Clue 1:

Its in a park

liking lam's religious overtones

bid you fair welcome, to me evokes the gates ajar or "wide as triple e". but god knows there are plenty of other options for that one. like the "main" entrance to phalen off of wheelock.

Interestingly this is the second year in a row they invoke the vulc. huzzah! also, "this could be heaven or this could be hell" does come from our theme song. call in the fbi again. they're explicitly making it a cooler crew hunt.

Clue 2:

could be referring to business as well. my first thought would be james j. hill. the great northern, at least under that name, never went into bankruptcy even during the financial panics, as other rail lines of the time did. (its predecessors did, with hill buying the initial railroad out of bankruptcy court, and then buying it again effectively from himself in another bankruptcy hearing). this one rings true to me, as hill was one of the boosters of the original carnivals and its been a big thing to have the 125th anniversary of the carnival.

And J made me change mine from Alice too. Grrrr!

Just glad that Posen is on the board that Jake got the rest of the parks since it wasn't chosen on the other board. Artemis got 25 on that board.

Yea, I saw that noodle too. It fits, but that's way too small a park to give away that well on clue 2, even with all the snow.

I'm not sold on Crosby till I see the clue about my alma-mater's president having an unfortunate run in with the authorities. Something like:

The Pioneers strike a lot of fear

To hockey opponents they don't like

To run a school, you can't be a fool

Unless your in a park to ride more than your bike.

Did he have to stop for a potty break?

We all know he barely leaves a park for the two weeks surrounding the hunt :smile:

So a paper delivered to my house in Blaine comes directly from that office? Where is it printed?
Mon, 01/24/2011 - 2:08 PM Permalink
Clue Master

It's printed at their facility down by the river and delivered to the PP and your house from there. (via a distribution center of course)

Thanks. How might I find a distribution center?

ThoseMedallingKids

One thing I note from the first verse of this last clue is how it is inclusive. They use the term us instead of them. So it makes me think initially of the PP bigwig who is leaving. Otherwise it would have to be referencing someone who led all of us, like a politician. I know he is going to Cleveland but it seems to be too early to name a street. I think that it's just referencing what it will be in. The more meatier part is about taking more steps. To me it's a good early clue because of the double meaning. It could mean go outside of St Paul, or it's in a bigger park and you have to walk far to get it. Or both...

I like it TMK... also it got me thinking

 there are houses surrounding the park and its deep in the park. Not near the doorsteps ...

To me .....my 2 cents worth.....

We bid you fair welcome, whether heaven or hell come

the PP is biding every1 a fair hunt and welcome ...no matter how many people think otherwise...or how much pissing and moaning they do...The hunt is on and go find it

Kinda like come hell or high water ...it is what it is

The PP boards are just loaded with dizzying noodles about Goodhue's dialogue in the Pre-Hunt videos. May I just point out the redundant fact that the CLUES are ALL that MATTERS to anyone new in here.

The videos are just distractions and have no relevance whatsoever - unless that is, of course, they brain fart again and release the video before the written Clue again.

Out scouting a park. Saw two huskies. No poodles. Thrilled to be digging, even if it is with my window scraper.

This is the 125th anniversery of the Crosby death of the person that founded the farm. It could be a non-clue no brainer seeing this is the 125th Winter Carnival.

This, my friends, can be said for a FACT.

MnM

Agree MD, thanks for reiterating that fact. We spoke with Ben Garvin (dude who makes the vids) a lot last year, and he himself would laugh at how much people were reading into them. They are fun to look at, creepy as hell, and have absolutely nothing to do with the helping us find the medallion.

So much for huskies ...

I think the videos for the clues are obnoxious really. The taunts prior to the hunt and the deed is done ones are okay. The clue ones make me wonder who dreams this stuff up. In other worlds, they might be considered armed and dangerous. :grin:
