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.

Just to piss off jesse I think I will dig at the capitol during the day and then in front of his house at night. He's a major As...you get my point.

I say we put Scribe on the smoking point system. Each day without smoking earns a point. Each cigarette she smokes is -50 points. Negative points means she has to buy us a round at McGoverns, supply us with hot chocolate out digging, and cater the rehash bash. Sound good?

Mr.Suspect,

I agree this is not great timing for quitting but there never seems to be a good time always a sub-culture going on......:)

I'm gonna keep trying though!

Let's see....cost of a round or.....twenty at mcgoverns plus catering the re-hash bash, and providing hot cocoa versus the cost of the cigs to actually smoke yourself to death. It's a surefire way to quit Scribe!!

Virginia Slims Scribe? And I think you need to enter a contract. If you find the medallion and win the money, you cannot buy any cigarettes with them or smoke any cigarettes for a year. You may purchase all the nicotine gum or zyban or whatnot with the money, but no smoking. If you break the contract, the money is forfeited to the cooler crew

Kids,no self-interest in that contract huh?:)

hey, scribe, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

ThoseMedallingKids

If there was total self-interest, I would say I get the money. Instead, I'm sharing with the others for the benefit of the Cooler Crew. Think of the rehash bashes we could have, the mock hunts in the summer! Besides, trying to think of ways that would get you to stop smoking. Isn't that what is most important?

Oh,Ares and Kids,your selflessness and...um...communistic thinking are very moving!

Okay so much for the joe....

So on topic.....what do you all think of the latest clue?

Allison Wonderland

The Devil's Den is a wooded area that goes up a small hill in Newell Park. If it's been of help to anyone, it would be one particular person who always seems to distract at least a few hunters into going there instead of the correct park. In 99 lots of people thought it was at Newell for a while and then in 2000 it actually was. Last year some people thought they may have used the same park two years in a row. So for at least three years there have been people hanging around the "devil's den".

Scribe would have to choke up more like $400, plus, if she bought a round at McGovern's...

Scribe, keep trying. Keep trying. At least you're making the attempt. You're a better man than I, Ghunga Din...

One of these times, you'll quit. And if you're not a cold turkey person, then YES!!! High thee to your doctor!!!

The last clue sucked, even if it was almost a year ago since it came out.

Also a word of advice. Some people are just on the board for a chance to yank someone's chain, to take anything you hear with a grain of salt.

If you guys want *my* take on Devils Den (and even if you don't...), I think we're all in it rite now...

What else has helped so many in the past years? Even Maureen and Steve said they lurked here and got TONS o'ideas that helped them.

Such izz the nature o'the beast! :D

Allison,I would NEVER do such a thing and I resent the implication!

Thanks,Green,I will quit it'll just be a process is all.....:) Did you see Ares horrible tagline??
