yeah, they play all sorts of types of music....most suitable for people ages 21-30... because yes, drinking is mandatory. They are a huge local band, they always pack the bars.
Not so fast, ClueMaster. Time has shown that few can outlast me into the nighty-night hours. And for a couple more days, I've got the added bonus of two extra hours thanks to my West Coast perch. Just two more days, and I'll be freezing my a** off with you guys in St. Paul. Two days.....
I may just have to fight my way to #15260 just to feel good about myself again. I'm worried my slowness on the draw is going to leave me in the lurch when the diggin' gets good. I'd hate to be sitting there, gasping over my shovel when someone screams out those dreaded words: "I found it!"
Aces, y'all. I'll be lurking for a bit in case anyone signs in. I've got TONS of slogging to do. I haven't really noodled clues four and five at all due to real job obligations. Work's a bummer during the hunt, so I finally got my act together and decided to take time off this year. Others have been doing it for years. Once the coolercrew.com article archives begin to take shape, you'll read about some fantastic characters. One lady comes up from Florida every year. I bet there are more like her, too.
I can vouch for my wife and I who will be making the journey from San Francisco; and Trent and Jackie, the documentary filmmakers, have come in from NYC.
So the hunt is officially coast-to-coast in 2001! Woo hoo!
Good night DG sorry but I was 'working' on something. I got something to throw out #5 refers to two different things one being superman and one being SuperAmerica. If I got this right, there is a sa staion on Mcknight (man of steel-superman) another clue says put a smile on your face(minneHAHA) Mcknight and Minnehaha intersect each other at Battle Creek Park .
I was thinking of SuperAmerica myself. I certainly wouldn't rule it out, BUT the clue says "look for his name" not "look for part of a name" or something to that effect. The clue writers can be vague, but they don't generally expect us to reach too far. They let us reach on our own. I'm more into the idea of Kent Street.
Noodling toward the East Side is a fine idea, though.
FYI I have done some research and found out the the man of steel was a book written by Harry Elders but I doubt if this has anything to do with the clues.
Man, whoever said that Marydale was a good park to go look, was on somethin, me and Shaggy 2 Dope just got done there and its whack as hell, its about the size of my front yard, give or take a couple feet. and pretty much NOTHING matches up cept the street names. We also went to MLK, and the same thing....the park has a "SMALL" bit of potential, but we'll see what the next clue brings forth. AND I'LL WARN YA'LL IN ADVANCE!! STAY AWAY FROM THE TREES!! we went through them and were chased out by a swarm of giant flying squealing bats.
I am leaning more and more to BCP. I know that side of town well. Something is scratching at me and telling me it is here. All the clues fit almost perfectly. Again, it is just speculation at this point.
Yeah Im with DaBrewGuy, Battle Creek seems to be the best. I've been to every park/rec center mentioned, and most are straight up mad silly, but there are 1 or 2 with some potential.
alright here's the deal, I'm bouts to go do that thing where you lay around for a couple hours with your eyes closed. If I see that I have 1,000 messages to slog, grog, or whatever you do with em, I'll be one unhappy wicked clown.
And listen to that Brewdude, he knows what he's talkin bout.
Everybody must be huntin' err.... or sleeping I wonder which one it is.... or perhaps all the regs are laughing at all those people in the frog pond who knows
Here is what first came to mind for me, since I just woke up now and read the clue. Man of steel = tin man from the wizard of oz. I was thinking that perhaps Jack Haley, the original Tin Man might play some role in this. Any thoughts?
A man of steel cannot be real But another has plenty of mettle Look for his name around our deal And you'll be in very fine fettle --------------------------------- Isn't it strange how mettle means courage, and the cowardly lion...
5th clue has a 'duel' hint... man of steel not real thing refers to a KNIGHT (mcknight) and ;ANOTHER; refers to a SuperAmerica on Mcknight keeping in mind 'put a smile on your face' MinneHAHA crosses mcKNIGHT low and behold right across the street we have Battle Creek Regional Park. Look for the 6th clue to disclose a source of 'water' Bet on it.
for some reason i'm seeing some connection to the wizard of oz. man of steel (tin man played by Jack Haley), another has plenty of mettle (cowardly lion played by bert lahr). East and West, wicked witch of the west...
good night.......now leave!!!!!! just kidding
Its a local band that jams out in the twin cities: http://www.unclechunk.com/
he he he
Nope never seen them....what kind of music?, must be drinking music!!!
yeah, they play all sorts of types of music....most suitable for people ages 21-30... because yes, drinking is mandatory. They are a huge local band, they always pack the bars.
ok all...time to retire to my chambers...the dentist will be awaiting me tomorrow morning..the day i will be ten thousand dollars richer
just hate it when bands play all sorts of music because you just can't listen to more than one song at a time!!! ;-)
You so silly Auggie! hehehe

"Now I lay me down to sleep
The Med - in snow - should safely keep.
If ittiz found Beefore I wake,
I pray the Devil the *@&^!#^ take!"
Nitol!!! See you later!

And, check this out, I actually got a Joe!
Green!!!! Are you frickin' kiddin' me!
In the years we've been doing this, I seriously think I've only gotten one or two Joe's. A couple of nights ago DDY beat me to it.
I may just have to fight my way to #15260 just to feel good about myself again. I'm worried my slowness on the draw is going to leave me in the lurch when the diggin' gets good. I'd hate to be sitting there, gasping over my shovel when someone screams out those dreaded words: "I found it!"
OH, NO!!!
I'm sorry!
Greg, ittiz SOOOOOO GOOD to hear from you!!! Can't wait to see you!!!
JOE!!!!!!
Well, goodnite, Greg. Neat seeing you here. There's plenty o'coffee. Have a great evening and see you soon!
SCDs, All!
Okay, just ran off a quick e-mail to thank our wonderful Cooler Crew archivists. Where was I? Oh, yeah. Trying to catch a Joe...
And...
That's more like it! JOE!!!

I'm also starting to think that "duel" is telling us each clue yields a double standard. Perhaps, two 'hints' for one clue.

Thanks Shaggy that was pretty 'cool'
Everybody must be huntin' err.... or sleeping I wonder which one it is.... or perhaps all the regs are laughing at all those people in the frog pond who knows
I can operate ibm 9672, windows based, but I have all sorts of problems with Linux. Red Hot linux blows!! Thats my humble opinion

what is the history of Mr Rice(Rice street)????
Another twist to this tale.... 'VERY FINE' could possibly be a reference to a juice bottle.
I'm stuck on BCP until something tells me differently.
5th clue has a 'duel' hint... man of steel not real thing refers to a KNIGHT (mcknight) and ;ANOTHER; refers to a SuperAmerica on Mcknight keeping in mind 'put a smile on your face' MinneHAHA crosses mcKNIGHT low and behold right across the street we have Battle Creek Regional Park.

I'm off to the BWCA for the weekend. I'll be back Sunday night. GOOD LUCK every one.
Checkin' prefs' sorry
Man of steel, but another has plenty of mettle (courage). Man of courage? Who is referred to as a man of courage, all I can think of is Nelson Mandela
This man of steel or courage, his name is in the park or surrounding the park. Whether it be a street, business, dedicated bench, etc.
good morning. my thought was also of a knight
dont think there are any statues in battle creek
what is the history behind lexington ave? who is it dedicated after?
how do I get to Marydale?
howabout the statues outside the small park infront of the capitol?
whats the name of the park in front of the capitol? lots of statues maybe men of honor!!
