I've never been sure "exactly" where Pig's Eye is...I think I've heard of a Pig's Eye Landing somewhere. I think he lived in a cave somewhere. Anyone know?

I thought Pig's Eye was a reference to a degeneration of the riverfront in St.Paul during the turn of the century.You know lots of sinning goin on down there.

Ok, I've got it. The Medallion is somewhere on the body of Jesse the Body.

  • Wrestling is a sort of duel
  • Jesse was in the Navy Seals
  • He makes a lot of gold as governor
  • Most people would have to stand on their toes to look him in the eye
  • He is pretty bold
  • Jesse is not a park
  • Jesse is not a golf course or statue, though you probably still don't want to annoy him.

    I can't claim to have ever been there (can anyone?) but I believe Pig's Eye Park is to the south of Battle Creek, along the river. I would seriously doubt though that they would put it there.

    You mean you didn't put it there!

    That'd be a hoot...the entire Crew showing up on the front lawn of the Governor's mansion demanding he come out so we could do a strip search....that's another way for the Crew to get famous...

    Well you know, if you're going to get the medallion away from Jesse, you're going to have to be pretty bold. After all, he may want the $10,000 for himself.

    Ares, you just put a small "b+ space" before the line you want to post. Or you can do itallics by using a "i + space" before each line.

    Like this-

    i(space)Get it?

    Get IT?

    i've got that figured out, scribe. it haunts me and my lower case typing all the time. how'd you get the break in the middle?

    If you took all the bold letters, and applied them to a keypad, that is what you would get. I don't see these numbers as having any significance though.

    Its actually TFGA, though T he F air G round A rea would make more sense anyway, but I wouldn't bet on it.

    Allison,don't you think it weird that 7 and 15 appear twice? And eleven thats two ones.

    What do you make of it?

    >T he F air G round A rea

    If the next clues stanzas begin with a H, A, R, and R then I'd start thinking this way, for now I still like Capital Mall, but tonight we go cruising for clues.

    Mon, 01/22/2001 - 9:41 AM Permalink
    Allison Wonderland

    Hmmm, maybe its because they used the same letter twice?

    7+7=14+15+15=44+1+1=46

    or

    7+7=14+15+15=44+11=55

    Hwy 55.

    Thank you,thank you!

    Thanks Shoveler! With my eyes closed even!

    Dozer,also could mean don't be diggin up people's yards!

    I still think the words "secret item" from the first clue implies that there is some sort of secret word play of some kind in the clue or clues.

    The Mounds are not actually private property, so no, I don't think it would mean that.
