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

It gets cold there? I tgought it waslike Iran/Iraq where it was always hot. Did you go up in altitude? That mite make it colder, up in the mountains or sumpin.

Betch'a can't say for security. I understand. Rather have you, all of you, safe than satisfy my courisity.

Plus anything like a normal temp may seem really cold since you're used to hot. Maybe that's it.
Thu, 01/28/2010 - 12:21 PM Permalink

Also, but I'm not positive, I think the farther you go in either direction (north/south) away from the Equator it gets colder.

zephyrus

No, it is sea level. But I am not used to upper 30's when I wake up. Actually around 40 or so by then. I could see my breath. Nice thing s that it is nowhere near as humid here as it is in Basrah. So I can breathe air now.

But the southern hemisphere is having summer now! LOL! So maybe you're just coming down with a cold! LOL!

I am now closer to the equator. I dunno what it is. When I was in Camp Beuhring, Kuwait before we left for Iraq, it was hotter there then, too.

No user inform…

Thanks for letting me lurk. I was armchair hunting and enjoying the noodles. Maybe next year I'll be physically able to participate or at least, confident enoough to share noodles. Just want to share that this site has been the most encouraging to fellownoodlers, and seems to have the most comradery of sites I have perused. Can't beleive all the sour grapes on PP site.Congrats you guys, that it was some of your own. Kudos to brass monkeys wife for putting up with puck frenzy in late pregnancy.

Congratulations to Rob and Jake; this is your moment to shine.: :smile:

How odd! Very interesting. Very fun stuff to ponder. I have to noodle the humandidity to see if that gives me any ideas.

Are there leaves on the trees? Is there snow? Does the moon cresent differently?

Welcome, Jackster. Saw you lurking but was not sure you were here or another Ableminds forumn. Glad you had a good time and enjoyed youself. Chime in whenever you feel like it, there's no time limit. Happy you felt comfortable enuff to come out of lurkdom.

The whole reason The 'Crew has this site is we don't tolerate that crap. We preach mutual respect. For the most paret it's pretty well adhered to.

Nice to have you on board!

There are leaves on the trees, but they thrive during the winter, when the flies come out. It's too hot for them during the summer. No snow down here, but thereis up north by Mosul, and along the eastern side by the Iranian mountains. The moon looks the same here asit doesathome, I think that changes morewith how far north and south you are than anything. But the past few days it has looked like the Chesire cats smile from the Disney version of Alice in Wonderland.

Nope, I went to Qatar. They are supposed to host the 2012 Olympics. I saw a man pee outsideof his truck, on the side of the freeway. He gotmy vote for Olympic steward.

Pretty expensive mall, the Bellagio, is there. I saw a Lamborghini in the valet parking there.

say, to all you new folks who just signed up, stick around! you paid your 10 bucks, why not make more than two weeks worth of use out of it. if you're not in the know, the wc hunt is not the only one we engage in. we keep track of the city festival hunts, and in about four weeks, allisonwonderland will be kicking off his annual mock hunt!

And besides the hunt, there are all the rest of us that hang here all year. Nice, less frantic, easy conversation in between the Winter Carnival each year.

So consider this an invitation to hang out now and again during the off season.

And welcome out of lurkdom crafty jack! Hope you take this opportunity to get to know us better and let us get to know you.

Hope to see everyone at the 13th annual Rehash Bash on Sunday. That's also a nice easy time to chat with folks and enjoy some fabulous food. This crew enjoys good food and most are excellent cooks.

The very first spin on tonight's Wheel of Fortune was "fuzzy earmuffs."

Awkward.

No wonder the clue writer picks odd places to hide the thing. He uses mapquest :barf:

Granted, I used to use mapquest years ago, before newer and more sophisticated sites popped up. And I got more into the hunt, and geocaching, and mapping in general.

Yeah, I hang out here most of the time (I'm rarely spotted out in the wild these days, heh). It's my best source of local information on events and happenings (whether that's about a treasure hunt or anything else in general). And even some more broad spectrum things like a cool website or giveaway or what have you. Sometimes I can benefit from someone else's knowledge, or I try to share my own.

Yeah. Can you believe it?!

And the second spin was "DOUBLE-fudge brownies"!!!

Anyone wonder if they had a 12th clue video made up?

If so, I wonder what kind of costume the clue writer would have had next. Most of them were very bizarre.. Any speculations?
