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.
Clue #5 

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.
Clue #6 

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
Clue #7 

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.
Clue #8 

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
Clue #9 

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
Clue #10 

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
Clue #11 

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

that PP Video mask more resembles MJ than V for Vendetta, however.

Here's more fishing... The videos all look Tragic as in Shakespeare

...And he had Twins one of which died...

Gotta go get ready for work

that's why its called 'fishing'

I always thought the term was stretching, but it's an interesting noodle.

Lets think of MJ songs...I'm listening to them now on my headphones :grin:

No. Let's not think about Michael Jackson. He has about as much to do with the Winter Carnival as the Duke Boys and General Lee.

(Slamming the Kibosh on any/every wisecrack about Daisy Dukes as well)

There's probably something relevant in James' Goodhue's bio, although there is no mention of Twins in it anywhere. Well just have to see what 'Avatars' pop up next.

if the Mother is indeed Mother Nature ...the children (don't now if they are indeed twins)...Mr. Snow Miser (North) and Mr. Heat Miser (South)

Sins means youre going to h e double toothpicks = South reference again

Not sure if relavant but James and Henrietta Goodhue were the parents of twin siblings: Mary and James Goodhue

sorry you took me so seriously... In earlier post I said what my thought was about shakes and tragic and his wife having twins... The MJ thing is something I thought we were all having fun with.. no hard feelings though :smile:

of course...aren't they still around?

In the special, Snow Miser controlled cold weather all over the Earth; his archnemesis is his stepbrother, Heat Miser. Mother Nature herself is their mother.

guess they arn't twins.

so Mother Nature in Bass & Rankin was married twice? cause the boys are 'step'

Honestly, one of the first things I thought of was MJ's Thriller video when I saw that video clue.

I definitely think it's a MJ mask...that was the most freaky, hilarious video! Loved it! Unfortunately, even when I click on BFG's link, it crashes my browser...what's up with that? I could just watch that video over and over :sillygrin: :goofy:

I feel like I should have been off my duff hunting today but don't know where to look yet.

btw, are we having a noodle recap thread like last year? When I last looked at that thread, it was still for last year

Both of the first two clue videos have a little focus on the left arm. At the beginning, it is the only one exposed on the Viking. And, on the second, it is the one that comes off. Something to think about for the third video.

I would go to Yarusso's, but I kind of want to have dinner there too. I don't know if I can make it to the paper especially if it is going to be so late again. I might just meet people out at Yarusso's for some food and noodling and then head for home around 10ish. So, yes, I would be up for Yarusso's. Just name the time!
Mon, 01/18/2010 - 3:09 PM Permalink
Art Vandelay

I think we should do Yarusso's especially since they are giving us such a deal on food and drinks.

barefootguy

Is it official that Yarusso's will stay open later for us? Jana was saying she thought they would if enough people were there.
Mon, 01/18/2010 - 3:10 PM Permalink

We are planning to have dinner at Yarusso's. I can't stay late as I have an important date in the morning, but thought dinner sounded good to me.

tim_the_hunter

I just want to go somewhere that is going to be open late enough. With the Pioneer Press not letting people in until 11:30 it make sense to stay at the bar until 11:15 or so.

lilslim

So how about Yarusso's till around 9, then bulldog till clue? That should satisfy both the early birds and the night owls :wink:

sounds good. When are you planning on getting there?

Rich said that he talked to Annette and that she said they would stay open as long as people are there and hanging out.

If anyone is at the Bull Dog, that back far corner near the bathrooms is the ONLY table that has access to wall electric outlets (for laptops when needed). So, if anyone gets there early that is where I suggest meeting when people show up there, instead of the front near the windows, though I like it near the front, it's just better for anyone that ends up with a low or no battery. Before or after the clue time.

I think we'll be there around 7ish.

I was going to have a bonfire tonight ...have a Christmas tree to burn :smile:

soooo, feel free to BYOB and stop by around the Ring O Fire at my place.

Gonna get the fire up and going about 830-9. But feel free to drop by after 730.

So time to go to the bar or paper still.

I have Pepsi.

good, cause the waitress couldn't locate any others anywhere else that was close to the tables AND no one would trip over. Is that the shorter tables to the right when we first walk in?

Sweetness. Was just waiting for the word. Will you text me your address??

we were there until about 1030 last night. while i don't normally speak for people, i know lilman's account isn't active on here right now, and he has told me i can speak for him. according to a phone call he had with annette, she said they'd stay late for us.
