there are the big broomball rinks there; would the CW want crazy board people hacking that ice up?

I don't think the crazy board figured it out.

It doesn't necessarily mean it is in McMurray fields. It could be elsewhere in the park.

I think maybe it's just on that side of the park.

It is sort of interesting how many different parts of the park the clues have referenced, including the pool area excavation. Maybe they haven't pinpointed it yet.

I don't think we'll know for several more clears where in the park

Brilliant work guys!

Ry and I were at the PP and trying to track this down with others using our phones... didn't quite get there because I was looking up Shaggy DA not Shaggy Dog-- didn't know there were 2 movies or that Trail of the Lonesome Pine was a movie. I agree this does definitively tell us the park. I don't think we know the area though-- I would be surprised if it was actually in the McMurray Field area. There is a lot of fake turf there that they would not want damaged and on top of it are tons of ice rinks.

Rugby is played at McMurray; loosely connected to brett favre reference?

Pilot Shat, please keep leading them astray.

Thank you.

St. Paul Jazz Pigs Rugby Football Club @ McMurray field.

"Play rugby or go home."

Official song:

From the tables down at Half Time,

To the place where Schmitty dwells;

To those dear old campus bars

We love so well.

Sing the Little Pigs assembled,

With their glasses raised on high,

And the magic of their voices cast in spell.

Yes, the magic of their voices

And the songs they love so well,

While weÂ’re wasting and cavorting

Like the rest;

We will serenade our Buca,

While life and breath shall last,

And then pass and be forgotten

Like the rest.

Chorus

The Saint Paul Pigs are on the piss again,

On the piss again, on the piss again,

The Saint Paul Pigs are on the piss again,

Bastards all are weÂ…

We are poor Little Piggies,

Who have lost our way.

Oink. Oink. Oink.

We are bad Little Piggies,

Who have gone astray.

Oink. Oink. Oink.

Gentleman songsters all are we,

Doomed from here to eternity.

Lord have mercy on such as we.

Oink. Oink. Oink.

They got it at the crazy boards too.

If any of you have an account on the crazy board, now is the time to try and bury the thread called Clue 6 (real) because they have figured out MacMurray

I totally fucked up in my a few beers in at the bar status. I just said the Shaggy Dog was in 61 when it was really 59 when the Absent minded prof came out. Oops. That's a post edit and hope no one catches on.

Meh, the clue leaching bastards over there will figure it out by morning anyhow.

Are you able to edit over there? I don't have an account.

If you read the Como thread on the crazy board, there is some pretty good stuff there.

They have an annual game of naked rugby.

never go there anymore...don't have time...

yea, I edited it already, but some bastard replied to my unedited post already. I should flag him to the admin and see if it gets removed.
Thu, 01/27/2011 - 10:38 PM Permalink
leelabell

The thing about the dam is in there. Of course, the nitwits over there are missing the good stuff amongst all the crap.

PilotsHatGuy

I love how the crazy boards have not come even close to Como being the right park. They've got as far as the shaggy dog and McMurray but that's it. No Flubber, no lonesome pine. I love it.

Just noticed that the SS Swordfish torpedo thingy was dedicated by the Minnesota Viking Squadron... Maybe Brett was the tie in, when we didn't get it the first time?

Being brought up twice, (in my mind's clue decipherings anyway) I'm thinking this area may be the area of interest, but then again the Swordfish sunk, thus suffering the agony of da-feet... That said, should we stay away from the area?

Where is the cluewriter? If he could answer just a few quick questions for me I'd be all set.

Me think's I'm going to have to admit Da Feet...me thinks you might be right and it's Como.... I'd still have rather had an out of St. Paul Park....I get tired of the same parks over and over again...
Thu, 01/27/2011 - 10:49 PM Permalink
leelabell

That's what I'm saying.

I was talking to Tim about it and he thinks because of the parking restrictions they were basically forced to put it in a big park, even though this would be the year of a smaller or more unusual park.

queenmalley

well, the SS Swordfish is in the Beulla Zone, McMurray Field is in the Pool zone. across from each other, but need to focus on one area or the other. i wonder which one
Thu, 01/27/2011 - 10:52 PM Permalink
leelabell

But the bear is either in the zone with the lake or the zoo. The 3200 steps is in the one with the lake. I think they are just park pointing and not location pointing.

Plus the pool is being replaced.

l and a mommy

Since when have they bothered about Parking restrictions... Did you see Lilydale last year or Central or any number of hunts where parking was an issue and tickets were given out? What about Highland? It hasn't been there in YEARS thats a big park or any number of large parks out in Ramsey County?

If I were to go out right now, and I'm not, I would begin between the circular area of schiffman fountain, and the torpedo monument.

Gut feeling in the trees along Lexington.
