Hey all, as always it was a ball. It was great meeting everyone. Including but not limited to.......Me2, Marley King & his sweetie, Downtown Dave, Wolfpac & his family, Ian, The Camo Crew........so many others I can't think of at the top of my head. See ya all next year.
Winger, really sorry about your clothes but that was funny as heck. Glad you didn't get hurt. It was a one in a million, don't ya think?
Hi, Lady. Thanks for the hug and kiss from DDY last nite. Was nice. Yeah. Red. Only colour they come/came in.
24 lbs. o'potatoe salad does NOT equate with WW having the brains of a gnat and burning his butt!!!
Well, ittiz over for another year. The fat lady's sung. This year having it all end hurts more than most...
Such a nice fairy tale we took part in... Who'd a'thunk three years ago??? Certainly not me. Funny what we've all wrought just being us, ourselves...
Jent and Trackie (as I kept calling them over, and over and OVER in the wee hours with no sleep...) asked me more than once, "In one sentance, 'Describe The Cooler Crew.'"
And I couldn't. Can't be done. And ittiz not just because I can't ever describe anything in one sentance!
How do you describe it all? The friendship, the love, the commariderie, the give/take, the acceptance, the diversity, the open-mindedness, the 'being there,' the assistance in times of trouble, the worry, the concern, the financial assistance in simple ways, the laughs, the tears, the hugs, the companionship, the shared interests?
How do you describe it all? Maybe some of you can. But I can't.
All I know is that I'm so proud I'm a Coolerhead. I'm so proud of all of you - my friends, my family. I'm so proud of us.
Just goes to show... Coolerheads *do* prevail... And in very important ways.
Green - If they want one sentence to describe the crew...let's work on it.
How about something like this...
The cooler crew is an online community that is made up folks with a commonality that involves digging in parks in the dead of the winter and because we have this obsession in common, we find other parts of us that have commonality too...and partz is partz!
You know...if you don't understand the community, you'll never understand the celebrations. If they want one sentence, we gotta come up with one. We want them to understand this. Maybe it would be helpful if we understood it ourselves better - but we are what we are and there needs to be words - kinda like a mission statement that describes us. Maybe not in totality, but in summary.
Maybe it's something simple. Something like "We dig!"
We dig for the medallion. We dig for bocks. We dig being together with other diggers. We dig noodling. We dig digging. We dig picnics in the park in the middle of winter. We dig.
They don't "want it," they don't "need it." You know? We *could* use a one-sentance thighy... But ittiz not really like we gotta have one...
I truly think what Trent and Jackie were getting at izz that it - US - cannot be summed up in one sentance. Well, at least from my perspective. You're well on your way to doing it - the one sentance thighy... But...
But...
Ittiz cold. Ittiz not "us." Ittiz... Well, onesentancey! I really don't think we can do it. Not really. Not and get "us" across.
I really don't think The Cooler Crew can Bee pigeon-holed into one sentance...
Something, some intregal part, would Bee missing...
Well. Whatever. Doesn't matter, really. I guess.
But to me.
Because it can't be done. It just can't be. Like try xplaining Einstein's relativity theory in one sentance. (And don't give me any E=MC(squared) crap. You gotta xplain all the parts - PARTZ IZZ PARTZ!!! - Beefore you can xplain the whole frickin' theory!)
Whatever. My noodle; my bone I'm worrying. Not important.
I didn't know there was so much action in the "off season". Will have to open the page every once in awhile to see Wuzzzuppppp. Oh God, I'm even doing that now. My wife is getting into this now and that's great.
She had put them down on the bench and left them there. I picked them up and held on to them for a bit. I gave them to your husband though. She seemed to get a kick out of when I was wearing them. And I would hope that they're in bed too :)
"The cooler crew is an online community that is made up folks with a commonality that involves digging in parks in the dead of the winter and because we have this obsession in common, we find other parts of us that have commonality too...and partz is partz!"
That's a nice start Terry but I don't think it can be summed up in one sentence. I think we need something more like what a company does with it's "Mission Statement"?
Something to noodle about over the next year?
"I really think this hunt thing becomes an OBSESSION."
It does!!! I never thought I'd get into this, it just isn't like me. But I'm hooked!
Had a great time with you all this year! Thanks to everyone for their kindness and friendship! Thanks to a few that get some twisted but harmless humor!
Green,Terry and the core group,thank you for all of your time and effort,I don't think you know how much it is really appreciated!
Ho hum,geuss I'll just put some of that bad humor back into the rest of the cooler for another 11 months........:)
Its been a great hunt for me. I met a lot of new people, and I'm glad for that. I look forward to seeing people throughout the year, and next winter. :)
Scribe- I realized that after I posted it. I let your JoePimp hubby point it out though. If you need help with training, come join my club and work out :) And I don't know where Crazy is, haven't heard from her.
oh come on green, a gnat would sit on the heater, i thought i was a good distance, but my jacket (which has allot of polyester) probally just flew back. god how EM-BARE-ASS-ING
I need to get off to bed also. Goodnight all. See you in the morning Marge. Good nigh Homer. Good night Ares. Goodnight WW. and to all you others out there, catch you on the flip-side.

