we share because it's fun...and if someone can't get it, someone else just might understand these insane clues

Adamski- if people who think about the clues discuss them then people who actually think about them have a better chance of finding it than some slob who trips over it

Rocket, are you lurking?

Iz - It is a combo of too much time on our hands and the dream that we might actually find it someday.

Whatever, I'm going to go check out phalen, I'll be back in a few hours, but don't listen to the other Crap Face, he's a fake.

Adamski- Because the chances of actually finding it are pretty small and based far more on luck and stamina than being able to figure out the clues. Since most of us will never lay eyes much less hands on the medallion, being here and having been the first one to publicly declare the right interpretations of the clues is something of a consolation prize.

mostly it's because we're idiots who enjoy freezing our tails off in the frigid minnesota winter =). of course, no one who lurks here will ever find it. why? we're all too busy discussing the clues to actually go dig.

SueButt - have you had any thoughts about today's clue. You have had some thoughts on the last few days clues, so I would say you are pretty good at this.

No, I've been here from the start, if you where. you should know how to report people, which is what I just did to you for taking my name.

Adam - Unfortunately that's seldom the norm, The Med IS usually found by some poor slob. (sorry finders) But talking the clues out in the Cooler is funner than blabbing between just you and a couple of friends anyway.

AW - Nicely said

AW...some of us *have* laid hands on the med. Unfortunately for me, I can't even hunt for the darn thing- even though I want to!!

Hey Crap....it was kinda funny like 50 posts ago, but it's really getting annoying now. we know there is an imposter so please stop telling us about it. I believe you.

Well, thanks, but I'm thinking about 5 different parks/rec centers. RIDING AROUND...50's cars on university/downtown...horse(shoes) OFF BASE...blvd around park, or AW's AWOL theory VICTORIOUS...V for Vulcans, Victoria Ave..

ClueMaster - I think it is more help to talk them out on the cooler than it is to talk them out with friends. My husband asked 7 of his co-workers about the clues over an hour lunch today, and all they could get out of them were that it is near an ice rink. The cooler people really seem to have an edge on the clues, because they are hard core hunters.

I tried my best to figure out who's writing the clues this year, but security on the thing is better than that around the Survivor winner!

My experience last year. I did not register on the chat line. I just read everyones thoughts. After watching this site I was able to make it to Newell which was the correct park. My son and I were there two hours after it was found. I think this is very helpful. Since the clues seem to be much harder this time, and it is just giving us more time to chat. Pioneer press people are having a lot of fun reading too! I love it. Good clean fun.

just so everyone's clear, the alleged imposter is the one without the _. nonetheless it is quite annoying.

step, i believe you and i had called phalen last year around clue 3 or 4. only to find it was at newell, and that it had been found before i even got a chance to dig there. i'm liking the frog pond, and since como is at the top of my list, wouldn't it be bold of mom to actually put it there?

Tom - thanks for the list of anagrams. I like omelet foam. I think that was the name of my omelet I had at Key's in Roseville last weekend. It just wasn't good and that term would definitely describe it. What entertainment you have brought me in just one post. LOL

there was also "tons female" and then "not females" right next to eachother. LOL. this has been "somewhat fun" except for the imposter. But i must go now. Hunting to do, and too many parks to go to.
