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

Oh. It's not "Mark 9," but "Mark, nine days ago."

I read all I knew to read or that I saw here to read. I'm so sorry if I was rude or offensive to you or Mystical. I did not mean to be. Please forgive me. I would never want to hurt her.

oh no offense. its just that someone shared a memory of mark at the funeral, and then that same person shared that same memory with the writer at the paper who may have written something about nut goodies in the article.

i'm just sayin' is all. a good laugh all around. well, except for the few coolerheads whose jaws made audible thuds when they hit the floor of the church :wink:

In long track speed skating, team pursuit was a new event in the 2006 Olympic Winter Games. Rose Oval skating...any other speed skating venues...they USED to do speed skating on Lake Como (but no so much in Swede Hollow, unfortunately).

Don't feel bad, green. I read it the same way you did and thought he was talking about an old Lincoln or something.

Oh. (Wiping sweat off brow). I may have read that, or read it here. Mr. Nut Goodie nuthead. I know who all I need to throttle when I can. That's why I chimed in with Slim. LOL!

But, hey. A hug's as good as a throttle to green. Still you should be ashamed. Shamey-shamey. How dare you not include me!!!!!

We saw Joe for sure, maybe another - you'd have to ask Marley for details - it was late (early?) and my memories are foggy.

zephyrus

OK... just thinkin' before I head to bed...

Clue 1 - Yeah, its cold and icy and stuff. So we hid the thing.

Clue 2 - Definitely sounds Klondike Kate-ish for three lines, then goes out to nowhere. Could possibly refer to the Klondike Twins. Not to mean them themselves, but they were famous ZOO animals.

Clue 3 - You would be looking high and low on a picturesque route, traveling above the gravel.... on Cafesjian's Carousel

Ta-da.... Plausibility for R.R.'s Favorite Park

Okay, goodnight

us??? giving you support? dude you got it all backwards!!!! you're the one giving us the support. and don't you ever forget it, because we sure don't! and for that, i for one, am eternally in your debt. i still remember how horrified i was walking into the va hospital a few years ago when sue's cousin was in there dealing with his leg. definitely a government institution, and definitely not a place to go for a morale boost. i remember saying to sue "this is how we take care of the people who have put their lives on the line for us?" its appalling.

Can't get that southern drawl voice out of my head for Clue #2.

Who was Southern, sulky and unforgiving?

Scarlett O'Hara.

I know the name has been mentioned before but I wonder if that is a name we could put on that avatar with any certainty?

Not sure who the vulcan would be, but I recall that Rhett planted some unwanted kisses on Scarlett.

Not really thinking this is going anywhere, but it is another tidbit I'm filing away in the back of my mind, for now.