Thanks for the fun this year. Only 11 & 1/2 months until the next hunt starts. Have a good year everyone.

Doesn't quite cover it...but it's a start?
You know...if you don't understand the community, you'll never understand the celebrations. If they want one sentence, we gotta come up with one. We want them to understand this.

Something more to noodle!
For now I'm off to a hot shower and some dishes. BBL
I really think this hunt thing becomes an OBSESSION. It was nice meeting all of you and until next year I now have golf to look forward to.
Ter, you're sucha love. So much.
They don't "want it," they don't "need it." You know? We *could* use a one-sentance thighy... But ittiz not really like we gotta have one...

Yust me...
Keeping the fat lady company... She sings, I cry.
Sorry the pac missed you Green but there's always next year.
Very sorry I mizzed you, Uncs, and your crew... Thanks for my GREEN name tag! I got it, and it was duly stuck on me! :D
Don't gotta wait until next year... We have a park to clean on Earth Day (CoMo..) and there will Bee "pic-a-nics, BooBoo" throughout the year...
Touch base every once in awhile in "Shoot The Breeze," and you'll see what we're up to!
Joe. (sigh)
pac - That's the best part. There is always next year...and all the partz in between...obsessions!
I didn't know there was so much action in the "off season". Will have to open the page every once in awhile to see Wuzzzuppppp. Oh God, I'm even doing that now. My wife is getting into this now and that's great.
Winger- Can it now be said that you have a hot ass?
Scorched would be more like it!!!
I don't know that you could any longer refer to him as a smart-a$$....
Hey Mom. How are the girls? Did Emmy get her glasses back?
Did she lose her glasses? I hadn't noticed. It didn't seem to be an issue for her, so she must have them.
Other than that, they are fine - and in bed asleep (I hope!).
She had put them down on the bench and left them there. I picked them up and held on to them for a bit. I gave them to your husband though. She seemed to get a kick out of when I was wearing them. And I would hope that they're in bed too :)
I know they're in bed - just not sure if they're asleep.
You didn't wear them out enough? Btw, they are really cute. I had a good time with them :)
And slowly, the Coolerheads return back to society, only to return again next winter...

THX,get off the Cooler,the hunt is officially over!
Come to bed Homer!
Had a great time with you all this year! Thanks to everyone for their kindness and friendship! Thanks to a few that get some twisted but harmless humor!
Green,Terry and the core group,thank you for all of your time and effort,I don't think you know how much it is really appreciated!
Ho hum,geuss I'll just put some of that bad humor back into the rest of the cooler for another 11 months........:)
terry, thx, i think my tag line sums it all up :)
::monotone::
Hi Ares!
GROUP HUG! I LOVE YOU GUYS!
hi pitchfork =)
I LOVE YOU GUYS!
does thx know about this? :)
sorry, it's been a long past 48 hours. :)
Ares,we should call you the faceless one! I don't think you were working at all! You were at the local Trekkie convention!
Its been a great hunt for me. I met a lot of new people, and I'm glad for that. I look forward to seeing people throughout the year, and next winter. :)
Hey MedKIDS! Thanks for the cookies to bribe the kids with!
Scribe- Did you get my email? How the kiddies like my cookies? Or haven't they been good yet? ;)
You were at the local Trekkie convention!
no. i'm more of a star wars guy than a trekkie.
faceless is fine with me.
Hehe, no problem. You can eat them too ya know :)
Hey MedKids, I don't need to eat them. I'm getting back into training.
Ares, Ahhh Hahh, so you did blow us off for a convention?!
BTW MedKids. THX says you missed a 27272 PalinaJOE!
He's such a JOE HO!
Hey, I was just thinking.........where's 50? She didn't show up today and she hasn't been online?
no, i blew you off for a big fat pay raise in august =)
Scribe- I realized that after I posted it. I let your JoePimp hubby point it out though. If you need help with training, come join my club and work out :) And I don't know where Crazy is, haven't heard from her.
MedKids, I don't do clubs to work out. I have a sport I like to work at. Clubs were never were my style. And......people hate me there. LOL!
Ares, Raise...smaise! Money can't buy you love!
Money can't buy you love!
but it can buy a remarkably close facsimile thereof :)
don't tell me you're trying to hook me up, now?
THX keeps saying "Come to bed Marge" so before that Marge chick takes my place I better be going.
later scribe.
Ares, it's hard to hook up a guy with no face! LOL!
I guess you could buy it but it's not something I'd brag about.
you can show pics of my car though :)
oh come on green, a gnat would sit on the heater, i thought i was a good distance, but my jacket (which has allot of polyester) probally just flew back. god how EM-BARE-ASS-ING
but hey, scored a goal in broomball!!!
not to be cruel, wing, but seeing that would have made a trip to como this afternoon all worthwhile :)
I need to get off to bed also. Goodnight all. See you in the morning Marge. Good nigh Homer. Good night Ares. Goodnight WW. and to all you others out there, catch you on the flip-side.
nite kids. i'm checking out for a few hours, as well. nite everyone.
