2002 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt

Submitted by Casey Trauer on

Yes, the medallion has been found, but there's still lots to talk about. Feel the need for more than virtual discussion? Then join the Re-Hash Bash, Sunday, Jan. 27, at noon at Merriam Park in St. Paul.

Hhhuuummmm... Ian... You *really* stink so? Back in the County? I don't know. Feels weird to me cuz I've always hunted in the City... The liability would be so much greater (read: Cost a friggin' two arms and 1.5 legs...) if anything went awry.

Battle Creek. Yeah.

Wasn't it only a formality, because I thought Jake was #1 in our hearts already ;) Are we going to keep a tally on predictions of where the medallion will be held? Nice too, how instead of counting down the days to Christmas, we're counting down the days to the medallion hunt.

I slogged thru this year's board so much, yust to get up to par... Half the folks there I've never heard of... And never acknowledged. I R embarrassed. Shame on moi.

In moi defense, I WAS busy working this year and like reading here - like NOT!

Kids... Differunt hearts have differunt Number Ones... Casey (lettuce all genuflect and kiss our buttons - MED BUTTONS!!!) izz number one in mine; followed by a close, hair's breath, second by Ian... Then there's... Oh, well. You get the idea.

Ares, contact Ian, Jakey, Trent... Or... Humble yourself if you can, and approach The Man - The Wizard - Behind The Curtain. Good luck. You must have ruby slippers and have your all your ducks in a row - in Toto...

Get it? ROFLOLPMP!!!

Well....well....well....a new board - and this early! Ma Planet seems to have her act together.

We have our buttons. We have our gear. All we need is snow and some clues.

We happened to be out and about tonight and happened by several of the parks that were part of the early clue noodling last year...Valley, Arlington/Arkwright, Marydale...seemed like yesterday.

Soon it'll be time for new clues and new noodling and long nights, long days, glee and frustration. I can't wait!

Ares, I tried but, I couldn't get it to show all messages.

When I click "All Msgs" i starts at around 28,000. When I try to go back in the thread, it will only show about 12 posts.

Hhhhhmmmmmm???

Whoops.

My math has never been very good...

Marning, All!

Kids, no cure. No cure at all.

Why called, "PP Treasure Hunt"? Ittiz "PP Medallion Hunt." I hate the 'treasure' bit. Takes away some o'the tradition and history. Ick.

Hay, Chem! Long time no read!

I'd say Mom's finally seeing that round'bout Halloween, maybe as late as Thanksgiving, The 'Crew begins pacing, pondering, noodling, gnashing o'teeth as the The Hunt genes start to kick in (ittiz got sumpin' to do with the length o'the days, I believe... Like trees going dormant, but the opposite fur us...). So She's gettin' this here thighy ("thighy" = Beeism fur "thingy.") going sooner.

Wonder if The Camo Krewe's vulching around here yet... I've been thinking o'them CONSTANTLY!!! There's all these Christmas arminents of widdo camo deer/duck/goose, et al hunters... Every time I see one o'the arminents, I think o'them... Hell! I see ANYTHING camo, and I think o'those guys!!!

Wonder if I could choreograph a short routine fur them... Would be cute... Camo tutus would be precious!!!

Whomever's taking care o'The Cooler Crew buttons, put me down for two.

I was forced into hibernation by certain individuals here. So I have to be more careful.

Well folks...how easy is the actual digging going to be this year? (knock on wood). Barring a couple of blizzards in the next month, the physical labor should be less than recent previous years, although this could cause an increase in the menatl energy needed to figure out the clues! Anyway, it's nice to know there are some others who have already started thinking about the digging at this early date.

well, jt, i *think* i have all 28,288 messages from the 2000-2001 thread. i've gotta go through and verify that, and if qwest ever gets my dsl connection changed to my new isp, i'll get it all set up sometime this weekend.

How'd you get it to work? How many files did it take? What ISP you switching to for your DSL (I'm thinking of changing too) What's the wing velocity of a sparrow?

there was a lot of magic involved. 119 html files, and the various subdirectories to store the images in.

started out doing a view all messages thing. then replaced the stuff in the address bar after the '/' with a 0. then the number of the last message that showed up in that page which for the first one was like 233 or something. and just kept going till i had them all.

i'm changing over to visi. my account's already active there, and qwest was supposed to have moved the hardware connection yesterday. 36 hours after the due date, according to their database i'm on visi, but man, i've still got a connection going through qwest. go figure. if i can't get connected to visi tonite, i'm calling qwest again. if i have to call them again tomorrow, the next call's gonna be to the public utilities commission.

She doesn't play online much anymore. I gave her the word. I don't know what's taking her so long to get back to ya.

You diabolical genius, you!

Are you switching because of Qwest's switch to MSN? Or do you have other reasons?
