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.

Is Ares here? I hope not, because he has suffered enough at our expense, but I can't resist.

Green's grapefruits. Me2's lemons. Ch'ares.

Very good, Dal! VERY GOOD!

THX... It matters not where I think The Med's gonna be because it'll get moved as soon as I'm within feet o'it.

Like Phalen to Newell...

Como to Marry'em.

"Sopa de Siete Chiles"

Man, that sounds tasty. What shop in the skyway? I work downtown, and am always lookin' for new stuff. Sounds better than my bologna sandwich...

Hmm, Scribe talked before about the adventures of Captain Underpants and Wedgie Woman right? Do we have a new dynamic duo? Grapefruit Girl and Lemon Lady?

Frosty, it's called the Lone Donut, and it's in the Towle Building next to Sister Sludge. Fantastic soups!

You know how your mom told you to never put beans up your nose? Take it from me, don't try to shoot them back out, either. Aye-yi-yi!

I put a small, yellow, plastic Little Red Riding Hood basket up mine when I was a kid...

This was after I survived eating the Draino. Now you know why I can handle hot chiles!!!

My mother used to always say, "green, thank GOD you were NOT twins!"

green, i don't have all that big a problem with the new forums provided they:

  • give us a place to shoot the breeze
  • make the default setting to sort messages by date instead of threaded
  • keep the format like we've got it now where you can see a group of messages at a time.

Thank you, Ares, for getting us back on topic!

Hmmm, Towle bldg. I don't get to that neighborhood much. I might have to make an exception. I think that translates to "Soup of the Seven Chilis"

Scribe rubber chicken night

oh i wish i'd have seen the rubber chicken sitting in one of the offices here friday afternoon. woulda spent the weekend with me :)

and guys, i'm always here. and even if i don't appear to be here, i do read everything!

Si, Frosti. I can find only three, though (I think they cheated and counted the various bell peppers). And today is the first time I've seen it there.

Me2, sorry for what???

Ch'Ares, the format can't be like what we've got now. Even by date, we're gonna have to click on each one, read it, either answer it or go bock out and post a new idea.

There are going to be threads on that board like no tomorrow. Nothing will be able to be followed. We'll spend all our time following threads, get behind, and be all over the place. It will be a mess and a disaster.

And I'd gotten us a "Shoot The Breeze" bock in 99, rite after Chair-O-Key. It was abused. We had our chance, I doubt we'll get another one.

We're damn lucky - due to the abuse - that we still have/had this Cooler for The Hunt.

we'll be here, robert. we're always here. well, maybe not here because the watercooler is allegedly moving to a new site under the knight-ridder banner.

I've been looking at the new site, and it appears to still be under construction. Lots of broken links, ect. Maybe when they've finished building it, it will be more appealing. Let's not get too depressed just yet...

Don't know. Someone in a different thread stumbled upon the dummy site. It's not up and running yet but will be eventually.

I truly believe in my heart that the folks here, MomPress, will do ther utmost to accomodate/help us.

They have been more than generous, kind and giving in the past. The Cooler Crew and Cooler Heads have become even bigger than what they ever dreamed and I cannot see them just sloughing us off.

All of the folks I've dealt with at MomPress enjoy and support The Cooler Crew. Most are from the TCs and understand what this stupid Hunt's all about and understand completely where our mindset is.

However... They are but one paper and have only so much sway with CA. Which, I think happens to be zilch.

Frosti, I belong to a fish forum like that...

It takes HOURS to read the stuff... Hours and hours and hours.

With postings like that, ittiz all just small groups o'conversation and you have to follow each conversation, then go back out, pick another topic or idea, follow all those threads, go back out...

It's not conducive to Hunting The Med.

Mr. News will post "Phalen."

Someone will answer him - off that original post. There's one thread that will go on...

I'll post "Como" - will get answers to my post, with people answering that post, and so on.

We'll then have two "headers" with gods knows HOW MANY answers to that, with answers to the answers, and answers to the ansers of the answers...

And all the while more orig posts will be showing up and starting more "conversations" or threads!
