It was proven long ago that global warming was/is caused by the feds burning fields of marijuana. The higher power gave us that plant to enjoy.

"Baby Show and Tell." TOO FUNNY!!!

Well, I guess we're gonna hafta do tree forts cause there isn't any snow to build igloos with...

What about portable ice fishing houses? That would work slicker'un snot!

WW, I'm withchew. Battle Creek... Or Phalen, where it was last year before they moved it... I had a vision! Yuppers! I'm speaking the troot, direct from the gods!

Kids, I don't do trail mix any more than I do potatoe salad... Yeah... I stink "Friggin' Fighter Piolets" would make a great cussing phrase for those with Cooler Heads... Sounds a lot like what Scooby mumbles unner his breath when irritated. Yup. Shure does.

And I've no intention of obtaining gainful employment until AFTER I find The Med!!! Next year The green One will PREVAIL!!!! 24/12 hunting for moi!!!

Green, no job for you either? I'm not sure if I'll have a job by then. I know I'll be going to school. So my medallion hunting will be 20/7 or so. Maybe after finding the medallion (unless another coolerhead prevails) you can ride the success of Trent and Jackie's movie to a Hollywood career? Just make sure to work into your contracts a vacation from shooting during the medallion hunt. ;)

Jakey, it was there, wasn't it??!!!! It was! But with the crowds at Newell, well... What can I say? The Powers That Be had no choice but to move The Med.

Ian, as usual, I'm totally clueless and in the dark... What's the geocaching thingy? What does it all mean?

Kids, stink I'll pass on the Hollywood career. The world doesn't need anudder PeeWee Herman or Boris Karloff... 'Sides, it would be just anudder Hollywood film and I R more partial to Not Another Hollywood film, outta NeuYark.

Jake, Kitty's not married.

Otay... green's first seriously stupid, - I *mean* 'serious, but stupid'!!! - question for the 2002 Med Hunt...

So, like, if the Winter Carnival starts Friday, Jan 25 and runs until Sunday, Feb 3, thass 10 days... WHEN does the Frist Clue come out? Wed, Jan 23????????

I can find nuttin' anywhere on The 'Net yet about The Hunt!!! When's The Pre-Dig Gig at McGovern's?????

Lots of folks checking back in here! Way cool!!!

Jake - who is Kitty?

Green - the hunt will run from the Sunday before the official beginning of the Winter Carnival (January 20th) through the Wednesday before the end of the Carnival (January 30th).

That makes the pre-dig gig on the 19th and the rehash bash on February 3rd...unless the thing gets found sooner.

It'll be interesting if we don't have snow by then, won't it?

Is green still out there?

If so, I want to thank her for the fried green tomato recipe she posted a long time ago on a now-defunct thread. I tried it and they were delicious!

If anyone talks with her regularly, please relay this message to her. Thank you.

Thanky, Ter!!! I've changed my tagline to reflect your infinite wisdom. You are a light in the dark to this totally clueless one thass ALWAYS in the dark! LOL!!!

If this izz the Fourth Annual Pre-Dig Gig, then ittiz gonna be the FIFTH ANNUAL Re-Hash Bash!!! Gods, but where does time go? In many ways it seems like just this past January when this all got going... Where in heavens name does time go? I shure as hell don't feel four years older!!! [sniffle...] Sorry. This time o'year always makes me feel nostalgic...

WW, FINE! Don't believe me. IT WAS IN PHALEN!!! I feel it in my old bones. I was hot on the trail o'The Med, but it just wouldn't have looked good if I'd'a found it 'cuz I was the ONLY PERSON digging in Phalen. Now, I ask you... Yust how would that have looked in the press/'Press??? Me showing up THOUSANDS o'folks? There was no choice but for The Mighty Hider(s) to move The Med! Fate had decreed it! There was nothing else to be done!

I'm not angry about it. [sigh] I fully unnerstand their reasoning. It was just kind'a mean o'them to do so when I was so close. Bummer.

Mindbomb, I R here!!! So GLAD you like the green tomatoes!!! Let me know if you've a hankerin' fur anything else.

Ian, way too cute!!!

WW, quite pimping for Tim. He's too young. Oh. Wait. That was a couple o'years ago when the shovel was bigger'un him. He's driving now... [sigh]

"Time waits for no man."

"Phalen, Phalen, Phalen! Pants me!" Remember that? T'was our own 'Joe Cool' - he of "Joe!" fame...

I am SNOT pimping Phalen, WW!!! At least snot this year. I do believe The Med's gonna be hidden at Battle Creek. But it WAS in Phalen in 2000! Yuppers.

Jakey, I have to ask, ARE YOU ALRITE???? What in god's name were you doing in the emergency room? You playin' Indy driver again and smash up one o'those widdo cars???

And hopefully John's otay, too... Did you grill him about hunting this year? He gonna? He got an idea where The Med's gonna be? What's the scoop?

All this talk of pimping made me think of this for some reason: SWM looking for little blue disc for good time. Likes: long strolls in the park, late nights, puzzles. Must be accompanied by Pioneer Press subscription and have Winter Carnival medallion. Little blue disc must be from St Paul or surrounding area. None from Minneapolis accepted. If you fit this description, tell me where you are and I will come pick you up ASAP. Call at 1-888-CULR-CRU.

JAKE!!! What do you MEAN? You're a "hurting unit"???!!!! Conjours up a bazillion HORRIBLE, PAINFUL messes you could have gotten yurself into and I shall not go into detail HERE!!!

Seriously, Jake, hope you're okay... Damn you, boy!!! You BONE-HEAD!!! Don't go gettin' hurt so close to The Hunt!!!!!!! You brick-brain!!! Gods, Jakey! Who am I gonna toss Jagermeisters with if you've a broken arm... Or worse?????

Violent... I'm not backin' Phalen this year. The Med was hidden in Phalen in 2000, but it got moved to Newell sos it wouldn't look funny that only green had the brains to figure out the clues.

Very good, Kids. VERY GOOD!!!! LOL!!!

Nice palamino, or whatever, there Timmers! First Clue out on the 19th, Tim; that's the Pre-Dig Gig. Count frum there...

T'ain't gonna be a Phalen this year, Ares. Wuz there in 2000... Until they moved it... But, you never know... Best bet izz they'll hide the friggin' thing in that widdo park over by Porky's - that Allison so loved last year? Year before? And bust an artery laughing at us as we kill each other flailing away with shovels, et al.

Or at McGoverns - thass public property in Ramsey County... In a margarita - with a cute umbrella - inside a bikini, buried unner a bunch o' nuts - macadamias.

Anybuddy else getting as sunburned as I am, traipsing around in short sleeves these days? This weather really sucks. If we don't get snow soon, The Hunt folks will be increased by aboot 3,000 cuz the Snowbirds won't leave!!! The added competition The Cooler Crew duz SNOT need!!!!

Howdy-do, flounder! Welcome to The World o'High Xpectations and Diminishing Returns! :D
