Pre-Dig Gig, Rehash Bash and other Cooler events

Hay Mikey and ME2 thanks for putting the time and stuff in to the door prizes!! they are great!! I loved the way you guys did the clue tie in the first time I had been there early enough to see that part!! and the prizes are awesome!!

How'd you get here so quick, Eags? I did have to let the Pigglettes out,potty, and answer an e-mail to my one boss, but... It couldn't have taken THAT long!

GOSH! Best yet! I KNOW I say that every year, but this time it really was. It was sssooooo sssslllloooowww and casual. You guys that didn't go to Obbs should certainly feel sorry. We had the best casual relaxing time! The owner put us in the basement party room - and as much as I like it for the Re-Hash Bash, I too think it too small... - and brought his DVD player down from his apartment for us and we watched NTFCF! That was the best - all of us together and watching that.

I got to know Iceman - he's been with us since 1998, if you didn't know it; used to post as Cereal Killer - and while this will blow his reputation: he is THE NICEST young gentleman! I just fell in love with him! Thoroughly enjoyed his company. Very pleasant, polite, respectful and mindful of others. Just a delite!

I've changed my mind. My favorite part of the movie is when Jake and Mappy Gooey Guy are being ssssoooo polite, sssssooooo patient with me - giving each other they 'eye' as I explain my reasoning for why the Med's hidden over on the other side o'CoNo at the south end o'the lake! IT WAS HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!! The looks on their faces were just PRICELESS!

And It was soo good to see you again!! glad you made it down I am so going to try to make some time to get up to the UP I would like to get back up there this summer some time!! also I want to go to Kitch-it-kipiy and also out to the old Iron town thing I cant ever rember what it is!! but at the time I got out there it was mostly closed!! because of the time of year!! it was cold in the early spring!!! on the BIG LAKE!!

I love that stuff I am such A GEEK!!! lol I love old school stuff like that!!

I think I am going to try and get A cooler Road Trip planed lol!! got room for tents!! hehehe :cool: :eyeroll:

We could rent a van and drive up! and party for a weekend and see all the kool stuff there is up there it is like a lost world in some places up there!!

If I had the money I would So move there!! and I have only said that about one other place and that is Denver! because it reminded me of home!!

and it was the same up there!!

Crap! I forgot to thank everyone for the things they did to make today possible! Mikey, Me2 - the prizes were a HOOT! Very very good job. I want to help next year.

Allison, again, thanks so much for the use of your Lodge.

You cooks ROCK! Thanks all for coming out and spending time with us all. I had a WONDERFUL time!

I got to know Iceman - he's been with us since 1998, if you didn't know it; used to post as Cereal Killer - and while this will blow his reputation: he is THE NICEST young gentleman! I just fell in love with him! Thoroughly enjoyed his company. Very pleasant, polite, respectful and mindful of others. Just a delite!

Boy did Someone Pull the wool over her EYES!!! :eyeroll: :eyeroll: :cool:

SHE DOnt know me vary well do she!!

I've changed my mind. My favorite part of the movie is when Jake and Mappy Gooey Guy are being ssssoooo polite, sssssooooo patient with me - giving each other they 'eye' as I explain my reasoning for why the Med's hidden over on the other side o'CoNo at the south end o'the lake! IT WAS HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!! The looks on their faces were just PRICELESS!

That has always been my favorite part - from the first time we saw it over at the U.

Wish we could have made it over - but Inks' back just needed a good rest. (Tomorrow he is to have Physical Torture again.)

You are a nice guy Ice. No doubt there.

Hay I eavn beat you on here and I live a million miles away!! :sheepish: :sheepish:

Does that make Green the horse's arse?

and if you look back at most of the posts I did back then I was the same way as I am today!!

God I wish my tv worked out here so I could watch some TV!!

Oh ya We are a few more stronger after today it sounds like I got the MedHeads To come on board and it sounds like this years winners are going to come on board also!! I dont know for shure but ha the more the marry I say!!

Isn't that the funniest, Terry? The tears were rolling down my face. I'd remembered Mappy Gooey Guy doing the 'eye' thighy at the camera, but hadn't remembered Jake giving Mappy the 'eye.' I laughed so hard! That right there sums up my noodling! Too effin' funny!!!

Iceman, you're the sweetest Asshole I'll ever meet! :sillygrin: :sillygrin: :sillygrin:

Not the sweetest NICEST!!! LOl azz hole!!

And You all must be crazy!! or something to think of me that way!!

You have definately improved. I think, likely, when we saw that the first time, you were still 6 steps away from just about anything. Now you see it for what it was then.

:eek:

OH! <slapping self in forehead> NICEST! Well, and sweetest, too. Nicest and sweetest.

You guys that didn't make it to Obbs missed it!

I ATE MR. MED FINDERS PICKLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No. You cannot use that as a tag-line as Barefootguy dibbsed it.

And Eags - It was wonderful beyond words having you back here for the hunt this year.

Wasn't it? Just like old times. Now, if could get Boxmeyer and Millet back...

Like I said there at Least you wernt buffing his Pickle in the bar lol!!! :eek:

No buffing. Polish. Would like to polish fireman's poles.

lol I think I can pull some strings!! lol

My roommate thinks by keeping the Heat at 50 he is going to save some money!! lol ok Not some LOTS of money!! it is so cold in my living room I can see my breath!! lol!! the hunt starts again!! for me!!

