I was at merriam from about 11:30 to 1:00 last night, about 10-20 people there along with the camera crew, got a little on-air time, that's my only consolation on this sad, sad day

I was thinking about that movie. It will take a couple more hunts to get enough filmming to make a movie.

At this rate, we will need about 5 more hunts to get decent enough footage. They followed me and a couple of my friends while we were at merriam digging and talking strategy. Documentation on how close i really was

I'm happy for the kid who found it... And after my poetic ranting last night about the hunt being turned over to sponsorship, and the planned weekend dog and pony show at the PP, I think it's poetic justice that no one will be there to take part in the commercialism!!!!! too bad, so sad for the revenue lost......

stat kid-

no one cares about your cockiness. invest in some spelling and/or grammar lessons, thats a start.

Also, there are weight-loss programs u should check out.
