Howdy, Jeff! Nah. I've given up 500 for The Hunt. Long story... But I had to actually count on my fingers, starting with 1952, to figure out how this izz the 50th Hunt. This izz AFTER saying ittiz the 50th because there were two in 1953!!! Since you can do your math so well, you KNOW that comes out to 51!!!!

I think I'll go cook a ham for 16 hours and serve with 24 lbs. o'potatoe salad...

wazzzaaap!!!! hey, im new here, and i'll be around quite often. Seeing how me and my homie Evo K Stevo were standing right on top of the damn thing last year, and were about an hour from leaving to go out and get it the next day, and we were 20 feet away from where it was found the year before that, therefore, we figure, THIS IS OUR YEAR!!

Sent. You know our phone is pretty new here too. You might try again and see if I can actually answer it this time.

Cooler! I don't feel so bad not being able to answer mine!!!

I wonder who it was I hung up on....

Hey Green, spending all that time in McGovern's on the 24th, you'll never find the darn thing!

You know, that's the deal. I bet this schedule will change if the hunting part actually heats up and folks are out digging. I'm planning on heading to McGovern's tomorrow night and reserve Wednesday for some digging.

Ter, Wolff...

Thank you both. I had that in my pea(green)-sized head and assumed it was understood...

And we all know what "assume" does...

Yes, Ter, you're 100% correct. That's why Trent wants to get filming ASAP upon landing. He plans to follow the Diggers and if things get going on Weds, he's NOT going to Bee sitting at The Conservatory OR McGovern's.

Sorry, I should have/meant to include sumpin' like that.

THANKS fur bringing it out!

Hmm, I've been doing a bit of math to plot out the timely progression of the information given in all of the hunts I have information for, then plotting out the trends of that information to analyze. They've demonstrated a few constants that lead me to not worry about anything but loosely putting together trick words and exploring the small history references also given. Overanalysis will burn out the lightbulbs, I emplore you all to give it at least a few more days before you go bonkers and give all your intellect away prematurely. :)

It also seems like every year it's the 10th anniversary of this, 50th anniversary of that... :) I can't say that I freak out about it much at all. "It's the 50th anniversary of the hunt, everything is going to be backwards," and the like of comments aren't very conclusive and aren't logical. Mathematically I've gone through the anniversaries of everthing by the 5s, from 5 until now (with the hunts I have the information about), and not one time has the rhythm of the clues been horribly wrung into some secret shape because of the anniversaries of some old couple's name that you put together out of every fifth letter in every fifth word. Granted, because of the 50th anniversary nature this year, I believe that the clues may have more thought and may rise the overall difficulty, but my beliefs end there... and I have the data to back my belief. :) I will probably be posting my data trends and explain them on a website sometime if I have the time, so look forward to that.

Tonight will be a good car ride. I have some good theories.

I was just joking but now you really have me confused. Maybe Tim_the_nephew will straighten me out.

Good. There's hope for moi if math is NOT a consideration!

I still say ittiz in the library with Professor Plum and Miss Scarlet.

Wolff...

IF the Crew's not laboriously Digging on Weds, but still sitting in the weeds noodling, THEN there will be some filming at The Conservatory and McGovern's.

IF all h@ll'$ broken loose and we're hot on the heels o'The Blue Puck, there is NO WAY the film crew is going to be sitting and cooling their jets at McGovern's and/or The Conservatory - they can set up a filming there later - as they'll be following the action.

Capish?

So is the "not in a park" theory still holding up?

Mon, 01/22/2001 - 6:36 PM Permalink
Terry

It holds up until there is a park mentioned - or until the clues lead us to a park.

still don't have anything solid yet though

To paraphrase Steve Martin "The new Cooler Crew website is up! Look there's my name! This is exactly the kind of free publicity I could use!"

Free publicity...just think of the publicity when one of us finds that blue puck!

Treasure Digger

Hey, guys. Just checking in to see if anyone is discussing the clues. Does anyone think the capital grounds might be a consideration since the "park" idea hasn't been actually identified or clarified?

Hey Terr... How goes it?

Mon, 01/22/2001 - 6:47 PM Permalink
Terry

Treasure Digger - That's my early thoughts...but that could be all washed up with the next clue.

GOOD GODS (typed "Dogs" again...)

RADAR? You're FINALLY here??? Ittiz GOOD TO SEE YOU!!!!!! HOW ARE YOU!!! I've not talked to you in ages!!!!

Treasure Digger

Terry, that's what I try to keep in mind. One clue may point you exactly to the park, that is until the next clue comes out. I was discussing Battle Creek yesterday since it's too obvious and they wouldn't dare tell us right away -- or would they???? They love to confuse us. Love the challenge! I was thinking more toward the capital since they said St. Paul not really Ramsey County. Only a few more hours until more confusion.

I should mention that if I forgot any names - and that's certainly possible - let me know and we can get that added.

Retiring sounds like a plan to me. We're working on that.

Terr, not the capitol grounds... Think of a nice remote/small park in St Paul and that is where it will be... remember, 10K is up for grabs. It has to be remote.... Green, Hash, rehash,,, if you got the goods.. who cares???
