My initial thought is that the He in the first paragraph is their departing editor- especially since the second stanza is so obviously newspaper related.
That's exactly what I was thinking-- this just seems like the Deborah Howell or Palin clues of the past 2 hunts. And I believe the CW would have had to been aware of that impending departure before it was announced publicly last week.
If we take many more steps away from our (PP) doorsteps (downtown St. Paul), might this imply that the park is outside the city limits, in greater Ramsey county?
There are several supposed origins of "Mind your Ps and Qs" but the most famous has to do with newspapers. Before electronic page setting, fonts were set up for pages by hand using molded lead characters. "p" and "q" look very similar, just mirror images of each other. They'd tell the type-setters to "mind your ps and qs" in other words, don't get them mixed up or print the wrong letter.
Obviously, the other references (morning deliveries, carriers, circulation, etc.) would also relate to newspapers. Seems to refer to a newspaper mogul or editor from the past.
Agree swapping the order of Q and P in clue was simply to make it rhyme. And a little ironic since that's what the whole expression is about anyway-- how they can be easily swapped.
Captain Bob Singleton, sailor, explorer, and pirate. Early in life, he becomes accomplished in the arts of navigation and thievery, talents that are to stand him in good stead in his subsequent careers as explorer and pirate. Driven by storm, shipwreck, and mutiny to a trek across Africa, he makes explorations that yield a considerable treasure, which he recklessly spends on his return to England. To recover his losses, he sets sail again, joins a mutinous crew, and becomes a pirate. The pirate crew is joined by a Quaker surgeon, William Walters, under whose influence Singleton begins to feel qualms of conscience about his crimes. Finally, his moral regeneration complete, he marries WilliamÂ’s widowed sister and lives the remainder of his life in quiet contentment.
William Walters, a Quaker surgeon. A member of the crew of a captured ship, he joins Singleton and gradually gains a considerable moral influence over him. When the two men decide to abandon piracy, Williams takes command of their ventures and dissuades the conscience-stricken Singleton from suicide so that, together, they may put their illegal fortune to a worthy use.
Captain Wilmot and
Captain Avery, masters of ships in the pirate fleet commanded by Captain Singleton.
Ittiz - there was a documentary done - No Time for Cold Feet. That story ended up in the documentary and my daughter now all grown up was filmed with a replica of that ear protection.
In that case, look for it hidden between the pages of a copy of The Caine Mutiny, the Caine being captained by US Navel Captain (P)hilip (Q)ueeg. :sillygrin:
funny. i was just sharing your story with blackmamba last night. :smile:
its one of those things thats like the coolercrew. you can check out anytime you like but you an never leave. ergo, its not the end of this. it never will be. you will always be known as the one who had the puck in the palm of her daughter's hand and then let it go, trying to be a good parent and teaching her that some things out there are things that people lose. its all innocent.
just check the damn thing before you try and teach a lesson

Perhaps it is a what it's hidden in clue again like last year.
When we were blessed with twins.
My personal 2000 joe.!

And those videos are a bit disturbing.
I think the Qs and Ps thing has to do with the rhyme.
It would make sense with the timing of the deed is done video/hiding the puck. waiting for the print version of the paper to use for the puck.
Why do I think that's not the end of this?!?!?!
