2014 - Como Park

I've been thinking just that. Maybe we need to take the cw more literal.

Shats guy is active and having fun on the PP boards, haven't seen him here lately. Shats, are you here?

Anyone remember where it was found the last year we had to stand outside the Pioneer Press building for the paper?

I just had to say AAAAHHHHHHHHHH, I am so excited to get started!!!!!!!! Hello to everyone!!!! :goofy:

This is either the 3rd or 4th year at Gabe's. It started with the work for the light rail downtown.

Was is the 2007 hunt when the second medallion was found at Central Park?

Yes

Time flies!

Welcome Rex! I remember you from way back. You've been all over the place. It's a wonder that you haven't been here sooner. You come from great lineage being from the old Puck Posse crew and all.

I just noticed that "Polar Vortex" is capitalized. No real reason for that. It's not capitalized on any of the weather sites that I can see. It's like capitalizing Tornado for no reason. Could add some credence to the WBL theory.

I know I was laughing at his Jake trivia? funny stuff

Maybe it's a stripper from Alaska.... :sillygrin:

or a professional wrestler

or a monster truck

Wow. Reading the posts. WBL gaining traction and my avatar credited for the early lead.

I forgot to tell you all in over 40 years of hunting, I've never been correct by clue 3.

Using that as a prescript, I'm rethinking Harriet, the polar (ouch) opposite of my prediction.

So I'll see you all in highland, then?

Greetings!

Ready to get up and running this year. My new year's resolution was to post more!

Has anyone mentioned that the mascot for North High School is a Polar?

13 minutes to the scrambled clue.

You're in a house. All four sides of your house are facing south. A bear a walks by your window. What color is the bear?

Rob, I think your right in asking about aerated lakes, but would also include ice rinks. Broad, I know...

A standout oddity for me is the use of private twice. Military reference? Army corp?

And I've wondered out loud to my glazed eyed spouse if roam was to be a homophone for Rome, referencing a missing or destroyed church.

Which is why I only have two children...

Where is the LIKE button?!?!?!?

YUP -- that is the HUGE thing that's missing :smile:

That -- and being able to hit "enter" to complete posting. Can't tell you how many times I've completed a thought, and it's sat there on the screen in the big white boxÂ….

No scrambled clue yet. Irritating.

And I signed up yet again this year to be notified of the new clue and as always, it doesn't happen.

sandy in after he

down mired giving the

you'll them find quite pits

by old this fits was handy

pits and fits

handy and sandy

You'll find them quite handy

You'll find them quite handy

Maybe being we both came up with that, it could be correct for one line. LOL!!

mired (verb) - to sink in the mud

mire (noun) - wet swampy ground, bog

Tater....your my rock here!

Sandy Lake was renamed to Lake Como...

or north saint paul

Maybe the pits are sandy?

This seemed easier last year. Its only 4 lines.

He was down in the pits

Mired giving fits

blah blah blah Sandy

find them quite handy.

You can do this!

Well if it is a Como clue - the polar bears were unhappy (fits) in their old pit. Now they have the new one.

there aren't enough words for the clue I want to write :pbpt:

I think the blah, blah, blah part was done very well Taters.

I keep trying to rearrange words so they make sense and end up loosing the words that rhyme somewhere but at the end of the line.

And there is no snese to any of this.

Matt here by the way...kinda late getting on the site.

Hi Matt! Glad you found your way. How are you at scrambled clues?

POLAR BEAR

Species: Ursus maritimus

mari?

long shot

Kitch, that's interesting - long shot, but interesting idea.

I'm alright. I go by AW's approach, and make cutouts of each word. It's much easier to visualize how the words might go together.

After giving them fits

He was mired in the pits

down by old sandy

you'll find this quite handy.

or something like that

LOL let's try this again

he was quite handy

blah blah after sandy

you'll find them in fits

mired by old pits

idk -- maybe a golf reference, or pit/quarry hint

Sand pits anywhere?

horseshoe pits by Ramsey County Nursing Home???

nite gang...

Como Park became a public park in 1873 thanks to the landscape artist Horace WS Cleveland. It was his idea to save land in the St. Paul area for parks and he chose the land around Sandy Lake to become the first park.

better than I could come up with

WBL has an extra large sandy beach around it due to the low lake level.

After watching recent news stories, the only thing I think of when I hear Sandy is the hurricane, could there be a reference to Chris Cristie?
