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.

A good wife always forgives her husband when she is wrong.

is that when she's wrong in her mind or wrong in her husband's mind?

The problem with starting on Valentine's Day (in addition to giving me three less days to write the clues this year) is that it's always on a different day of the week. That would change the dynamics of it every year in terms of what clues fell on a weekend and which ones were on a weekday. Could just say the Sunday after Valentine's Day.

Anyway, I'm still not feeling entirely well, but I should try and get to work yet today. If it's slow, maybe I'll be back this afternoon.

Bring a towel,a bottle of rubbing alcohol and a rubber chicken.

Scribe, if I would have brought a green towel, are you saying you would NOT have initiated me?!

Amazing!!!! For those of you that think I am Mr News, **NewsFlash** When Mr. News posted during the hunt, did it ever occur to any of you that I was out at a park?!?! And for the record, Snake is not Mr News, he also takes the hunt seriously and would rather be at a park digging.

Hi all-

I loved the Kevin Bacon commerical, but I don't think a lot of people got it. It is not ranking high on the fav commercials list.

PS And, I am pretty sure it is a white towel.

Since the initiation is secret, I would think the towel is, too.

The majority thinks its white so are you saying we are all delusional? And your the only one that is right....That sounds a little psycotic to me...

but if its a bring your own towel and chicken and alcohol ceremony, knowing the color of the towel, if such a requirement does indeed exist (and scribe's lack of comment proves that it doesn't), is a necessary piece of information to have in advance of such ceremony.