 :eek: :eek:

Well, I'm gonna fro for a bit. Play a mindless confuser game and bask in this good feeling of friendship and good times. Enjoy the comfy warm fuzzies I've got and contemplate my blessings.

Talk to you later I am going to try and find some body heat some where Online!! lol

 :sheepish: :sheepish:

Why rent...I have one :grin:

Are you implying that Mr. Med Hunter's Johnson is pickled? How very strange!

was great seeing everyone today!

Great seeing everyone today! The girls had a great time. Sorry we had to split so early though we had to go pick up my aunt and get ready for our SBP. YEAH GIANTS!!!

Yeah L & A Mommy for her spectacular cheesecake!

Yeah to everybody because you all rock!

Don't know about Mr. Med Hunter's Johnson. We've not had the pleasre to meet.

I ate Mr. Med Finder's pickle! The male half of the brother and sister act that found the Med.

I JUST REALIZED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is scary!!!!!!!!!

10 years ago... A brother and sister act found the Medallion! Maureen and Steve!

Anyway, can you believe it? Maybe he does think we were trying to poison him. I asked why he was eating and he said he was hungry. I asked why when he'd just left a pot luck and he said he'd only eaten a little there. I thought that was odd - free food, don't eat. Pay food, eat. Eags said it wasn't like he didn't have the money!

 :sillygrin:

Well we dont HAVE TO I guess!! but you know I didnt want to offer someone else stuff up for the use with out asking!! lol :grin:

You people are just too funny! I share my pickle with only one! :smile:

Thanks to everyone who helps to organize the gatherings for this group. From lining up Matty B's to the Rehash Bash. You are a wonderful group of people that I'm so lucky to get to know and spend time with.

Thanks to Mikey and Me2 for the prizes ~ very creative and nicely done!

Thanks to everyone for another great year!

Just wanted to drop in and let everyone know we were planning on coming to the rehash bash, but my wife and eldest daughter are hurtin with nasty colds, so we stayed behind :frown:

When's the next Cooler event? Is that going to be the AW mock hunt?

well who knows I mite get something going sooner for a gathering of peeps!!! just not a hunt!! thats AW's job for the first one after the big dance!!!

I'll need to deliver cookies :wink:

and I might do a hunt...I've found a sweet location :smile: finally after years of looking :smile:

Oh I have got my loc. picked out for my next hunt before I had the one picked out for the last hunt!! now to time it and right it out I will be good!!

somewhere in Kellogg :wink:

There may be a get together around Feb 21-23 (whatever Friday falls on)

then Davids in March - like cm said, details to follow.

DAVID, you are one wonderful guy. I am greatful to know you. Thank you for al the setting up and cleaning up and maintaining the food during the rehash.

Mikey rocked on the REAL clue explinations and prizes!

A BIG TY to everyone who brought food - wow was that all so tasty!

thank you to llbell and chrisdigger for standing in line on clue 11.

thank you to every single person that I got to ride with during the hunt - it meant alot this year, I appreciate your kindness and flexability.

still like Kellogg for this year's...makes more sense...

thats on Feb. 22 is Friday!! and I am compiling a list of places and things I will shoot it to you after I get the most of it!! for consideration!!

It sounds like I missed out on some fun at Obb's. To think I was having fun showing my wood to Snowjester and all the while I could have had my pickle eaten by Green at the bar! I really had fun yesterday and I just remember sitting there thinking that it really felt like a family picnic of sorts. I have grown fond of this group of people and it seems like each year I get to know a few more people. I hope to stay around more this year and participate in some smaller hunts. I would also like to go to Obb's more often. That place seems really cool and laid back. Please let me know if people ever go out for a drink. Ever since I got Tivo, I am not so anal about missing Canadian Parliament on C-SPAN.

Hay ya I was going to get your number so after I get my taxes back we could go out and hit a bar or 2!!!

SO...It seems to me there's a group of people that are asking for change for the sake of change - why is it needed? I always thought that half the fun of McGovern's was the crappy service.

Also: Child friendly = old. As we age as a group, being inside and sitting down becomes much more enticing. I'm not going to lie, I enjoy sitting down and being warm much more today than I did 10 years ago.

And when you have the Little BOO BOO bear you will be thanking alot of us also for bring it In doors!!! lol

seems to me it all worked out pretty well the way it is.

Me two... For two drinks?

Me too. What's the point of change if everybody's by and large happy?

yep I got you down for a few drinks!!! thanks again for the drinks!! that Bloody Was GOOD!!! I love the beef stick in it!!

Ok who is going to be first to jump on that on??? :eyeroll: :eyeroll:

I thought so too. The service at Matty B's was so good compared to McGovern's. I would love for that to be our new predig home.

It was a good year to make the change too. With Santa Dave gone, it would have been harder for some of us to be at McGovern's anyway. He loved those hot turkey sandwiches with as much cranberry sauce as they would keep bringing him.

And being indoors for the rehash just makes it easier and conversation friendlier I think.

Did Allison get enough for the lodge?

One change this year (PDG) and one last year (RHB). The only question open is about the day of the week for the RHB. For the past couple of years, the superbowl has made a difference for some. I prefer the Sunday, but as we gear up again next year, we should try to come to a consensus for that day so we have that information up front and ready for everyone who only shows up here at hunt time.

oh crap..back to the drawing board :frown:
